Hey, everybody! If you have read my stories, then you know that I try really hard to impress you guys with my mad writing skills. If not, then I hope you like this fanfic of Thor. My Love For Mischief is this idea I had from this dream I had: a girl who is a daughter of on of the gods(Sif) and is named after the Roman goddess of the moon while her codename at SHIELD is the Greek version. She discovers that not only is she part Norse god, but also part Jotun(remind you of somebody?). This Halfling falls in love with Loki and has to stay on neutral ground to avoid fighting him. Diana aka Artemis is that girl who must make choices that may not only save the world, but also keep her feelings for Loki as well.

I dropped my duffel bag onto my bed before going over to my desk and turning on my laptop. While doing this, I looked at the vanity mirror behind me and saw my reflection: my long, straight, dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, my multicolor eyes looked dull and wary from my mission, my face still holds its mysterious beauty even when it's a bit red from cold, my slender yet fit body looked exhausted from the hiking and scavenging I did, and my uniform looks like it has seen better days. Fury owes me vacation time, big time! Oh, did I forget to mention that I'm an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D.? My name is Diana, but the codename I go by is Artemis. Do you see the irony? Diane/Diana is the Roman name for the Greek moon goddess Artemis, a hunter with magnificent beauty. That's the reputation I have amongst everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D. like my best friends do, who by the way I'm trying to have a video call with.
The video screen popped up and showed two familiar faces: Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov. They saw me and smiled causing me to smile back. Hawkeye and Black Widow are my best friends and mentors since Director Nick Fury recruited me when I was 16. Let's just say there was a huge fight with some super villains that S.H.I.E.L.D. was monitoring and I happened to help these two assassins kick evil ass. Fury offered me the job and I was working for him and the government ever since.
"Guess who just got back from the Artic?" I asked them with a smile.
"Good to see you're alive, D." Clint told her. "Natasha and I heard that you had a little mishap up north. Are you okay?"
I grimaced at the mention of my near death experience. "Honestly, I don't know how I am still alive."
"What happened, sweetie?" Natasha asked. "You know you could talk to us."
Sighing, I told my fellow agents what had transpired not too long ago. "I was sent out to the Artic with a dispatch team to check out some transmitter signal that was being broadcast from there. We get there and see a ship, a high tech one that is close to resembling a space ship, was peeping through the ice. The team and I managed to bust open the hull and get inside, but while doing that one the dumbasses hit a wrong spot and I managed to save him from being captured by the frigid water. Yet I was the one who fell in. It was so cold and I tried to find the hole that I fell through, but it frozen over already. I noticed my skin turning blue and I thought the worse is happening to me, but I was still alive and the cold seemed to have less of an effect on me. Then, I felt a surge of strength and my hands were glowing. Next thing I knew, I had blasted my way into the ship and was in the cockpit when the others found me. According to them, I was glowing a dim light and half my body was blue with one eye red. Nobody else knows of this except for me and the two agents who found me."
Clint and Natasha looked at each other, then looked back at me. "Your secret is safe with us, Diana." Natasha tells me.
"Yeah, but what I want to know is what did you guys find?" Clint asked with interest and curiosity in his eyes.
"You are not going to believe this," I informed both him and Natasha. "but we found-"
"DIANA!" I cringed at the tone that my adopted father called me in. "There is someone here for you. Probably one of those freaks you call friends." Yeah, I was adopted as a baby by a couple who wanted a child to be just like them. Too bad that didn't work out because since I was growing up I had to take every form of abuse from my "parents". "Diana, get your ass out here now!"
I groaned in frustration and looked at the angry faces of my friends. "Sorry, guys, but I have to check on my parents before they have a conniption."
"We will still be here." Natasha promised me. "Hurry before they come and find you."
Didn't need telling twice and was out of my room, speed walking through the hallway towards the front door. My "parents" were talking to someone on the other side of the doorway and as I approached I got a good look at our visitor. The woman was a couple inches taller than I and looked amazingly beautiful. She was young, but her eyes looked old. Her outfit was like the ones you see when female Vikings go to war. What really caught my attention was how her hair long, straight, dark brown and her facial structure looked exactly like me. The woman looked at me and smiled. At that moment, I knew who that woman was and recognize her armor from the Norse mythology.
"Lady Sif of Asgard." I bowed to her before looking up at her with a smile on my face. "My mother, I assume."
She laughed as I stood up, and then pulled me into a hug. "My dearest daughter, I have finally found you!"
I looked at her. "What do you mean 'finally found you'? Didn't you leave me in an orphanage as a baby?'
Sif shook her head. I hugged her once more and that's when I realized that there she was here for a reason. "Are you here to take me home for a while? Am I going to leave with you for Asgard?" Sif nodded. "Give me five minutes to get ready. I just need to repack my bag and let my bosses know that I will be gone for a couple of months." With that I ran back to my room and closed my door before running to my laptop.
Clint and Natasha noticed my excitement. "What happened that made you all excited?" Natasha asked, beating Clint to the punch.
I didn't answer immediately because I was unpacking my duffle bag my dirty clothes, then was running to my closet and drawers to gather fresh, clean clothes for my return home. Return to Asgard.
"My biological mom is here and I'm going with her to meet the rest of my family." I filled in my best friends. "I will tell you what is going on when I get back in a few months. Just tell Fury that I am on my way to find answers to my life. Won't be in touch for a while so I hope you guys could cover for me."
"You think we can't?" Clint pretended to look hurt, but that only made Natasha and I laugh. "D, you know you can count on us. Go with your mom, you deserve answers."
"We have your back, Artemis. Go!" Natasha urged me to leave.
I smiled at my friends and heaved my duffle over my shoulder. "Thanks, Hawkeye. Thanks, Black Widow." I walked back to my laptop and prepared to turn it off. "May good fortune watch over you and the moon to light your way." Pressing a button, the video call was terminated and the laptop shut down. I stowed it in my bag and walked out of my room.
In the hallway, my adopted parent blocked my path. "Excuse me, may I get through?" I asked politely while I really want to barge through their barricade.
My 'mother' glared at me. "If you go with that woman, then you are no longer welcomed back into this household."
My 'father' nodded. "This is going against our wishes for giving you a life you always wanted. First, it was working for the government, but not telling us what you do. Now, this!"
"First off, the life I supposedly want is a life you want me to have, forcing me to live it." I argued feeling my frustration bursting. "Second, I can't tell you what I do for I was ordered by my superior not to, so stop drilling me for answers. Finally, I am going with my true mother, Sif, the greatest female warrior goddess in Norse mythology, to the Eternal Realm to meet my family. So don't bother stopping me!" I pushed pass them and stomped towards the front door.
I exited and slammed the door shut behind me. Sif, my powerful mother Sif, was waiting for me and I approached her. "So, how are we going to enter the Bifrost?" I asked innocently.
"Follow me!" she said with a smile and I practically had to run after her to keep up as she strode into the center of my adopted parent's front lawn. There were markings that weren't there earlier and I knew that this was our way home. Home to Asgard… at last! "Heimdall, open the Bifrost and let us through." Sif called to the heavens to inform the Gatekeeper that we were ready.
As the clouds began to swirl above us, I absorbed my surroundings for one last time. There was a possibility that I will never come back once my trip to Asgard is over.
"Goodbye, my personal hell." I said loudly. "Hello, reality!" A rainbow beam shot down, taking Sif and I.
A/N: Wonder how everybody on Asgard is going to react at her arrival? If you would like to know, then review saying you do!
