Another Asgardian

Chapter Twenty Eight

Ellesmere's POV

The silence in the room was deafening. Wanda stared at the hole in the ground with Mjolnir carefully settled in the middle of the crack.

"What on earth happened here? "She asked, her German accent unmistakable in her tone. She kept looking from Peter to me expecting an answer but we both kept utterly silent.

"How did this get here? "She asked again going to stand next to Peter. The crack demarcated them from me.

She turned her lingering gaze to Peter. He swallowed hard. I raised a warning brow at him signalling him to keep shut about it.

My heart pounded in my chest. If the room had been any quieter, the pounding would have been likened to the music in a disco hall. My palms itched badly, I wanted to hold Mjolnir again. I tucked my hands quietly around my waist.

"Nothing. We don't know what happened. The hammer flew out of its case and. . .just landed on the floor like that. "Peter explained relaxing as he did. He didn't want to look suspicious. I mean, Wanda could read minds but I made sure to block Peter's so she couldn't get in.

Her gaze turned to me. I nodded in support of what Peter had said. I prayed she was half as gullible as I thought.

"Then why do you look so shocked and extremely quiet when I came in? "She asked. She was pushing it. Definitely not as gullible.

"Are you kidding? That hammer could kill someone with just one hit. It's not normal that it just flew out of its case. Anyone in our place would be shocked. Especially since Thor's not here. "I said wiping the nervousness off my tone.

She stared at us for a while. Her stare wasn't as threatening as Natasha's no matter how hard she tried to make it, not even close. Natasha's stare could skin a live crocodile. She finally took a deep breath, I guessed she bought the story.

"Okay. I'll call Vision and tell him about this. You can both leave now. "

I raised my eyebrows. Was the witch ordering me? .

Peter walked up to me and pulled my arm slowly even though his face was still cramped up in shock. I almost forgot he saw me lift Mjolnir.

We walked silently out of the room. As soon as we got to the elevator, he looked at me with a lot of questions in his face, it was practically written all over him.

I pushed the button for the fourth floor and folded my arms in front of me. The itching had stopped the minute I'd walked out of the room.

"How did you do it? " Was all he said without looking at me. But I know Parker, he gets easily excited about stuff. I bet he was screaming like a teenage girl who sat next to her crush in class on his inside.

I breathed deeply, racking my brain for a lie to tell but I knew I wasn't getting away that easy.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened. I strolled out leisurely then turned sharply halting a surprised Peter.

"can you keep a secret? "I asked. He looked undecided, I raised a brow. He fidgeted under my hard gaze. "Not just any secret, Peter. You have to keep quiet about what you saw today. You can't tell anyone not even Thor. "

"Okay but you gotta tell me what's going on and who the hell you are? "He straightened up looking me dead in the eye.

I made to open my mouth to speak then thought of something. Tony's AI system was active, Friday could possibly record whatever I was going to say and replay it to her boss. The mouth on that bitch!! .

"We have to go somewhere else. Talking around here isn't safe. " I said pulling him this time.

We got into Jane's Ford and drove off. The restaurant we stopped at was new, named "The Under Nutter". There weren't many people and I appreciated that. I checked my watch. It was 8:29pm so we still had time till everyone came back to the Tower.
