My Sweet Flame

Chapter 13. Welcome Home

(A/N: You go through this chapter with the same outfit from last chapter.)

I walked out to the docking bay at the back of the Temple where the Falcon was. I slung my bag over my shoulder and opened the bay door. There it was, my beautiful ship. And below it, near the ramp was none other than Obi Wan Kenobi.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"You didn't think you were going to leave without saying good-bye, did you?"

I laughed and hugged him, "I'm going to miss you, Obi Wan. I'll come back when I can. Do me a favor, Stay out of trouble while I'm gone, Will you?"

He held up his hands in surrender, "I wouldn't dream of it." He paused, "Good bye Old Friend. May the Force be With You."

"May the Force be With you." I responded.

I glided up the ramp and dropped my bag at the entrance of the cargo hold. I pushed a few buttons above the door of the cockpit as I walked in. I sat down and spun the pilot's chair around to face the control panel and the window. I smiled down at Obi Wan as I took off, and soon, Coruscant was far out of sight.

I sat in Hyperspace for almost a half hour before I came up on Asgard. I gasped,

"It's just like I remember!"

I passed the Bifrost and flew to the far side of Asgard where the Docking Bay was. As I landed the ship and began shutting the power down, I noticed two figures entering the bay. A tall, incredibly muscular man with long blonde hair, armor, and a flowing candy-apple colored cape, and a shorter, but still quite tall man with definite muscle, (enough to make him look strong, but not big, in the way the other one looked) raven-black hair, and a flowing forest-green cape. Hold On Forever began playing (Rob Thomas) from the ship's speakers (He's singing, not you). I stood at the top of the ramp and opened it, hoping for a dramatic entrance. Fog billowed out from the inside of the ship, floated down the ramp, and pooled beneath it.

Another night and here we are again. All our faults laid out ahead. Let it out, then let it right back in. All those voices in your head.

The smoke cleared, and I could see them clearly. Grown men who had finally taken on responsibility.

And we both know everything, But we can't learn to leave.

I made eye contact with Thor first, then Loki. I could tell what they were thinking. "Wow." Because let's face it, between the purple tips and the outfit, I looked stunning. I took a step down the ramp, then another, then another. Within seconds I was at the bottom of the ramp.

So I'll tell you what you need.

Thor and Loki exchanged a quick glance at each other before bolting towards me. I began to run towards them.

First thing, we'll make you feel better. Next stop, we'll pull it all together.

Loki was slightly faster than Thor, so I crashed into him first. We spun in a circle from my blow. Oh my god, I thought, He smells amazing!!! Peppermint and Cologne? Umm, Yes!!!

I'll keep you warm like a sweater. Take my hand, Hold on forever. Just fall apart if you need to. I'm here and I won't leave you now. 

I finally broke away from Loki and pulled my arms up to hug Thor. I can't even wrap my arms completely around him because he's gotten so buff....

Don't look down. Hold on Forever.

I waved my hand, and the music stopped. I hugged them both at the same time.
