Chapter 2

The door to Brynn's room opened and Dr. Emily Stanton stepped in. Her neat blonde hair was tied back in a perfect bun, not a hair was out of place. None ever were. She wore dark brown pants and a bright red sleeveless turtle neck. Her lips matched her blouse, she was altogether, a well kept woman.

"You look dressed up. What do you have in your hand?" Brynn stared at the other woman. Since their experiment had been successful, the two walked a thin, crooked line in their relationship with each other. One could say they almost despised each other.

Emily stepped forward and handed Brynn a bag clothes and toiletries. She instructed her to take a shower and discard the hospital robes. They were leaving and soon. S.H.I.E.L.D. demanded their presence. As Brynn hobbled off of the hospital bed, Agent Miko opened the door to the room and entered.

"I will watch your child while you bathe. Did you pick a name for her?" she asked the new mother.

Brynn drug her feet as she ambled to the bathroom, the exhaustion of the birth wore her down."No," was her reply. "Perhaps it will come to me in the shower." She was reluctant to share any information with either of the two women. She trusted Miko more, but just barely. A month before the baby's birth, Brynn had made up her mind to do what ever it took to keep the child; this baby of hers would not live a life of captivity like a zoo animal, people were not going gawk at her infant.

"Brynn O'Niel should be arrested for treason. She has put us in danger and created a dangerous creature! It should be terminated! It's creation was unauthorized!" Declared one of the shadowed councilmen that Director Fury took his orders from.

Nick Fury fumed at image. "Kill an innocent child? We don't know what this child is capable of, but she could be useful to S.H.I.E.L.D. and her mother was hired for a specific reason. Now, this was not planned on our part, these actions were that of individuals and both Ms. O'Niel and Dr. Stanton will be punished in a manner of my choosing. O'Niel couldn't have children, yet she bore Loki's child, that, in of itself, is reason enough to see where this goes. This is the first hybrid birth we have ever heard of. A child of two worlds! That baby girl is our key to super soldiers, to earth's warriors."

His speech was impressive, but the other councilmen hardly flinched. "A test run. The Asgardians may not take the child and if the child proves dangerous and uncontrollable, you had better be prepared to stop it," said another shadowy image. Their transmissions were cut and Fury was left in his own company.

"What a damn mess."

The wind picked up speed on the ship and thunder pounded the skies. Rain lightly fell from a cyclone building above the ship. In an instant it all stopped and sunny skies reappeared. With his hammer in hand, the great Thor strutted across the deck of the ship. An agent dressed in a black suit came running up to him. The agent was shockingly short compared to Thor and had significantly less hair then the Asgardian. The Agent introduced himself as Jim Walker, to which Thor grunted a reply. The Agent half jogged to keep pace with Thor as he walked tenaciously towards the bridge of the helicarrier.

Thor threw open the mechanical doors to the ship and sent them crashing to the ground. The door frame bent awkwardly. Both the Asgardian and the Agent stepped through the shattered glass; the agent cringed at the sound of the glass breaking further beneath his boots.

"Really, sir, there was no need for that, they open on their own," stated the annoyed Agent Walker.

Thor scanned the bridge. His eyes fell on Director Fury. Seconds was all it took for him to cross the room to Fury, both stared heatedly at each other. Thor holstered the mjolnir and crossed his arms. "Where are they?"

"Just arrived. The mother is weak, but will allow only one of my agents to hold onto the child. Not even the doctor that impregnated her is permitted near the child. They are resting at this moment. We need to talk, Thor."

The Asgardian prince shook his blond head. "I will see them now. They must come to Asgard. My father will decide what do with them. This is a family matter, I am in no mood to argue."

"Like hell it is. My employees disobeyed me. One got a child and there is no way you will be able to take that baby from her. She isn't Asgardian. Your family keeps messing up my world. This is not a damn 'family matter' and as I recall, you are not even related to this child."

Thor reached to his hammer. Fury stopped short. "We were allies and I have no qualms with your people, except with Loki. But O'Niel is one of mine and that baby of hers is very important to us."

Nick Fury lead Thor to a semi round table and began discussing Brynn O'Niel and Emily Stanton. The baby, at present, showed no remarkable skill, but was highly attached to her mother, explained Nick. The mother and child could not be separated and Fury had no doubt that O'Niel would fight to the death to maintain the child. Fury agreed to Thor's demands, both child and mother would be taken to Asgard, but they would not be alone. One of Fury's agents would accompany them to Asgard and remain there. It was a turbid decision, both had something to gain, but neither expressed their exact interest in the case.

Brynn stared up at the towering Thor. She blushed, he was an impressive sight to behold, no wonder Jane Foster was so enamored with him. But then Brynn shrank, she was nothing impressive. Her was now clean and color had returned to her skin, but she did just deliver a eight pound baby. Insecurity washed over her under his heated glare.

Thor has glanced down at the baby in Brynn's arms for a second, snorted and declared that she looked like Loki. Brynn could feel his anger towards Loki, and her, and her baby girl. What exactly was he angry at? She could not be sure. Loki had made their battle hard and he had wounded Thor deeply. Thor loved his brother, but Loki's actions made it nearly impossible for him to like him anymore. Brynn understood that he was in pain. How did her child make him feel?

On Brynn's shoulder was a bag full of things her daughter would need, on her back, she carried even more items, and hanging from her other shoulder was a modest supply of clothes for herself. Thor carefully took one of the bag and threw it over his shoulder. They were nearly ready to go.

Agent Miko appeared behind Brynn with her own modest bag of clothes and took the other bag hanging from Brynn's shoulder. Brynn was then free to adjust herself and her baby. Director Fury watched the procession and waited for them to leave for Asgard. He was fuming silently, his mind turning and turning in ways to bend the situation in his favor. Asgard could not keep this baby, she was earth's future, but Fury would make sure he got more like her.

Thor started, "All right, here we go. Brynn, step closely. Agent Miko, taken hold of my arm." With a thunderous boom, they were off and speeding through space. Within seconds they landed on a brilliant shimmering platform. A small crowd of Asgardians were gathered together, all dressed in regal clothing. Brynn noticed an old man with a golden patch over his right eye standing in the middle of the crowd. Next to him stood a woman with long golden hair. She has a very noble look about her and the tears of joy slowly falling from her eyes, did little do diminish that nobility. Here, they stood before the most powerful people in Asgard. Brynn felt little and weak compared to them, it was only with Thor's urging that she stepped forward to meet them.
