Ch-2 Meet Princess Zenith and The MI-13
Asgard
Heimdall smiled to himself when he sensed a presence in the Bifrost chamber that he felt in quite some time…
"Will it kill you to use the door every once in a while?" He said as he turned to face the Karzaanian Princess.
"No… but it does take away from the surprise entrance thing that you know I'm so fond of…" Princess Zenith winked at the Asgardian Gatekeeper… "Is the all father in? That's a rhetorical question of course because he's never really out is he?"
"He has been through a tough time Princess… he lost his wife and a son… both his sons come to think of it…" Heimdall said.
"I know dear Heimdall… That's why I'm here… to inform the all father that Frigga has found peace in Valhalla… and offer my condolences…" The Princess assured Heimdall before she disappeared right before his eyes…
It disturbed him sometimes that the Princess could cloak herself from his all sight but then he reminded herself that Frigga trusted her and that is all that should matter.
Court Of the Imposter King/ Loki
Nobody ever tells the reality of being king… such a lustrous and alluring throne… such a boring job.
Loki thought to himself as he tried to listen to the incessant chattering of a nobleman who seemed to be talking about everything and nothing all at once…
If I knew this is how dull being a King is… I might've reconsidered faking my own death to take the throne…
Loki was on the verge of dozing off when the voice of a guard rang through the hall, "Princess Zenith Krumwell of Karzaan requests an audience with the king…"
"Well… I mean you say request, I however am just barging in like I own the place…" The girl winked at the guard situated at the gate.
The girl was dressed black leather pants and a black shirt, both tailored perfectly to cling to her rather decadently luscious curves, with a green cape draped haphazardly over one shoulder, with matching green high heeled boots.
And she was wearing a gold band on her head… on closer scrutiny; Loki realized that it was a crown of sorts, fashioned in the image of a snake biting its own tail. A symbol of eternity.
"Ah! Looking as fierce as ever all father…" Zenith said as she strode forward.
Loki dug in the Information that he had extracted from Odin's brain… but it seemed that all the memories of this girl were blurred… as if looking through thick fog, all he could decipher was that she had something to do with Frigga and that she was royalty from a far off realm which was not a part of Yggdrasill.
"Princess" Loki nodded at her.
"King Odin, I was wondering if we could speak in private…" She asked.
"That could certainly be arranged." Loki replied.
"Brilliant!" she said as she snapped her fingers transporting both of them to what seemed Frigga's old chambers.
She has magic! Loki thought to himself as he saw the girl take a seat and make herself at home… Like she owns the place indeed… does this girl have no respect?
"How are have been since Frigga's departure?" She asked in a soft voice.
"I bide my time and try to convince my son to take the throne until the time that I can join her in Valhalla… is that why you're here then? To offer condolences…?" Loki had an edge to his voice… he missed his mother.
"You know how much Frigga meant to me… I'm here because I have a message from her." The girl said.
"A message from Frigga? Is this your idea of a joke?" Loki seethed.
The girl however seemed rather dumbstruck, "Why would you assume I jest?"
"BECAUSE FRIGGA IS DEAD!"
"YES! AND I MET HER DURING MY VISIT TO THE AFTERWORLD! Why is that such a surprise for you? You know I visit their often to council with my elders…"
Well this is a faux-pas… Loki thought to himself as he realized his mistake. "Forgive me… I am distraught… what is this message that you speak of?" He asked trying to distract the girl.
"She tells you not to stop trusting and to have hope" She said softly.
Oh mother… of course you would say something like this… He thought with a heavy heart… and then reminded himself that had an act to uphold.
"Is that all princess?"
"No actually it isn't… there is indeed another reason why I'm here…" the girl said, with an almost sheepish expression on her face.
"What do you want?"
"I need to see Loki…" this intrigued Loki, but had to maintain his act.
"You can't." He said shortly.
This seemed to anger the girl a bit… "No offence King Odin, but I'm a level 7 shtriga and a guardian of the omniverse… you don't have the authority or the power to deny me what I want." The girl challenged.
Did this girl really possess a power more potent than the Odin-power?
"Be that as it may… Princess… you still can't see Loki because Loki is dead." He said with finality
All in vain of course, because then the girl insisted, "No he's not."
"Yes! He is!"
"No, He's not."
"Yes! He! Is!"
"No… he isn't…"
"YES! HE IS!" Loki was yelling now… because he was losing his patience with this girl.
"I literally JUST told you that I have been to the Afterworld… if Loki were there I'd know about it!"
"Are you saying that Loki managed to trick his brother and ME? Odin? The King of the nine realms?"
"No offence King Odin, but it won't be the first time that he did it…" She shrugged.
That comment actually amused and mollified Loki, but he was curious… "Why do you want to see him anyway?"
"I don't really need a reason King Odin… he is after all my betrothed." She smiled up at him as she wiggled the fingers of her left hand to draw his attention to a promise ring on her ring finger.
Well that's new… Loki thought as he raised his eyebrow and once again gave this Princess Zenith a once over.
I could definitely do a lot worse… Well Princess Zenith… You might get to meet Loki after all…

Meanwhile At the Avengers Tower
"So let me get this straight…" Tony Stark called the attention of everyone in the room effectively putting an end to the all the buzz and chatter.
Tony hated these moments where he had to act like a grown up because Nick Fury wasn't here at the moment and Steve Rogers seemed to be lost in his own world.
Tony felt bad for Steve Rogers… because he knew the importance of friends in life… and Steve Roger's best friend was literally lost right now. Maybe that was the reason why he was trying to make this as easy for him as possible.
"So, Brian Braddock's code name is 'Captain Britain'… but unlike our Cap here, you don't get your powers from a super serum instead, you get them from Magic?" He asked his new employee.
"Basically…" Brian nodded.
"And Eric Brook's code name is 'Blade'… you are a Dhamphir, which basically means that you're a vampire-human Hybrid… who is a vampire hunter?" Banner asked the dark skinned gentleman.
"Yes" Blade said shortly.
"Jonathan Brandt, code name 'digitek', basically you are crazy good with computers and can manipulate technology with your mind." Maria hill looked at Brandt for confirmation.
"You skipped over my good looks and winning personality!" Brandt pouted, to which Maria just rolled her eyes.
"Arianna Xavier, code name 'Oracle', says here that you can see the future." Agent Barton scoffed.
"Actually it's a little more mathematic than that, I can predict all the possible outcomes of any choice made… it's very handy, if I do say so myself…" Arianna blushed a little when she noticed that Bruce Banner was looking at her rather intently.
"Damien, you are from the realm, Karzaan, and the half brother of Princess Zenith, your codename is 'The Animal' and you abilities are Immortality and the power to shape-shift into any animal…" Thor read off the file of the platinum blond boy who had a rather distinct scar running down the left side of his face.
Damien just nodded to affirm that what Thor said was indeed true.
"What about you Miss Kraft?" Sam Wilson asked the girl with sharp features who didn't seem to talk much… Sam couldn't find her file anywhere on the table, so, he decided to just ask her.
"Code name- Eagle, abilities- I am rich, I can fly and shoot straight. Another thing you should know about me… I don't like people in general, so please, whatever you're about to say… just don't." She told Sam. Who was rather excited at the aspect of telling her that he called himself the falcon and that he could fly too…
Steve Rogers was listening intently to everything that everyone was saying… but there was a nagging feeling in his chest that just won't go away…
"What I wanted to know is… Why this? And Why now…? I mean I realize that there was crisis… but we would have had rebuilt SHIELD again overtime… Fury called us a response team back at that meeting at the pentagon… A response to what exactly?" The room had fallen eerily quiet after Captain America voiced his concerns…
"I have the answer to that particular theory Captain…" Everybody turned to find the source of this voice, only to find Zenith leaning against the refreshment table with a mug of coffee in one hand and a chocolate doughnut in the other.
"Thanos is coming…" She said, dunking the doughnut in the coffee and then eating it while everyone came to terms with what she had just said.
