Thor stared out over Asgard, bracing himself on the balcony beam. In the distance he can see a tiny gold figure upon the bridge. Hemidall. He wants to talk to him, about her, to see how she is doing. Being guardian of the worlds he has the ability to see all. Yet Thor doesn't move; he knows what he will hear. It will only upset him more knowing he cannot visit her, not yet anyway. He turned to go back into the bedroom tossing his robe aside and climbing back into the bed. Thor lay on his bed thinking of her, wondering if she was thinking of him. Although many Asgardian women made their affections for him know, since his return he didn't care. She was all he wanted. To get to know her more, spend time with her more, kiss her more. Oh yes he would like to do a lot of that and more. His brain was starting to fog over, remembering how she felt when he pulled her against him. Thor needed to sleep but couldn't, seeing how tomorrow was going to be a big day. He would return to her, one way or another.
Jane leaned back in her lounge chair looking up in the sky. It has been almost a year since she accidentally hit him with her car that first night. Researching for so long, about to have all the answers she was looking for, but he was gone. Back to Asgard, beamed up in what he called the bifrost when he yelled to Hemidall. 'Was that his name?' she thought, she wasn't sure now that it was so long ago and she was worried from the attack just moments before. Although he only stayed for a short time she felt so connected to him. She was pretty sure he felt the same way when they kissed before he left. She cared for him, really liked him, and he wasn't a bad kisser in that 'Godly' body. She missed him so much it hurt. He said he would come back for her, gave his word even. Maybe a year on earth was different from Asgard. Jane wondered what happened that day, the day he left. It caused a storm that in any other mind would seem very strange. She knew that something went wrong up the realms above her. She didn't want to think of that now, she just wanted to relax. Closing her eyes the stars, hoping he would leave her mind. He didn't and all she thought of was that kiss. It was short but filled with so much passion and promises that didn't happen. She sighed and just played out different scenarios on what would have happened. Jane pulled the blanket that was on her lap tighter and soon fell asleep.
Thor awoke with a loud roar, jolting up fast he tried to get his bearings. It was the same dream he'd been having for some weeks now, of course it was about Jane. Not in the good type of dream though, he had dreamt she moved on, that she was with another man. Always the same dream, or rather nightmare to him, a dark, unkind nightmare. A faceless person would be holding her hand, have it on her hip, on her shoulder, either way he was touching his woman. He shook himself trying to think positive thoughts, the only reason he met her was because he was a foolish boy. Because of his banishment Thor was a good man and was soon going to sit on his father's throne. He got up out of bed and dressed in his leather, metal and trademark bright red cape and grabbing his hammer he fled the bedroom in a flash. (hehe flash of lighting) Making his way to the throne room Thor entered and sank down to one knee in front of his parents. He knew it would be difficult to ask and hoped they would understand how much Jane meant to him. His father told him to stand after Thor spoke his pleasantries as any subject of Asgard would. Odin's voice rang loud and clear, booming within the giant room.
"Thor, my son, what brings you here in such a rush?"
"Father, if I may ask a difficult favor from you? I cannot live another day without Jane, I must see her and claim her before another mortal does. I care very deeply for her and I feel she feels the same of me. So the favor i ask from you is, would you please send me back to Earth in Midgard?"
His father closed his eyes and held the bridge of his nose deep in thought. Soon his father spoke and only then did Thor let out the breath he didn't realized he was holding.
"If I did send you, you would be very weak and your power would have little effect even with the hammer. How would you plan on returning home? Would you bring this Midgardian Jane back with you?"
"I understand. And yes father I would very much like to bring Jane back to Asgard. I wish to stay for some time before I plan our return. If Hemidall watches I'm sure he would relay my message of returning, thus you would bring us back without the bifrost."
Odin had a thoughtful look and turned to face his queen to see how he should proceed. She gave a nod of approval and smiled at Thor, telling him that she loves him and wishes him the best while in Midgard.
"Then it's settled, I shall send you to Midgard, to Earth. You will notify Hemidall when you wish to return."
Odin rose from the throne and walked down the few steps to Thor and embraced him tightly. Thor's mother did the same, a tiny tear escaped the corner of her eye and he wiped it away with the brush of his thumb.
"I love you son and good luck, may the stars guide you safely to her."
With that Odin tapped his magic scepter and lifted it high causing a rift in the air around them. Thor smiled and gave a 'thank you' look and jumped into the swirling bright hole in the room.
