After going to the library to return my book to its shelf, I went to find the Warriors Three. Luckily, I found them rather quickly. I opened the doors to see Fandral and Volstagg arguing.

"Stop it! Both of You!" I walked over to them as Sif and Hogun pulled them apart.

"We all know what we have to do." Sif spoke softly.

"We must go." Hogun began, "We must find Thor."

"It's treason." Fandral told us.

"To Hell with treason." I said. The four warriors looked at me in surprise,

"You would let us go?" Sif asked. I nodded to her.

"Thor is my friend as well. I understand your intentions. If Thor returns, it means he has once again become worthy of Mjolnir. He must become selfless."

"It's suicide." Volstagg finished for me.

"Thor would do the same for us." Sif said.

"Oh, Shush." Volstagg told her. "Heimdall might be watching."

The golden doors opened behind me. As I turned, a guard appeared at the doorway, and He bowed his head upon seeing me.

"Heimdall demands your presence."

"We're doomed."

The warriors walked past me and went to the Gatekeeper. I turned to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Treason against my own Fiancé. I can't believe I'm doing this."

I turned and began making my way down to the Bifrost. As I approached, the Warriors entered it. Heimdall looked up at me as he pulled the sword from the Bifrost.

"I'm going with them. I cannot let them do this alone."

"So be it."

He handed the sword to me and stood by the entrance as I plunged the sword into its place. I entered the Bifrost, changing to Midgardian clothes as I went.

As my feet hit the dusty ground and the smoke cleared, I saw that Sif and the Warriors Three were far ahead of me

As my feet hit the dusty ground and the smoke cleared, I saw that Sif and the Warriors Three were far ahead of me. I broke into a steady run, not very fast, but still better than walking. I slowed to a casual walk as I entered the town. The warriors received a great many of stares as they pressed their faces and hands against the glass doors of a building.

"Found you!" They exclaimed as they opened the doors. The glass doors shut behind them. I rolled my eyes, but I could hear Thor's voice. I approached slowly, not wanting to interrupt their conversation.

As I approached, I used the Force and the doors slowly opened at my approach. Everyone turned to me. Sif and the Warriors Three kneeled quickly,

"My Queen." Sif said.

I nodded to them and turned to Thor as his Midgardian friends looked on in either awe or confusion. There was an older man, and two women.

"Queen?" He bowed his head in respect and smiled as he noticed the engagement ring on my finger, "What are you doing here Y/N?"

"I came to warn you." I glanced over at the warriors, now standing, "As they probably told you, Odin isn't dead. He's just in the Odinsleep." Thor sighed in relief.

"But?"

"But after your exile, Odin fell into his Odinsleep and Loki became king, and then he took me as his queen." I took a deep breath. "Thor....he...." I sighed, "He means to kill you. He wants to be sure that you don't return."

Thor turned to the door and I grabbed his arm, "Which is why it is mandatory that you DO return. Thor, listen to me. Loki has forbidden us from seeing you, and warning you."

"And you committed treason against your own fiancé?"

"Yes. Against my better judgement." I laughed. "Look, he-"

My voice stopped as I saw a cloud coming down towards the ground on the outskirts of the city where I had come. All of us went to the open doors. Something came through the Bifrost and hit the ground.

"Was somebody else coming?" One of the women with us muttered.

Our group slowly walked out of the building and into the street, me leading it. Fire and destruction rose up from the site of the Bifrost.

"The Destroyer." I breathed.

"Jane, you have to leave." Thor turned to the other woman.

"What are you gonna do?" Jane asked him concerned.

"I'm staying here." He told her.

"Thor's gonna fight with us!" Volstagg exclaimed.

Thor walked over to us, "My friends, I am just a man; I'll only be in the way, or worse get one of you killed, but I can help get these people to safety."

Jane stepped towards him, "Well if you're staying then so am I."

Thor stepped past us, "Give us some time."

"You will have it!" Fandral assured him.

Thor and Jane passed me as the warriors took off towards the Destroyer and his Midgardian friends began evacuating the people.

"Y/N, Do not fight with them!"

"Why not!"

"If we make it out of this alive, then Loki will personally kill me for having you fight!"

"Exactly my point. He wouldn't hurt me. Thor, he controls the Destroyer. I can buy you time."

Thor scoffed, "Fine! Just don't get hurt!"

"Have I ever let you down before?"

He smiled at my cocky confidence, "No."

I turned and changed into the armor I'd always used just as the Destroyer rotated all of its joints to face Sif, who was perched on its back....or front I guess. She rolled off of it just as it shot a beam of fire and stood. The four warriors ran away from it just as it shot another beam, destroying several buildings and quite a bit of the street. The Warriors were knocked through the glass of a café as Thor shouted to his friends in horror.

"Go. Now. Run!"

They did as he said, and he made his way into the street as the Destroyer further devastated the café.

I walked down the center of the street.

"Loki!" I yelled, "Please! Stop this!" I walked closer to it. This is a terrible idea. The Destroyer bent down to me as I came closer. I was maybe five feet from it. "Please! I love you! Don't do this! These are innocent-"

The Destroyer knocked me to the side like a rag doll. I flew through the air, flying through a building and landing on the ground. I laid there on my back for a minute, unable to breath. Within moments, I lost consciousness.
