Hi,

Another chapter, yay! And it's a long one! Now, I know that in the last chapter, both Tony and Jacinta came through the portal, but the guys don't know that yet. So, don't worry about that, it's just continuing from the previous chapter in a different POV.

Now, this is the end of Avengers...the next few chapters are just one shots until I've completed the story for Thor 2, which I writing now. Now, I can add that story into this one, or I can start a completely new one but it's up to you. If you want me to keep writing in this story, I will or start a new one, I will. But until I've done a few chapters of the next part, which is Hermione in Asgard and the start of Thor 2, I will be doing one shots and if you like to, requests are also available too. So, if you want Jacinta to experiment and turn Tony into a llama, I will...and couples are not happening straight away but are building up...slowburn readers...Steve still loves Peggy, so Jacinta will help him guide through that.

Oh, Mrs Weasley appears in this chapter...doing what she does best...yelling her kids...hehehehe...Also, thank you to overlordred for the Witches Three remark!

I own nothing but the story...Everything else belongs to J.K Rowling and Marvel.

Chapter 13

Ginny's POV

Jace and Tony had disappeared through the portal and I felt my heart lurch at the sight of Jacy disappearing. I turned to Romanoff, who was holding the sceptre, breaking the barrier of the Tesseract device. All of the sudden, the Chitauri started to fall. Like dominos, they all began dropping to the ground like flies and I gasped in delight as they all fell. I then looked to the sky, hoping that Jacy and Tony would come through, but there were no sign and I dropped to the ground, landing on my knees.

"Come on guys..." Romanoff pleaded, watching the skies with me.

"Close it…" I heard Steve order.

"No…she could come through…they'll come through…" Hermione had pleaded, but there was still no sign of them. I turned to Romanoff, who was looking at the sky, before turning to me and I nodded. She gave a sharp nod, before thrusting the sceptre through the blue barrier of the device, the tip of the weapon destroying the metal casing surrounding the Tesseract, causing it to crackle, shoot sparks and shut down. The blue portal light diminished, and I could see the portal begin to close.

Something caught my eye, and I stood up quickly, my heart thumping fast as I recognised Tony, in his Ironman suit falling through the closing portal, followed by another, whom I saw was Jacy. I gasped in relief, seeing my friends emerge from the portal.

"Son of a gun…" I heard Steve mutter and I knew that the group would be watching from the streets below.

"Wait, they're not slowing down…they keep falling…" Thor announced and I gasped as I realised that Tony and Jacy kept falling, and not flying. I saw that Jacy was unconscious, and I gasped again, raising my wand and pointing it at them, chanting, "Arresto Momentum!"

I felt the spell grip a hold on both Tony and Jacy, slowing them down slightly and I grunted as I walked to the ledge, wand raised in the air. The sound of a roar filled my ears and I sighed in relief as Hulk jumped from a building near me, jumping high into the air and catching Tony, pulling him close. Hulk crashed into a building as he cradled Tony, and then lifted off the building, landing with a crash on his back on the bridge below.

I only had Jacy to worry about then, and kept the spell, watching as she kept falling slowly. A red blur flew up from below me and I laughed in relief as Thor headed towards Jacy, catching her and I lowered my wand, watching as Thor flew back to the streets below. I turned to Romanoff, and she tilted her head, indicating to me that I should go. I waved my wand, feeling the pain from that familiar pulling sensation and apparated to the bridge, where both Hulk and Thor had landed, with Tony and Jacy in tow.

I groaned as I cracked into attendance, but I didn't have time to worry about any splinching body parts. I raced towards Thor, who was cradling Jacy in his arms. Tony was lying next to crouching Hulk and I turned around to see Hermione and Steve running towards us. Steve stopped, seeing Jacy, a pained expression on his face, before crouching down and ripping off Tony's face mask. Hermione leant down by Thor, taking Jacinta from him and cradling her.

"Are they breathing?" Steve asked from near Tony. I scanned over Jace's body and I saw no movement that could indicate that she was breathing.

"There is no movement…What about Tony?" I asked.

"No movement either…his arc reactor light has gone out." Steve informed us.

"She's so cold…" Hermione whispered.

Hermione then raised her wand, casting a silent spell of Jace and I watched as a bright blue light covered Jace. Still holding Jace, she did the same to Tony, and then turned back to Jace. Thor moved so that he was crouching next to Hermione and I dropped to my knees on the other side of Jace, grabbing her hand. Her hand was deathly cold, cold as ice and I gasped, taking deep breaths.

"A healing spell…wordless…I read about it in a healing book…but I don't know if it will work…" Hermione mumbled. "Shouldn't need it but Jace had to be her heroic self…"

"Would you expect anything less? She's the Chosen one after all…" I muttered, wiping my face as tears begin to fall.

"She hates that title…" Hermione looked to me.

"She hates all titles…" I smiled sadly, watching my unconscious friend. There was still no movement from Tony and I took a deep breath, trying to stop the sob that was threatening to escape. Suddenly Hulk roared and I heard a gasp. Tony was awake, gasping for breath and I gasped in relief as Hulk roared again. But there was still no movement from Jace.

"What the hell? What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me…" Tony gasped and I could him looking around.

"We won…" Steve told him, before standing up and walking over to us. He crouched down next to me and turned to Hermione. "But with a cost... Has there been any sign?"

Hermione shook her head sadly, holding Jacinta closer to her.

"Wait, where's Jacy?" Tony demanded to know as he tried to sit up. He groaned, his face showing pain as he pulled himself onto all fours and crawling over to us. He crouched next to Hermione, leaning back on his knees. "She saved me…she casted some spell on me and pushed me behind her, protecting me. I don't know what happened after that because I passed out from lack of oxygen in the suit. Please tell me she's alright..."

I shook my head sadly at him, and I got angry. "But this is impossible…she can't be dead. She's the bloody Mistress of Death. She's supposed to be immortal…this cannot be happening!"

"Ginny, it doesn't work that way." Hermione sighed, her eyes becoming red from her silent tears. I stood up quickly, frowning at her. I started to pace, their eyes on me.

"Well, then it bloody should…Let's summon death, we can do that can't we? Let's summon him and demand to bring her back. Bring her back and then bring her back again after I kill her for being an absolute bloody idiot!" I screamed.

"That will not be necessary…I passed out, not died…already did that twice, really not looking for a third time…" A voice mumbled and Hermione gasped in relief as Jace opened her eyes and looked around. Hermione then hugged her, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"On second thought, perhaps I will die a third time, if Hermione doesn't let me breath." Jace mumbled and Hermione gasped, pulling back.

"Sorry…" Hermione spoke, before slapping Jace in the back of the head. Jace screamed out and almost fell backwards as Hermione suddenly stood up, crossing her arms in front of her, wand sticking out. "You idiot! You just had to follow Tony into the portal, nearly giving me a bloody heart attack. You almost died as well and you nearly killed Tony with that bloody stunt, casting that spell. Have you not learned anything since our school years? Honestly!"

Jace moved into a sitting position, rubbing the back of her head. "I admit, it wasn't the best idea, but it was the idea at the time…and Tony was the one who came up with the stupid idea of putting the nuke in the portal. I was just trying to save him! Blame him!"

"Hey!" Tony protested but stopped when he received a glare from Hermione.

"Oh don't worry, I'll have words with Mr Stark but you have to promise that you will never pull a stunt like that again, or mark my words, I'll do exactly as Ginny says and death will rue the day he messed with me or worse, I'll do something that's worse." Hermione scolded.

"What's worse than summoning death?" I frowned, confused.

"I'll tell Mrs Weasley about Jace's little stunt..." Hermione threatened, a wicked smile on her face. I started laughing, knowing full well what my mother would do if she found out about Jace.

Jace paled at the thought of telling my mother. "Please don't tell her...Sorry Hermione...I promise not to save the life of a friend ever again."

Hermione glared, ready to speak, but was stopped by Thor.

"Hermione, be calm. Jacinta is safe and the war has been won. We are all safe." Thor murmured, cupping her cheek and staring at her. She smiled at him, before angry filled her face and she slapped him across the face.

"YOU ABSOLUTE HYPOCRITAL PANSY FACE. HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT LOKI?!" She yelled and Thor cringed, turning to Jacinta.

"Oh, don't look at me. I've just regained consciousness…you're on your own with that." She scoffed.

"Is it just me, or did I wake up in the middle of a soap opera drama?" Tony muttered, watching the exchange. "We won guys…we actually won…"

"You make it sound like we pulled of the impossible." I said. Thor pulled Hermione away from us, and I heard Hermione start yelling at him, talking about Loki and the fact that Loki was Eir's first love.

"Well, we fought an alien army…we kind of did…" Jacinta pointed out. "Am I to understand this right, but Hermione is the reincarnation with Eir, and Loki is Eir's first love? And then Thor is? I'm confused…"

"Must we really be talking about this? We just fought an alien army and you nearly died and we want to know more about Hermione's former self's love life?" I muttered, as Hermione was still yelling at Thor. She had, at some point, casted a silencing spell, so while we could see her arguing with Thor, we couldn't her or him.

"Why can't I hear them?" Steve asked. I noticed that he was holding Jace's hand and I smiled at the sight. Jace was leaning on him, tired and watching the sight before us.

"Silencing spell…" Both Jace and I muttered. The others frowned, confused but shrugged it off.

"Well, hurray guys…good job for winning the war…Let's just not come in tomorrow, like let's just have a day off…and if this is still going, we can butter up some popcorn and watch the show." Tony mumbled, as he moved, lying down on the ground and placing his hands over his stomach. "Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it."

I tilted my head. "I could eat…"

Steve smiled, before sighing. "We're not exactly done yet… We still have the problem of Loki."

I scoffed. "Oh he's fine…Hulk kind of gave him a bashing and then I stunned him and put ropes around him. He's weak, so he's not going anywhere…if he tries anything, Hulk can go smash his arse again."

Hulk grunted in agreement and Steve nodded. "That may be, but he needs to be brought to SHIELD."

Tony whined. "Awe…Loki sucks…shawarma is better…shawarma trumps Loki…"

"While food sounds better, Steve is right. We need to apprehend Loki before he gets away." Jace spoke. She then gestured to Hermione, who was now talking to Thor, and not shouting. Well, it looked like talking but I could be wrong. "Now, who wants to inform them?"

Hermione's POV

Gods are stubborn. Like really stubborn and really annoying and really petty and oh so pretty. I was angry, wild even but I couldn't deny the pull towards Thor, and his gorgeous body. Although I was mad, angry and wild at him, there was something about him that just made me want to run into his arms and hug him. He looked like an adorable naughty puppy, staring at me with those blue eyes as I ranted at him, yelling nonsense and carrying on, but I was angry. And very attracted to the god, I must admit but he will never know that.

We had just won the war, Jace was awake and well and here I was arguing with the god of thunder. Even though my brain knew that this really was not the best time to have a heart to heart, I knew that I needed to confront Thor before anything else would happen. Chances are, now the battle was over, Thor would leave, taking his brother with him and I would never get the chance to have a talk. I come to terms that I was now the reincarnation of Eir, considering that I was getting her memories and what's more, there was this unexplained connection I felt with Thor. And so, cue to me slapping him across the face, and Thor pulling me away from the group. After casting a silencing spell over us, I had words. Thor looked like a little puppy with that look on his face but despite his adorable face, I needed answers.

"Why didn't you tell me? I had to find out from the villain himself and to find that I broke his heart. Well, not me, but the old version of me. Why?" I demanded to know.

"We fell in love…and it was not the best way to join together but I could not help myself. You – I mean, Eir was like sunshine and I felt myself want you – her like I never wanted anybody. I imaged a life and it was wrong of me to allow that to happen. Just like it was wrong of me not to inform you of the true story. I feared that if I had told you everything, you would not believe it, just like you didn't believe that you were Eir's reincarnation and I would lose you again. I've already lost you once…I will not lose you again." Thor stated. "I see that you're accepting that you're Eir, well her reincarnation. I am glad."

I sighed. "Well, after receiving a memory, I realised that what you say must be true. I mean, how else could I have gained the memory of breaking Loki's heart?"

Thor frowned. "I assumed Loki told you. You say you remembered?"

I nodded. "I had a memory of us, I mean Eir and you riding horses through a forest. It was the day after a…um somewhat significant part of your relationship and Loki emerged from the forest and caught us…you in the act."

Thor frowned, before realisation hit him and he nodded. "You remembered…which means-"

"I will remember all…or so Loki has told me. He said that I will receive Eir's memories, well my memories so to speak. I realised that I am the reincarnation as receiving another's memories is impossible so it must mean that I am Eir, well a newer and younger version anyway." I informed him.

"I see…" He murmured. "There is something that I must ask you, if that is the case."

I frowned. "What?"

"Well, I wasn't sure if I should ask you this, but now that you have informed me of your memories returning and your acceptance of being Eir, perhaps you could accompany me when I take my brother back to Asgard. Despite Loki's crimes, he will still need a witness to tell the tale so to speak and I am sure that my mother would so wish to see you again. So, would you consider it? Accompanying me to Asgard?" He inquired.

I gasped, silently, my brain pondering over the question he had just asked. It was tempting, very tempting as I would get to see a world that I had only read about in my many books. But going with Thor meant I'd leave Jacinta and Ginny and everybody I knew back home. Thor sensed that I was struggling with the idea of accompanying him back to Asgard.

"I see that you need a few days to think over this. I shall not ponder you over it." Thor remarked.

I smiled at him. "Thanks…It really is something that I have to think over."

He nodded, looking down and frowning. He looked up, his face looking a little sad.

I sighed, wanting to take the frown off his face. "I think we got off on the wrong foot when we first met. After all, it's not every day you find out that you're the reincarnation of God of Thunder's first love. Perhaps, we should wipe the slate clean, and start again. Hi, my name is Hermione Granger, an Unspeakable and sometimes Auror and former student of the Gryffindor house of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the cleverest witch of all ages."

I held out my hand, offering it to him and he smiled, taking it. "Lady Hermione, I am Thor Odinson, Prince and future king of Asgard, God of Lightning and Warrior of Asgard. It is my pleasure."

He bowed, kissing my hand before standing up straight again. The sound of clapping interrupted the moment and I turned to see that Tony, Hulk, Steve – who was holding up Jace and Ginny all staring at us. I remembered the silencing spell I cast and I waved my wand over the two of us, muttering the counter spell and walking up to the group.

"Oh, please don't stop…it was just getting entertaining. Not that I could hear a word you were saying but still, let's watch two lovebirds fall in love in the middle of the street where there's dead aliens." Tony spoke and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Are you done? Because we have a god to catch…sorry Thor." Jace muttered. Thor frowned, wondering what she was on about.

I nodded. "We are…sorry about that…what can I say? I couldn't resist."

0*0*0*0*0

We had managed to make our way into Stark Tower, and to where Loki was. Romanoff and Barton had joined us, and we all stood in front of Loki, who was crawling his way up the stairs. The spells that Ginny said she had placed on him must have worn off, but he was still weak. I stood next to Thor, wand at the ready. Jace was standing between Tony and Steve, whereas Ginny was standing next to Tony and a crouching Barton, who had his bow raised and Romanoff stood on the other side of Thor, holding the sceptre. Hulk stood behind us all, his eyes fixed on Loki, who was still crawling up the concrete stairs inside the apartment of Stark Tower.

He stopped, turning around and I could see fear in his eyes, and he held up his hands in a surrendering position. His eyes flickered towards mine, and he looked down in shame, before looking up again.

"If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now…" He murmured.

Jace scoffed. "Sorry, fresh out of whiskey…"

Tony smirked at Jace's remark and Thor stepped forwards, grabbing his brother by the arm and lifting him to his feet. Jace waved the elder wand over Loki's wrists, and he gasped as a pair of think metal cuffs emerged, and he tried to free himself of them.

"Non-magical handcuffs…something that Fury came up with and you get the be the first one to try them. I don't know why Fury didn't think to put them on in the first place, but alas, mistakes happen." Jace told him.

"You think you're so clever and so brave." Loki sneered. "That will be your undoing one day, Jacinta. You think you can save them all but in the end, you will fail."

"Oh shut up…" Ginny snapped, waving her wand at him. He tried to speak but he found that he couldn't and I chuckled lightly, knowing that she casted a voiceless spell on him. The others soon caught on about the spell and Tony laughed.

Thor sighed, starting to pull a voiceless Loki in tow, when Jacinta stopped him. I frowned as Jace pointed her wand at him, and I think we all were curious as to what would happen next. Loki frowned, tilting his head back, a look of fear on his face.

"Loki, be calm." She began before suddenly she chanted, "Legilimens!"

Both she and Loki gasped, looking falling to his knees as Jacinta entered his mind. Suddenly, not a moment later, she lowered her wand, staggering as she gasped for breath and I walked to her, holding her up.

"What the hell was that?" Barton asked, his arrow now pointed at Jace.

"Agent Barton, lower your bow. It's a spell that allows us to enter someone's mind. It brings no harm. What did you see?" I asked, wondering why she attempted the spell.

"Earlier, I saw a glimpse, something that I informed Thor about. It was like Loki was possessed. I wanted to do the spell to make sure." She informed us. "He's been possessed. But by who, I do not know. This, all of this, is part of something bigger. Loki was just a pawn."

I saw a look pass between Thor and Jacinta and I frowned, knowing that there was more to the story than Jacinta was telling us. I knew that she would eventually tell me but for now, it was buried. But Barton was not having any of it. I couldn't blame the agent though; he was put under a mind control spell by Loki himself. If Loki was possessed, then does that make him innocent? Loki looked shamed at the revelation, and I wondered if Jacinta was right. Loki also looked guilty and I sighed, feeling a little sorry for him.

"Are you saying that Loki is not a fault? He brought an alien army to Earth! How can he not be at fault?" Barton snapped but he lowered his wand.

"An answer I shall found out, when my brother faces justice for his actions on Asgard." Thor answered. He nodded to Jacinta, and continued pulling Loki by the arm as he headed towards the elevator, which by some miracle was still working, despite the damage. Romanoff and Barton followed Thor, Barton scowling and muttering to himself, giving Jace looks as he left and Romanoff holding the sceptre, a sceptical look on her face.

Hulk grunted beginning his transformation back into Bruce. He shrinked, slowing turning back until Bruce was staring at us, holding up his now loose pants. Ginny acted quickly, waving her wand over him and he was then suddenly dressed in a pair of pants and a cotton shirt. He nodded gratefully at her and clasped his hands together. We stood in a circle Tony, Steve, Jace, Ginny and myself.

"So…that statement about Loki, is it true?" Steve asked, looking at Jacinta.

She nodded. "Yes. I didn't see much, but there is someone behind all of this. He didn't do it just because he wanted to be king. He did because he was forced to. By whom? I haven't got a clue. But we've stopped it because we've close the portal. Whatever their plan was, it's not in play anymore."

Jace gave me a look, and I got her notion. She knew more, but didn't want to say anything in front of the others. She gave the same look to Ginny and Ginny nodded slightly, not letting the others see her. Steve frowned, but nodded his head in acceptance.

"So, what do we do now?" Ginny asked, changing the subject.

Tony shrugged, the statement about Loki being possessed gone from his mind. "Shawarma?"

Two days Later

It wasn't until later I found out from Jacinta that there was more coming. She had gathered Thor, Ginny and myself into a small room at the New York SHIELD base and informed us that Loki had been possessed by a man, more like a large purple figure that according to Jacinta, was called Thanos. Thor had frozen at the sound of the name and I became confused. I had never heard of the name Thanos and it was curious as to why he would possess Loki. Thor had informed us that Thanos was the name of a supreme being that saw himself as a god. Thor wanted to say more, but he too was confused at the information about Loki being possessed by the being. But, that wasn't the only trouble we had coming our way.

Fury had then arrived, bring us all into a small conference room on high floor. The destruction of New York could be seen from the windows, and on the other side, was agents running around, organising help to rebuild the city. The building was of a similar design of the hellicarrier, which was still running and operating and it was in that conference room, at the SHIELD building that the trouble had started. Loki was placed in another cell on one of the lower levels of the building and one that had been charmed by Jacinta to stop Loki from escaping, but also under constant surveillance. Now that it was knowledge that Loki might have been possessed, Fury wanted answers, but Loki was tight-lipped and not saying anything, as well as Thor and Jacinta, the two that had witnessed Loki being his normal self. Loki kept quite not because of the spell that was cast on by Ginny, but every time there was questioning, Loki would instead taunt Fury and so, a muffle was placed on him, covering his mouth entirely and stopping him from speaking. It also prohibited him from casting magic, along with the cuffs and so, Loki sat staring at the floor in the cell.

No, the trouble wasn't Loki but a very furious letter from a very furious mother in the form of a very angry Howler. Two days after the battle, and apprehending Loki, we all sat at the long rectangular table inside the conference room, with Fury standing at the head of the table, and Maria Hill was watching from the television that was implanted on the wall behind him. Fury going over the details of both Thor's and Loki's department, which was commencing later on in the day. I was still struggling over the decision to join Thor, who was looking at me every chance he got. I had told Jacinta and Ginny of his desire for me to join him and while they were hesitant to see me go, they knew that I would regret the decision not to go. I still hadn't made up my mind as of yet, but I was coming close to a decision.

"As we are doing this in broad daylight, and in the middle of Central Park, obviously crowd control is a big issue. Potter, is there some way you can hide the fact that we're about to send two gods into space? Is there some sort of mumbo jumbo spell you can cast to keep it away from prying eyes?" Fury inquired, turning to Jacinta, who was sitting near the head of the table and Steve was next to her. Across from her, was Romanoff, who was leaning forward with her hands clasped together.

Jacinta, who was wearing a pair of navy blue jeans, a white singlet, a plaid buttoned up shirt on top and a pair of grey leather boots, gave him a look, twirling her ring on her finger. "I'm sure I can come up with something. Keep the muggles at bay."

He nodded, turning to Ginny, who sat in between Barton and Romanoff. "Miss Weasley, I understand that you'll be joining Barton and Romanoff on their next mission after the mission this afternoon. I have confirmed it with Kingsley. SHIELD is lucky to have you."

Ginny, who was also wearing jeans, a grey shirt with red sleeves and converses, nodded her head. "Well, I don't think I could go back to being whatever it was I was being before taking over Ron's role, so I'm looking forward to whatever Romanoff and Barton have planned."

Fury had asked us if we wanted to join SHIELD on a permanent basis. While I was still thinking over the option, it was a shock when Ginny had informed us that she was heading off to Merlin knows where with Romanoff, whom I now called Natasha, and Barton, who was still a bit sceptical of us. However, he had warmed up to Ginny, and had asked her to accompany him on his next mission with Natasha, and Ginny accepted. Jacinta too, was joining SHIELD, leaving with Steve to Washington. I was surprised, but I knew that they had become fast friends and I knew that she would keep him safe, but also, he would keep her grounded. I also knew that Jacinta would help him adapt to the new world. Tony had offered me a place with him and Bruce, asking me to join as his lab assistant. I now needed to make a decision as I already had an offer from both Fury and Thor, and now Tony.

Times had changed, and Kingsley understood our decision to leave our jobs in the wizarding world and take up the roles of being the Witches Three. News had broken out all over the world about the amazing witches that help a group of superheroes save New York from aliens and so far, the muggle society was accepting us, for now. We still received backlash over many praises, but now that the world knew about us girls, we decided to keep it going. And by everyone knowing, it meant the wizarding world knew as well. Which brings us to the howler from a very mad witch.

"Ginny will be a good asset to our team, and I can't wait to work with her." Barton said. Ginny smiled at him and leant back in her chair. As she was facing the windows and Jace, Steve and I had our backs to the windows, she could see the sky. She frowned, tilting her head sideways before her eyes went wide. I turned my chair around to look in her direction and I too felt my eyes widen at the sight of a very familiar owl heading our way. I turned back around, and stood up, my hands touching the table and I gulped. I was wearing a printed pencil skirt that came just under my knees, a black ruffled blouse and black stiletto peep-toe pumps. My hair was pulled back into a bun and I had my ring and a silver watch on, along with the protection charm necklace that I had yet to take off but didn't. The others also had yet to take off theirs, but they didn't either. Jacinta turned her chair around to face the large ceiling to floor windows and stood up quickly.

"Oh fuck…is that what I think it is?" She stammered, walking to the windows. "Ginny, you did assure your mum that we were alright, did you not? I mean, you didn't tell her about me almost dying, didn't you?"

"No…I told Ron, he wasn't happy but Mum…It must have slipped my mind…But then again, Ron tells mum everything…" Ginny mumbled, her face paling at the sight.

"Oh Ginny…" I muttered. The owl was coming closer and I saw that the others were now staring in the same direction. Tony was seated next to Barton, with Bruce standing behind Tony. Thor was also standing next to Bruce, leaning against the glass windows that were facing the agents and their computers. Suddenly, all were looking in the direction of the incoming owl.

"Is that an owl?" Tony asked.

"Yeah…we kind of use them for communication, you know sending letters and parcels and what not…" Ginny explained.

"Like pigeon carriers?" Steve asked.

"Oh no…Owls are much more temperamental and they bite…a lot." Jacinta spoke. "Trust me, a bite from an owl is the worse. Never piss off an owl."

We all watched as the owl flew towards us, before suddenly, it crashed through the glass windows, causing everyone to jump in shock, reacting in a panic at the owl, and in surprise that something that small could break the glass. Ginny then stood up, waving her wand at the window, repairing it and the owl got up, flying around the conference room before crashing again on the rectangular table, a red letter in his beak.

"Oh Errol…you're getting too old for this. I always say to Mum she needs to find another owl to help him but she never does." Ginny muttered, stroking the owl. Errol hooted at her, as if he was annoyed by her statement. Ginny then paled at the sight of the red letter, and looked to Jace and I, in which our faces started to pale.

"So you actually use owls to send letters? Well, imagine that…" Tony said. "What's wrong?"

"Is that I think it is? Because if it is, I am not opening it." Jacinta waved her arms in front of her shaking her head. "Nope….no…no, nope…nada…not happening…"

"Oh that's too bad, because guess what? It's addressed to all three of us. So, one of us has to open it." Ginny stammered, before chucking the letter to me. "You open it Hermione!"

"Why me?!" I yelled, holding the letter in my hands. It started to hum and I knew that if someone didn't open it soon, it would explode and that was much worse. I sat down, staring at the other two traitors, who had also sat down.

"Because you're the sensible one…" Jacinta remarked. Ginny nodded her head in agreement and I scoffed in annoyance.

I sighed. "Fine…but the both of you owe me. Brace yourselves everyone. This is no ordinary letter. It's a howler, a letter that allows witches to yell at people. So, with that, you're about to hear a very angry witch yell at all three of us."

"Who?" Fury wondered. Agent Hill, who was on the television monitor behind him was staring at us intensely, like she was expecting something or someone to blow up. Needless to say, something will blow up, but not in the way she was thinking.

"My mother…" Ginny told him. I sighed, taking a deep breath before breaking the wax seal and opening it slightly. All of the sudden, it flew out of my hand and hovered in the air in the middle of the table and I could only pray that the room was soundproof as the voice of a very angry Mrs Molly Weasley filled the room.

"GINERVA WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL US ABOUT NEW YORK! YOUR FATHER HAD TO FIND OUT FROM KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT THAT YOU WERE IN NEW YORK HELPING THE AMERICANS SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE ALIENS! YOUR BROTHER HAD TO ASSURE US THAT YOU WOULD BE FINE AND THEN WE SEE YOU ON THE TELEVISION DEVICE THAT YOU WERE USING MAGIC! HAVE I NOT TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING?! OH, AND DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT JACINTA POTTER, AND YOU HERMIONE GRANGER! WE SAW YOU BOTH, RISKING YOUR LIVES TO SAVE THE MUGGLES!

We are grateful for the work you've done and will continue to be. Perhaps one day, we can have you over for tea. Good day."

There was silence as the howler poked its paper tongue at me and then ripped itself up. I looked to Ginny and Jace, who were sitting in their chairs, with Ginny having a guilty look on her face and Jace staring at the spot where the howler ripped itself up in shock. Shock was also on the faces of everyone.

Tony cleared his throat. "Remind me never to get on your mother's bad side Ginevra."

Jacinta's POV

After the howler incident, things moved pretty quickly. The team was still in shock at the fact that Mrs Weasley yelled at the three of us from a letter but we didn't worry about that as we had more pressing things to worry about. Thor's and Loki's departure from Central Park, New York City. We all gather into separate vehicles, with Ginny accompanying Barton and Tasha in a standard SHIELD car, Hermione with Thor and Loki in a SHIELD truck and myself on the back of Steve's motorcycle. I don't know what possessed me to jump on the back of his bike, but I did, and conjured a helmet for myself, and chucked on my leather jacket. We drove away from the SHIELD building and headed drove through the ruined streets heading to Central Park. The clean-up had begun and I could see many muggles helping out others with cleaning the streets as we drove through them. We then arrived to our destination, and Steve pulled the bike to a stop, hopping off first and then helping me. He blushed as he did, and I chuckled at his cuteness. We had become friends, as well as Tony and myself, but Steve and I more so. I fiddled with the straps of my shoulder bag, which had not only my stuff in it but Steve's duffel bag as well as we were doing a road trip to Washington, making the most of the leave of absence, after the departure of Thor and Loki…and Hermione.

The other cars began to arrive and I turned to the truck and watched as Hermione emerged from the truck, a frown on her face. Thor and Loki emerged from behind her, along with several SHIELD agents. They began to walk to the edge of a bridge overlooking the lake and I noticed that Tony, Bruce, Steve and the assassins were following them. I walked over to Hermione, pulling her away from the others as they walked. Ginny stayed back with us, her arms crossed over her chest. She was wearing her denim jacket and also had a bag strapped over her shoulder that was full of her stuff. Hermione had a cardigan over her skirt and blouse and also her beaded bag. She was ready to leave, whether she knew it or not.

"Look, I know you. You'll regret not going. You curious about Asgard and your former life, and like I said, I know. So go. Go and find out about your past self, and you. You're the reincarnation of a goddess and you need to know just what that means. So go…take the chance. Don't worry about me. Trust me, Mrs Weasley now has it out for me so I expect that she will be keeping a close eye on both Ginny and I." I stated, and Hermione giggled. "But don't worry. We'll be okay. We'll miss you heaps but you need to do this."

"I do, don't I? But you have to promise me that you'll be safe. Don't do anything rash or I will come back and hex you." She mumbled, her eyes watering.

Ginny pulled out her wand and waved it over all three of us. We were then suddenly cloaked in a bright white light and I felt a tug inside of me and I turned to Ginny.

"A sense spell of some sort. Bill cast it on Ron, George, Charlie and myself. It's a spell that let's us know when we're hurt or in pain, or we need one another. So if one of us gets hurt, we will feel a pull and suddenly we'll know if we need each other. And then we find ways to get to each other. So, if Jace gets hurt, we feel it and then we apparate or in your case, you come down from Asgard to kick her arse." Ginny explained.

"Hey!" I protested. "I don't always get into trouble.

Hermione gave me a look. "Jace, trouble follow you..."

I shrugged. "True...You be safe yeah?"

I squeezed her hand and she nodded. Ginny smiled at her and we all hugged each other, getting into a group hug. After what seemed like hours but it was only minutes, we broke apart, holding each other's hands and then began walking to the group. They were assembling some sort of device, and I looked around, watching for muggles. I noticed that there were muggles starting to stop, staring at us and I pulled out the Elder wand from my harness that was strapped to my wrist and waved it above me, casting a muggle repelling charm and only keeping the group and the agents in the loop, so to speak.

Thor and Loki stood on a stone bridge, a circle of carvings beneath their feet and they both held in their hands the device that was powered by the Tesseract. It was design by Dr Selvig, Tony and Bruce, and Hermione, who had helped. Fury had let Thor take the Tesseract back with him, as it was dangerous to be left here on Earth. If it was in the hands of Thor and Asgard, it would be kept safe from the others and from the being that I had seen in Loki's mind. It was a dumb idea, for sure, but I had to be sure. Loki was a pawn and the being I saw was the reason behind it all. I knew that it would not be the last time I would see him. I felt bad for Loki, but still angry at him. While he was a pawn, it didn't justify his actions. It wouldn't be the last time I'd see him again too.

We all stood in a line, and watch as Thor grabbed one end, and Loki the other. Thor then turned to Hermione, and she nodded. I smiled then, as Thor's face light up so brightly.

Hermione walked over to him, standing next to him, and he wrapped the arm holding his hammer around her. Loki, who still wore the gag on his mouth and handcuffs, looked at her in surprise as did the rest of the group.

"Wait, Witchy is going with Thor?" Tony pouted. "But I want her."

"Tony, she's the reincarnation of Thor's long lost love and was a goddess. Sorry, but in curiosity won in the end." Ginny explained.

"You have us two Tony, so you'll always have a witch on hand. And Hermione will be okay." I assured him and he smiled. "But Thor better look after her, because if he doesn't, I don't care how, I will come to Asgard and kick his godly arse if something happens to her."

Thor then turned to me. "You have my word nothing will happen to her. That is a promise I make to you, Lady Jacinta, The Sorceress. You and the Lady Ginevra are welcomed to Asgard when the bridge is rebuilt. Until then, take care."

He nodded to the group, saying a silent goodbye to all and winked at me. I smiled, and turned to Hermione. My eyes started to burn, tears threatening to fall and I could tell that she too was having trouble keeping it in. Everyone had gotten over the shock, and I saw Tasha giving a small wave to her, and Steve tilting his head. Tony smiled, waving to her as did Bruce. I turned to Loki, and he looked troubled. His eyes then found mine and I saw a small flash of green and saw him smirk, even with the gag on his face. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Hermione, as Ginny gripped my arm.

Thor then activated the device, and suddenly, the trio were cased in blue light, creating a mine portal of some sort and then, as soon as it started, they were gone, vanished into the air. After the blue light diminished, we all turned to each other, nodding our goodbyes. I knew that it wouldn't be the last I'd see of them, as it was goodbye for now. I turned to Ginny, hugging her tight and she hugged me tight. We broke apart and she turned to Tasha, who gave me a small wave. I watched as they left and turned to Steve, who was shaking Tony's hand. Bruce walked past me, holding a bag and I jumped him, hugging him tight. He chuckled.

"You and Ginny are the same." He spoke, hugging me. We broke apart and I turned to Tony, who looked at me sadly.

"Are you sure you don't want to come and help me rebuild the tower? I'm designing an entire floor for just you and Ginny…" He mumbled.

I hugged him, throwing my arms around him. "Not today, but keep at it. There may come a time when I will need that floor and whiskey too…"

We broke apart and he nodded, clapping me on the back. The sound of a car horn made us turn and I saw that Ginny was waving from the window. I knew that she would be okay. Tony smiled at me once more, and then jumped into his Porsche, with Bruce sitting in the passenger seat. They waved to both Steve and I as they drove off. I turned to Steve and together we walked to the bike, getting on. I put on the helmet and wrapped my arms around Steve's waist. Steve touched my hand, before starting up the bike, taking off and driving out of the park.

"So, where to now?" I asked.

"Ever been to Brooklyn?" He shouted over the wind.

"No…"

"Trust me Jace, you're gonna like it."

I smiled at his enthusiasm and leant my head against his back. I couldn't wait to start the next adventure and I had a feeling that it wouldn't be my last. Well, if that's the case there is only one thing I wanted to say.

Bring. It. On.
