Anthea was packing her belongings into a small bag, she took off her armor and placed on some casual clothing. She looked around her, looking at the huge room she had and she sighed and looked down.
She couldn't stay.
Anthea treasured Aya and Thor's offer to stay with them to land on a safe place for themselves and the rest of the people that lived in Asgard but.. She didn't feel like she belonged in Asgard, she didn't feel like a god.
She quietly went to Bruce's room a few hours before and they talked a while before Bruce hugged Anthea with tears in his eyes, sadden that he wouldn't see his best friend and someone he considered his sister.
Anthea didn't find Loki because that was going to be the hardest goodbye for her. Her and Loki had flirted and were developing feelings for each other but she knew.. Loki wasn't the one for her.
Loki was a God, he was going to live long after her.. He would still look young when she was older. Things wouldn't just work out and plus she knew.. They would have never worked out anyways.
Anthea knew Loki wasn't the one.. She knew her only one would be out there in space right now.. Looking for her.
She didn't remember her past, it was all a blurr up to her meeting the Grandmaster. But she wanted to figure out who she was really and find out what happened that made her not remember her past.. She knew being with Loki would make her stop from searching.
"So you were going to leave without saying goodbye?" A familiar voice said and Anthea sighed and she turned to see Loki leaning on the wall, his arms crossed and his eyebrows raised at her and she went on packing
"Figured that saying goodbye would be hard" She said and he was quiet for a moment before he shook his head "It wouldn't be hard for me" He lied and she shook her head
"No... It would be hard for me" She spoke softly, his eyes soften as he went towards her and she dropped her bag and he placed a hand on her waist while stroking her cheek with a finger
"So stay.. Be with me" He said softly, Anthea bit her lip and she really wanted to hug him tight, to tell him that she would but she shook her head
"Remember when I told you that I didn't remember my past..? That sometimes I had dreams of hearing multiple voices? Dancing with a face I couldn't remember?" She whispered and he nodded at her "I understand... You need to find out who you are"
"I don't want to leave.. I want to stay with you, but something is screaming inside of me to go out there and find them.. Find that man" She whispered and Loki sighed and nodded
"Then I understand.. I can't make you stay here and be miserable" Loki simply said and Anthea saw the hurt expression on his face and she cupped his cheeks
"I'm not going to be gone forever.. I'm pretty sure we'll cross paths again, one day" She said and Loki nodded and smirked "Hopefully you have everything figured out and we can start over.. Just you and me"
"I would like that Loki.. I really would" Anthea whispered but she knew deep inside.. That her and Loki could never be together.
Loki looked into her eyes in awe and he looked at her with some an intense look "Let me help you then.." He whispered and Anthea looked confused at first and she scowled "How so?"
"I can try to help you remember.. It might not work, but I'm a strong Socherer.." He whispered to her and she was hesitant for a moment before he cupped her cheeks and leaned down to her, kissing her softly.
Anthea melted into the kiss and held on to him, their lips moving in sync and suddenly it felt like a jolt of energy went through Anthea as her mind was suddenly racing
Anthea was at the fountain on Xander, sunning herself. She was with Groot and... Rocket? Yes Rocket.. Her best friend. She felt a presence and looked up and saw the faceless man.. She wanted to call out to him but she didn't even know his name and she tried waving to him but he course he didn't notice.
Anthea opened her eyes and saw she was strolling in the prison.. Rocket and.. Gamora, her best friend, were walking in front of her and she looked back to see Groot and the faceless man behind her.. She tried to open her mouth to say something to him but she couldn't.. It was like she didn't have a voice when she looked at him..
Anthea turned to see she was now with her friend.. Drax, outside of the Milano fending off ships that were going after the Milano and she heard the faceless man's voice.. But couldn't understand what he was saying.. But his voice just felt like.. Home. She felt safe when she heard it.
Anthea opened her eyes once more to see she was in a destroyed ship with.. Her cousin Silvia, dragging her to an escape pod and soon typing and watched as the pod left.. Leaving her on that destroyed ship before she closed her eyes once more.
She opened her eyes and suddenly she was in the front of the destroyed ship, watching as it was about to go into the tundra.. Knowing what was going to happen next until she heard that voice..
"I love you and you only, you're the only woman I ever wanted in the galaxy and there will never be anyone after you because I could never love anyone like the way I love you.."
Then all at once.. She finally saw his face
Anthea broke the kiss with a gasp, she was breathless "Peter!" She said as she looked at Loki "Oh my god! I can't believe I forgot him!" She said and Loki was just looking at her and he nodded "Then I should let you get going then.." He said as there was a bit of hurt in his voice. Anthea's expression soften and she leaned forward to kiss him. Of course he kissed back and he wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her in closer and she started tugging at his hair and they broke apart, both of them needing air
"This was real... We're were real." Anthea said and Loki smiled softly at that "It doesn't matter if I got my memories back.. Everything that I had felt before that was real and I don't regret this one bit" She whispered and he kissed her forehead "I'm very glad.. My feelings for you are 100 percent true and just thank you for being the best woman I could ever ask for.. I never thought I would ever find anyone" He admitted and she smiled at him
"There is someone for everyone.. You're going to find someone who is going to treat you like their world.. I know that they'll be lucky.. But my world is out there, hopefully looking for me" She said and he smiled "I know, I saw every memory.. How much you two loved each other.. You deserve a lot and that's him" Loki said as he smiled "I'm just the monster that parents tell their kids about"
"You're so much more Loki.. Not a monster.. But an amazing person" She said and he chuckled "I'm glad someone sees that"
Anthea grabbed her back and she went to kiss Loki on the cheek and she smiled at him "I'll see you around Loki.." She said and he returned the kiss on her forehead "I'll see you around too.. Don't be afraid to come visit me.. I'm going to need a partner to pull tricks on when we find our new home" He said and was walking to the door and she looked back and winked at him "Of course.. You don't think I'll let you have all the fun" She said and he laughed and they said their farewell and Anthea left..
She would go into a pod, searching the galaxy for Peter and The Guardians.. Her family.
Aya walked into Thor's bedroom and saw he was admiring his new look. She chuckled when she noticed he was making funny faces, appearing to be tough. Thor heard the chuckle and he turned back with a huge smile
"You like the new look?" He questioned and Aya poured herself a drink and she held the glass and smiled "I like it, You look more tough if I must say" She said and he raised his eyebrow "Then I like it" He said and he went towards her "Anthea is gone?"
"Valkyrie sent her off, Loki is doing well.. Hulk and Bruce.. Not so much. But everyone is doing good" She said and Thor nodded "And our people?"
"Everyone is settling now, the kids mostly are running around and playing around with Korg while the adults and elders are settling on where they're sleeping" Aya said and Thor nodded "Good.. You?"
"It just feels.. Weird to be back with our people.. A lot of people that we grew up with, are either dead or they have their own families.. While I'm just h-"
"I feel the same" Thor said as he smiled "People our age are already married with children.. While we were off defending the world.. Crazy huh?" Thor asked and Aya chuckled and nodded in agreement "We would have that crazy luck" She laughed and sat on the bed and she took a sip of her drink
"So it's crazy.. You're going to be the King of Asgard after all" Aya said and Thor chuckled "The thing I've been running away from.. Now I have to embrace it" He said and Aya smiled "That's why you'll have me as the best advisor ever" She said and Thor had a small grin
"I had someone else in mind for that role" She said and Aya looked up "Oh?"
"I thought Valkyrie would fit the role more.. She would be able to give us the real advice for us.. A real King and Queen need that" Thor said and Aya's eyes widen
"King and Queen?"
Thor went towards her and kneeled down and took her hands "Ever since you came back.. All that's in my mind were the 'What ifs.'. What if you stayed and we got married? What if we did become the King and Queen of Asgard? What if we had.. Children?" He whispered and she smiled softly at that as he spoke
"I've been meaning to ask.. Can we give us another try? Just go back to being those stupid kids that were in love and engaged.. Not looking back and when live that dream of being married, great rulers and parents?" He asked and without hesitation she leaped into his arms and brought him into a bone crushing hug before leaning forward to kiss him
Thor's eyes widen and soon he closed them and placed his hands on her waist.. Kissing her after all those years, it was a feeling he thought he wouldn't have felt again.. Being with her.. It felt right.
"I would love nothing more.. I would say let's get married now, but we're currently on a space ship and we have to make sure our people are safe." She whispered and he laughed "I don't mind calling you my Wife right now.." He said and she grinned "Great.. Husband, we'll have the ceremony once we land.. But first you have to take your throne in the main room"
"As long as I got my Queen/Wife with me.. Everything is great" He whispered and she smiled brightly "Where are we heading to and having our wedding ceremony.. King Thor?" She teased at his new title and he laughed and shook his head
"I think we're heading to earth.. For our new start.. Queen Aya" He said in a teasing tone and she chuckled as they both leaned in for a loving kiss.
Aya thought that everything.. Life with their people, with Thor.. Was going to be peaceful..
She was wrong.
Author's Note:
The end!
So Anthea got her memories of Peter back, but we don't know if/when Peter will get his memories of her..
So Aya and Thor are together again! I would say they're sorta married, I think they're mostly waiting for them to get to earth (Hint: They're not)
I loved Loki and Anthea's relationship and I felt like it should have been Loki that gave her back the memories, also them ending things on good terms and them just admiring and respecting each other.
I think if Anthea finds out about Loki's fate in IW, she will be very heartbroken.. As Loki is someone that Anthea cares about deeply.. Their relationship wouldn't have worked out simply because Loki is a god and Anthea isn't..
IW is going to be a heart crusher for Aya and Anthea, I think those two are going to go through hell the most.
We have two post credit chapters:
Chapter 1- Wonder why Thor knows the locations of the stones besides the soul? Maybe because a certain goddess told him
Chapter 2- Thanos appears
