"Where are we exactly going again? And why are we in some godforsaken town all the way here in New Mexico? Are we here to maybe catch some drug lords or punish some sinner who rapes kids after doing drugs? Wait, you wouldn't have come here personally if it were that simple, would you? You could have just sent a team... Then maybe are we here to catch an evil metahuman who dreams of enslaving the world with the help of drugs?" Lorna asked while absentmindedly tossing a coin, a habit she seemed to have picked up because of the unique relation her powers have with metal.

"Why do all of your guesses include drugs in them? And no, not quite. We are here to catch some gods for ourselves. You might have even heard of them. Although they are not quite as famous as the Greek gods, they are also sometimes discussed in movies, shows, and books. You ever heard of the Norse gods?"

"You mean the tales about a one-eyed fogey and his two spoilt children. As much as I remember, one was a drunkard son with a hammer and the other was a lying prankster. By the way, I first heard about them from Mask movies. You should watch it sometimes, it's hilarious... Wait, are we here to catch a Norse god of drugs?" She answered after thinking for a few moments.

"... No..., although you are pretty close. Yes, Odin and his two sons, Thor, the God of Thunder, and Loki, the god of mischief are the Centrepoint of the entire Norse pantheon. Asgardians, they are called. Their home Asgard is one of the ten realms or dimensions that are connected to the world tree Yggdrasil... Sorry, correction, there are nine realms now since the tenth realm was separated and sealed away by Odin millennia ago. Anyway, one of these Asgardians, specifically Thor, the god of thunder whom you mentioned earlier seems to have been banished here by his father for some reason. We are just here to pay him a visit." I explained as we neared a small diner in the center of the town.

"Talk? Heh, you wouldn't have brought me if you just wanted to talk. You said you wanted to make use of my abilities and I am pretty sure my best ability is not looking cute and friendly... although I can look sexy if you want to. So, if you want to make use of my other skills later at night, I wouldn't refuse." She giggled, hoping that it would be enough to tease me and get a reaction out of me.

Over the years, she seems to have developed the personality of a troublesome yet caring elder sister because of her siblings and the other young X-men she always looked after. However, if she thought that she could fluster me with just this, then she had another thing coming.

"Maybe later." I teased back with a smile. "Now, let's go in. We have a god to meet. Oh, and don't give them too much info about us. Just follow the secrecy protocols meant for civilians." I warned before walking into the diner.

The diner was mostly empty with only a few people inside having breakfast and drinking coffee. The majority of the people were just there to talk with other people and pass the time. In fact, I could already hear hushed whispers about a hammer, so I was pretty confident that this world's Thor was similar to the one in MCU... at least when it came to plot.

"I am telling you; I am a god and if you help me return to my rightful position on the throne of Asgard, then my entire realm will be grateful to you. You will get all the ale you can drink and even one of the finest goats that Asgard has to offer." I heard Thor trying to explain his origins to three people sitting at his table with a helpless expression on their faces while the three just looked at him like he was crazy, and it was their fault.
