Resume. Alexandra spends the next few months in Asgard. Frigga, Loki and Thor discuss fate.

Ps. Please do remember to pay attention to details, might come handy later ;)


Next morning Alexandra woke up fairly early, she regretted that Asgard didn't have coffee and wondered if she could introduce coffee and cacao to Asgardians, it was almost a crime that they didn't produce chocolate, although Asgardian oatmeal cookies were the bomb, those were the perfect combination of crunchy and sweet and Alexandra had Thor deliver her a bag of cookies to her room. When she went out of her room, wearing one of the golden dresses that Tony had bought her she decided to just walk around the place.

Asgard was beautiful in the mornings, the sky glowed with a pinkish hue and she could see the several moons and stars, she walked around, bag of cookies in hand and Stark-Pad in hand, munching happily as she went. She ended up in a small courtyard were children were playing with a weird ball, she sat under the shade of a tree with her bag of cookies and observed them, taking in the domesticity of the place, kids, no matter where they were born, would be kids. She sat there for what seemed hours, reading a novel in her Stark-Pad as Asgard didn't have Internet or any kind of connection.

Thor found her under the tree, dozing; empty bag of cookies by her side and Stark-Pad cradled in her hands; she looked peaceful. Thor crouched next to her and shook her gently, her eyes fluttered open and she was confused for a moment until she remembered where she was.

"Hi" she greeted Thor sleepily, he offered her a smile.

"Mother has been looking for you all morning," he told her, she gave him a sleepy nod and hummed "It's almost lunch time and she wants to have lunch with you in her gardens again"

"I'm coming," she murmured trying to find a comfortable position to continue sleeping again.

Thor chuckled and resolved to pick her up, minding her Stark-Pad. As soon as she was secured in his arms she unconsciously cuddled up to him burying her face in the crook of his neck. He carried her through the busy streets of Asgard into the palace and to his mother's gardens where Frigga and Loki were waiting for him, already sipping wine.

Frigga smiled at the sight of Thor holding a still sleeping Alexandra, "Place her here" Frigga said motioning to a small bundle of silks and pillows next to her, Thor carefully placed Alexandra where his mother had pointed and placed her Stark-Pad next to her.

"Found her under a tree in the city, she ate all the cookies I got her last night" Thor said as he sat next to Loki.

"Quite amusing isn't she?" asked Frigga brushing a strand of hair off Alexandra's face.

"For a midgardian she is" said Loki, Frigga frowned at him and he rolled his eyes "She's insightful and wise beyond her years, whoever raised her did a marvelous job, and I believe Stark has done his part too, she speaks fondly of him"

"Stark, Thor's friend" Frigga said, her sons nodded.

"A very resourceful midgardian, I believe Midgard's only hope if Thanos does come for them" said Loki looking at Alexandra.

"Hopefully it won't come to it" Frigga said.

"Lady Alexandra's knowledge can be used to help us, which is why I decided to bring her here" Thor said.

"Which was a wise decision no matter what your father thinks of her" said Frigga, Thor nodded.

"Although she's shown that she won't let father or anyone discourage her for being what she is" Thor pointed out, Frigga smiled and took a sip of her wine.

"She has fire within herself," Frigga agreed.

"Much like her father, Stark proved to be a worthy foe during my skirmish in Midgard" said Loki.

"Yes friend Stark is unique in the way he treats others, little regard for his own safety I believe," added Thor.

"I believe that I could teach her the ways of the Seidr, it would help her in her quest" said Frigga absentmindedly running her hand through Alexandra's hair.

"Would that be wise mother? A midgardian capable of magic" asked Loki, Frigga smiled at him.

"She wouldn't be the first, I believe that there's a group of midgardians that call themselves sorcerers that are tasked with protecting one of midgard's greatest treasures, in my time I have encountered a few and when they were more connected with us, I even taught a few of them myself" she explained, Loki and Thor looked at their mother confused, she laughed "You both were growing up so fast that I needed to do something with my spare time"

"Of course you did mother" said Loki, a smile on his face.

"Mother, do you truly think Lady Alexandra will play an important part in our futures?" asked Thor after a while, Frigga looked at her eldest and nodded.

"I believe so, yes, there has been echoes for as long as I could remember, I've seen yours woven through Yggdrasil since you were babes, but hers is different, I feel the Norns hesitancy over her life, as if she was not be, but she is, fate is changing my sons and the Norns will not be able to foresee it" Frigga said with a far off look on her face, Thor and Loki exchanged worried glances.

"All because of a little midgardian girl?" asked Loki, disbelief in his voice.

"When she first stepped on Asgard your father felt the universe shift, he wanted to kill her, as the Norns would have wanted, he was not expecting her fire, but rather a meek being capable of being manipulated into silence for good, but she has spoken and she seems very interested in carrying out her deeds"

"Will we be punished?" asked Thor, now eyeing the sleeping girl warily.

"No, I do not believe that we will, something bigger than us, bigger than the Norns is at play, free will is upon us, the way we know and understand prophecy has changed, the wheel of destiny has been broken" Frigga explained.

"What if she hadn't been able to get in contact with us, if she hadn't been Stark's daughter?" asked Loki interested; Frigga shook her head.

"Then her echo would have been no more than a faint whisper, another midgardian bound to be locked up for seeing things that nobody else can explain,"

The trio stayed in silence after their conversation, Thor and Loki not sure of what to do with the new information, if their mother was right then Ragnarok was not to be a possibility hanging over their heads, the destruction of their home would not come to pass and maybe, just maybe they would get to see their mother grow even older as she was fairly young, for a goddess that was.

When Alexandra finally woke up the sun was starting to set over the golden city, Alexandra blinked a few times before pushing herself to a sitting position and blearily looking around, Thor and Loki seemed to be immersed in what looked to be a wicked looking chess match while Frigga had a book on her lap and a fruit basket next to her.

"I believe you had a good nap, Alexandra" said Frigga without looking at her.

"Uh, yeah" Alexandra answered voice raspy, Frigga looked at her and handed her a glass of water; Alexandra muttered a quick thank you before downing the whole thing. She figured that it was pointless asking the time since they didn't seem to use clocks in Asgard.

"We already ate, but if you're hungry I can send a maid to fetch something for you" Frigga said capturing Alexandra's attention, Alexandra placed a hand on her stomach and nodded; Frigga smiled.

Not ten minutes later, a warm plate filled with cheeses and hams was placed on Alexandra's lap, she ate while observing Thor and Loki's match, Loki seemed to be winning, although Thor didn't seem to be doing that bad. After she ate she placed the plate next to her and was handed a wet towel so she could clean her hands, a maid took her plate and towel away and Alexandra contented herself with watching the sunset, Asgard was truly beautiful at any time.

"Maybe tomorrow you'd like to take a walk with me?" asked Frigga, Alexandra looked at the Queen and smiled.

"I would love to" she said, Frigga nodded.

"Hopefully you wont fall asleep on us" she commented, Alexandra blushed and looked down to her lap, Frigga laughed "Not that there is something wrong with it, today was a peaceful day and you don't snore, unlike some sons of mine"

Thor and Loki protested while Alexandra laughed and thought that if there was someone that should have been name god or goddess of mischief it should have been Queen Frigga. After sitting next to Frigga and watching Thor and Loki play for another stretch of time, Thor escorted her to her rooms where he promised to pick her up for the dinner feast. As soon as he left she filled her tub with warm water and lavender scented oils. She stayed in her tub until the water got cold and dressed herself slowly. It had been one of those peaceful days, in another life and another universe she would have spent that kind of day with a box of pepperoni pizza and a bottle of wine, not moving from her comfortable bed and probably re-watching Supernatural on Netflix. Not that sleeping all day while on Asgard was bad, it was just perspective.

The days kept passing and weeks turned into months, Alexandra had adapted into her weird life, she was never alone, either Thor or Loki were always with her, and sometimes Frigga joined them. Loki had showed her Asgard's library, but all the books were written in a runic language that she didn't really understood, so most times Loki, or Thor if he was in the mood, read for her. Frigga for her part had started teaching magic to Alexandra, resulting in several burnt drapes and trees. Alexandra had decided that fire was a wicked power to have and since Frigga had told her about perspective she wondered if she could handle the fire like the firebenders from Avatar, so what, she had loved the show and then The Legend of Korra, Zuko's redemption arc had been her favorite.

Fire powers aside, she and Odin still didn't see eye to eye, he had refused to look for the Aether claiming it was safe, it had resulted in a screaming match between god and girl, which is why many of Asgard's citizens tended to steer clear of her path. Another of her 'friends' was Heimdall who often delivered her letters to Tony and Tony's letters back. According to Tony the Siberian bunker had been destroyed and he was really advanced working in the Iron Legion, he had also started looking for wherever Bucky was stashed away, because if Tony could find him before Hydra made their move, it was a point to Team Stark. Pepper often sent letters too, detailing what was going with Alexandra's Stark Industries Security Division.

FRIDAY and JARVIS had sent her printed letters detailing everything that was going with Protocol KDS and how JARVIS had taken a ore direct approach on Stark Industries, Pepper backing him up, according to him his e-mail direction identified him as Jarvis S. from Corporate, Los Angeles Branch, (Miss Potts' second assistant) while FRIDAY's e-mail was Friday S. from Security, New York Branch. Soon enough Alexandra had to take time of her days to answer all the letters, which amused Loki and Frigga to no end, until Alexandra explained that she was a Division Head and now was managing everything from Asgard, although she was sure that Tony was probably working on a way to get wireless to work in Asgard, it was only a matter of Time, her father was Tony Stark after all.
