"I demand you bring my son back at once! You large oaf of lard and misery!"
An elder woman no older than 50,000 years shouted at the older man in front of her. She stood next to a throne made of gold and silks. The older woman next to the man looked as if she had not slept for nights. Her hair was a mess, her clothing miss-matched and her left eye would not stop twitching. Her name was Lady Frigga and she was currently yelling at her husband over something gravely horrible that has been haunting her and her family...her second son.
"I have told you time and time again woman, Loki is not allowed back into Asgard." The older man shouted at his wife. In his hand, a large staff that he banged on the ground with every word he spoke. Similar to his wife, he looked like a mess. Clothes wrinkled and rugged, hair messy, eyes twitching, and a foul smell coming from his pit that made Thor's eye's water from his distance.
"Father? Mother?" Thor gently spoke, cutting off their argument. The two older gods looked to their oldest son. The young man, who was 1500 years older, tried everything in his power not to gag at the smell that was coming from his parents. Wearing his Asgardian royal silks, the young handsome princes looked as if he was right at home...which oddly enough he wasn't.
It has been nearly 50 Asgard years since Thor decided to move onto earth to be its guardian full time. Its been even longer on Asgard since then, and everything seemed to have gone into chaos from the looks of it. What was once a beautiful kingdom with no poverty or crime, has now turned into the dumpster of the 9 realms. The ground was littered, men and women weren't doing their jobs, soldiers were either asleep, having sex or partying, and let's not get started on the animals. Everything was out of order!
"Mother, I am right here. You called me three days ago..." Thor spoke to his mother. The older woman turns to him and gasp, shocked at the sudden realization that their son was there the entire argument.
"My sweet son, I did not realize you were here," Frigga spoke as she walks towards him. A horrible ball or oder follows her as she embraces Thor in a hug. The young man tries everything in his power not to gag, or even think about puking. No, he held his break-in and hugged his mother. Once they had separated, Thor turns around and takes a silent breath of air before turning around to look at his loved ones.
"Why did you call me here, is Asgard under attack?" Thor asked them. The two give looked at each confused as if they did not know what he was talking about.
"We did not call you here, did we?" Odin asked. The two glances at each other again before bursting into laughter. Frigga grasps her stomach as she laughs, while Odin slams his hand down on the side table. Their laughter was loud and somewhat crazy as if they were both insanely mocking him for his words and concern.
"Alrighty then..." Thor muttered to himself as he walks away from the two, somewhat annoyed by his parent's behavior. Without delay, he leaves the royal throne and travels straight home back onto earth. Once there, he throws on some earth clothes and lay down in bed.
Living in a two-bedroom luxury apartment owned by Stark industry, while also working with Banner and the G.O.T.G on the side, Thor was currently living the sweet life on earth and above. Well, almost sweet. Jane, his love, had recently married a man who worked in biology. Although Jane and Thor were still good friends, Thor could not help the feeling of loneliness sometimes. A feeling that would only be cured by two things, women and drinking. Luckily, tonight he didn't feel that lonely, what he felt was a concern. His parents were acting weird as if they had come down with something. This had been going on for weeks, but today was serious!
Two days ago his parents were begging him to come home through messages, his mother was even complaining about his absence, but then when he was there, they had no clue why he was there. As if he was talking to two different people. Something had to be looked into! And he knew just the person!
(The next day)
"Your parents are suffering from Al-Seica."
The man with a red magical cape explained. His name was Doctor Strange, and he was the only man that Thor knew who could help him. Strangle enough Wanda was there in his study reading books about magic, strange how small the world is.
"Is that a cold?" Thor asked.
"It's a disease that affects the mind of a sorcerer and all those who live in their magic." Wanda read.
"Wanda, what are you doing here? Aren't you on house arrest?" Thor asked. Wanda accidentally leveled a mountain while trying to save some people. Although the people survived, Wanda did still destroyed a mountain! So as punishment, she was put on house arrest. For which she easily escaped through Doctor Strange's portals. Plus, Vision was on a mission, so there was no one to stop her from leaving.
Wanda, who didn't feel like getting into deeper trouble, raises her hand to her mouth. Her index finger pressed against her lips, with a silent white noise coming from it. Thor just nodded his head at her, accepting her words.
"As Wanda said." Strange started. "When a magic-user uses magic for a long period of time without rest, their minds begin to weaken. When the mind begins to weaken, it begins to create things without realizing it."
"And now your parents are too far gone to remember anything," Wanda muttered.
"But they're still here! I mean just a few days ago, they had called me. Now they can't even remember how to take a bath! What sort of magic is that!?" Thor shouted.
"Dark magic, or maybe something out of guilt. Whatever it may be, it is killing your family and your people."
"Is there a cure for it then?" Thor asked in his dumb old voice.
"TLC," Wanda responded.
"What?" Thor asked. Strange grabs his attention by saying:
"While Tender Loving Care can help it, I wouldn't suggest it for Thor's folks. Being as old as they are, their magic is far stronger then a day off. No, they need a hibernation spell that can knock out a god."
"And where do I get that?" Thor asked.
"You need three ingredients." Strange tells him before ordering his cape to fly away. The red silks remove its self from his body and go flying around the building. Wanda looks up from her book to glance at the cape before continuing her reading. The sewed silks then return to Strange with two out of the three items in its...wraps. Setting them down onto the table by Wanda, Strange walks over and starts his work.
"But there is two here," Thor said.
"Yes, the next one is up to you to get." Strange explains. "The ends of a petal, the leaf's from a dust tree born from the sun, and the blood of an ice giant."
"I am sorry, what are we making?" Thor asked.
"Tea bags. Something that will knock your parents out long enough for them to regain their common sense." Strange explains. "Now, if you bring me the ice giant's blood, I can make this tea bag in less then a day."
"That might be a problem," Thor spoke low. "All the ice giants are dead. Is there anything else to throw in there. Maybe just use the two of the ingredients will be enough."
"These two will put them into a 25 hundred-year sleep. The blood is the balancer of the two, to help your parents not go into a comma...or worse."
"Worse?" Thor asked with a hint of concern. Thor maybe...a little bit stupid, but he did smell danger from miles away.
"Its nothing, just find the last of the ingredient. Then, we can help your parents." Strange explains. "Find your brother, maybe he can give you the blood."
"Loki is dead," Thor explained. "He died on the battlefield protecting our home from Asgard enemies."
"Even after he tried to destroy the earth?" Wanda asked.
"He saved our mother from an elf attack by escaping his cell. Frigga buried his body in the ocean and let it fall off the edge." Thor explained.
"Well, that crosses him out I guess." Strange says before having cloak leave his body to go find books on the subject. "This will be a long night."
Kikkie: Don't fully know where I am going with this, but lets see how things go!
