*4 years later*
I looked at Jane like she had three heads. "You want me to go with you out in the middle of nowhere, here, in New Mexico, to find some this strange weather anomaly?"
Jane nodded, her eyes shining with hope and biting her lip waiting eagerly for my response. "Please Riona! You're my best friend and I really need you on this. I know I already asked a lot of you to fly down here with me, but you are incredibly smart. Plus, your powers are an added bonus."
God damn it. "Jane..." I sighed as she grabbed my hand, begging for me to say yes. I groaned. "Fine! I don't really use my powers out in the open, but for my best friend I think I can make an exception, but you owe me big time!" She cheered, giving me a hug and then running of to Darcy and Erik to get everything set for tonight.
I shook my head at her fondly. Jane and I have been close friends since I arrived in this dimension and throughout the 4 years living here, many other things have happened. Met some interesting people, even now have full control of my powers and other ones that I have copied. I do use my powers over the elements and weather more than anything though. I just feel more comfortable using them than those I copy.
The moment Jane found out about my powers, she asked if I could help take part in her research and use my weather controlling powers to gain more accurate information. I agreed naturally, and in doing so, I've been everywhere with her to gather all the information that she needed.
I actually really enjoyed her research. I even started writing down my own data and observations. I will say though, Jane does have a habit of taking her work a little too seriously.
I walked over to my table where all my notes were spread out in an organized mess. My eyes landed on a map covered in a drawing of a tree with nine spaces scattered among it. Some of the spaces were filled with names and the others were left blank. I never showed this to Jane, mostly because it would slightly messed up my timeline and also because it wasn't finished. I somewhat remembered the nine realms and where they were all located but I couldn't remember a good half of them.
I gathered up the drawing and many other notes along with it into my notebook. I looked over to the others who were gathering their own things. "This is going to be a long night." I said to myself and went towards them.
*Later that night*
We parked the SUV in the middle of the desert, I was sitting on the roof, setting up all of Jane's equipment while she worked on getting everything ready in the SUV.
"All set up here, just waiting for you Jane." I called down to them. The SUV's lights turned off and Jane and Erik popped their heads through the roof beside me. Jane handed me a piece of equipment and I latched it to the roof. We all looked up to the clear night sky, the anticipation running through our veins.
Erik and I looked to Jane and she nodded at the two of us. "Wait for it."
"Can I turn on the radio?" Darcy asked from inside. "No." Jane automatically said back. She then looked to me with hopeful eyes. "Riona?"
I liked my lips, looking back up at the sky. I nodded to her and to myself. "Sure." I stood up, lifting my left arm into the air and towards the sky in front of us. This was my usual set up, as Jane waited for her own data, I gathered mine with my powers. I could feel the atmosphere, whether or not any clouds or any other weather conditions that may occur.
Erik sighed behind me. "Jane, you can't keep doing this."
Jane looked down, and went back inside. "The last seventeen occurrences have been predictable to the second." Erik followed her inside while I stayed and concentrated on my own task.
I could hear the two arguing below, Erik trying to reason with her on work and that this was all basically a waste of her intelligence. I know that wasn't what he was saying but he didn't want her to be disappointed if all of this was really for nothing.
Suddenly clouds started to roll in out of nowhere, I could feel all the energy and power coursing through my entire body. These were not just any ordinary clouds, they were glowing iridescent, light shining through.
"Jane!" I called out to her. I heard Darcy say the same thing. In response, Jane and Erik both came up to the roof in awe of what was happening before us. "I thought you said it was a subtle aurora?" Erik asked Jane, not believing in her words.
I looked back at them, Jane and I meeting eyes for a brief moment. She was silently asking me if this was it. If we found what she was hoping for. "This is it Jane." With my confirmation, Jane's ambitions were through the roof, literally. "Go!"
I dropped down to my knees, my hands latching onto anything that was stable to keep me from falling off as Darcy drove the SUV at high speed. Erik and Jane went back inside and I heard Jane call up to me in concern. "Riona!"
"I'm fine, just keep going! I told you that I was going to help you. This is the best way I can!" I yelled to her. Even without one of my arms up, I could still feel every bit of energy that was in the night sky.
We continued on closer and closer to the anomaly and I knew that Jane was getting an adrenaline kick out of the entire experience. I was too, but I used that to keep me attached to the roof and hoped to not fall off.
The clouds morphed into a tornado form and touched down with the Earth causing the ground to shake from the impact. My eyes widened as were almost to the point of touching the tornado when Darcy swerved away from it. I let go of a breath that I didn't even realize I was holding in. I was eternally grateful for Darcy in that moment.
"What are you doing?!" Jane shouted at Darcy.
"I am not dying for six college credits!" Darcy retorted back. I honestly don't blame her. The SUV kept on swerving back and forth, meaning that Jane was fighting Darcy to turn back towards the tornado.
"I swear to god Jane! This is not worth risking your life over. If you do not stop fighting right now I will teleport us back to town! You hear me?!" I yelled at her, starting to get angry with her.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Try me!"
Before she could get another word out, something else seemed to make impact to the ground causing the SUV to shake again. Of course this still didn't stop Jane.
I was going to stay true to my word and teleport us back to town, but I saw a figure of a man right in front of us. I heard Darcy and Jane scream as Darcy hit the breaks, but she still hit the man with the side of the SUV.
We came to a full stop, the tornado was gone and only strong winds swept along the desert. "You just hit someone!" I whispered to myself, ignoring my heart pounding in my head. I jumped off the roof, landing on the ground and formed a ball of light while running toward the unconscious man.
"I think that was legally your fault." Darcy blamed Jane for what just happened. "Jane, get the first aid kit!" I yelled at her. I skidded down to my knees next to the unconscious man. With my free hand I placed it on his chest, right above his heart. There was still a heartbeat. "Thank god." I said to myself.
Jane, Erik and Darcy surrounded the man and me. "Where did he come from?" Jane asked. I shook my head "I don't…" I tilted my head in curiosity at the man. "...Know."
I kept my hand on his chest, I could feel immense power coming from but at the same time I didn't. Like there was traces of something that was once there. I lifted the ball of light closer to his face and my eyes widened.
His features almost looked like they were sculpted, his long blonde hair cascaded down his face; all in all, he was very handsome.
"Thor Odinson. God of Thunder."
