Despite still being extremely weirded out, I actually had a very good nights sleepin in the comfy bed in my room. When I awoke, I was horrified to see my jumpsuit no where in sight. Having sleep in my underwear for lack of pajamas, I wrapped a sheet around my slender body and search for a closet. When I finally did find a small room resembling a closet, there were no clothes to be found.
"I brought you some robes, Halle," said a voice as I turned around and screamed. There was Loki, holding some purple fabric, and completely unphased by the fact that I was wearing a sheet. Quickly, I grabbed the clothes and yelled at him to get out. The clothes he brought me consisted of a flowing dress, a lavender shawl, and a golden headband. Once I reluctantly put on the foreign outfit, I let Loki know I was suitable for his eyes.
"So," I said once we sat on the bed. "I have about a million questions about this place."
"I will answer them as best as I can," said Loki.
"First of all, are we on another continent? And why did we have to take the Bifrost to get here?"
"We are not in your realm," answered Loki. "The Bifrost is the only way to travel between realms."
"There it is again," I observed. "What's a realm."
Loki took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his raven hair. "It is hard to explain. It is almost like a completely different world. There are nine of them all together."
S.H.E.I.L.D. would be interested in this place I thought. "Okay, what's up with these clothes?" I gestured to the new attire donned as well. He stood up to show the entirity of his new outfit. Like mine, his was robe-like but was made of a thicker material, similar to leather. Patterened in green, black, and gold, I thought the leather robes made him look very handsome.
"You like them?" he asked. "They are the traditional garments of Asgard."
I nodded as if he was making sense when really I was still confused.
"I want to take a look around the city," I said, and made a move for the door. Loki quickly stepped in my way.
"No," he said, I was taken aback by his abruptness. "I mean...I have a better way to see the area. Don't move!" Soon, Loki was gone and I was forced to wait. Suddenly, I heard the familiar jingle of my S.H.E.I.L.D. cell phone. I frantically looked around and found it under my bed with my jumpsuit. I quickly answered the phone, amazed at how Asgard could have such great cell reception.
"Hello?" I asked, tentatively.
"Halle!"
"Summy?"
"I thought I'd lost you for sure," Summy confessed breathlessly.
"I'm fine," I assured. "Really, I can take care of myself."
"Where the hell are you?"
"I'm in Asgard. It's nothing like the Earth; it's not even in our realm."
There was a pause. "Halle, why are you in Asgard?"
I took a deep breath before answering. "Because there was this guy who invited me. I was curious."
"A guy? You put your life on the line because you were curious?" Summy asked forcefully. "Did it ever cross your mind that this guy might be a rapist?"
"Of course it has," I answered, not sure how much time I had before Loki returned. "Look, Summy, I'm only here until the end of the day. And I told you, I can take care of myself."
"I'm telling Coulson."
"Summy, don't!" I panicked, hearing footsteps coming up the hall. "I love you." I closed the phone right as Loki entered the room.
"So, Halle," said Loki, oblivious to the phone call I just made, "ready to go?"
