Among The Stars ✰ Thor Odinson

Milena was beginning to lose hope. Weeks, possibly even months had gone by and any attempt to try to convince the Grandmaster to let her roam Sakaar failed. She felt like Rapunzel, trapped in her tower. Only this one was made of junk and creatures she couldn't even begin to described lived within its walls. Her hair even grew quite a bit. The Grandmaster always told her that she was "too precious, and fragile to leave" or that "it's so much better inside the palace." She felt like an experiment again.

Milena so badly wanted to punch his smug smile off of his face and run off, but she knew that she'd be hunted down and killed within an hour. At least if she was on her own. But Milena had no one that could possibly help her. The Hulk and even Loki loved it on this hell of a planet. Milena wouldn't even know what to do if she escaped, she had no concrete understanding of where she was and she didn't know where she would go. She had no objective, no mission.

Milena rolled in her bed and felt her heart clench. Missions were all she knew. Ever since she became a SHIELD agent she finally had a meaningful purpose in life. To complete missions for the better of the world. That was what drove her forward in life. Even after leaving SHIELD to travel with Thor, she thought of it as a large mission. The objective? Keep each other safe. Stay alive. Enjoy the cosmos. Now Milena didn't even know if this 'mission' was a successful one.

The only thing keeping Milena going was the possibility, the tiny sliver of a chance that Thor was alive and that he was searching every corner of the universe to find Milena. But even she didn't know if that would be possible anymore. Loki told her that he too was thrown out of the video at before he could see what happened. But by the way he talked, she could tell that he didn't believe that Thor would have been able to make it against their sister.

A knocking at her door kept Milena's thoughts from getting any darker. Then entered the maids.

"Good Morning Princess." A maid said in her otherworldly accent.

Milena held back an annoyed groan and sat up in her bed, she smiled sweetly at the maid. Any wrong impression on the maids and she could get killed. The only time she could act as herself was when she was by herself, or if she was alone with Hulk or Loki.

Milena went through the same routine she was forced through every morning. Bathe. Change. Makeup and Hair.

And without fail. Every morning for the past two weeks. Loki enters Milena's room while the maids are in the middle of doing her hair and Makeup.

"Good Morning my love!" he exclaimed exuberantly. With a shit-eating grin plastered across his face.

Like always, it took all the power within Milena to not noticeably cringe or roll her eyes at Loki's act. WIthout even letting her know, Loki somehow managed to convince the Grandmaster that they were deeply in love so that Loki could have all the access and privileges that Milena had. The Grandmaster even talked about introducing the "Royal couple" to the population of Sakaar and even hinted at a wedding. Milena nearly gagged at the thought. Luckily, he didn't push for them to share a room.
