The Bad Hero

ch. 8

Three months had gone by, three whole months and nothing had happen. My days usually consisted of training eating and beating Loki at video games. Training with Loki was always my favorite part of my day because he would multiply and i would have to try and find the original and if I did I would be rewarded with a kiss. We were "public" now I guess you could say and it was great. Loki had some pretty amazing superpowers besides just multiplying, he could shape shift into different animals, let me tell you he is one sexy wolf. He could also become invisible which he often used to scare me and he was often rewarded with a jab in the stomach. Sometimes we could go above ground and we would look at the stars and he would explain to me how the nine realms worked and all the different planets he had been to. I often times did not understand what he was talking about, but I liked to listen to him. 

One night we were laying under the stars and he was telling me about some planet Odin had taken him and Thor to. He couldn't remember the name, but he was tlking about people there that had two hearts, but on the outside they looked like humans. He said they had special machines that allowed them to travel through time. This reminded me of one of my favorite TV shows, so jokingly I threw out the name Gallifrey. He stopped talking and gave me a weird look. 

"Yes that's it, that's the name, but how did you know that?" 

"Wait are you serious?" I asked excitedly sitting up next to him.

"Yes it was a marvelous place, but it was destroyed a long time ago." 

"I know." I said hardly able to contain myself.

"Hmm maybe humans know more than I thought."

"Oh honey you don't even know." I said giving him a wink and laying back down unable to wipe the smile off my face. 

One day we were training Loki was a raven and we were racing each other outside. Thor was taking to the rest of the gang when suddenly there was a rumpling noise. I went to land and Loki followed me in suit. He transformed and grabbed my hand. Thor gave his brother a weird look, and then suddenly a huge beam of light shined down on Thor and the rest of the avengers and then it was gone leaving nothing but some weird little designs in the ground. 

"Oh no" Loki whispered.

"What?" I asked confused. Instead of answering me he grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him, gripping my hand tight. Suddenly it felt as if I was being ripped apart, but at the same time it tickled. It kinda felt like my foot was asleep, but instead it was my whole body. I looked around and saw so many different colors it felt like I was swimming through a rainbow. It was beautiful. 

Then it all ended and I was hurled out of Loki's's grip and landed in somebody else's arms. I  opened my eyes slowly and found myself looking up into Steve's face. I smiled and whispered a thank you and he gave me a small nod setting me down gently. 

Loki ran over to me and grabbed my face in his hand. "Are you okay?" he asked inspecting my body," How do you feel?" 

"Yeah I'm fine that was amazing actually. Where are we?" I asked looking around the huge golden globe-like room we were in. 

"You are in Asguard." A deep voice answered behind me. I turned around and saw a huge man behind me. He had beautiful golden armor, and a golden helmet that looked extremely heavy. He was at least 6'4 and was totally ripped. But his best feature was his golden eyes, they were soft and warm, inviting. I smiled at him and he smiled and nodded back. 

"And who are you? I have seen everyone else here but you are different."

"My name is Alice, I'm here to help. And who might I ask are you?" 

"My name is Heimdall I watch over the nine realms and see all." 

"It is a pleasure to meet you,"I wasn't sure what to do so I just went the old human fashion and stuck out my hand. 

He grabbed my hand and placed it gently to his lips giving me a silent nod. 

"Heimdall, why have you brought us here?" Thor asked.

"It is your father, he wants to speak wit you. All of you." we all looked at each other and then back at Heimdall "There are horses waiting, except we are one short, I was unaware of our extra friend, my apologies." 

"Oh no please it is not a problem I don't need a horse anyways." I released my wings and flapped them letting them air out. Heimdall took a step back with a look of bewilderment and amazement. I gave him a smile and turned to Steve. 

this was our new little thing we had, if I did not have any earth to bend in order to help me into the air I would ask him to give me a little boost. It was convenient that we were all in uniform and he had his shield, because it was much easier stepping off that instead of his bare hands. 

He got in position and gave me a nod letting me know he was ready . I ran towards him and he launched me upward, giving me enough room to flap my wings a couple times and get myself in the air. I flew out the large door and treded air waiting for everyone to mount. The horses seemed normal in every way, except they had eight legs... But hey this is Asguard why not? As Loki mounted his horse he looked up at me and gave me a smile. the next thing I knew we where on our way down the rainbow bridge.
