I DO NOT OWN MARVEL IN ANY WAY!

Astrid's POV

"I yield, I yield!" I laughed as Thomas pinned me down. He smirked and helped me up, commenting, "Finally, I win a round with you." I dusted myself off and said, "Well, it has become late and I can't speak about you, but I am tired." Thomas nodded and said, "Come on, let's get some food in us then." As Thomas went to grab his phone, he started laughing.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"Text from Aurora. Two hours later, telling us to get our asses to the cafeteria. Looks like we missed group dinner a long time ago." He said, looking over at me. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Great. Well, looks like we're having dinner alone."
We walked to the cafeteria, which was somewhat empty as there were more people settling to sleep. I looked over as Thomas grabbed a cold wrap. I grabbed a yogurt and joined Thomas at one of the corner tables. "So, do you really think we can do this?" I asked in between spoonfuls.
"I'm hopeful that we can do this. I mean we've got a plan and pretty good leaders. Just look at Emily and Aurora, they've already become copies of Uncle Steve and Uncle Tony." Thomas said in between bites of his wrap.
"You've got a point about that." I chuckled, soon finishing up. "I'm just hesitant running into this Amora. I'm somewhat of an amateur with magic, how can I fight someone with my father's level of experience?"
"Hey." Thomas said as he finished his wrap. "Don't act like that. We all have seen you in training, you're no amateur. You've clever, brave, and a real peacekeeper. Something I think Uncle Loki would agree on."
"And I thought I was good at convincing others. You provide a bit of a challenge for me." I said with a chuckle as I got onto my feet. "Come, let us get to our rooms." Thomas nodded and got onto his feet, walking beside me as we returned to our rooms.
"I will see you tomorrow then." I said with a nod before heading inside. I heard the soft, "good night" from Thomas before I shut the door and headed to bed, falling asleep in a few minutes.

Midnight

Thomas's POV

I was jolted awake by the sounds of screaming and cries of "Come back!" and "Where?!" I immediately got to my feet, meeting Alex, Audun, and James in the hallway.
"You know what's happening?" James asked.
"It woke me up." I replied, looking down the hall, where agents started to move to. "But I think our answer is there." I led the way, moving with Alex and James to the rest of the crowd. When we got to the front, we were outside Astrid's room. The door was open, and looking inside, I saw Astrid crying, wrapping her arms around herself tightly. At her side was Aunt Darcy, gently trying to calm her down and repeating the phrase, "Its gonna be okay." At her other side was Emily and Aurora, looking at her in concern.
"What happened?" Audun asked nervously.
"We're trying to figure that out. We just woke up finding Astrid tossing and turning, screaming in her sleep. Aunt Darcy just woke her up. " Aurora said, looking over at us. "You just missed Fury and Uncle Phil in here, trying to get answers."
I looked over at Astrid, who kept trying to wipe away her tears and return her heart rate to normal.
"Easy there Princess. A nightmare like that, its clearly hurting you." I said softly. Astrid looked up at me, acknowledging the fact that I was there. She gave a small smile and looked back down. "It was awful." She said, her voice hoarse and soft, clearly sore from screaming and crying. Audun entered the room with a bottle of water. "Drink Astrid. It will definitely help you." Astrid nodded and said, "Thank you Cousin." She took a few sips from the bottle and handed it to Aunt Darcy. Emily looked out to the hall, where Agents continued to look inside and murmur on what happened. She sighed and shut the door, just leaving the team inside with Aunt Darcy.
"Do you think you can tell us what happened Astrid?" Aunt Darcy asked. Astrid nodded after a while and said, "I-I was trapped someplace dark. I knew father was there, I-I could hear him, barely."
"What was he saying? Maybe they found a way to communicate with us." Aurora asked hopefully.
"Find us. You need to be careful." She said, her eyes closed tightly. "Then...I think I heard Aunt Natasha." I felt my heart stop and looked over at Alex. His eyes glowed with hope as he replied, "W-what did she say?"
"Numbers? It-It made no sense." She said, pulling her knees up to her chest. I walked over to her and gently took her hand. "Don't push yourself too much Astrid. Just tell us what you can remember. You don't have to go into details."
"No, I have to help. I can't let them down." She said, making eye contact as she gently squeezed my hand.
"Do you know these numbers?" Audun asked curiously. Astrid closed her eyes again, seeming to focus.
"59.3293. 18.0686." She eventually said. Emily crossed her arms and said, "They could be coordinates. Aurora, can you look into it in the morning?" Aurora lightly nodded and said, "I can do it now, get this done much faster." Aunt Darcy promptly got up and said, "No, its late and you all should get more rest. Especially Astrid. And if you refuse, I can technically ground you."
Aurora frowned, but said, "Fine." I hesitantly left the room, looking back at Astrid one more time. Audun and Alex walked beside me, but we remained silent, too worried to say anything. When I returned to my room, I managed to fall into an uneasy sleep.
