The Tale of a Midgardian Frost Giant

Chapter 15

(Jane's PoV)

We where at the airport the next morning. Trixie, Darcy, Agent Romanoff, and I were there.

"Well it was great to meet you," I told Trixie.

"Thanks, it was good to meet you too," she told me.

"You'll have to come back and visit us again if it gets to hot," Darcy said with a slight laugh.

"Don't worry I will," Trixie said as we headed off to our different planes. It was very cool to get to see Trixie's powers, and I really hope I could see her again soon. But I was still a little upset over the way she reacted talking about her past. I felt bad for her, and if she has another panic attack she could hurt herself but I'm sure she'll be fine.

"That was awesome," Darcy said.

"I know, it was amazing! Oh and I'm going to get you back for pushing me across the room," I said with a laugh and Darcy laughed too.

(Trixie's PoV)

As we boarded the plane I honestly couldn't wait to get back to New York. I really wanted to know what was in that letter. I wasn't sure whether or not I should be nervous, or excited. Honestly, I was a little bit of both. What could it be about? Could it be why they abandoned my Adam and I? Could it have to do with my powers? Could it have to do with why I have these powers, or could it have to do with the realm one of my parents were from?! Who knows what it could be about? Well I guess I would find out soon. As the hours ticked by I grew more excited/nervous the closer we got to New York. Natasha was talking to some SHIELD agents in another part of the plane, so I was alone. As I continued thinking about the letter a terrible thought came to my mind. What if the letter is about the reason they abandoned us, but what if the reason is because I was different? What if I wasn't from another realm, and I was just different? What if they got rid of me because I was a monster?! As the thoughts raced through my mind I quickly drove them out as my breathing quickened. 

'Come on, deep breaths. Get it together,' I thought to myself. I quickly lost track of time, and after what felt like days, the plane finally got back to New York. As we got off the plane Natasha and I began heading toward a SHIELD car.

"You nervous?" she asked.

"Yes," I said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine," she told me with a small smile after we got into the car. When we arrived back at Stark tower I realized I was much more nervous, than excited. Ever sense that thought on the plane my excitement had been washed away. As we stepped into the elevator I felt as if I was getting closer and closer to either something that would make me extremely happy or extremely sad. I really hope it wasn't the second one, because I know I won't able to calm myself down enough to stop my skin from changing. When we got to the top floor all the Avengers were there sitting on the couches, and I noticed Tony was holding an envelope that looked a little old. I hesitantly walked over and sat between Steve and Tony. No one said a word, and Tony handed me the envelope. I slowly took it out of his hand, and began to open it. With every breath I took I wondered and worried about the letter. As I opened it, I took out an old sheet of paper with writing on it. I silently began reading the letter in my head.

"Dear Trixie,

I'm not sure when you'll find this, or if you ever will at all. I'm not sure that when if you find this you'll forgive me or not, but even if you don't I beg you to read this. You know that your different, your powers over ice aren't normal for a human. But the truth is, your not completely human. I'll explain, you see I was not a normal human. I was a Frost Giant, from a different realm called Jotunheim. I came to live on Earth, hoping my life would be better than on Jotunheim. After about two years of living here, I met your mother. We soon fell in love and started to see each other more and more. After about six months I decided to show her my secret, the powers of ice. I feared that she would no longer like me, but I didn't want to hide the truth. Although, when I showed her she didn't like me any less. She accepted me. Most of the time we would be together. Sometimes we went out to drink, and other times I showed her some of my powers. But soon I was on an agency called SHIELD's radar. They didn't come talk to me, but every now and then we would see them keeping an eye on us from afar. But your mother wouldn't leave, she wasn't going to let SHIELD destroy our bonds. A few years passed and you were born. The truth is, we were a little upset that you were born with these powers, but only because we didn't want you to feel different. The first year went well, and then the next year your brother would be born. But then something happened. Your mother got sick, but she didn't tell me this. Then when your brother was born, she told me that she knew she wasn't going to make it. She had gotten cancer from all the times we would drink, and she passed away after Adam was born. Soon after that SHIELD came to talk to me and when I didn't agree to join them they got annoyed. They were starting to chase me, but they didn't know about you or your brother. So I decided to hide you in an ally way, and hope you would make it. I did this because I would rather leave you and give you a small chance, then bring you with me and know you wouldn't have a chance at all. Trixie, I think you might feel like it's your job to protect and watch over Adam, and to make sure nothing bad happens to him. But if something does, it won't be your fault. Honestly, if Adam doesn't last long I'll tell you a secret. Adam was sick when he was born, so I feared he wouldn't last long but I hope he does. I hope you do too. I also hope you know your powers aren't a bad thing and that if something did happen to Adam I forgive you. Now there is a song I've heard, and it almost explains my life before you were born, and I thought I should write it here for you to see. It's called 'terrible things' by Mayday Parade.

'By the time I was your age, I'd give anything,

To fall in love truly was all I could think.

That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams,

The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen.

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?

I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.

I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,

I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me,".

Now son, I'm only telling you this,

Because life, can do terrible things.

Now most of the time, we'd had too much to drink,

And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything.

Too young to notice, and too dumb to care,

Love was a story, that couldn't compare.

I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?

I made you a present with paper and string.

Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.

You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

Now son, I'm only telling you this...

Because life, can do terrible things.

You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray

That God, shows you differently

She said, "Boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?

It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.

Please, don't be sad now, I really believe

You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me,".

Slow, so slow,

I fell to the ground, on my knees.

So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose.

If given the choice, then, I beg you to choose.

To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you

I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

Now son, I'm only telling you this,

Because life, can do terrible things.'

But I want you to know that I'm only telling you this because life can also do wonderful things, and at the end of this song where it says you shouldn't fall in love, well I think you should. Even if it brings you pain, and you lose it because it's all worth it just to have that feeling of joy that we once had in that short year together. So if you have the chance, don't walk away. Don't make the mistake of letting the past affect your future, when your future has the chance to be amazing.

                                                                                                                  -Dad"

As I finished reading, I starred at the paper. A sick sense of pain, regret, and guilt was all over me. I made a mistake. I had the chance, but I.....I walked away from Loki.
