The Peacekeeper of Asgard(Malekith/OC)

Chapter 10

Rebecca used the power of the time and space stone to travel back to Svartalfheim, three months after she left to go to Midgard. She then kept up the pretence that she thought Loki was still dead, as what she did was still in the future. And that she still wanted to travel still.

Malekith wasn't happy about it, but accepted it none the less. He could see that his wife was different, she wasn't mourning anymore. She was moving on. Little did he know of what she had done, of what she had accomplished, that she was currently the most powerful being in the universe.

Rebecca knew that she had to leave travel again soon before the bifrost was repaired and her family came to Svartalfheim.

She knew that her family will be worried for her and she has made sure that Heimdall won't see her anymore.

She wishes that she could tell Malekith that she had almost all of the infinity stones, but knowing him, he would want the power for himself.

My heart aches knowing that I can't tell him anything, she thinks to herself.

"When are you leaving again?" Malekith asks.

"Soon, "she responds.

"Why do you travel my wife? Your period of mourning is over. You can start anew. Stay here with me, with your kingdom," he tells her.

I might as well mention Thanos, a potential enemy to our worlds, she thinks.

"You are right husband. My time of mourning has passed. I travel now to gather intel...intel on a potential enemy for not only our realm but of all the nine realms", she tells him, her voice full of anger.

"Who is this enemy?" he asks, frowning at her.

"His name I will not mention yet, for fear that he will find out that I am searching for him."

Her husband looks offended, "Do you not trust me wife?!"

"I trust you husband, I don't trust these walls, for they might have ears", she replies diplomatically.

"I can assure you wife, we do not have any enemies within our kingdom," Malekith replies, worried that his wife might be correct.

"This enemy seeks what you have sought for millennia", she tells him, nearly whispering.

"The Aether", he responds.

She nods, "Not just the Aether. All of the infinity stones."

"He will not find them wife", he responds, thinking of how long he searched for the Aether and found nothing in the past five millennia.

If I haven't found it yet, then this enemy won't be able to, he thinks.

"He is a powerful enemy outside of the nine realms. In my travels I have seen the aftermath of the destruction he caused. He has not only conquered many worlds but have destroyed them as well", she replies.

He looks worried at his wife, "You've been out of the sight of Heimdall! You searched for an unknown enemy?!" he screeches out.

"No, I searched for intel on the enemy. He is a worthy opponent and is capable of not only taking on Svartalfheim but Asgard too", she says, her voice full of concern, "I seek only to protect us all. To keep the peace Malekith."

"I do not want you traveling anymore. I will send scouts. I refuse to put you in danger", he says.

"No! You will not. I've worked too hard on this. I will not send anyone out into the hands of the enemy. If he realizes that we know what he is up to, then we might all be damned".

Malekith's face turns red with anger, "You will not leave! Do you understand?!"

She gets into his face, "I will do as I please. Our worlds are at stake. I won't risk it."

He grabs both her upper arms with force, allowing little movement from her.

"You are my wife and the Queen of Svartalfheim, you will listen to me as your husband and king", he says in a deadly tone of voice that would make even his men quake in fear.

"I am doing this to protect us! All of us! You might be my husband but YOU ARE NOT MY KING! The All father still reigns supreme, and as the princess of Asgard, I have a duty to protect all of the nine realms within the bifrost. You cannot stop me from doing my duty!"

Malekith looks like he has just been slapped by her, feeling betrayed by her words.

"Then do as you like!" he pushes her away from him and leaves her alone, slamming the door.

He stands on the opposite side of the door, breathing heavily.

He can hear her crying.

Why is she crying?! She is the one who dares go against me! I've never felt so disrespected by her before, he thinks angrily, although his heart reaches out to her as he hears her anguish.

Rebecca felt terrible, she knew she had to hurt him to protect him. But how would she tell him everything that has happened? All the memories she received from her future self? She saw in her memories the power hunger her husband had when he found the Aether. She has to keep him safe; she has to keep her family safe.
