It Was Always You (Universe 163,729)

Chapter 11

Thor kept walking through the trees, the sun blinding him. The temperature had warmed to a solid 10 degrees Fahrenheit. His breath hung in the air as he paced the mountain. This is worse than Jotunheim. He shivered, but kept walking. It took Thor a whole three hours to get over the mountain, and to the nearest village. It was small, but over the horizon he could see Alaska. He kept walking and made it to the Arctic Ocean. He prepared himself for the freezing temperatures, and jumped in.

The water hit him, and he started to shiver. He forced himself to keep going. As he swam the last mile, Thor could see the sunset. It was beautiful. A blend of oranges and yellows. He finally reached land, and collapsed on the dirt. The last thing he saw was a peach sky before he passed out from exhaustion.

Carol had finally got over the news, but she was still curious about the second person. Who was it? She wanted to know. It was bugging her. She grabbed her laptop, and started to do research.

"You look busy."

"Yup, so go away please."

"What are you searching for?"

"The second person that was apparently with Yon Rogg."

"Have fun with that. Also Shuri wanted to know if you wanted to join her in Wakanda."

"I could, I don't have anything else to do."

Carol got up from her chair, and went to find Shuri. She was talking to T'Challa, while annoying him with her pop culture references.

"Can I please get a waffle?"

"Shuri, stoooop!"

"Patricia!!! I'm going to need you to try a little harder sweetie."

T'Challa was about two seconds from killing her when Carol came to the rescue. She walked onto the plane waiting to leave.

"You look annoyed."

"When you have Shuri as a sibling, you will be."

"Sounds like Peter. He would be best friends with her."

T'Challa smiled and joined Shuri in the front. Carol was left to think about her day. They were about to go over Nigeria when T'Challa stopped the plane. He put on his Black Panther suit and jumped. Carol was confused and asked Shuri what it was.

"Another tribe trying to take land."

"Okay, is that normal for you guys?"

Shuri ignored her, while Carol watched T'Challa take down five guys at once. It was entertaining. After about an hour, he came back exhausted. He motioned for Shuri to continue the flight route. The sound of drums made Carol loose her focus. They had finally made it to Wakanda, and there was a huge celebration. She watched as fireworks were lit off. The colors danced in the sky.

A splash of water hitting Thor made him jump. He wiped it off, and looked around. He saw nothing. He thought nothing of it, but decided to continue his journey. Within a few hours he had finally made it to Oregon. Thor tried to avoid people, not wanting attention drawn to him. He wanted to stop walking but he wanted to get to Carol as soon as possible.

It had been months since he saw her face. It was killing him. It was only three in the afternoon, when he decided to stop for food. With most of his remaining money he bought a sandwich. It had been about a year since he had good food. Thor finished his sandwich and decided he would take a bus to New York. It was going to be a long way there. And a couple days.
