The sun shown brightly in the midday of Manhattan from Stark's tower. The Asgardians spoke their goodbyes and hopes of returns to the small group standing just inside the opening. The three headed to the marked spot from the Bifrost. The small group waved one last time to them before a booming voice called for Heimdall. Silence only returned to them. Thor called again.

"This cannot be!" Thor roared. He looked over to Loki and Sigyn.

The small group started to speak in low whispers. Tony's chuckle could be heard among them.

"So this isn't the first time you've been locked out of the house," Tony laughed. "Or should I say Asgard."

"No, but that was when my brother was on the throne," Thor looked to Loki who only shrugged.

"Not my doing or else why would I be here?" he looked to Sigyn who was looking around. She could hear the beat of wings coming to them.

"Asgard must be in trouble if they are not letting us back," Thor mused.

It could be that or it could be due to other reasons. It wasn't the first time for Sigyn to be denied access back to Asgard. She stepped away from the two. Two sleek black ravens landed upon each of her shoulders.

Sigyn sighed and shook her head. "Tis what I hoped not."

"What do you mean?" Thor asked.

"They're Huginn and Muninn," she answered loud enough for the small group to hear. "Thought and Memory. Allfather's birds. Messengers, spies." She started to speak to the birds, "I accept what punishment or consequence Allfather has offered." Huginn squawked first into her ear.

Your recent outburst has set the Jotuns and your parents into finding you a permanent protector, again, Odin's voice rung in her ear. I can hold them off as long as I can. My sons need to stay on Midgard as well for Malekith might venture back into Midgard. I will send for you in two Midgardian seasons. Once the snow sets, I will bring you all back.

Muninn then squawked into her other ear. She could see a secret meeting of her parents, Odin, and Suttungr deciding her future. The birds then flew away into the distance.

"We are commanded to stay on Midgard," Sigyn sighed. Before the could ask for how long she spoke again, "for the changing of two seasons. When the snow sticks to the ground, then we will be able to allowed back to Asgard." She walked off of the ruin and headed to Avengers.

Thor was speaking to Loki about trying to get back to Asgard through one of the hidden routes. Loki was about to respond when Sigyn called back to them.

"We are not allowed to leave Midgard either," she explained. "This is not a punishment but a wait to see if Malekith returns." Along with keeping me here without remorse. My future lies in their hands and I have no voice.

"You have been denied access before" Loki and Thor followed her as they reached the small group.

"Nor will it be the last," Sigyn sighed. She had got stuck here only to watch several of the passing seasons before she was allowed back. She had been near the age of womanhood when it happened. To her knowledge it was because the Jotuns and other realms were seeking her. She was even asked to travel around Midgard to not be noticed or found. She traveled everywhere seeing, hearing, feeling almost everything and things that would never be seen from anyone. When she arrived back to Asgard she gave her knowledge to those around her that wanted or would allowed to have it. Sigyn had also found out she was away due to her parents wanting a betrothe her to a mighty warrior. Odin did not want that. Neither did the Jotuns, they had ideas of who she should betrothe. Odin told them that if they could find her in a few changing of the seasons, then she would have to marry their suitor, but if they didn't she was allowed to be free until a certain age.

Odin did not ask if this was what she wanted, she had no clue and her mind reading could only go so far. The ravens were only allowed to send certain thoughts and memories if there was no direct link between their master.

This time Sigyn knew why they must stay. Her recent defying orders from all three of them had led them to all find her someone that would control her and keep her in check.

The three merged back in with the small group, discussing what the plans were then next.

Heimdall looked upon them with his eyes. He stood tall and strong with his sword. Odin stood aways by him. His eye closed and his head bowed. The two were completely alone.

"Arrangements have been made," Heimdall called to Odin. "The three shall stay with this Midgardian Tony Stark for the rest of the time being. They stay in the towered fortress. Thor seems disgruntled but he does what to spend time with his Midgardian Maiden. It seems their feelings for one another are growing immensely. She has been granted access to this fortress at any time.

"All of their chambers are the same as before. Loki and Sigyn are speaking in thoughts." Heimdall has had an eye on them for quite some time. He knows when they are speaking to one another in thoughts. "They are arguing." Heimdall waited for a reaction from Odin, none had came. "The group dispersed, leaving Loki and Sigyn to head back to the balcony to argue more. Her thoughts turn to voice, they cannot go further until he decides what he exactly wants from her and his life. She will not allow for him to have all what he desires. It is one or the other." Heimdall smiled.

Odin opened his eye and raised his head. He headed over to stand by his side. Odin sighed, "He won't choose, they both know that. Not this early anyways. There is still hope for him."

"The council has been assembled again," Heimdall spoke. The council was made up of Jotuns, and Sigyn's parents.

"Keep watching them," Odin commanded. "Tell me if there has any decision has been made or pursuits made. I want every detail. No one else needs to know." Heimdall nodded.

Odin walked away. Matchmaking. He snorted. Let's see what folly shall be made at this meeting.

Back on Midgard, Thor wanted to visit the city of Manhattan more, since he had more time. He was about to leave but Tony had asked if he wanted to change into a different attire. Thor wanted to change but Tony was arguing about how his clothes would not fit him. Sigyn and Loki came upon them.

"Tis alright," Sigyn walked over to Thor. She touched his shoulder and his Asgardian garb switched to Midgardian attire. "It will come back if you are in dire need of it for now."

Thor looked down to what he was wearing it was a dark blue t-shirt that formed to his muscles and designer jeans that also could stand resistance. He had on black shoes. It was an outfit that looked like the one Jane had given him. He was off to go see her. She was on the first floor waiting for him.

"A dear friend you are," he smiled at Sigyn. He then followed Tony to the elevator. Tony handed him a phone which Thor was confused at.

"Just give it to Jane, she will know what to do with it." He then came back over to Sigyn and Loki. "I'm surprised you got the look of him," Tony mused. "Last I knew he wore flannel or chainmail."

"Yes, but I believe this dressing garb reminds him of the one his fair maiden gave to him," Sigyn smiled.

"How much of Midgard do you know?" Tony speculated.

"Plenty," Sigyn's smiled started to fade away. "Though there is always more knowledge and lessons to be learned."
