As soon as my feet hit the cold, hard ground of Jotunheim, I knew this wasn't going to go well. I took in the surrounding area of the barren wasteland, its ground permanently blue from the frosty climate.

"We shouldn't be here." Hogan warned.

"Let's move." Thor told us.

As our group progressed towards a structure that seemed to be a castle, Loki turned to me,

"Are you warm enough?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."

We stopped in front of the structure.

"Where are they?" Sif asked nervously.

"Hiding." Thor stated, "As cowards always do."

A deep, husky voice rang out in the silence.

"You have come a long way to die, Asgardians."

"I am Thor Odinson."

"We know who you are." The voice said. That must be Laufey, as I assume he still lives.

"How did your people get into Asgard?"

"The House of Odin is full of traitors." Laufey told him.

"Do not dishonor my Father's name with your lies!" Thor growled.

The Frost Giant stood, barely visible through an opening in the ice.

"Your Father is a murderer and a thief!" Laufey growled back at him, "And why have you come here? To make peace?" He mocked, "You long for battle." He taunted Thor, "You crave it. You are nothing but a boy, trying to prove himself a man."

"This boy, has grown tired of your mockery."

Frost Giants were now surrounding us, fully armed and ready to attack. Loki ran forward to Thor's side.

"Thor, stop and think. Look around you, we're outnumbered."

"Know your place, Brother." Thor growled at him.

"You know not what your actions will unleash, "Laufey told him, "But I do. Go now, While I still allow it."

A single Frost Giant walked up and stood before Thor as he glared up at him.

"We will accept your most Gracious offer." Loki told him. Thor looked down at his brother with disgust. Loki began to walk away, but Thor didn't follow. "Come on Brother." Thor finally turned.

"Run back home little princess." The Giant mocked.

"Damn." Loki said. I sighed softly.

Here we go.

Thor smiled and turned, sending the frost giant soaring through the air at such a rate that when he came down, he'd surely be dead.

"Next?"

Thor bashed another one, and I whipped my sabers out, taking immediate comfort in the warmth of the generated energy. I sliced through a giant, then another, then another. I stabbed a few more as I heard Thor mocking them.

"At least make it a challenge for me!"

You've got to be kidding me.

Loki tossed one of his daggers, breaking the giant's weapon, and surprising the one behind it. I threw one of my sabers towards them and continued to cut down the one in front of me. I turned in time to see the bodies fall as I called my saber back to me. Loki turned to me. I nodded my chin up,

"You're Welcome!"

I laughed and threw both of my sabers in a circle around me, killing two dozen, as I took six more out with my blaster. I shoved the blaster in its holster and called both sabers to my hands. I felt the wind of Mjolnir fly past my face. It stopped and flew back to Thor. I turned as I knocked another giant down,
