The sun was beaming through the edge that divided the eternal realm of Asgard and the rest of the universe. The glowing cosmos trickled into the waterfall that lead off the cliff,giving the illusion that the stars were melting into the water. Stunning, but a usual sight for the citizens who thrived there. Nothing but a common phenomenon for them.

"It kills me that you get to see this every night." Jane said with a small sigh as she leaned so far off the edge of the stone palace balcony that it seemed like she could fall off any second.

"You should see it in the morning." Thor replied with a small chuckle that echoed into something much louder than intended. Thor came and stood next to her,leaning not nearly as far on the balcony and rested his weight on his elbow. Jane smiled at his comment,wrapping her shawl around her tighter.

"You don't seem to amazed." She looked over at him,her smile still alive on her face. "I've lived here thousands of years Jane. I've grown accustomed to watching the stars glow through the night and the sun rise. No different from you and Midgard." He explained,staring off into the deep distance,taking in the full scale that was the universe. "Earth's night sky is much farther away though." She said in a small mumble.

A loud knock was heard coming from the chamber's doors. "I've got it." Thor said,leaving Jane. He strode over to the doors ,his boots making a light rhythm on the marble floors as he approached the door. Normally, there would have been a servant to open the door for the prince, but since Thor had requested for more privacy since Jane arrived on Asgard. "Yes?" Thor opened the door just enough so himself could be seen. It was his brother Loki. "Brother I'm a bit busy at the moment can it wait till tomorrow?" He asked,his brow perking up a little as he saw Loki was dressed in his armour and not his casual wear.

"Oh, I'm sorry brother, it can't." Loki still loathed it when Thor called him brother and at times like these he would show it. "You still deny the throne correct? For your mortal woman?" Loki questioned,picking his words carefully. "Well yes." Thor said with a small laugh and a large grin.

"Perfect. Guards, escort the Odinson to his new chambers." A grin formed on Loki's once blank,deadpan face. "Oh you are funny broth-" Thor was cut off,his smile disappearing after seeing the grin form on Loki's face.

Within less than a second the enormous wooden carved palace door to Thor's room was being mauled by guards. Thor pushed with all his might to keep the door shut,leaning against it with his back. "Jane!" Thor yelled across the room where stood Jane,whose face grew from wonder to shock and fear. Her hands began to go cold and clammy as she watched Thor push against the door twice his size against men whose hands now started to slip past the crack between the opening. She tried to shout back his name but her throat went dry from any words.

With a loud crash,the men had burst through Thor's self barricade. Thor was knocked to the ground,landing on his elbow that just moments before rested on the stone balcony,next to Jane. "You might want to bind him. He is a bit of a wild one." Loki taunted as he watched the sea of soldiers swam over his brother. He had not taken notice to Jane who stood just off in the balcony, still unable to say an audible word. "Loki what are you doing?!" Thor shouted as he felt his arms be pulled behind his back. The mighty Thor was strong, but no match for seven suited Asgardian soldiers without his hammer and without warning. "Father has fallen into the OdinSleep again. As you deny the throne,it is mine. I am simply making a few adjustments- ah-."Loki paused,now finally seeing Jane who stood ,wide eyed. "oh Thor you didn't tell me you had company. I would have set up a pretty little cell right next to yours. Oh, I'm sure something can be arranged." He gave a soft chuckle as he gestured to two of the guards to grab her now that Thor had been secured.

"No! No, getoff!" Jane finally spoke in a crackly voice,shaking the hands of the guard off her. She continued to shake her arms and make attempts to bolt to the other side of the room but all her attempts were futile. The guard wrapped his gloved fingers around her forearms and tugged her back into his chest ,keeping her still. She watched in horror and mixed aw as Thor's hands were chained together behind his back. It was the look he gave her that felt worse than the tightening grip on her arms. The look of desperation and helplessness as the men picked him up by his shirt's collar and dragged him out the door made her heart sink deep into the pits of her stomach. "Thor...Thor!" She called out to him. She could hear him screaming her name and aggressive pleas to the guards as he was being trugged down the marble hollow halls.

"I'm sorry Lady Jane,that you had to see that. But he would have committed treason sooner or later. I need to keep the people safe. As king of Asgard-" Loki was cut off, as Jane had shouted at him. A great mixture of insults and swearing in his direction spewed out of her mouth.

Loki paid no attention to it but simply made his way over to her ,gracefully and quietly. Jane's eyes filled with fear he came closer to her. Her yelps and screams decresendod as his face stayed calm. Loki raised a hand and slapped her straight across the face. The guards hadn't flinched but only tightened their grip on the scientist. "You,will not speak me to ever again like that. I am King of Asgard now and those words directed to the King the Nine Realms are punishable by beheading. Consider yourself very lucky Lady Jane. I will not be so kind next time." Loki spat in her face,leaning in and staring her down.

Jane tucked her head down,turtling in. Her breathing became shorter and faster. Jane had tried her best to hide her face and hide her fear but she was horrified. She was praying and hoping that she would wake up in Thor's bed soaked in cold sweat but she was not so lucky.

"Guards, would you be ever so kind to take Lady Jane down to dungeons. Thank you." He pulled himself up from her face and nodded at the guards ,who began dragging Jane by her arms. Her head dropped. She didn't bother to struggle right now. Her face still stung from when he struck her and she wasn't wanting another smack. She stayed quiet as the guards carried her out of Thor's room and through the gleaming golden halls which had dimmed from complete darkness that now lay outside.

"Lady Jane I am truly sorry about your disposition." The guard on the right mumbled to her when they were a safe distance from Loki. The words didn't process at first. Her eyes were closed and head was hanging. "Thank you." She mumbled to him once it was processed. She knew he was just doing his job. Compassion for him was strange but he had to go against the family he had probably been serving for thousands of years. The guard was just,as he had said,following orders.
