Part of the Woman of Steel Series - not a sequel to Amazon Steel

Diana and Kara travel to Asgard to ask for Odin's help and Kara is excited she might meet Thor, but she might get more than she bargained for.

Asgard,

Throne room,

A white and golden swirl started in the middle of the room, slowly extending until it was large enough for two people to go through it, side by side. The sound of swords being drawn was almost deafening as the first figure emerged from the white and gold swirl, closely followed by four more.

"Stand down," the booming voice resounded from the throne. A tall, imposing man, stood up from his golden throne and calmly made his way down the short flight of stairs to meet the five women standing in front of the now fading swirl. All of them were armed with swords and daggers and looking around like seasoned warriors, undisguisedly assessing their opponent and surroundings.

The guards stepped back, sheathing their swords back in their dark scabbards. Two ravens landed neatly on each of his shoulders, glaring at the women.

"Welcome to Asgard, Shieldmaidens." Odin smiled at them, his good eye crinkling slightly. "To what do I owe the visit?"

The dark-haired woman standing in the middle, the tallest of them all, stepped forward and opened her mouth to speak.

"Father!"

Her mouth closed with an audible click and everyone turned around at the angry sounding voice. A tall, heavily muscled blond man stormed inside the throne room, his dark blue eyes stormy and his fists clenched at his sides. He looked like he was ready for a fistfight.

Odin sighed. "Thor… I'm in the middle of something. I'm sure we can discuss whatever's troubling you later."

"Troubling me?" The God of Thunder growled, his long, partially braided hair falling on his broad shoulders. "You let him come back!" His fists clenched harder, hard muscles standing out. "Again!"

The ravens took off from Odin's shoulders at the booming shout of the gigantic man, quickly escaping to stand on the throne and watch from a safe distance. The guards surrounding the women took several steps back, but the women remained impassive.

Odin glared at his ravens, his eternal companions, Huginn and Muninn. "Cowards…"

Huginn cawed at him, flapping its wings for emphasis. Odin sighed. He noticed how the blonde woman moved closer to the dark-haired warrior, carefully half-shielding the shorthaired redhead behind her. The other two warriors, a dark-skinned woman, and a strawberry blonde touched the hilts of their swords, their eyes trained on his enraged son.

"He's not in Asgard," Odin replied softly, knowing why his favorite son was angry.

"No, he's in Midgard!" Thor stomped closer, blue eyes flashing. "He was supposed to be exiled in Muspelheim, where he belongs!"

"Thor…"

"You know if he's in Midgard, then he's up to something!" Thor removed his famous hammer from his belt loop and pointed it to his father, accusingly. "You knew he's been hiding there, and you did nothing!"

Odin didn't even flinch when the magical hammer hit one of the tall marble columns, shattering it, large chunks of marble flying everywhere.

One of the guards closer to it scream when he saw a massive chunk flying at him with deadly speed. There was no way he could escape getting smashed by it.

Shaken out of his angry stupor by the guard's scream, Thor cursed under his breath, running as fast as he could to tackle the hapless guard out of the way. At the same time, the dark-haired woman moved, sprinting at godly speed to catch the large section of the column. Thor threw himself over the guard, protecting him with his own body and the tall woman caught the marble piece with both arms, just as it was about fall over both men.

Thor glanced over his shoulder, his eyes traveling up the length of the chunk of marble being lowered to the ground, by his side. His eyes kept following up, examining the strong arms and broad shoulders and the beautiful face of the woman slowly straightening to her full height.

Scrambling to his feet faster than Odin had ever seen him move, the gigantic man smiled charmingly at the stunning woman before him. "You're strong…" He breathed out, fascinated.

The quirk of an amused dark eyebrow was his only answer.

##

"You'll have to excuse my son. He's a bit rowdy but he means well," Odin said, dusting a bit of marble from the red velvety sleeve covering his armored arm.

Kara glared at the massive man staring at Diana as if she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Well, she was, she couldn't blame him there, but he shouldn't be staring at her like that. It was rude and inappropriate and… She growled softly, her fists clenching.

She had been so excited about meeting the God of Thunder, but now that he was staring at Diana like that, she wasn't sure she wanted to be his friend anymore.

Behind her, Alex smirked at Nesba, "She's going to punch him," she whispered.

Kara glared at her sister. "I'm not going to punch the God of Thunder," Kara gritted out.

But Alex could see the beginning of orange specks in her eyes, always the telltale that she was getting angry. Catching Nesba's eye, the redhead signaled five with her hand. Nesba rolled her eyes but nodded.

Alex grinned, following her sister with her eyes as she stomped to where Diana was, standing beside her with her arms crossed.

"We don't have many strong women around here," Thor said, shifting closer to the Amazon Princess, completely ignoring Kara.

Diana smiled, sensing the blonde's presence from very close by. "I highly doubt that. Your shieldmaiden are fierce warriors."

Thor stepped closer. "Fierce, yes, but strong like you… No." He smiled charmingly at her, lifting his hand to touch her arm.

His fingers all but brushed the fine hairs of her arm when a solid fist connected with his jaw, sending him flying several feet back. The massive man crashed hard against a nearby column, breaking it in half. His body smashed violently against the wall behind it, carving a deep dent in it, debris and dust flying everywhere.

"I'm strong too," Kara gritted out. He may be the Norse God of Thunder, but she was a Kryptonian under a yellow sun – an angry Kryptonian now.

Diana gaped at Kara, clearly shocked by her reaction.

"What? He was touching you," Kara grumbled, crossing her arms again. "I mean… You know, without permission… In a creepy kind of way…"

Diana's eyes softened. "You're jealous…" she mumbled, marveled. Her hand reached out to touch the blonde's arm.

"Ppppffff… I am not, no!" Kara shifted nervously from one foot to another, not daring to look at Diana. The warmth spreading from her arm was not helping her growing blush. She wasn't jealous. Right?

"Oh, she's feisty. I like her." Odin smiled lovingly at the blonde.

Diana smirked at the Norse god.

Alex coughed. "Totally saw that coming…" She extended her free hand to Nesba.

Nesba scowled deeply, removing five drachmas from her belt pouch and slapping them on the redhead's outstretched hand.

"You were betting on it?" Kayo growled at them. "This could get us in a lot of trouble!"

Alex tried to look chagrined, but it didn't quite come out that way. Kayo rolled her eyes.

##

Thor stumbled out from the dent on the wall with a loud grunt. Glaring at the blonde, he outstretched his hand, silently calling on Mjölnir, his faithful hammer that had fallen from his hand when his body hit the hard column.

Mjölnir flew straight at his hand. Without missing a beat, Thor threw at Kara, smirking.

Squinting her eyes Kara, saw the heavy looking hammer flying straight at her.

"You might want to get out of the way," Odin warned. However, instead of urgency, there was only amusement in his voice.

"Kara…"

Kara heard Diana's voice, felt the strong hand grip her arm, felt the pull, but she didn't budge. Uncrossing her arms as the hammer neared her chest, she caught it one-handed, one inch from hitting her, feeling Diana's hand cover her own hand as her fingers wrapped around the handle.

Looking up at Diana, she could see the relief in her eyes. Winking at the Amazon, she took a moment to inspect it, admiring the intricated symbols carved on it. Raising her eyes up from the hammer, Kara scowled, barely registering the shocked look on the Norse god's face before throwing it back at him.

"Don't you know it's not polite to throw things at a lady?" She growled.

Gaping, Thor was so baffled with what just happened that he barely caught the hammer. "Who are you? How…" The mighty God of Thunder stared at his hammer, dumbfound. "That's impossible! Mjölnir should weigh a mountain on anyone else's hands but mine!"

Kara crossed her arms again, a smug look on her beautiful face. "Light as a feather." She heard Diana's snicker beside her.

Furious, Thor raised the hammer high above his head, calling on the power of Thunder. Blue lightning descended on the hammer, energizing it. Thor allowed the power of the lightning to encircle him until his whole body was enveloped by it, his eyes glowing bright blue. Aiming the hammer at Kara, Thor unleashed the power of Thunder almost as if he was striking out with a whip.

Clenching her fists, Kara shot a blast of her heat vision, stopping the lightning beam midway. Thor grunted, forcing more power from the hammer, but Kara stepped forward, holding her beam of heat vision steady. Over the years, she had learned to control its power and flux better, making it last longer and without exerting herself and, consequently, solar flaring.

Thor lowered the hammer without warning, stopping the energy flow immediately and Kara did the same. With her eyes still glowing red, Kara glared at him.

Frowning, the tall man scratched his beard, avoiding the tiny braids that decorated it. Turning to face his father, his eyes returned to its normal color. "Is there something you want to tell me, father?"

Odin raised a white, bushy eyebrow at his son. "I don't think so, why?"

"Are you sure about that? Because after this standoff it's easy to see what's going on here, father!"

Odin stared at him, confused. "And what is that?"

Thor took a step forward, point the hammer at his father for the second time that day. "She's my sister! My twin!"

Odin would raise both eyebrows, but one was hidden by the eye patch covering his right eye. "What?"

##

"Didn't you think I would notice after all this?" Thor spat. "Why? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell I have a twin, a sister?" He turned to look at Kara. "Did you know about this?"

Odin sighed, closing his one good eye in frustration and grumbling under his breath.

Kara's eyes returned to their normal color at once, her eyes growing. "What? No! I—"

Before she could finish her sentence, strong, muscular arms wrapped around her in a bone-crushing hug that lifted her off her feet. "Sister…"

Alex watched the scene before her, stunned. "That, I didn't see coming."

"Wait! I'm not—"

Thor held her closer, spinning her around and laughing, his eyes shining with excitement. "I have a twin!" He put her down carefully and touched her cheek lovingly. "We have so much to talk about! Where have you been all this time? I—" He stopped suddenly, spinning around to glare at his father, worry in his voice. "Does mom know about this? By Yggdrasil, you have a lot of explaining to do."

Strong hands wrapped around his wrists in a vice-like grip, forcing him away from Kara. Diana dropped a possessive arm around Kara's shoulders, pulling her closer. "Enough hugging," Diana smirked at him, shooting him a meaningful look.

Thor frowned, clearly trying to understand what Diana wasn't telling him. A deep blush covered all his face and neck, causing a very striking effect. "I would never… I mean, I didn't know you and her, that… You know… But she's my sister and I didn't know that and… I would never do that to my twin! You're a sister to me too!"

"See, sweet Kara, he blushes and rambles like you. Definitely twins." Diana grinned at Kara.

"Don't do that!" Kara groaned, hiding her face in the curve of the older woman's neck. "We're not siblings!" Her voice sounded muffled and Diana chuckled.

"We must celebrate, sister!" Thor grinned. "I don't even know your name!"

Kara groaned, resigned. "Kara," came the muffled response.

"Kara," he repeated, smiling. "I like it! Come, sister, let's celebrate with a mug of Asgard's finest ale!"

"Ale?" Alex perked up immediately, walking to where her sister was.

Thor blinked at her. "And you are?"

Alex pointed to the hiding Kryptonian. "Her sister." She smirked at the god. "And where she goes, I go."

"Sister?" He looked confused. "We really need to talk." He caught Nesba's surly form standing behind Alex. "And you?"

"Her guard and Amazon Sister."

Thor grinned brightly. "Amazons? By Yggdrasil, this is a great day! Come, you're all my guests!"

"Go," Diana whispered in her hear.

"But—"

"Please," Diana pleaded softly, switching to Kryptonese. "I need to talk to Odin and if he stays here, he won't shut up."

Kara huffed and Diana smiled down at her, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. Kara melted into the kiss, forgetting where she was until she heard a loud clear of throat. She groaned unhappily when Diana pulled away.

"I'll be there soon."

"Promise?"

"I promise." Diana kissed the tip of her nose, tenderly. "Just be careful about the ale here. Remember, this is different from the World of Man."

Kara smiled, touching her chest. "I'll be careful. Besides, Alex will be there with me."

Diana nodded, smirking. "That's what worries me. Last time you got drunk, Alex was there, and she wasn't faring any better."

Kara chuckled. "And Nesba will be there too. And Kayo."

Diana peaked at the unsuspecting Kayo. "Kayo, yes…"

Kara shook her head and stole a kiss from the brunette. "For the road."

Diana grinned and called out to Kayo, talking to her in hushed tones as Kara was once again engulfed in Thor's embrace.

"I'm not—" She was about to start but Alex's dead serious eyes stopped her mid-sentence. There was no stopping Alex from tasting the Asgardian ale now, and she was going to regret this, she just knew it.

Odin shook his head, slowly walking back to his throne, Huginn and Muninn flying off for a moment, before settling back on his shoulders. "You two are in trouble for not giving me any foresight to this."

The ravens cawed defensively.

"Hush. We'll talk later." He shook his head at his favorite son's antics, chuckling softly. "Freya is going to love this one."

##

Finally alone with the tall Amazon, Odin smiled at her. "Walk with me," he asked softly. "My wife is waiting for us."

"You were expecting us." It wasn't a question.

Odin nodded. "I was, Diana, daughter of Hippolyta." He smiled again, leading her down a long corridor. "My wife speaks highly of your mother."

"You know who I am." He could hear the relief in her voice. "Good, because I need your help."

Odin opened the door to a cozy-looking room, quirking a curious eyebrow at her. "Come inside." He motioned inside, where a tall redhead waited for them with a warm smile. "We can discuss it over a delicious red wine that I keep hidden from my sons, and honey cake."

Diana chuckled.
