Asgard
Dream's filled Hera's mind as she rested, seeing her ex Zeus the way that he was truly made her fearful, The look on his face reminded her of her father kronos and the atrocities he committed to his own family. She would see flashs of events that transpired before she lost consciousness, wondering if Thor saving her was all simply a dream but then she felt herself gaining strength and slowly she began to open her eyes to see a room made entirely out of gold and a warm peaceful atmosphere calming her body and as she began to look around the room she saw the god who saved her from her ex.
A large man dressed in dark armor with long breath taking blonde hair setting quietly on a chair next to her bed. "Hail Lady Hera of Olympus, how are you feeling?" Thor gently spoke to the goddess, Hera paused for a moment, a little confused as to where she was but gently replied with a warm smile"I feel okay, um.." Hera hesitated as she didn't know how properly address Thor, "Hail Thor Odinson, The Norse God of Thunder and King of Asgard" Hera said with a small blush to which Thor simply replied "Please Lady Hera there's no need for formalities, you can call me just call me Thor or even Donald hehe" Thor said with a warm chucklely smile, Hera softly let out a few hearty laughs before wincing in pain, "Are you okay?" Hera reassured him "Just a little bit of lingering pain, nothing to worry about... But I feel better now and I think I can get up now." Hera said as she slowly got out of the bed, still feeling a little weak she fell foward but before she hit the ground Thor caught her in his arms. "Easy there Lady Hera are you sure you want to up at the moment?" Thor said as he felt her small frame press up against his body making his face burn up while Hera too was blushing up a storm, "I'll be fine Thor" She said as she raised her face from his chest to meet his eyes, "Well in the case let me escort you outside as i've made preperations for breakfast if you're hungry, and we can have some peace to talk about how we both ended up as neighbours back on earth haha" Thor smiled while Hera graciously accepted "It would be an honor Thor..." Hera paused then a beautiful smile shined on her face as she looked at Thor and then said "Please Thor, you can just call me Hera hehe." Thor returning the smile and kindly nodded at the beautiful goddess.
As Thor escorted Hera through the halls of his palace, she couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of it as it may very well surpass the throne room of Olympus in terms of sheer elegance but her thoughts changed as she made her way outside with Thor that her previous thoughts were completely blown away, The stunning nature combined with grandness of the Asgardian architecture easily blew olympus out of the water, but she was well aware of what happened to Asgard and it's people during the Ragnarok and Infinity War crisis, She then turned her face to Thor who looked gentle, as if he wouldn't hurt a fly, she admired him that he had fought to save not just his people but mortals as well.
As They continued to walk outside she saw a adorable table with two chairs and a servant waiting to serve them "Welcome home King Thor Odinson, God of Thunder and Avenger." The servant said to an embarrassed Thor who kindly replied "I know i'm your king but please just call me Thor" Thor said with an almost childlike embarrassment to which Hera simply giggled at. "Of course Ki.. uh Thor, Please Lady Hera enjoy the delicacies of Asgard"
Hera gave a warm smile to the servant and softly spoke "You can simply call me Hera, I don't mind hehehe." Hera said as she giggled. " And thank you for preparing this meal for us." The servant blushed and gave a respectful nod "Of course Hera, please don't hesitate to call me if you require anything else." The servant said he quietly walked away from his king and guest.
"I don't think there's been a Olympian on Asgard since your mother Lady Rhea, Gods that was a very long time ago." Thor said as being the gentleman offered Hera a chair to sit on, "Yes, I had only heard stories of her visits here to spend time with Frigga and Odin, She always talked about the beauty of Asgard but to honest I thought she was exaggerating but seeing Asgard for the first time... It's truly breathtaking. Thor gave small grin with and slight frown at the mention of his parents, but he shook it off as he looked at Hera's face as she was staring at the restored Asgard, She was amazed and happy as she looked around but her eyes were weary and subtlety sad.
"Well Thor, I think we should dig in don't you think?" Hera said as Thor happily nodded.
New York
High above the city in a highrise apartment the stunning, kind loving mother of the Olympians Lady Rhea had witnessed The event's that transpired the previous night, exremely worried about her daughter Hera and absolutely disgusted with her youngest son Zeus' behavior but very curious about The Norse god's involvement with Hera and the fact that the Norse God of Thunder took Her to Asgard. 'Hera, my sweet baby what happened to you, why did you leave Olympus...What is your relationship with Thor Odinson?' Rhea paused with seething anger and yelled out "AND ZEUS MY YOUNGEST SON, WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING!? HOW DARE YOU THREATEN YOUR WIFE." Rhea calmed herself as she worried about her daughter 'I need to call Hestia, I need to tell her that i'm heading to Asgard and to not tell any of the other olympians about it. She is the only one who can calm them down if they find out, she needs to be prepared for it.'
Rhea makes her call to Hestia and not long afterwards her eldest child arrives, When Rhea explained what Zeus did it enraged the usually kind and sweet goddess "Mother is Hera alright!? hestia getting teary eyed, "Yes, was saved an Asgardian, or rather Thor Odinson, King of Asgard and Avenger" Hestia's eyes bulged with shock, "You're telling me that Thor Odinson saved Hera? Where are they now?" Rhea simply responded "The Realm Eternal, Asgard." Hestia almost fainted "Mother no Olympian has been to Asgard, I thought they were forbidden from entering." Rhea sighed as she explained a story that no one had ever heard of before, It was the time Zeus acted like a complete fool and threatened Odin while on Asgard, he claimed that the Asgardians were false gods and refused to acknowledge the fact that the Greek pantheon wasn't the only one in existence, The Shinto, Roman, Asgardian, Hindu and many more. Zeus flew into a irrational paranoid rant that widdled it's way to down right threatening Odin and his Wife Frigga, "So from that day on All Olympians were forbidden with the exception of me and you considering you're not a part of the Olympian council, As to why Hera was allowed must be because Thor allowed her since he became king, he must of made her the exception." Rhea sighed as she looked at Hestia.
"Hestia I've changed my mind and I want you to come with me to Asgard to check up on your sister, I get the feeling that i'm going to need your help to comfort Hera, Do not worry sweet daughter, we will not stay long and I'll make sure that the council doesn't find out." Hestia was very hesitant but in the end, she would do anything for her family, "Okay mother, i'll come with you." Rhea gave her daughter a loving hug and quietly said "Let's be on our way."
Asgard
"By the Gods this food is incredible." Hera beamed with happiness, the meal reminded her of her sister Hestia's cooking.
Thor chuckled "I'm glad you enjoy it, however this is nothing compared to late mothers cooking." Thor said with a nostalgic look of happiness from the memories of his kind mothers meals when him and loki were children.
Hera smiled as she knew exactly what he meant "I know right, I have a lot of fond memories of mother Rhea's cooking, and no matter what foods I eat it can't compare with a good home cooked meal from your mother."
Thor blushed at the sight of Hera's smile. "Yes I remember whenever Rhea came to visit, Rhea and my mother Frigga would cook Loki and I a wonderful dinner."
Hera looked at Thor curiously, wondering why her mother Rhea was allowed in Asgard when the Olympians were forbidden from entering Asgard? So she nervously asked Thor why, "Thor if you don't mind me asking...Um why were the Olympians forbidden to come here to Asgard?"
Thor looked at her with a deep frown which unnerved Hera while Thor simply sighed and said "Hera...The reason why Olympians are forbidden is because of" Thor paused as he didn't want to bring up her crazed foolish ex but realising that she put forward the question to Thor she deserved to know the truth. "Zeus, it's because of Zeus" Hera paused at the mention of her ex husband, her eyes were slightly tearing up when she stopped herself and asked Thor why it was Zeus' fault. "Because we were on good terms with Rhea she asked Odin for permission to bring her youngest son here to Asgard in the hopes that Zeus would start building relationships with the other pantheons of the world, however during a private dinner with Odin, Frigga, Loki and me with Rhea and a younger Zeus and his rude attitude had caused tempers to flair between Odin and Zeus but luckily your mother and mine managed to calm things down."
Hera was shocked but realised that there was more to the story and promptly asked Thor to continue" "That was just the beginning, the next day my parents and your mother were sharing each others company with tea and treats and Zeus decided to explore the palace when he came upon Loki and I training with our powers, when he saw my thunder abilities he flew into a rage shouting at me for using ''His Power" He began calling me, Loki and the rest of the Asgardians false gods and tried to attack Loki and I but we managed to get to our parents before he could do anything and as soon as Zeus caught up to Loki and I with our parents and your mother, Zeus screamed at Rhea demanding why was I The Norse God of Thunder allowed to used "His Power"
"Silence Zeus shouted Rhea, But Zeus would not heed your mothers request and flew into rant that made a insane man sound sane, He refused to acknowledge any pantheon other than the Greeks as the true rulers amongst the gods. Odin was not amused by his close friends son acting like this but decided to be gentle for the sake of Frigga and your mother Rhea.
"Zeus please calm yourself, and Tell us why you refuse to acknowledge the other pantheons?" Odin said as kind as possible how Zeus was too far gone during his ramblings and snapped and went too far when he threatened Frigga and Odin's lives for well, in this mind they were talking down to him, THE KING OF GODS!"
"And with that threat Odin unleashed his power easily dwarfing Zeus, HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY REALM AND THREATEN MY FAMILY, WHO IN THE HEL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!...out...I WANT YOU OUT OF ASGARD IMMEDIATELY, I WILL NOT STRIKE YOU DOWN AS I STILL HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR MOTHER BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ZEUS, YOU THREATEN MY FAMILY OR ASGARD EVEN ONCE, I WILL MARCH THE FULL MIGHT OF ASGARD TO OLYMPUS AND DESTROY IT FOREVER. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD ALL OLYMPIANS ON THE COUNCIL ARE HEREBY FORBIDDEN TO EVER STEP FOR ON ASGARD, ANY OLYMPIAN WHO TAKES EVEN A STEP INTO ASGARD WILL BE SEEN AS AN ACT OF WAR, AS LONG AS I'M KING NO OLYMPIAN SHALL SEE ASGARD. NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT.
"Loki and myself were standing with Frigga and Rhea staring at Zeus while Odin Summoned the Bifrost and sent Zeus tumbling towards earth, more specifically a swamp out in the bayou of louisiana, Odin turned to Rhea, Rhea could do nothing but apologise to which Frigga rushed to Rhea feeling her sorrow and frustration gave her a comforting hug while Odin looked at Rhea with a slight frown on his usually stoic face, "I'm truly sorry Rhea i am but I will not tolerate any threat to my family. You and your eldest child Hestia are still welcome here, however the others of the olympian council are not so long as I'm King of Asgard.
Thor looked at Hera with slight frown, "So that's the reason why no Olympians are allowed on Asgard and before you ask I've allowed you to stay here on Asgard because I can feel the pain you've suffered while being married to Zeus and I know you're a kind hearted Goddess that, like me had flaws that were ugly and spiteful but by living amongst the mortals we both learned the positive qualities that mortal's possess. We learnt kindness, compassion and most of all... To be human."
All the strength hera was using to back her tears had completely shattered at her tears started flowing and Thor slowly rised from his chair and walked to Hera and knelt on one knee to the beautiful goddess "I'm sorry Hera, I didn't mean to upset you" Hera's eyes looked at the king knelt down to hera and she saw the concern on his face to which she went in for a hug, she desperately needed to feel comforted, Thor's head felt it was going to explode with how red his face was getting.
Hera looked back Thor, "I need to tell you why I left Zeus"
