The Royal Asgardian

Chapter 48

I sat across the field and started to meditate again. Bringing up the water to surround me.

Everyone had their reasons for wanting time at the moment. To feel peace. To get answers. To not worry just for a moment.

I thought about how Loki and I would play mind tricks on Thor. He would be talking to a maiden and we would distort her figure. Making Thor disgusted of her.

He would throw his hammer at us. But it was great. He couldn't get laid for a while. For they have been upset for him only looking at the surface.

I hear heavy steps approach me.

"I'm sorry..." Steve's most sincerest voice sings in my ears.

"I forgive you." I still had my eyes closed.

Steve breaks through my water drops and hug me close.

Stunned I relax into his arms. I turn to him. "What's wrong?"

He sighs and tells me about how he saw Peggy in his vision thing in his mind. How much it's affecting him. "I just don't want to lose you.." he grabs my hands. "After this is all over... will you marry me?"

I open my eyes wide. "Asking for a goddess hand in marriage is no little thing." I smile.

"Don't worry. I'll do it properly." He Smiles brightly at me.

"Alright love birds. Fury is in. Let's go." Tony buts in.

I tackle Steve in a hug and kiss him slowly. "I love you Steve Rogers." I stand up and smile down at him. I reach out my hand to him and he gladly takes it.

We walk hand and hand inside the house.

"Welcome back. Any developments?" Natasha teases.

Nick clears his throat and Starts to speak. "Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asks.

"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though." Nick looks at steve.

"He still going after launch codes?" Tony trying to get some questions answered.

Nick Says in a matter of fact way "Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."

"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare." Tony bragged proving that Ultron probably got in under the radar.

Nick  rewinds "Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that."

I look to steve "NEXUS?"

Bruce Answers so everyone can understand "It's the world internet hub in Oslo, every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth."

"So what'd they say?" Clint asks.

Nick Takes the attention back. "He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."

Tony Now even more curious "By whom?"

Nick looks at him "Parties unknown."

Natasha Speaks up "Do we have an ally?"

Nick Tills his head side to side. "Ehhh Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is."

Tony Stands "I might need to visit Oslo, find our "unknown.""

Natasha A little disappointed "Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that."

Nick Smiles "I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."

Natasha Looks at steve "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk."

Steve squeezes my hand "You know what, Romanoff?" He starts.

Natasha smiles mischievously at him

Nick Looks at him now "So what does he want?"

"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies." Steve finishes.

Tony Then jumps into the conversation "Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it."

"I can't believe you. And you banner should've said no." I look at Bruce.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Natasha adds.

Bruce ignores us and Looks like he got an idea. "They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve. Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"
