Prologue:

Everyone has their own stories about themselves, who they are, where they come from, what they do in life, their family and... Well... you get the picture. But this story isn't about them, or anyone else for that matter, but me.

My name is Ashton Clark. I am 22 years old and I live in New York City. I work as a news reporter for The New York Times. I have only lived here for 18 months, but before that...and this may shock you a bit...I lived on Asgard. Yeah, that's right, you heard me.

Not many people have heard of me in Midgard, but I am actually the youngest child of King Odin and Queen Frigga. My Asgardian name is Runa; the Goddess of Elements, but on Midgard nobody knows me by that name. My brothers Thor and Loki were the best brothers I could have ever asked for whilst growing up. Even though I look 22 now, I'm far from that, for I am immortal.

Whilst growing up, I was closest to Loki, then anyone else was, we may as well have been attached at the hip, with all the mischief we caused as kids. We were the best of friends forever, and I thought that would never change, oh how naïve I was.

It started when Loki found out his true heritage. I had known all along but was too afraid to say anything for things would change between us, that I would lose my best friend. So when Loki came to me to tell me he found out, my lack of reaction was all he needed to realise I already knew. We had the worst fight ever and that was where everything changed. Loki left Asgard. He left his family, his friends, he left...me.

Not long after that Thor was sent away. I haven't seen my brothers for such a long time, that when I saw my chance to leave to go after them, I seized it. Now 18 months later I have found Thor. He works with this group of heroes known as The Avengers. I watch over him closely, however he has no idea that I am even on Midgard, and for now I am planning to keep it that way.

When The Avengers are off fighting the big shots, I use my Asgardian powers and become Runa a heroine, and I keep the streets safe from petty crimes, but one day I will fight alongside my brother Thor once more. You maybe be wondering why I use my Asgardian name for my hero identity, after all, Thor might recognise the name, well I'm hoping he does. When that time comes we can be re-united as siblings once more.

When I came to Midgard, I lost my immortality and will only gain it back when I find love. I have my eyes set on someone but right now I don't think it's possible.

You've heard about my past, now it's time for the rest of my story to become uncovered. I hope you enjoy…
