Summary: You experience an unlikely reunion after an unexpected crash in Midgard.
---
The noxious dust settled, riddling the sky with exhaust and foliage. Trees bent under the weight of the ship shoving them into the ground. The front of the ship scraped the ground, digging into the earth, mixing with the warm rain building a river around the crash.
"Shit," You rolled your head to the side of your chair, looking through the side window at the mutilated greenery encircling you. The warning lights blinked, slower and dimmer as they died with the rest of the ship. The backup system came online with a hum and readily fell back into silence, short circuiting as water seeped into the ship.
Neck creaking as you ripped the belts from your chest, you grabbed your glowing whip hanging from the chair and locked it in the holster on your thigh. You stumbled to the exit, slipping as the ship wavered. Pressing the release button, you groaned as the door whirred, trying to open but overheating instead. You smacked the door in defiance before heading towards your arsenal.
Pulling the key from your gear, you clicked open the lock and the door opened forward at an angle as the ship sank farther into the forest floor. You tossed the closer weapons aside, watching them slide with the curve of the floor. Digging your arm deep in the arsenal, you reached for the largest gun. It was cold against your fingers and scraped hard against the protective walls as you yanked it free.
Your feet clicked against the metal as you rushed to the other side of the hall. Blood dripped from your temple, landing on the ground and creating a physical representation of the path you'd taken.
Grabbing the ammunition, you locked it in the gun, aiming at the exit. With a shaky breath, you pulled the trigger.
A flash of light like a firework illuminated the ship, then disappeared in a pop. The door remained stuck in place, though a small indentation formed where the weapon made contact.
"Again," You hissed as your temples beat with the swell of adrenaline. This time you closed your eyes before firing, but the light seeped through your lids regardless, leaving bursts of light within the blackness of sightlessness.
Over and over you shot the hinges until the door creaked and fell into the building storm. Tossing the gun away, you pulled your whip from your holster. It buzzed, recognizing your touch and looped itself through your fingers like a snake.
You stepped into the rain to be blinded with a circling spotlight.
"I'd put down the whip, princess," A booming voice came from the ship circling you.
Looking to the sky, you opened your mouth in defiance, feeling the hot rain against your tongue. Hair soaking, it clung to your face like a slashed mask. You cracked the whip and dodged as a shield screamed past you, imbedding in the side ship like a rock in water.
An arrow followed and you spun the whip around the flimsy stick, cracking it in half.
"Wait!" A voice yelled through the storm, barely audible over the rushing wind. Wiping the hair from your eyes, you recognized a rain-soaked Thor. "Stop. Now!"
You bowed your head in deference, understanding he spoke not to you but the group surrounding you, now stepping from the cover of the trees. The group consisted of a few men and a woman, nothing overly threatening and you laughed in disbelief. This was the group meant to fight you off? The best Midgard had to offer? Thor was the exception, of course, and he wouldn't let anyone lay a finger on you.
"Thor," You mouthed over the storm as he rushed toward you. "Is Loki here?" It slipped as easy as the wind through the trees. Thor's lip twitched with the beginnings of a smile and he stepped aside, waving an open palm towards the treeline.
