A/N- Hi everyone, wishing you a very Happy New Year.
Chapter 11.
Three days had come and gone on the Ecclector before Pearle was allowed to venture down the corridor to other parts of the ship. Tulk stayed a few feet behind her
keeping a watchful eye on the kid. Seeing her stop to look out a window he stood beside her and pointing at a planet he said "that's Jotunheim home to the Jotuns or
Frost Giants. Their touch can icily burn your skin".
Pearle looked at Tulk before pointing to another planet coming into view and asked "what's that one?".
Tulk looked at where her finger was pointing and replied "uh that's Svartalfheim home of the Dark Elves. Listen Pearle go to the bridge so you can get a better look at
what's next".
Pearle thanked Tulk before running down the corridor to the bridge. She was surprised to find her Mother and Peter already there but came to stand beside them.
Yondu punched a few buttons and steered the ship before he beckoned them to the window and said "that's Asgard".
Pearle and Peter stood in open mouthed wonder looking at the golden city before their eyes. Yondu stood beside Meredith and asked quietly "so what you think Mer?".
Meredith tore her gaze from the window and meeting Yondu's eyes she replied "this is amazing Yondu. I never thought I'd see this before I met a blue alien in the
forest".
Yondu chuckled and said "glad I met ya that night Mer". Seeing her smile he pressed his com link and said "Tulk ay need you and Vorker on the bridge while I head
down to Asgard". Turning to Meredith he said "you and the kids meet me in the hanger bay. I need to go get that Asgardian weapon".
Meredith beckoned Peter and Pearle to the hanger bay where they boarded Yondu's M Craft. Seeing Yondu in the pilot's seat Meredith sat in the co – pilot's seat and
asked "have you the Asgardian weapon on board?".
Yondu nodded his head and replied "yep. Listen Mer gonna need ya to do something for me".
"Okay what would you like me to do?" asked Meredith as she buckled her seat belt.
Yondu steered his M Craft out into space and said "I need ya to pretend to be my wife and that I'm Peter and Pearle's Father so Odin doesn't zap ye back to Terra".
Meredith smiled and nodding her head she said "okay I can do that". Pearle and Peter listened to the conversation up front before looking at each other and shrugging
their shoulders they nodded their heads.
The view of Asgard from the M Craft was stunning as Yondu flew over the palace before landing the M Craft in the courtyard of the palace. It was strange coming back
here after five years. Killing the engine Yondu said "Mer stay here with the kids ay just gotta announce our arrival". Seeing Meredith nod her head he lowered the
ramp and stepped out of the craft with a holopad tucked under his arm.
Having seen the spacecraft enter Asgard Heimdal had blown his horn alerting the All Father of the Ravager craft. Odin hearing the horn sent twenty of the Einherjar
warriors to investigate. So when Yondu stepped onto Asgardian soil he gave a low whistle at the warriors before saying "ya know the last time I landed here the All
Father sent only ten warriors".
The Einherjar Captain stepped forward and lowering his spear he asked "what do you want Captain Udonta?".
Yondu handed him the holopad and said "ay found something that the All Father might want in his collection but it ain't for free".
The Einherjar Captain took the holopad and gazed at the screen before looking back at Yondu and said "stay here I'll be right back".
Yondu waited by the M Craft until the Einherjar Captain returned to him. Handing him the holopad he said "the All Father and Queen Frigga will see you now. Have
you anyone else with you?".
Yondu nodded and said "yeah my wife and two kids. I'll go get the weapon".
"You may bring your wife and kids with you as long as they behave" said the Einherjar Captain.
Yondu went aboard the M Craft and picking up the weapon wrapped in cloth he said "come on Mer and make sure those kids behave themselves". Meredith took the
hands of Peter and Pearle and followed Yondu into the palace while they were being flanked by ten Einherjar soldiers.
As they entered the throne room Meredith's mouth dropped open at seeing the All Father sitting on the grand throne and of the beautiful queen by his side. The All
Father looked down at her and her children with curiosity before turning his gaze to Yondu and said "could this be that the feared Ravager Yondu Udonta has married
and fathered children?".
Yondu nodded his head and replied "well it was bound to happen eventually All Father".
"I see you have found a weapon that has been lost to Asgard for a very long time. We will discuss it and payment in my office. As for your wife and children Frigga my
queen will entertain them".
Yondu nodded his head and followed Odin out of the throne room while Frigga approached Meredith.
"It is nice to have guests and I'm sure you and your children wouldn't say no to tea and cakes" said Queen Frigga as she smiled at Meredith.
Meredith, Peter and Pearle followed Queen Frigga down a hallway and into a room with an open balcony where two small tables were set up beside two chaise sofas.
Each table held a porcelain tea set and a plate of pastries and cakes. Peter and Pearle sat on a sofa twenty yards from where their Mother sat with Queen Frigga and
let a maid pour their tea before sipping the hot sweet milky liquid.
Once the maid had poured her tea Frigga took a sip and turning to Meredith she asked "so tell me Meredith do you miss Midgard or earth as you call it?".
Meredith looked up from her tea and shaking her head she replied "no. There's nothing left for me on Terra and I love Yondu and don't plan on leaving him anytime
soon plus our children would be heartbroken if I did".
Frigga smiled and letting Meredith eat a Danish she said quietly "you don't need to lie Meredith for I know Yondu Udonta is not those children's Father".
Meredith nearly dropped her cup and stared at Queen Frigga for a few seconds before saying "he is their Father, he's the only Father they've ever had and he loves
them".
Queen Frigga placed her hand on Meredith's arm and smiling gently at her she said "there is no need to fear Meredith as I know how much you and those kids love
him. Its easy see it. How I knew there aren't his children is the power that runs in their veins, their birth Father must have been a powerful being. I did not mean to
upset you".
Meredith smiled and whispered "thank you Queen Frigga. I feared that if you and the All Father knew that we'd be sent back to Earth away from Yondu".
"No need to worry about that. Now come with me as I would like to give you something. I will have a maid stay here to entertain your children as my two sons are
away for the day on a hunting trip and won't be home until nightfall".
Meredith nodded her head and said "thank you" before following Queen Frigga from the room while a maid entered.
Odin sat looking at the spear before him before looking at Yondu and said "this spear belonged to my Father Borr. It was given to him by his Father and was
unfortunately lost in battle. I am shocked to hear you found it on a Kree ship".
Yondu nodded slowly and leaning back in his chair he said "I already have a buyer for it but if you want it back you'll have to beat his price".
Odin rolled his eyes and asked "why should I pay when you have brought the spear back to Asgardian soil?".
Yondu smirked and replied "the Ecclector is just outside of orbit and all I have to do is whistle in my com link and they come with guns blazing. If you can beat 2
million and 500 thousand credits than me and my family leave quietly".
"Fine I'll give you three million credits and that's all. Agreed?" said Odin irritably.
Yondu chuckled and nodding his head he said "agreed now give me my money so I can get me and the family back to my ship".
Odin opened a drawer and pulled out the correct amount of credits before handing them over to Yondu and said "thank you Captain Udonta. You may leave now".
Yondu took the credits and left the office before walking back to his ship. Entering the courtyard he saw Meredith standing by his M Craft dressed in a beautiful
Asgardian gown with gold bangles on her wrist and her hair delicately styled. Three soldiers stood besides her holding several parcels while Peter and Pearle spoke
with the Queen who stood with them.
Opening the ramp to the M Craft Yondu turned to Queen Frigga and said "thank you Queen Frigga for entertaining Meredith and the kids". Turning to Meredith he said
"you look nice Mer you'll have to wear that dress a lot more".
Meredith felt her cheeks blush before turning to Queen Frigga and said "thank you Queen Frigga for your kindness and the outfit".
Queen Frigga smiled and hugging both the children and then Meredith she said "you're welcome and take care of those children Meredith as they are very special".
Meredith nodded her head and waited until the parcels were brought aboard before she boarded the M Craft with her children.
Queen Frigga watched the M Craft leave before returning back in doors where she was met by Odin. Seeing him smile she asked "how much did he ask for?".
"Three million units. Tell me how did you enjoy your time with his family?" said Odin.
Frigga smiled and taking Odin's arm she replied "I enjoyed it. I hope those children are prepared for their future as Ravagers".
Odin smiled and led his wife down to the gardens.
