Chapter 4

After arriving on Earth, Thor decided that before he picked up the mortal he would visit his friends, the Avengers at Stark Tower, and tell them about everything that was going on with Loki and Asgard. Surely the Man of Iron would be quiet amused by his brother's situation. Thor smirked at the exchange Loki and he had, had before he left for Midgard;

"I will see you later my brother, for I am off to fetch your bride since you are not capable of such a feat," Thor let out a chuckle of amusement at the thought of Loki's fate. Loki was not as cheerful about his, "arrangement". In fact he was quite bitter about the whole situation,

"Do not mock me, you useless barbarian. Just because I am forced to stay here until my…ceremony does not mean I am incapable of securing myself a bride," Loki sneered with a look of contempt on his face.

Although Thor found humor in Loki's destiny, he knew that if he were in the same situation he would be quite devastate.

'The girl does not seem so bad,' Thor thought 'from the description I was given she seems at least adequate,' he thought about the picture he was given of the girl, she looked to be in her mid-twenties. She had light brown hair, which appeared to have red highlights when touched by the sun. She had a speckling of faint freckles across the bridge of her nose, that gave her somewhat of a childish look. Her eyes were dark blue with light grey blue rays and flecks. 'And she is of noble birth. She would keep most bachelors of Asgard content.'

Thor arrived at Stark Tower within minutes, and was greeted with great enthusiasm. When he informed the others of Loki's arrangement, the Avengers were, to say the least, shocked. Tony was the first to speak,

"And you mean to tell me that Reindeer Games is okay with this?"

"He is not "okay" with it, but he accepts his punishment," Thor explained.

"Excuse me if I offend you, but these seems a little medieval, even to me," Steve interjected.

"It is not common in Asgard to have arranged marriages, but it is not unheard of either and is accepted by the people," Thor responded.

Tony reached for his glass of amber colored cognac and raised it in a toasting position and said,

"Well I say we wish the poor bastard luck." Several of the S.H.I.E.L.D members threw him stern glares, "That doesn't mean I forgive him for trying to take over the earth, but I don't think the man has any idea what he's getting himself into," He reprimanded.

"I must take my leave friends, I must go and fetch the soon to be bride," Thor said as he waved and left the building.

The next eight hours for Thor were confusing, tiring and even a bit terrifying, as he tried to figure out how to get to the Hudson Museum in Maine where Keira, that was the girl's name, worked and studied. When he finally found himself in the correct state and city, he had an easier time finding the museum, thanks to the map a disgruntled tourist had given him out of frustration. The first thing Thor noticed about the building was the windows. One side of the museum was built completely out of windows. When he entered the museum he was greeted by a tired looking blonde seated behind the reception desk, her nametag read simply, Emma.

"Greetings Emma, I am Thor, son of Odin. Do you know where I could find Keira Weylenson? It is most important that I find her," He asked.

"Yeah, you'll find her in the archives; just uh, just go down that hallway until you hit the staircase. Go down two flights and she should be in the room with all the old books,' Emma looked at the man in front of her, 'This guy is gorgeous and huge, and my God his hair is- I wish my hair looked like that. What is he wearing? I mean it looks good on him, but the cape is a bit much…I wonder what he wants with Keira…? I better call her and tell her that Fabio is on his way down.'

"Hello? Hey Em! How are you? Yeah I know I just saw you on my way in, but I gotta check in on you once in a while. I know what kind of trouble you can get yourself into. Yeah I'm downstairs, why? Uh did he say what his name is? No I don't know any Thor's. Ok, I'll tell you what he wants right after he leaves. Yep, ok, I didn't forget about dinner! Seven, right? Alright, see you there. Bye!" As Keira got off the phone Thor came bounding into the backroom. He reminded her of a big yellow lab, what with his glossy hair and the look on his face, like he was retrieving a squirrel for his master.

When Thor saw Keira, she looked exactly like the photograph, but she was a bit shorter than he had expected her to be, reaching about five foot three in her tennis shoes. He stepped forward and cleared his throat, saying,

"Keira Weylenson, I am Thor son of Odin, and I have come to bring you back to Asgard, so that you may wed my brother Loki."

Keira didn't know what was going on, 'Wed? Asgard? What the hell is Asgard? I won't go, this guy is a lunatic if thinks that I'd go with him. He probably is a lunatic, I mean look at what he's wearing? Why is he wearing a cape? Wait I don't have to go with him, and if he takes me without my consent, that's kidnapping!'

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm afraid that I cannot go with you," Keira tried to say confidently.

"I hoped you would agree to come out of your own will, but no matter you will have to come with me no matter what you wish."

"What are you-"

Keira felt an energetic warmth surround her body, and she felt herself being pulled towards Thor.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"When you refused to come with me, the spell that binds you to my Father, Odin, King of Asgard, will allow my father to control your movements. Because I was the one dispatched to come and get you, I can control your movements."

"That's..that's not possible!"

But much to her horror her arm linked itself through Thor's over sized arm, all on its own! She stared down at her feet as they walked up the stairs and out of the museum all on their own. She was flabbergasted at what was going on. This surely could not be physically possible! Suddenly she felt the warmth become a bit cooler, she was in control of her limbs, but found that she couldn't be more than a few feet away from the giant version of Fabio.

"We will now be transported to my home, I suggest that you hold on to my arm very tightly, for it would not do well for me to lose the bride," Thor chuckled as they were transported to Asgard.

So that was chapter number 4, next up everyone meets Keira! This is sure to be eventful! Thanks for reading! :)
