an: so excuses, excuses, life has been crazy lately sorry i've made you wait a bit for an update lol. Con season is hear and I've been rushing to finish my costumes while working nonstop. BUT I finally have some time to sit down and update today. Not sure when I'll be able to post again because I have two cons in a row approaching but I'm going to try to possibley update another chapter tonight? Maybe, not too sure yet.

Anywho, thank you to everyone whose still reading and added this to their favorites/following list! Let me know about what you think is going to happen when Skadi gets to Asgard in the reviews :)

Review reply-

Arianna Le Fay: I thought about having one of the Guardians go with her but for the events I want to happen I wanted her to go off on her own because this will lead directly into Infinity War/Endgame, which I've already have set in stone with what I want to happen lol.

Chapter 7: I've Got To Follow

It had been done by a lot of convincing on Gamora's part, as Peter's begs weren't enough to get Nova Prime to release the four Asgardian's from their cells. The fight had apparently caused a lot more property damage than they all realized. Nova said that they should make the Guardian's pay for the damages but due to their long standing working relationship, they'd look it over but Nova Prime wasn't happy about it. Especially after finding out they'd been lied to all these years after Gamora revealed that Skadi was actually the princess of Asgard; that would've been information worth knowing, Nova Prime insisted angrily. Regardless, the Asgardian's were freed, and Skadi was all packed for her trip.

The four Asgardian's waited a few feet away from the Guardians and the few officers Prime ordered to oversee the departure. They watched as their princess nervously said her goodbyes to her team, trying not to rush her but knew Odin would already have their heads for making him wait longer then they originally planned.

Standing in front of Drax, Skadi gave him a tight hug, thanking him for everything he'd done over the last few days. He wished her luck, knowing he'd see her soon anyways but still knew how nervous the girl was about this trip.

"This reminds me of the time my Kamaria was heading off to the Warrior's Path, a tradition of my people, where every child must leave their home and make a perilous journey to the training grounds." He told her as they separated. "You will be fine."

Smiling, remembering Drax talking about his own time at his people's training grounds, she moved onto Mantis and Groot next, giving them both quick hugs. Groot had the wreath he made in his hands, and handed it over to her. He told her to bring it with her because he worked hard on it and didn't want Drax to ruin it. Skadi snorted, not knowing why Groot thought Drax would always be the one to mess up his stuff, but nodded, taking the small wreath and placing it in her side bag carefully.

Rocket stood next to Groot, his arms crossed against his chest and his face looking like he was so far from being amused by this. Skadi simply gave him a smile, knowing he wasn't a hugger or really into any type of display of affection. Rocket rolled his eyes, as she awkwardly shifted.

"Why are we all acting like she's going away for forever?" He sneered, shrugging his shoulders. "You're coming back in like a week, this is stupid. Have fun at fairy land, I'll be waiting in the ship, getting' ready for yet another mission."

Gamora shook her head in annoyance at him, as he trailed away. Her smile was apologetic to Skadi even though she knew she didn't have to explain the raccoon's actions to her. The daughter of Thanos ignored Rocket, turning to fully look at her, noting how much she's grown since she first met her. Not much of a hugger either, she simply placed a caring hand on her shoulder and squeezed it tight.

Gamora knew she was apprehensive about this trip, and Gamora was for her as well but she knew that this was something she had to do. She was proud that Skadi had become brave enough to venture out on her own like this, knowing that if this had to be a decision she had to make four years ago than she would've chosen not to go. The whole Ego thing made her question herself and doubt herself; Gamora was happy that the girl who'd become like a sister to her was finally moving past that.

"Be careful," Gamora still warned, letting her fretfulness appear one last time. "But like Drax said, you'll be fine."

Skadi smiled at her, knowing that Gamora was right. All that was gonna happen was she was going to get lectured by her father, cry about her mother and Loki, sight see the kingdom and then come home. "I know, I know,"

Gamora let her go, knowing Peter was waiting to smother her one last time before they'd be separated. The pair already said their goodbyes last night and this morning but Peter felt as it still wasn't enough. He wanted to go with her but knew mortals weren't allowed on Asgard, Fandral made sure to remind him of that on the walk over here again. He also knew that he was needed here more.

He'd never realized how they'd always been attached to the hip for years and years until now. He already told her that she wasn't allowed to fall in love with any princes or lords while on Asgard, and that she had to come home in exactly a week, to which she laughed but promised she would.

Peter pulled her into one last hug, knowing that he was overreacting but didn't care. They kissed, trying to make it last as long as they could before pulling away. Peter caressed her cheek with a sigh,

"I love you," She said, trying to give him a reassuring smile, trying to brighten him up.

"I love you more," He replied, letting his hand fall. His hand fell down to his side with a sad look. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his Zune. Handing it over to her, she took it with a confused stare.

"I can't take this, what if something happens to it? Yondu gave this to you." She tried handing it back to him, not wanting to chance being the one to ruin the last thing they have of their old mentor. She sighed in frustration when he took it from her but shoved it in her side bag. "What about you? You can't go a week without it!"

"Rocket has clones of a bunch of songs on the ship, I'll be fine. I want you to take it," Peter insisted, putting his hands in his jacket pockets so she couldn't try and put it back in his hands.

"Okay," She sighed, zipping up her bag before going on her tiptoes to give him one more kiss. "I should go now." Turning to look at the rest of her teammates, Skadi started to back up as she spoke half seriously, and half jokily, "please be safe on the mission. I really don't want to come back here to find out you guys all died on me."

Drax looked offended, not understanding she was just messing around while Mantis just waved like a little child saying goodbye to a parent. Groot's attention was already on his tablet, trying to hide that he was actually going to miss her while she was gone. Gamora and Peter laughed, wishing her the same. Peter watched as she finally stood next to the other Asgardians, not quite sure how this Bifrost thing she told them about worked.

They'd picked an open air field for their pick up spot, not wanting to test Nova Prime further and damaging anything else once the Bifrost was called. Skadi hadn't used the Bifrost since she was a little girl and remembered the sick feeling it gave her and stood next to Fandral with a lopsided smirk. He looked down at her and chuckled, knowing she'd probably be sick afterwards.

Sif called out for the Bifrost to be opened once everyone was settled. Skadi could hear the bang of the doorway open, looking up to see the bright light come reaching down towards them from the skies. She knew that her teammates were properly concerned, not quite sure that this was exactly safe. But the thought of them slipped away as she felt the rays consume her and lift her up in to the air, before being zapped away up to Asgard.
