When Worlds Collide (Marvel/Star Wars)

Chapter 33: Meeting Odin & Frigga

I looked around the palace in awe. It was so beautiful, far more beautiful than any other palace I've ever laid my eyes on. Finally we arrived at the throne chambers were Thor's and Loki's father sat on a throne with a woman, I believed to be Frigga, standing next to him.

"Father, mother, this is Storm. Storm this is my father, Odin, and my mother, Frigga." Thor introduced.

I curtsied before them. "It's a pleasure to meet you, your majesties."

"So you're the woman from a different galaxy?" Odin questioned.

I nodded. "Yes, your majesty. I arrived on Earth with three of my good friends."

"And we would like to thank you for helping to stop Loki from destroying a world that wasn't even your home." Odin informed me.

I waved it off. "It was nothing. Back home I'm a Jedi Master and as Jedi we are taught to be guardians of peace."

"But Thor has told us that you've developed feelings for Loki." Frigga commented.

"Indeed, that must've difficult for you." Odin added.

Oh great...They know too. I sighed. "Yes...it was very difficult. And to be honest, I wasn't there at the end of the battle. My orb transported me back home where a Galactic War broke out, but it's all good now. We won the war."

"And this orb? Where is it now?" Thor inquired.

"Unfortunately it was destroyed by an Imperial officer who despises Jedi...and anyone in general to be honest." I confessed. "I'm here because I was able to return in another way."

"And why have you returned?" Odin asked. 

"I promised Loki I would return in one piece." I replied. "Which is why I'm here."

"Well I'm sorry to inform you that he'll be in the Asgardian prison for the rest of his days." Odin said.

My face fell. Of course...What was I expecting? For him to freely walk on Asgard as he pleased after the stunt he pulled? I wish I could've stopped him. A sigh escaped lips. "I wish I could've done something...to stop him. I know I could've..."

"Storm, don't blame yourself. You couldn't have done anything more." Thor assured me. "Loki would've still gone through with his whether he met you or not."

I shook my head. "That's where you're wrong. I know what Loki's done is wrong and I can't justify what he's done, but I know there's still some good in him. Deep down in his heart, there's a heart of gold."

Odin, Frigga, and Thor were taken back by my response. I merely stood there, not knowing what to say or do. Did I say something wrong?

"Was it something I said?" I asked rather frantically. "I didn't mean to upset any of you."

"You didn't upset us, Storm. On the contrary, it amazes me how much you care for our son." Frigga explained. "We can tell you mean well."

"But do you truly think there's still some good in Loki?" Thor questioned, sounding unsure.

"I understand that you are uncertain, but I've seen a side of Loki that no one's seen before." I revealed. "Loki helped me when no one else could. I know what he seeks and it's merely redemption...to feel loved."

"But he does have love here. Father, mother, and I love him." Thor replied.

"I understand that and you all do, but he doesn't feel it." I explained. "Especially now that he knows what he truly is."

"He's our son and nothing will change that." Odin informed me.

I nodded. "Of course."

"Thank you for your insight, Storm." Frigga commented. "I now know why Loki's fond of you."

My eyes lit up. "He's spoken about me?"

"Yes, ever since I visited him in his cell he's always spoken wonderful things about you." Frigga said with a genuine smile. "I'm glad you've returned...he was devastated when you stopped contacting him. He assumed the worst, he thought you died."

I smiled, feeling terrible for making Loki go through that pain. "I feel awful for making him go through that but believe me, I'm glad to be back."

Days went by and I began to follow a new routine. After breakfast, I visited Loki and talk for a while, then I'd train Hilna, after lunch Hilna, Maya, and I trained with Thor and his friends, Sif, Volstagg, and Fandral, and then dinner was served shortly after our long training.

However this routine stopped when Thor's girlfriend, Jane Foster came to Asgard, containing something called the Aether. It was rather strange...Jane looked a lot like my old friend Padmé. I think that is why I quickly became friends with her. Currently, I was with Frigga walking through the gardens as I spoke of my home planet, Corellia. It wasn't long until we found Thor and Jane. We heard Thor as we approached them. "My father doesn't know everything."

"Don't let him hear you say that." Frigga replied with a smile.

"Jane Foster please meet Frigga, the Queen of Asgard, my mother." Thor introduced them.

Jane wore a shy smile as she spoke. "Hi."

"And you've met Storm not too long ago." Thor added.

Jane nodded. "Yeah, I remember. It's nice to see you again."

I smiled in return. "It's good to see you again as well."

At that moment we heard alarms go off, and they sounded like they were coming from the prison cells. Frigga gasped. "The prisons."

No...please tell me it isn't him who has caused the alarms to go off. Thor and I exchanged a look. "Loki."

"The both of you may go. I will look after her." Frigga assured us.

With that Thor and I hurried to the prison. Little did we know that Loki wasn't the one who sounded the alarm.
