They call her Human Torch! Chapter 24
"We need to call someone Jane!"
"Who are we going to call Darcy?! There's no one to call. He said he would come back and he has to bring her with him, we just have to wait."
"We have been waiting for hours! Even Phil left and gave up!"
"He didn't give up! He is bringing me my things so I can continue my work and see if we can do something on our end, He is updating some people and Clint said he would call Natasha."
Darcy sighed and looked down as her eyes filled with tears for the third time now.
"Someone needs to call Kitty.."
"We should call Tony or Logan first. I don't think we should call her directly, someone needs to tell her in person."
…
"What do you mean GONE? Gone where?"
Pepper ran into the room after hearing Tony yell and watched on in concern as he stumbled back and fell into the chair behind him. She rushed to him and gasped back in shock when she saw the tears collecting in his eyes and his hands beginning to tremble.
"Oh my god! Tony what happened? Whats wrong?"
…
"Wh- Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
Logan held back his own emotion as he watched the pain on Kitty's face. The kid was falling apart in front of him and Colossus was silently crying, unable to comfort her any.
"We had to be sure Kitty. They called me 9 hours after it happened and we had to wait and see if anything changed. We didn't want to make you go through this if she would be back soon after."
"No! My mom has been missing 3 DAY'S! How could you lie about that to me? You told me Fury sent her on a mission and she couldn't call me! You all lied! I want- I want to go, to where she was."
"I know, come on, pack a bag, both of you."
…
February.
…
Jasper heard the loud howls of agony at the same time the rest of the house did. Everyone ran as fast as they could to the treaty line and were shocked to see half the wolves there looking feral and exuding debilitating levels of sadness and hurt. He took note that only the wolves with no mates were present and if these emotions were anything to go on, then the others would probably be with the imprints. Iron man stepped forward from behind them and as the mask peeled back to show the famous Tony Stark, they could see the dark circles under his eyes and the red rim in them as well. Peter and Char were the only vampires to have met him and knew him enough to know something was wrong.
"What's happened?"
…
March.
…
"Anything new on your end?"
Jane looked up to Tony and chose to simply shake her head. The answer had been the same every 2 weeks that he came. He had stayed in New Mexico for 3 weeks with Kitty but after Phil called Pepper she came to drag them home. Tony had taken Bella's absence as bad as Kitty. Pepper had caught him many times getting his things ready on a Friday morning, only to remember that there was no one in New York waiting for him. Eventually Logan had to take the kids back to the school and no one had the inclination to visit the empty penthouse.
…
Bella's Pov.
"Bella."
I looked up from the book and saw Sif leaning on the balcony of my bedroom.
"Hi Sif, What's up?"
She crooked an eyebrow and smirked at me. I had taken to teaching her all kinds of 'Midgardian' behavior and expressions and in exchange she lent me books and gave me lessons on the Nine Realms.
"I wanted to inform you that we might have found another one of Loki's secret passageways."
I instantly perked up and looked at her.
"Really? Where?"
"Please do not get your hopes up Bella."
I sighed and leaned back in bed. I knew it was probably a way to another planet and if I got my hopes up for getting home then I would just be crushed when I didn't.
"I'm sorry, I did not wish to upset you."
"I understand. I just miss my family."
"Heimdall say's they still look for you and miss you as well. As long as they do not give up then neither shall you. Tomorrow may not go in your favor but in the least you will explore a new Realm."
I nodded and wiped some tears away as she came to pull me out of bed.
"Come now. Dinner is served. If I knew those history books would captivate your attention I might not have given them to you."
I laughed and followed but inside I was groaning. Asgard was a magical place in the literal sense but when it came to food… they were still stuck in the viking era.. as in, no flavor. Well that was mean to say but compared to all the spices we had it was just so different here, and bland, very very bland. Thor's father had declared me a royal guest to the castle while I was stuck here so when I tried to help in the kitchen there was always a maid to assist me or tell me it was improper for a guest to do such work… I guess my love for classic literature paid off because without the education from it I might not have survived the oppressing stiffness there was to everything.
The only people I felt lighter with were Thor, Sif, Heimdall, and the Warriors Three. Although, I never called them that anymore, not after I finally learned their names 3 weeks ago. I was too afraid to seem rude and ask before but now I really considered them my friends. They had been working endlessly, looking through books and speaking with other Asgardians about other portals. So far they have found nothing that worked other than the rumored passageways that Loki had created. Thor had explained that his mother, the queen, was talented and had shown Loki how to wield magic since he was a child, he had made passageways to other realms but no one knew how to reach them or which realm they led to. The queen was my best hope in getting home but she was closest to Loki and his death had her mourning, no one was willing to ask anything of her and although I wanted to go home, I wasn't willing to disrupt her. I had said as much to the king and he was grateful enough to let me take the Warriors Three with me whenever we found passageways.
I didn't truly believe that Loki was dead. I saw Thor gripping his hand for dear life when the bridge shattered but after the king showed up and showed his displeasure, Loki simply let go. If he was so talented in magic then surely he had some plan right?
"Who found out about this next passage?"
"Fandral. He has searched with vigor to please you. I believe the fool wishes for your affections."
"Oh, I don't- it would never-"
"He knows there is no tomorrow with you. Still I think the chase is what keeps him entertained. Women of Asgard fall to their knees and here you are, such talent is not overlooked by the men in this realm, he wishes to conquer before any other, be it just for one night."
"Well when you put it that way! That is definitely not fucking happening!"
She laughed at me and continued walking to the dining hall. I don't know why ever since I explained how the word 'fuck' was used in our realm, they found is so funny. I could call them fuckers and they would probably laugh instead of taking offense to it. There were so many things that were so amazing here and every new thing I learned was bittersweet, I was always thinking 'Darcy would find that hilarious' or 'Jane would jump on the chance to study that' and 'Tony would shit himself if he saw this'. There was a constant weight on my chest that could leave me paralyzed if I paid attention to it. For now I was sticking with oblivion and going about things in a detached manor. However unhealthy it may be.
"I was reading through the type of races there are in each realm and I noticed there are not many nice things to say about the Halal? Realm, Why is that?"
"Hala. It is the home of the Kree. They are deceitful savages. We already had a run in with Jotunheim, let's hope tomorrow we go anywhere other than Hala."
"Why are they different?"
"War between the Kree and other races is far too frequent, they are volatile and unstable to the point that they have become divided among themselves. We do not interfere with such things, especially now that they are on the verge of war with the Nova empire."
"That has come up on almost every book! What is the Nova Empire? Sounds like something out of Star Wars or something."
"I do not comprehend how there can be war among stars themselves?"
"Um, Yeah it's a movie-"
"On the televisions you talked about?"
"Yes. It's very popular but I have not seen it. Space stuff doesn't really catch my attention. I'm more into Harry Potter and Sherlock."
When I got no response I turned and saw she was waiting expectantly for an explanation to what Harry potter was.. Fuck that if I am going to explain the magic of Hogwarts to someone who knows people who can do magic without wands…
"Never mind, So what about this Nova Empire?"
"Well, they reside mainly in the planet of Xandar. You would not know much of it since Xandar is not in our nine realms. They are an intergalactic hegemony made up of many races. Mostly Xandarians, but there are others like the Krylorians, the Rainers, and the A'askavariians."
"Sif you are speaking a language I don't know.."
"I apologize. I guess there are more books I need to collect for you."
"That would be helpful, thank you."
"I will find a book with the detailed start of the Nova Empire but they rule over a good portion of the galaxy. The Nova Corps is the Empire's primary military and peacekeeping force."
"I'm guessing Asgard is not one of the places they rule?"
"Of course not. We are capable of controlling ourselves. Our army rivals the force of the Nova Corps."

June – Bella Pov.
"Lady Bella, Pardon the intrusion."
"It's okay Heimdall. Do you need something?"
"I spoke with our King and he has agreed to let you try the next portal today."
I got up from the library couch along with Thor who looked as shocked as I did.
"Heimdall? My father wanted more time to pass until we tried another passageway, what has changed?"
"It seems the Queen has new information that the King is not ready to announce to the court. For now, he feels that an outing to another Realm will look good for Asgard and it will also do well for Lady Bella on this day."
Thor looked to me in confusion but I just took the book and walked past him towards my room.
"I will be ready to leave in 5 minutes then."
I rushed to my room and tried to ignore the sting of the tears that threatened to shed. I had to change and do something with this hair. I worked on auto pilot as I dressed but couldn't help but think I looked good dressed as a warrior. My suit was torn and although I had fixed it months ago, I couldn't wear the same thing everyday could I? I tried to ignore the knock on the door but Thor walked in with Sif and The Warriors Three anyway.
"Bella, I must apologize. I was not aware that today is your daughters birthday."
"Don't Thor. I don't want to talk about it. I simply asked Heimdall this morning to check up on her. If I were there it would be different but I'm not so today is no different than any other here. Don't apologize, we have gone through this before."
They nodded and let the subject go but I could feel the sympathy radiating off of them and that was the real reason I hadn't said anything. I didn't want anyone feeling bad for me.
"So are we leaving or not?"
"Yes. I checked with father and he confirmed that we may go."
I nodded and followed them through the kingdom until we got outside the city. So far all the Passageways that had been found had been in the city but 1 hour into the trip I was getting antsy.
"Are we close? Who found this anyway?"
"One of the light elves sent me a message through Heimdall 2 day's ago."
We looked at Hogun in surprise but Volstagg gave him a slap in the back.
"You loyal Warrior you! Bedding maidens in the name of Asgard?"
I had to hide my smirk when I saw Hogun glare at us with a blush starting to form.
"I did not rest with her you Nidhug!"
"Nidhug?"
"Nidhug is the creature that lives in Hel, in Niflheim, at the root of the tree Yggdrasil. Vile creature with horns that feeds on the roots of Yggdrasil and the corpses of the dead."
I seriously fought the urge to roll my eyes.. I mean I get it, they are gods and magic exists in this planet but now this? This was the stuff in fiction books.. I remained silent for the rest of the way but the longer it took to get there, the more I felt my anxiety rising.
"We should be 2 minutes out."
"Good, I wish to be back home by supper."
"You are always hungry Volstagg! Learn to contain yourself."
"Sif I eat as a man should. You only require half of my consumption."
She rolled her eyes but remained quiet, they all did and I felt a little guilt that they had to stop their fun because of my nerves that were plain to see now. Fandral swung his arm over my waist and though usually I would shrug him off, I chose not to, instead I took a deep breath and tried to calm my frantic heart.
…
"It's a beautiful sight."
At Sif's words I couldn't hold it in anymore. I slid down to the floor and leaned against the nearest tree. It hurt too much to keep my emotions at bay this time. "I'm sorry." I heard myself repeating it over and over but no matter how much I tried I couldn't get control of it. Today of all day's I want nothing more than to go home. It hurt when I missed Pepper's birthday, it hurt when I missed Jane's, and Tony's, and Clint's, but today waking up and missing my Baby's 19th birthday, today getting a chance to go home and finding that I am once again in another realm. It's all too much.
…
It had been 3 day's since I had my emotional breakdown and I was still tired from it. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. When I finally cried my eyes out I fell deep asleep and someone carried me back, I slept the rest of that day and woke up the night of the next. Now I didn't have the courage to step outside my room, I needed some space to rebuild my walls and make myself tougher. I felt that if I took a step out right now I would probably breakdown as soon as someone said a word to me. Selfishly I wished I was in La Push so I could be hugged and comforted by my family there. I wondered if anyone had thought to inform them of my disappearance…. Or if Victoria had made a move in the months I had been gone.
…
July
…
August. Bella Pov.
"My father at last has figured out what my mother has been hiding."
"Shit! You can't just barge in like that Thor! You scared me half to death."
Fandral and Hogun laughed at my 'ridiculous' Midgardian expression but they then glared at Thor for the interruption. I was in the middle of explaining Sherlock to them and they were really into it. I lost the interest of Sif and Volstagg but these 2 were all for it.
"What did you find out?"
"My Mother, she saw a vision of Loki. He is alive and she thinks he has plans to use the Tesseract!"
"The what?"
My question was ignored after the guys jumped up and they all started marching into the castle muttering things about battles.
"Wait! Isn't the Tesseract something with those infinity stones?
"I will give you a book."
I followed the voice back to Sif. She was rushing to catch up to us with Volstagg on her heals. She nodded to us in greeting but stepped in front of the group and started leading us towards the throne room. The King and Queen were already there with Heimdall, some trusted guards, and few court advisers. Once we were close enough to the throne steps we knelt in respect and got up once he acknowledged us. I remember the first time in here I stood like an idiot until Thor put pressure behind my knees as a hint. The King then forgave my rudeness and explained that he did not expect me to know all Asgardian custom's. Still as time passed I grew comfortable with it and actually did do it to show respect. He was a great King and deserved it.
"Mother? Father? What has changed?"
The King and Queen looked to Heimdall to take lead on the conversation.
"The other realms sense a change due to the destruction of the Bifrost, Asgard is cut off from them and the Marauders know it. Nidavellir fears the dwarven forges will be overtaken without our protection. The Badoon and Marauders are mobilizing to attack others, including Vanaheim."
Hogun suddenly tensed up and stepped forward before Volstagg and Fandral each put an arm in front to bring him back to our side. I looked on in confusion as to what could have him so rattled, usually he was the most serious and unaffected of us all. Sif slowly leaned into my side and whispered so low that I might not have heard without Logan's hearing.
"Vanaheim is Hogun's home realm."
I gasped and understood his urgency. Heimdall chose to ignore us and continued talking.
"The destruction of the Bifrost continues to shift the balance of power across the nine realms… and into the worlds beyond Yggdrasil."
I felt the fabric of Thor's cape as he stepped in front of me to kneel in front of his father.
"Father, I must apologize once more for my actions. In my haste to to save Jotunheim, it seems I have weakened the other realms."
Odin sighed and looked intently at his son as he held the Queen's hand.
"It is true that this has brought the universe closer to Ragnarok. However, it is also why I have allowed the 6 of you to follow through all passageways found. Our presence in other realms are what have kept the Marauders and the Badoon's at bay for so long. As you all have been informed, Frigga has seen and spoken with Loki in a vision. The vision was in Sanctuary."
There were gasps heard all around and I had to dig into my head to figure out what the deal was. Sanctuary wasn't in their ruling, it wasn't one of the nine realms, it is a domain ruled by Thanos which… ahh shit! Thanos is a powerful, cosmic warlord who rules over a distant region of space and commands a massive army known as the Chitauri.
".. He was speaking to The Other, Thanos' personal servant."
The Queen looked down as she spoke and I knew it must have been hard. The whole situation had to be a kick in the gut for her, to find out her son isn't dead and then to have to out him to the court, knowing we would go after him anyway that we could. The King held her and turned to us.
"We have no choice but to wait for them to make a move. When the time comes I will do whatever is necessary."
He looked deep into my eyes as he said it and I did not know if I should be freaked out or not.
"What we can do now, is have you all visit another realm through the passageway's that have been found. We need to be seen. Do not hide in the shadows as you have done before. I want the Marauder's to know that Asgardians are not trapped. I want them held off for as long as possible, until Loki has been taken care of."
That was our dismissal so after bowing we all took our leave and decided that we would go now and spend the night in another realm. Passageway's are usually secluded so we would have to do a bit of travel before someone in another realm saw us. I allowed myself to be excited for this. I know there is a war coming on with Loki but if the Tesseract is involved in anyway then I would fight with everything I had to make sure we got it. I knew the infinity stone in it had the power to fix the Bifrost and take me home at last.
"Stop!"
I turned and saw one of the guards run down towards us. He looked nervous and kept his head down for the most part.
"I think I have information to a new passageway."
"You think?"
"My daughter found it near our home. I have taken guard at the other portals found and this one looks different. I spoke to Heimdall and he has given me permission to guide you to it. I believe it leads to a realm outside of Yggdrasil."
I stayed quiet, knowing it was not my place to give my opinion on the matter but I couldn't believe it. I have been reading so much about the surrounding worlds and the type of races they inhabit, I would love to see it. Thor turned to the guard and nodded.
"Follow me then. My home is a few miles out of the city."
Why would Loki make a portal in someone's back yard? We followed him about an hour when we finally got there. Talk about horrible commute to work. It was a lovely cottage style home with a lively garden growing all around. I saw a woman who had to be his wife looking at us through a window but he purposely led us away from the house and another 20 minutes into the woods behind his house. There was a fountain with boulders surrounding it, my attention was fully on the water's ripples that I didn't even notice 2 big boulders that looked more like a cave entrance. Ah smart Loki. No one would notice this next to the beautiful sight. Of course a child found this, she was just the right height to not miss anything. Sif must have been thinking along the same because she gave the guard a grateful nod.
"Your daughter has good sights on things that do not fit in."
"She was just running around and when she got too close to this, I saw a glow start to form, I snatched her away quickly since I have heard rumors of the glowing from other portals."
"So far it seems that rumor is true. What makes you think this portal will lead us into the outer worlds?"
"It just looks different. Sometimes it seems the water from the fountain feeds into the portal. Like this is a source that took stronger magic to maintain."
I got closer and could see what he meant, it looks like a floating canal just being absorbed by the boulders. As we got closer, the guard retreated and 'left us to it'. In the beginning we took cautious steps but then just grabbed on to each other and broke through. It wasn't like the Bifrost, I didn't fall, it was like when Harry walked through the platform to get to the Hogwarts Express. We walked forward and suddenly the colors around us started swirling, sounds of running water and birds chirping faded and slowly everything morphed to a water fountain… Not natural like in the forest but an actual water fountain in the middle of a city.
"Where are we? This- This looks like home, but more.. more futuristic?"
"That building has the Nova Corp symbol on it."
"So we are in a secure planet?"
"No. Never trust anyone Bella, especially anyone in a realm that has different authority than ours."
"But I thought Nova Corps were the good guys? The books said they only keep the peace."
"Still, it is unwise for us to be here. We are outnumbered and their weaponry is far more advanced than any of ours at this moment.
I nodded but felt my chest tighten in nerves. We sighed and walked around from behind the fountain. It looked.. I mean I could almost cry. The sky was blue, there were big buildings taller than any I have seen on earth, and the people! I mean there were tons of people walking around and they all had different colors! There were pink people.. people who looked human actually stood out because there were so little of them. There were people with long pointy ears, others with long noses and people with electronic body parts. My chest hurt from the rapid beating of my heart. It was amazing and unbelievable but then it was also terrifying. In Asgard I learned new things but they still looked human but here, here I really felt out of place, we even stood out with our clothes, we were dressed as old Viking warriors, hot, but still old, they had clothes that looked… well, futuristic!
"We should split up."
"What? Are you crazy Thor? The last thing we should do is split up."
"Bella, We need not stay here for a long amount of time. Our original plan of spending a night here no longer is necessary, we are in a city with multiple races. If we split up and just have people hear we come from Asgard then word will spread. There are too many of us to be together, then we may gather too much unwanted attention. Volstagg, I suggest you remain here and guard the passageway. Hogun, Fandral, and I will look for a social establishment-"
"You mean a bar?"
"We do not need a bar?"
"A bar is a place you go to get drunk."
"Ah, then yes, a bar. We shall find 2 separate bars and converse with people, explaining we come from Asgard. Bella, you and Sif will stay together. I suggest finding a place to exchange your clothes."
"With what money?"
Thor looked at me dumbfounded for a second before looking sheepish and moving on.
"Lets move quickly and efficiently. We meet back here in 2 hours. If you finish before then, just come here and wait. We do not want to wander far away."
We nodded and disbanded in opposite directions. Many people gave Sif and I appreciative glances but some women looked confused. I guess our clothes really did stick out. We walked for a while and spoke a little loud about Asgard and the Bifrost, not mentioning that it was broken. We definitely got looks for that.
"Come on, I see more people that way."
I followed her around a corner to a thinner sidewalk, there were 5 huge, and I mean really really huge, pieces of metal.. I couldn't figure out what it was really but they looked sleek and some had nice paint jobs. Were these space cars?
"Sif, what are those?"
"Space ships, of course."
"SPACE SHIPS?! What the fuck Sif? Like flying through the planets space ships? Why didn't you tell me?"
She hushed me and drew me away from the crowd until we got to a secluded corner. I was having trouble keeping my anger in check which means I was trying my hardest to keep the flames away.
"It is more complicated than that Bella. You would know about these space ships if they were seen so often in your planet but they are not because it is not an easy thing!"
"But it's possible? I have been looking for a way home for MONTHS Sif! If there is a way, no matter how difficult, I want to explore the possibility! How far away is earth?!"
"Listen to me Bella, These ships cost a lot of units, units we do not have at the moment, the cost of fuel to get to a planet so far, in another galaxy would be a few more times than the cost of the ship. The time it would take Bella, Months more will pass before you could get to Midgard."
"Yeah, all that and it is also forbidden to travel to Terra!"
We spun around to the sing song voice and found a man, a good looking man, a little older than me just standing there looking me over.
"So you are really human?"
There was curiosity there but something else too. He was checking me out and almost looking at me like he didn't really believe.
"Who are you? And why is it forbidden?"
"Who I am is Star Lord. And it's forbidden because it's an undeveloped planet."
"Undeveloped?! What the fuck is that? We may not have space ships but we are pretty damn happy about our way of life okay, undeveloped my ass!"
"Have you looked around you? Why would you want to go back to that backwater planet?"
"That is none of your business!"
I went to storm away but he caught me around my arm and pulled me back to his chest.
"Look, I didn't me- What the hell?! Are you crazy? How are you doing that?! That is actually awesome but what the hell?!"
I had covered the arm he pulled in flames and lightly burned all his arm hair away with just a sting from the heat.
"Let go of me or I will burn your hand off!"
"Alright alright! Look I'm sorry! I'm just trying to figure you out. Are you a mutant? I remember hearing about those on the news when I was a kid but I never met one."
"What? Are you? Are you Human?!"
"Yeah."
I stumbled back and looked at him, really looked at him. He didn't hold his shoulders high in confidence like Asgardians do.. He looked like a worn out human.
"How?"
"Oh well that is too long of a story. I'm willing to talk more about it over breakfast though, Hm? What do you say?"
He gave me a little grin and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"How?"
"Hm, well you are no fun. I was abducted I guess, whatever."
He tried to play it off but I could see how much it bothered him to talk about it.
"Why haven't you found a way back?'
"All the reasons your friend here gave you aaand why would I want to go back? Space is awesome."
"Don't you have long lost family to reconnect with or just want to live a normal life with your own race? How could you live here without TV and books, music!"
"Music? Hey do you have any with you?"
"No, my Ipod was left back home."
"What is an Ipod?"
"What? How do you not- What year were you taken?'
"1988. But what is an Ipod?"
"Holy shit! You have been stuck for-"
He let out a frustrated grunt and glared at me.
"Look lady I am not stuck anywhere. Even if I could, I wouldn't go back."
He lingered is gaze on my one last time then his eyes closed and he turned to go. "Wait!" I caught up and ran in front of him. I don't know why it mattered to me, but I felt for him, he was hiding something and his absolute denial about going home proved it. Maybe it was just me connecting myself to the first human I have seen in months but I found myself shrugging at him apologetically.
"Ipods are little rectangles this big, they are sold by 8, 16, 32, and even 64 gigs, of space to hold music. They can hold thousands of songs and you can take it with you anywhere, as long as it is charged."
His eyes widened in wonder, like that was the most important thing I could have told him. He looked back at me like I was the key to world peace. Not that world peace would even matter anymore because apparently another race can easily blow up planets and take them over on a whim..
"How can I get one?"
"Well obviously not here.."
He regarded me with interest for a moment before motioning me to a table of a cafe across the street. Sif followed stiffly but I knew she wanted to get away from this.
"How did you end up here?"
"I am with Asgardians."
"Asgard? I thought they were stuck there now that their famous Bifrost was broken?"
"Nope. We have our way's. So what is your real name Star Lord?"
"Peter Quill. What is your name?"
"Bella Swan."
"Well Bella, I think I can help you get units if you were interested. Units= space ship= home."
"What can you possibly need from me?"
"Your fire could help me win a whole lot of fights.. exchange things I find for units, we split the reward. That, and an Ipod loaded with songs. I help you get home if you promise to come back with my Ipod. Easy."
"Doesn't sound easy. How do you even trust that I will come back?"
"You don't seem like a person that would skip out on a deal. But hey, I have been known to be wrong.. almost never but yeah.."
"I'll see what I can do about that Ipod Peter but I can't stay long. I better get back to my temporary home realm."
I got up and Sif sighed in relief as she jumped up too. Peter looked at me like I was crazy but I could also see the undercurrents of panic in his eyes.
"You're already leaving? You aren't even going to think about it?!"
"When you think about going home, send a message to Asgard for them to contact me. I would gladly help put you on your feet. I won't stay stuck in a planet forever. Whatever you are avoiding on earth.. when you deal with it, you will be truly happy and move on. For now, this is like your neverland Peter."
He took a moment to absorb what I had said and connect it to the reference then stormed off in anger. I couldn't imagine staying here, he had to be avoiding something big to not want to go to a freaking planet. I had to remember to do a check on Peter Quill when I got to earth, because I would be back. I could feel it closer than ever.
"Come on Sif, let's go back to the fountain."
