Altered - A Marvel AU

Chapter 28 - Asguard

Megan's POV

I woke up in an incredibly soft bead, I vaguely remembered an event happening last night, but I couldn't remember anything else. My head was pounding hard and killing me, I clutched it and I noticed that my body was physically drained as well. "Ugh, what the hell happened?" "Well that word isn't very ladylike." A woman with a smooth british accent spoke out, I looked to my side to see a beautiful woman, probably in her mid-forties. She wringed a cloth, the water falling into a basin, she placed the cool cloth on my forehead. I noticed her sparkling attire and blond hair and I was able to place the resemblance, "Queen Frigga." I tried to bow but she stopped me, lying me back down onto the bed. "No need for that dear." Her fingers brushed against my cheek in a motherly way and I yearned for more motherly affection.

"My son seems to really like you as a friend, he brought you asking for help, seeing as your essence was burning up." I took in her words, trying to remember what happened yesterday, fireworks once again started to go off in my head as I grabbed it and let out a quiet scream of agony. "Oh dear, you really shouldn't try to remember what happened yesterday, we effectively managed to erase your memory." I bit my lip and heaved as the pain in my head alleviated a bit, "Why?" "Oh well, you were shown a vision-" My head once again started pounding and my vision turned red as tears blurred in my eyes, "Nevermind that. Not important." Frigga quickly said as she got out another cool cloth and placed in on my eyes.

"Sleep child." She said and I felt obligated to do so, even more once she started to sing.

Third Person (Omniscient Narrator)

Loki tried to sneak around the palace without anyone seeing him, after all, last time Thor and his dad saw him, he practically suicided. Everyone thought Loki was gone, dead, or perhaps exiled from the realm. Occasionally, Loki would sneak in to see what his brother was up to and whether or not he could thwart his brother's plans. He did want to see his mother though, because no matter the secrets she hid from him, she was still his mother and he still loved her.

He made his way into his mother's room and noticed a body turned away from him, sleeping on his mother's bed. The body didn't seem like his mothers, no, this woman was much more curved, her waist dipped in. Her long, black hair glittered red and brown in the sunlight that poured into the room. Loki quietly made his way to her, stopping once he heard her voice, "I know someone's sneaking on me, that someone better explain themselves quickly." Loki was shocked, his invisibility had always worked even on his father, who was this woman?

"Well?" She asked and Loki made himself present, "I'm terribly sorry, I was looking for my mother." The woman turned around and Loki caught his breath, she was gorgeous, with multi colored eyes and puffy, red lips her angry expression did nothing to hide her beauty. The woman narrowed her eyes and gasped as well, "You're Loki!" She said and Loki nodded, "But... How are you alive? Oh wait, of course you are. I mean, you're after the tesseract." The woman's eyes turned wide as she slapped a hand over her mouth. "How did you know that?" Loki asked the woman, suddenly suspicious of her abilities. "You can read minds?" He asked and the women sighed in relief, "Yeah, yeah that's it. I can read minds."

Loki narrowed his eyes, "How come I've never seen you before?" The woman shrugged, "I'm a friend of Thor's. I needed help so he brought me here." Loki growled, typical that his brother had all the beautiful lady "friends". "Well, pleased to make your acquaintance." Loki said and started towards the door, "Don't worry, I won't tell your brother or mom or dad." The woman spoke and Loki looked at her, tilting his head to one side, "And, why wouldn't you?" The woman smiled, "Don't you worry about that." Loki felt inclined to this woman and her personality, "Are you a goddess?" He asked and the woman nodded.
