A/N This an old story that I have picked up again and have therefore gone over and changed/combined some parts of the story. I own none of the characters as they all belong to marvel!
The day had started miserably, rain-drops struck the glass of Jane's bedroom window violently. She didn't wake til the thunder crashed above her flat. Groping across the bed, her hand fumbled with her phone til the screen flashed brightly.
Crap. It's almost time!
Another flash of lightning at the window shook Jane from her thoughts and sent her tumbling towards the oak wardrobe against the wall.
Oh god, how embarrassing would it be if Thor turned up right now to find me half dressed …
Just the thought brought a cherry red blush to her cheeks and spurred Jane to launch clothes across the room in an effort to find what she was looking for. Three minutes later and her reflection in the hall mirror showed a young frazzled scientist. Her hair was bound together in a ponytail but retained its usual tight curls, a simple shirt and jeans had been her only choice.
Everything seemed so inappropriate compared to what she would experience in Asgard. Thor had painted an elaborate picture of feasts, banquets and balls where women presented themselves in their finest gowns, each of them was a goddess in her mind compared to how she looked.
It had been a week since Thor's promise to accompany her to Asgard and yet the wait had felt like an eternity. She was glad Shield had volunteered her for the position, to be able to visit Thor's home would help her understand him better and of course the knowledge to be gained was quite literally out of this world. The discoveries would be mind boggling, thinking of the progress human-kind would make caused her to fill with anticipation and the research would all be conducted by her alone.
A loud crash called her attention to the front door, Thor had obviously arrived and forgotten that the thin fragile wood of the door was no match for his abnormal strength. It was a recurring problem.
'Jane, I would like to apologize as I appear to have broken your door. Again.' he called out to her.
'Don't worry,' she called back trying to hide her chuckling. 'I'll ring Coulson and have him sort it out. I take it this storm is your doing?'
Walking over the door he approached her, 'No, you can thank your own weather for this storm. It's nothing to do with me.' He grinned back at her.
They arrived at the portal gate incident free thanks to Jane. She had started driving in her mid-teens and preferred it greatly to flying with Thor and had decided it was a lot safer. This would be the last time she drove anywhere in the next few months as Asgard didn't use the same technology as earth. The rain was still plummeting down and quickly soaked through Jane's clothes but simply bounced off Thor's armor. He led them to the middle of a bifrost portal circle before pulling her into him.
'Hold on tight,' he whispered next to her ear which caused the blood to rush to her face. 'Heimdall, we're ready when you are!' He called out almost as if talking to the sky.
A burst of light engulfed them. Jane couldn't believe her eyes as billions of stars surrounded her before blurring, they were traveling so quickly she couldn't truly process what was happening. Thor couldn't help but noticed the look of awe on her face as she gasped for breath. She was truly a unique and beautiful human to him.
All too soon they reached the end of the portal and stepped out into the warm sunlight. The observatory was a large domed building that seemed to block out everything but the rainbow bridge from view. Jane couldn't help but move forward to get a better look at what lay outside of the observatory but was instead engulfed by the shadow of a tall, pale young man with jet black hair.
'I see you've brought your ''pet'' home with you' he said spitting the words at Thor but glaring darkly down at Jane. He seemed to be genuinely disgusted by her presence.
'Why bring such an inferior being to our realm when it could never truly understand or comprehend our land.'
'Excuse me but human beings are in no way inferior to you! We may only live a short life span but the way we spend that time makes us unique and' Jane began trying to defend herself but couldn't help shrinking back from his over powering influence. She was deeply insulted by this but the man simply narrowed his eyes at her and gave her a look one would give a small insect under their boot.
'How dare you speak to me?! I am Loki, son of Odin, prince of Asgard and you will address me as such. You had best remember your place mortal, Asgard doesn't welcome your kind-'
'Back off Loki, insult Jane again and I will not forgive you.' Thors voice stern and showed no sign of joking around.
Odin walked slowly forwards from where he and Heimdall had been speaking.
'LOKI,' Odin's voice rang off the curved walls of the building. 'I think it best you return to the palace before you do any further damage.' And with that comment Loki vanished from view and Odin turned his gaze towards Jane.
'Welcome, Jane Foster of Midgard, to Asgard. Leader of the nine realms.'
