Tony patted her on the back, "It's alright, none of us know it either."
They all stood outside on the roof of the building, which she learned was actually the deck of an aircraft carrier-with wings! She realized how much better and less conflicted she felt about anything really. She completely forgot about Loki while they showed her around and brought her out on deck. They had laughed at her awe over the vessel. "I did the same thing when I saw this thing." Steve had said. "I didn't think it was possible, but then again I'm from the forties." She had laughed at him, then quickly felt bad. He laughed too, making her feel at ease about it.
She had been granted her freedom, or at least a semblance of it, and the first thing she is able to do is leave, though she doubted she'd be able to use her powers since she wouldn't be on the same plane as Loki. Lily was really starting to hate the fact that she needed him to be strong.
When they finally got down to business, Thor pulled her to his side and held her around the waist. She couldn't help blushing. "Are you ready Miss Williams?" Thor asked as he held her close to him. She had wrapped her arms around his waist tightly expecting to leave. She looked up at him excitedly, feeling like a child. "Ready Freddy." He looked down at her curiously. She laughed, "It's a saying that means we're ready." She beamed, amused by his little knowledge of Earth speak. "Alright then. The rest of you step back and I will call for Heimdall." The others did as they were told and stepped back some ten feet. "Heimdall! Open the Bifrost!" He bellowed to the sky. They were all curios as to whether or not this 'Heimdall' would open the bridge and allow her to enter Asgard. A great grey cloud formed in the sky and a rainbow of color shot down on them.
This made everyone happier.
Lily beamed at the others for the briefest moment before they could no longer see her as she was taken away with Thor. She screamed out in excitement. The colors were that of the rainbow and blended and meshed all around them as they raced to the top.
"Ok, no way that could be the daughter of Loki." Clint piped. "Did you see that smile?" He joked. Fury just gave him a look, shaking his head.
Lily squeezed Thor tightly as she felt like she was losing her grip on him. She didn't know what would happen if she let go of him. Then suddenly it was over. She was almost sitting on her butt but still held tightly onto Thor. She stared crazily at the shiny black floor that sparkled with fading blue-white light. She slowly got over her amazement and excitement from the short trip. Thor looked down at her surprised that she still held onto him, "Are you okay Miss Williams?" He asked, laughing a little. Lily released him and fell on her back, laughing. "Oh my god." She exclaimed in a high pitch voice. "Can we do that again?" He held out his hand to her and pulled her to her feet. She didn't feel a lose of power at all, merely a smoothed line, like her power was rough and hard while on Earth but here it was smooth and clean.
Even though she was nearly as tall as Thor she felt like a child again. She was in a beautiful place that reminder her of an art museum but without the art. It was a dome room with gold circles all over it and the last of that blue-white light was now gone. In the center of the dome was a two-tiered platform with a thing poking out of the center. She saw an African man pulling a sword out of the center spot and was instantly reminded of Excalibur.
"Lily this is Heimdall. The all-seeing and all-hearing sentry of Asgard." Thor said, introducing the man. He nodded kindly to Lily, "Miss Williams." Her jaw dropped, "He-how-he knows my name." She pointed at him while looking at Thor. "I know and see everything, including that which happens on Earth." Lily smiled enthusiastically, thinking about how cool that'd be. Suddenly she got a nasty thought and gave him a quizzical look. "I try my best to overlook such parts." She snickered and Thor looked between them in confusion. "What do you speak of?" He asked. Lily looked up at him, shaking her hands in embarrassment. "Oh nothing!"
Lily suddenly hunched over, puking all over the floor. "I-I will clean that." She said then puked again. Thor put his hand on her back, laughing. "I'm surprised you lasted so long after the trip in the Bifrost. Most puke right away." She gave him a thumbs up, "I'm all good." She wiped her mouth on her sleeve and smiled sheepishly at both of them. "But really, I will clean that up."
"There is no need Miss Williams." Heimdall said. "It will soon be gone." Lily just looked at him but hunched over again, holding her stomach. She didn't puke this time though.
She held Thor's hand as they walked feeling like she would puke again. When they passed Heimdall she noticed his eyes and how bright and orange they were, surprising her. She released Thor's hands and got up in Heimdall's face. "You have some of the most beautiful eyes. You aren't exactly human are you?" He shook his head at her but said nothing. Thor grabbed her shoulder and pulled her away. "Come Miss Williams. There is much more for you to see." She did the 'I'm watching you' gesture to Heimdall before walking forward, making him smile. This was the side of herself that she had wanted the Avengers to see on their first meeting but was too brash to let it out. But now…she was in heaven with joy and excitement. Lily had soon lost memory of puking or feeling sick when they left the domed room and began walking along the rainbow bridge. She began playing hopscotch on it, watching in amazement how it lit up every time she stepped on it.
She then ran to the edge, worrying Thor for a moment she was going to jump off and looked over at the vast sea, if that is what it was. "This place is so beautiful." She sighed in utter happiness. Thor stood besides her, looking down at her, slightly surprised by her vast amount of happiness. Something he was unsure he'd see from her. "I would never get sick of looking out at the sea, so blue and clean." Lily looked up at him shaking her head at him, completely jealous. "You are so lucky to have such a home."
They walked on, entering the city. For a moment she was frozen as she took in the city and it's golden buildings and the beautifully crafted architecture. Thor was very amused by her, for what he was so used to seeing she had to stop and gawk at it. "You are very…curious about the world around you." He said. She closed her mouth and looked at him, glaring playfully. "What you consider home I consider foreign beauty." She caught up to him. "But we are here to talk to the king, your father?" They began to walk on again. "Odin, King of Asgard and my father." She noticed his pride and thought it was sweet that he cared so much for his father.
Lily had gawked and stared at everything, blindly following Thor. She had turned her attention to the men and woman she saw milling around, staring at their beautiful clothes of metallic shades. She saw where Loki had got his interesting outfit from and desperately wanted one. Lily absolutely loved it here! It was beautiful and…peaceful. There was no ruckus of cars with angry drivers. People walked around quietly, talking in hushed tones unless they were meeting with a friend. It was a place Lily wished Earth could be.
"Lily." Thor whispered to get her attention. She quickly glanced at him and saw that he was kneeling on the floor. She looked around and realized that she was in a throne room of sorts. "Oh!" She quickly got down on one knee, looking at Thor for the proper way to do it. Aside from the King there were five others in the room she had only glimpsed.
"You may stand." The king said, his voice carrying through the chamber. Lily quickly stood. She gazed at the Kings throne with rapt attention, noticing all of the intricate markings and swirling designs on it. She was amazed at how gold and shiny it was. The room too and the King too. He was dressed in a beautiful gold...tunic. He wore a gold helmet with intricate wings and carried a golden staff in his right arm. She was instantly curious as to why he wore an eye patch. When he gazed at her, she knew she had been caught staring and she looked at the others within the room. Three out of place looking men stood on the right of the steps to the throne, and two women stood on the left. Lily looked down at herself and noted how out of place and dirty she looked. She still wore the black pants and shirt she had upon going to S.H.I.E.L.D. "You could have at least told me to dress better." She whispered to Thor. She heard him snicker.
"Father." He said happily, climbing the steps. "I've come with questions concerning this lady, Lily Williams." He said as he gestured down toward Lily. Odin looked at his son with a small smile as if he already knew the answer. "And the answer is no."
Lily stared at the older woman, noting the similarity she had with Thor and deduced that she was his mother. The woman nodded at her, smiling politely. Not knowing why, Lily felt she needed to curtsy, hashing the curtsy too. She heard the men snickering on the right and gave then a quick glare that silenced them. But they continued to smile at her. Lily couldn't help feeling so enthralled by them and this city and wanted to explore and talk to them.
"She is not the daughter of Loki." Lily looked up at the King. Odin walked down the steps to Lily. She smiled at him nervously, hashing another curtsy. She had never been graced by such a presence. He laughed at her, "You, my dear, are quite similar in many ways, gaining your magical abilities from the same source and so have a slight connection because of it." Lily stared at him. "You seem very surprised." Lily teetered her head side to side. "That would explain why I am so much more powerful on Earth when he comes. The magic here is so much stronger and just so much more…" She threw her arms out in joy and amazement. "It's clean and all around unlike Earth." He smiled at her, enjoying her excitement. Something he had not seen since Thor's interrupted coronation to King status.
She gave him a level stare. "But why do we look so alike?" He touched her hair, the color changing to a purplish blue at his touch. "You share the same lineage as he. The Frost Giants look alike because they are naturally similar in appearance. You unknowingly hide it with your magic so that you belong." She stepped back from his touch and gazed as her hair began to turn back to black. "You are very gifted child." He said, smiling kindly at her. She smiled at him, grateful for what he told her. Though she had so many questions she wanted to ask him but she knew that she did not know if she was allowed.
"Let us eat!" One of the three men with red hair bellowed in excitement. The King, still smiling at Lily, pointed his staff at the collar she wore. "A heart like yours does not deserve to be chained." A small white light sparked between the staff and her collar. It then fell apart in pieces. She smiled kindly and held back the urge to hug him. "Lady Sif, if you would not mind accommodating to her needs." The woman beside Thor's mother stepped down and joined them, smiling kindly at Lily. "It would be my pleasure my King." She held out her hand for Lily to take. "I am Lady Sif."
Very sorry for the briefness on the descriptions. I do not know what places within Asgard are called or how to explain them exactly…!
Tell me if you know anything about Asgard please :D
Just going from what I saw in the movie Thor.
