Chapter 1

Julia Slater was having a perfectly normal – by her standards - day. Nothing had messed up her routine, she'd been able to relax, and she'd just seen Thor, Ragnarok. She'd loved it. She was humming as she crossed the street, but didn't notice the colorful wall that appeared in front of her until the last minute. She yelled as it swept her up, and she flew, quite literally, through a swirling vortex of light. Collapsing as soon she felt solid ground underneath her, she screamed as she saw the gigantic severed head in front of her.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?!"

Thor was confused. Some girl had just appeared from the Bifrost, seemingly from where he had summoned help. He watched as she stood up and kicked the head of the beast after screaming and yelling. She brushed her fluffy jacket off and seemed satisfied as her hands came up clean. She looked up and spotted Thor. Brown eyes widened and her jaw dropped, revealing teeth with metal seemingly attached to the top row.

"You have got to be kidding me! This is a movie! This shouldn't be real!" She shouted, her voice echoing. "Someone tell me what is going on right now!"

"Who are you?" Thor replied, his voice steady and betraying none of the confusion he felt. "And how did you get to Asgard via the Bifrost?" He strode forward. Julia glanced at him and stepped back.

"I'm Julia Slater, 19. I'm in frickin' college. Why am I here? How did I get here?" She replied nervously, looking around. She spotted the machine guns and gasped. "Where did you get these? How, actually. They're virtually impossible to get!" She breathed, scampering over. "I want to touch… but… ugh… I wish I'd studied these…." The strange girl settled for gazing at the weapons longingly. Thor was even more confused, and a slight wariness had joined in. "Back to the why, and how." She muttered, shaking her head to break her awe. So close, and yet, so far….

"The Bifrost is how you arrived on Asgard." Thor responded. "And I don't know why."

"Are you actually Thor?" She asked suddenly. Thor was thrown at this change in topic, but responded.

"Yes…" He then remembered he wanted to check on Father. He turned to leave.

"Wait! I'm coming with you!" The girl almost yelped and sprinted over.

"No…you're…"

"Yes, I am. I have to get home, and I think you're the only way to do it. So you're stuck with me."

"Oh, alright." Thor sighed, giving in. "Grab my arm, left, not right."

"Yay!" Julia almost squealed. "I've always wanted to fly!" She whispered, probably not meant to be heard, but it was. Thor gave her a strange look, but spun his hammer and off they went. "Wait! I have to – announce your arrival…" The bald guy said. Julia looked back sadly. The man sighed and started jogging.

The two landed, and came upon a strange sight. They watched the proceedings, Thor dumbfounded, and Julia shuffling awkwardly in secondhand embarrassment. As soon as they were over, the show began. Thor and "Odin" had a faceoff, and Loki was revealed. Julia eyed his outfit enviously. He didn't notice. She tagged along as they went to the Bifrost and to the nursing home.

"I didn't know about this! I'm not a witch!" Loki retorted to Thor's scathing comment on his choices.

"Then why are you dressed as one?" Julia snorted.

"Also, who is she? Why is she with us?" Loki asked.

"Julia Slater, pleased to meet you Loki. And I have no idea why I'm in your universe, but I am. I'm stuck with you since I have no idea where on earth I am and have no money." Loki shrugged, looking down for a split second. His eyes widened as a gold circle surrounded his and Julia's feet. Julia backed away, shaking her head. "No, I am NOT getting – " She was cut off as she fell through the hole with Loki. She grabbed Loki's sleeve as she fell. "Doctor Strange I am going to KILL YOU!"

Thor poked suspiciously at the business card that remained in place of the two that had disappeared. "Loki?" When nothing happened, he picked it up, and saw an address. He figured he was being summoned, so to the address he went. The ensuing events ended up being confusing with the only answers being that Odin was in Norway, and that Dr. Strange didn't want Loki (and Julia for some reason) to come back to Earth. The wizard took his hair. Thor summoned his umbrella, and really didn't regret breaking several things in Dr. Strange's house, mainly because of the confusion. Then came getting Loki and Julia back. The man opened up a hole above their heads and Loki and Julia fell out of it, flailing. Loki recovered his breath.

"I have been falling for THIRTY MINUTES!" He shouted, and Julia picked herself up off the ground, glaring at the cloaked figure and started stalking towards him while Loki summoned his daggers and did the same. "Who do you think you are, some second rate – "

"And goodbye!" The man proclaimed, and sent them through the portal. Julia stayed behind the three, out of respect for the events she knew were coming. Odin said something, and Loki glanced at her, but she didn't find out what it was. Then Odin dissolved into golden particles and Julia watched, an unreadable expression on her face. Loki stood up, and Thor did the same. Julia flinched and covered her ears when it thundered, she hated thunder, and sprinted over to the brothers when the vortex started to form. She stood behind Loki as he and Thor transformed back into their normal selves, and stifled a chuckle when Loki replied "I beg your pardon?"

When Hela demanded they kneel, Julia muttered several uncomplimentary things about her. When the hammer got destroyed, Loki grabbed her wrist and yelled to take them back, over Thor's protest. Julia looked down and was shocked to see she was not in her fluffy jacket and jeans anymore. She had no time to question it, for she and Loki were knocked out of the transport onto Sakaar. She was extremely grateful she would not be facing Hulk, and extremely grateful she was not food, or a prisoner.

However, meeting the arse who called himself the Grandmaster almost caused her to loose it, expecially after he called her chest 'a little small." Loki had to grab her wrist to keep her from stabbing him with one of the daggers she had acquired. She loved daggers, and Loki had been teaching her to use them since they had arrived. She was going to get her revenge later, that arse shouldn't have looked at her chest to begin with. She dressed the way she did because she did not want that kind of attention. He would pay for that.

Perhaps Loki was rubbing off on her…

One of the following days (that were becoming increasingly repetitive, she usually didn't mind but she needed something different for once…) Loki was sitting on one of the couches in the main room of the entertainment area, and Julia recognized the things he was telling them. She instantly grew excited, and Loki glanced at her as she practically started vibrating in her seat, her face one of glee. Soon the time was upon them, and Julia heard the much awaited, "Loki! Loki!" She about ran over to Thor when he noticed them.

"We didn't get chairs!" Loki told him, sounding slightly petulant.

"That's a good thing, though, if we had chairs, we'd be trying to escape as much as possible." Julia reminded the trickster, who perked up. "Hi, Thor!"

"Hi…" He said. The conversation ensued as Julia remembered. Julia cracked a smile when Thor demanded that the Grandmaster,

"Point me in the direction of whoever's ass I have to kick!".

Loki and Julia remained in the main chamber for a while, Loki resuming his tales, and Julia simply people watching. She'd gotten good at that, people were so confusing. Speaking of which, she should probably get Loki to explain a few things about people, he was very good at taking things and using them to his advantage, and this obviously required immense skill at reading people. Julia could use a little bit of that. They went to their chambers and Loki said they were going to visit Thor. She looked up a minute later to find herself staring at the back of Thor's head. She snapped out of it when she saw a flash that had indicated that Thor threw something at Loki.

"Hurts, being lied to, doesn't it?" Thor didn't respond. Loki simply let the siblings talk. This wasn't her place.

When the day of the fight came, Julia was unusually quiet. She wished there were some way that she could "accidently" get the taser like device from the grandmaster, but couldn't think of anything. It was partially motivated out of revenge and partially out of the unfairness of the situation. She brought up the possibility to Loki, but they agreed that it would jeopardize their situation too much. She'd figure out some way to get revenge. Perhaps she'd stick a sign on the back of him that said, "Food". That would be a fitting end to his "reign".

Julia followed Loki as entered the booth. They waited, and soon the excitement built inside the arena until,

"And now… I give you… Lord of Thunder!" Julia chuckled as the arena filled with boo's, but the haircut still surprised her, just like it did when she was watching the thing she thought was a film.

"I bet that's the first time that's ever happened to him." She whispered to Loki, and he smirked. His little bit of amusement was interrupted by the announcement of the reigning champion, and Julia patted Loki's shoulder comfortingly as Hulk entered the arena to cheers. Julia about burst out laughing, Loki looking at her oddly when she twitched, when Thor's "Yes!" brought absolute silence to the arena.

"That was entirely called for..." She muttered under her breath. Loki heard but didn't respond, as he was too horrified by seeing the one person who could beat him in a fight enter the arena. He didn't get any less horrified when Thor pointed him out. When Hulk looked at her in a similar manner to Loki, she gulped. She hadn't even done anything to him!

"We need to get off this planet." Loki muttered, and they got up to leave, but were intercepted by the Grandmaster. Julia "accidently" whipped her cape a little too hard and smacked the creepy guy hard enough to where he winced. She mentally smirked while apologizing. When Thor got close enough to Hulk for him to grab him and beat him around, she unintendedly reminded Loki of himself from when Thor tried to invade Jotunheim, putting her hand on her forehead and sighing.

"Idiot." He heard her mutter. He didn't disagree.

"Yes! That's what it feels like!" Loki shouted when the Hulk repeated what he had done to Loki to Thor. Julia waved off the Grandmaster's look of confusion, and Loki explained, "I'm a big fan of the sport." Julia nodded. The fight continued.

Julia covered her ears when the lightning sounded, not even realizing she'd yelped. "I frickin' hate thunder…" She growled. "So bloody loud. It's painful!" She didn't uncover her ears until the fight was over, rubbing her arms to calm down a bit. Loki wondered why she'd reacted the way she did, but decided to wait until later to ask.
