Another Asgardian

Chapter Thirty Six

Author's POV

Thor, Jane and Ellesmere stayed at Jane's apartment for a few days before leaving for New York. They made sure she was fully recovered first. Elles called Steve to inform him of their arrival. It was hard for Jane to say goodbye to her daughter and she gave Elles the longest hug almost squeezing the life out of her in the process.

"Mum? Mum? Mum, you're choking me!!" She said struggling to free herself from her mother's grip.

Thor chuckled, "Jane, I think you should let go of her, she won't be alive much longer if you keep hugging her like that! " Jane eventually let go.

"Mum? Can I ask you something? " Elles said going to stand next to Thor.

"Yeah, what is it? "

"How is it that six years ago I was ten years old and why did you take me to the Thurman Hospital? "

Jane smiled then sat down on her couch. Elles was quite amazed at how she reconstructed the place as if it hadn't been destroyed a few weeks ago. The house seemed new and exactly the same as before. Jane knew Elles loved breaking stuff especially when she wasn't going to pay for it so she didn't complain when she found her house almost completely collapsing to the ground.

"I really don't understand how that happened too. But all I know is, you weren't and still isn't a normal person. And I love you for that. And I took you there because, you wouldn't go to school and followed me to work everytime, you would always use your powers in the office, everyone was scared of you. Even in school. Dr Janice is a friend of mine, so I brought you to her hospital so she could have you stay at the children's quarters while I worked during the day. "

Elles nodded then turned to Thor. "And you, when will I be getting to see my grandpa and step uncle? "

Thor stared at her blankly, "Step uncle? "

"Don't blame me, I didn't know how to refer to Loki! "She said rolling her eyes, "Okay, adopted uncle then? "

Thor shook his head laughing quietly, "I don't think anyone would be seeing Loki for a while, even I have no idea where he is or what he's up to. Even though he's adopted, I see still see him as my blood. And as for Odin, well, he might be shocked to discover that he has a granddaughter but we'll make out time to visit him. "

"YES! "She yelled punching the air victoriously, "I could teach grandpa how to hula hoop. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh !!"

Jane and Thor laughed as Elles twirled around throwing her hands in the air gently. "I still have to teach Fury so gramps is gonna have to stand in line. "

"We really need to get going Jane. We'll come back and check up on you! "Thor said and for the first time, pulled her in for a kiss.

"Ewwwwwwwwww! "Elles said scrunching her face and covered her eyes with the back of her hand. "You gotta rub it in my face that I don't have a boyfriend, okay, note taken! I'll date Tony! "

"What??" Thor and Jane said in unison then looked at each other. "No, you don't! "Jane said coming to stand in front of her daughter wagging a warning finger in her face.

"Jeez, calm down, I was only joking. I'd date Steve instead. " Elles said laughing naughtily.

"He's 97 years old and you're just 23 " Jane said folding her arms across her chest.

Elles folded her arms too with her eyebrows raised, "Look who's talking, Thor's 300 years old and you're just 30. "

"Well, at least there's threes and zeros in both our ages! "Jane said in defeat going to sit back down.
