Chapter 3
My life isn't so bad
Eostre was waiting her mother in Metrom and Frigga was late. It was something that had never happened before. Today she will leave for her vacation and her mother had said she wanted to send her off. Eostre still didn't know what her father thought about this. She had tried to ask her mother but she had avoided giving her a straight answer. She hoped her mother wasn't late because her father and brothers made a fuss. She really wanted to go.
"Are you ready?" a familiar voice asked.
"Yeah, I'm waiting for my mother." Eostre didn't bother to ask how Death knew she was going on a vacation. He was a stalker and Eostre was his favorite pass time.
"Are you excited?" Eostre looked at him blankly, saying 'for what' with her eyes. "It will be your first visit after the destruction."
"I don't know. Truthfully, I don't think about my past life much and I watch humans from here so…" Eostre shrugged her shoulder. Humans didn't matter to her anymore.
"You are nervous. You don't know what to expect or how to act because you know you aren't part of Earth's life." Death said what she was thinking. "Believe me Earth didn't change much except there is no magic. You will have a great time, believe me. Maybe, I should come with you."
"No!"
"Why not?" Death whined, turning himself a beautiful women. "We can have sleepover and you can tell me everything. I can be your best girl friend, showing you how to have a great time. We can even share our secrets."
"No, thanks." Eostre had known his female form from her mother's story but she always saw Death in male form so seeing him in his women form was awkward and weird. Also what secrets? Death knew everything about her without her saying anything. He was her personal stalker who loved to annoy her.
Changing back to his male form Death pouted. He wanted to have fun with his master. They didn't spend much time with each other like the old days. They used to travel different places, watching people's life together. Death knew the reason for that. Harriet had been free. She hadn't had any responsibilities or anyone except him but Eostre had a family. She couldn't leave them and Odin was protective of his only daughter. Eostre needed his permission to go anywhere. It cut their private time. At least he could still watch her. Heimdall might see everything but Death was invisible to every living thing as long as he wished it. He loved watching her invisibly. Yep, he loved stalking her. Maybe he should go to a psychologist. The last time he had gone to a psychologist was fun. Death had sent the doctor to a mental hospital after talking two hours with her. It was great times.
"Your mother is coming!"
"Yeah, I felt her too." Her mother was coming here personally. It made her nervous. The only time she had come to her kingdom personally was the day Eostre had finished creating her kingdom. As the royal family they had many enemies so Frigga wasn't allowed to leave the castle without guards. Like herself Frigga didn't love traveling with guards so she used her reflection to go anywhere. Even coming to her daughter's kingdom alone was forbidden. Her father was too paranoid for everyone's good. "You should leave."
Death nodded. He didn't have any intention of meeting with Frigga personally. She could sense his powers. It was something he wasn't ready for. He melted into the shadows. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" his voice echoed in the room.
Eostre looked the place Death had stood seconds ago disbelievingly. Death was too childish for his age. "What is the meaning of don't do anything I wouldn't do. You do everything you think it is funny." She yelled after him, knowing he won't hear her.
The room's door opened and Frigga entered, looking grim. Seeing her face, Eostre knew something was wrong. Maybe her father didn't allow her to go or something was wrong with Asgard. She hoped it wasn't the second option.
"Good you are ready. Come on!" Frigga said after seeing her bags and human clothes. She left the room without looking back.
"Mother what is going on?" She ran after Frigga with her bags flying behind her.
"I'm sending you off."
"I can see that!" Eostre snapped without thinking. She hated when someone forced her to do something without explaining anything. Eostre didn't care it was her mother. "Mother what's going on?" Frigga didn't answer.
When they stepped out from front gate of her castle, Frigga stopped walking. "Lock your castle."
"Why?"
"First, lock your castle and I will tell you everything."
"Fine!" Eostre wanted answers now but she knew she couldn't change her mother's mind. Her mother was as stubborn as herself. Holding her left hand against the gate, she sent her magic through the castle, locking it down. No one can enter the castle until she unlocks it. After she finished her task, she looked her mother, waiting her to speak.
Frigga looked at her daughter's emerald green eyes in wonder. The color was so unique. She never saw eyes so green, so powerful. It was drawing people's attention. You could get lost in these eyes. Her daughter was beautiful in her own right but her eyes made her stunning. Eostre always wore her emotions in her eyes. Right now Frigga could see a storm was coming from her eyes. It looked like she had angered her daughter.
"I talked with your father and he said, you cannot leave anywhere without your guards. If you don't want your guards, you can go with your brothers." Eostre opened her mouth to object but her mother stopped her by raising her hand. "I know you don't like his options so I convinced him to let you stay here for two weeks. No one will disturb you."
"But I will not stay here." Eostre couldn't believe what her mother was saying. She never lied to her father and her own mother was encouraging her to lie. Yes, she wanted to go but was it worth it to lie to her father?
"Eostre, maybe you will never have this opportunity in your life. Don't waste it." Frigga said, knowing her daughter's thoughts. Eostre was open book, if you knew how to read it. She put her hands on either side of Eostre's head, holding her gently. "You need this my daughter. You work too much without resting enough while your brothers travel around the universe. You aren't lying, I am. We will tell your father when you come back, okay?"
Her mother was right. She wasn't the one who was lying to her father. She was only following the plan, knowing her father wouldn't be happy with her. Of course they could hide it from him. Heimdall couldn't see her kingdom or herself so Odin wouldn't know anything but the question was could she do it? Who she was kidding? She had one chance. Either she will use it or not and wasting an opportunity wasn't in her book. She nodded, answering her question.
Frigga smiled, kissing her forehead. "Then go and have fun."
Eostre thanked her mother with a warm smile and in a second she was gone. She never thought about her brothers coming here to be with her on her vacation or her father finding out about her little run away. She didn't know this, enjoying her time off while her father and brothers tear the nine realm apart.
Tony Stark was in hell. There was no other description for what he was experiencing. Around him people were laughing behind their hands and talking with each other happily. He could hear slow music and click of crystal glasses. Waiters were serving drinks and food, making sure everyone was happy. The decoration was expensively tasteful. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. Everyone was enjoying themselves except one person. Tony Stark was far away from having fun.
The party was so boring. He hadn't slept for forty-eight hour so the slow music wasn't helping him. People's laughs were so fake it was making him sick. Normally it wouldn't affect him. After all he was used to living with less sleep and seeing fake smiles. It was his life. He was Tony Stark, one of the richest persons in the world. People always acted differently in front of him to impress him so he gave himself to his toys, his creations. Once his mind set on something, he couldn't sleep until he finished his project. In the end his body was used to not sleeping enough but now he couldn't sleep because of nightmares. When he closed his eyes, he saw his time in Afghanistan.
'My life sucks' Tony thought, watching others from a corner. Normally he wouldn't have come here but his so called friend Rhodey had insisted. Rhodey had even forced him to come here, saying he should have fun like the old days. The problem was Tony wasn't his old self anymore. Not after Obadiah and Pepper. Pepper his lover; the women he was ready to die for had cheated on him. After he had found a way to save himself from his old arc-reactor, which was poisoning his body, he had believed Pepper and he could live together happily. His dream had crushed before his eyes when he had caught her with another man inside his office. His office! Could you believe that? She had slept with someone else in his damn office. Immediately had broken up with her and changed her position in the company. Now, he was CEO of his company again and he didn't have anyone to rely on.
His life was bad, awful, terrible, and horrible, you can pick one of them, Tony wasn't picky. Every word described how he felt about his life perfectly. No one loved him or cared about him. He had no one. He was all alone. Every person he had cared for betrayed him, stabbing him from behind when he had least expect it. Even SHILD didn't want him as a super hero.
He wanted to leave this stupid party. His tie was squeezing his throat and he felt dizzy. He shouldn't drink the last bottle. Tony searched for Rhodey with his eyes. He was flirting with a blond woman. Great, now he couldn't leave the party. They had come together and Tony was too drunk to leave on his own. Why had he given Happy a day off? The answer was simple, he had believed Rhodey would want to leave early like always but no, tonight his friend decided to surprise him by having fun.
Maybe walking would help him to clear his mind or he could always call his armor. The second option would anger many people including Rhodey, Fury and Jarvis so walking would be nice for now.
The party was held in a five star hotel. Walking around the lobby Tony didn't see any costumers. Most likely they were sleeping in their comfortable beds. It was something he envied right now. He wanted his big and comfortable bed. It was a first for him. Mostly he slept in his workshop, passing out on his couch and the one time he wished to sleep in his bed, he couldn't go home. Walking around aimlessly Tony entered the elevator and pressed a button without looking.
The alcohol was finally showing its effect. Tony could feel it. He was feeling dizzy and couldn't think clearly. Maybe he should stay in the hotel tonight. Money wouldn't be a problem.
Ding!
Elevator door opened and Tony exited. He didn't know where he was or where he was going and he didn't care. He heard a splash. Curiously he walked to where the sound came from. It was far harder than he thought. He was tripping on his own feet. He saw a big pool so he was in an indoor swimming pool. Great, now he needed to find what caused the sound. Looking around he didn't see anyone. Maybe he imagined it.
Splash!
In a flash he turned his head, losing his balance. He saw a woman but calling her a woman would be unfair. She was something else. Something he never saw. Her long golden hair was shining like a jewel; the water was dripping off her gorgeous and perfect body, teasing him. The bikini left little to the imagination but it made him desire to see more. Touch her. Emeralds couldn't come closer to her big green eyes. She had high cheekbones, a perfect nose and red lips. Her pale skin was glowing even in the dim light.
Tony saw all of this in a second. His mind didn't grasp what he was seeing in front of him. Seconds later he felt cold water and he knew no more.
Eostre was in heaven. She was on earth for two days and she was already glad, she had listened her mother. Her mother had made an excellent choice. She was staying at a five star hotel in Malibu. Her room had everything she needed, such as a big television, DVDs, a big bed, Jacuzzi and so much more. The best thing was her brothers weren't here. She was free of them. No more listening to their fights, no more cleaning their messes. She should thank her mother by buying her a gift. Maybe a necklace would be nice. She had seen beautiful jewels while she had been wondering around.
She didn't travel much yet, preferring stay close to hotel. She preferred to pamper herself by getting a massage, eating delicious food and caring for her body. Her mind was at ease. The only problem was her sleeping habits. As a Goddess she didn't need much sleep and she wasn't interested in going to nightclubs, so staying in the hotel room without doing anything was a little bit boring. Tonight was one of them.
She was bored and watching a movie wasn't enough. Maybe she should go to the pool in the hotel. The receptionist had said, she could use the indoor pool any time she wishes it. It would be nice swimming in a pool again. In both kingdoms they had large lakes and oceans for swimming so they didn't bother making one and Asgard didn't know what a pool was.
She wore a dress over her black bikini, covering her body. She wasn't insecure about her body. She knew she had a great body. She just didn't like to show it. It should be only for the eyes of her lover. Leaving her room she entered the elevator and she pushed the right button, waiting patiently. The elevator stopped when it came to the right floor.
Closing her eyes, Eostre used her powers to sense if someone was here. She didn't feel anyone. A smile appeared on her face. Great! She could swim in peace. Walking gracefully and no she wasn't running, she came closer to the pool. She took off her dress and jumped in the pool. The cold water felt good on her skin. She should build one in Metrom. They could have a barbecue party.
She didn't know how much time past but she felt a human, so someone wanted to use pool too. Her fun was over. Tomorrow night she will definitely come here again. She had a great time. Swimming towards a ladder, she exited from the pool. It was then she saw a man standing before her, more like trying to stand. It didn't look like he was doing a good job.
The man had brown hair and his body was well built. The man was handsome and charismatic. He turned suddenly, coming face to face with her. Brown met emeralds and in that moment Eostre saw his soul. His soul was so tired. It was full of betrayal. He was living without a reason. How dangerous.
"Watch out!" Eostre yelled but it was too late. The man lost his balance, falling into the pool.
Eostre waited for him to come out. The man wasn't moving. She cursed her luck. Waving her hand, the man flew from pool and lied down on the floor. She bent beside him not bothering the check if he was alive or not. She put her hand on his chest, sending her power through his body. Coughing he threw up water.
He was safe. The problem was what should she do with him? She could leave him here or she could call someone. She looked at his face. Lines were showing how hard his life was. Her fingers moved along with them, erasing his worry with her gentle touch. She saw her past in him. The past she had long forgotten. Her life began with Death. She made her decision.
Holding him she apparated them into her room. Gently she put him on the couch. Snapping her fingers, his clothes were dry in a second.
"Sleep well, you are safe!" Eostre whispered in his ear. Immediately his body relaxed and his breath slowed down. She didn't like to manipulate someone else with her powers but his body needed to sleep. Tomorrow she will wash her hands of him and she will continue her vacation like it never happened.
Eostre didn't know the man she saved was more persistent than anyone she ever met. Tony Stark didn't have any light in his life so he will draw to her like a moth drawn to flame.
Tony Stark woke up from the best sleep he'd had since he could remember. No dreams had troubled him, forcing him to watch his horrible memories. It took him a few moments to get his bearing. He wasn't in his room or workshop.
Where the hell was he?
Last night he had attended a party and it had been so boring he had drunk too much alcohol. Closing his eyes he forced his mind to remember last night.
"I walked around and hopped on an elevator. Why did I do that?" He didn't have any answer and it wasn't the first time he didn't have any answer for his behavior. He saw a pool in his mind than he saw a figure.
His eyes opened from shock. It couldn't be real. The vision of a woman he never met came into his mind. A woman with unearthly beauty. It wasn't possible. His mind was playing a trick on him but even the idea of her being an illusion hurt his heart. He wanted to meet with her. He wanted her to be real. No he needed it.
"Please be real!" Tony prayed.
First he should find where he was. He knew he was still in the hotel. Most likely they took him to a room after finding him in the pool but why didn't they put him in a bed instead of a couch? They should know who he was. He could easily buy the hotel so putting him in their most expensive room wouldn't be problem. He was in one of the suites but why not bother to put him in a bed. There was only one way to find out. Looking around he searched for a phone. He didn't believe his phone survived untouched from the fall.
"Finally you are awake," a gentle voice said.
Looking where the voice was coming from, Tony's breath hitched. The woman from last night was standing before him and she was as gorgeous as he believed. She was wearing tight black jeans and a simple white blouse, showing her perfectly shaped body. Her long golden hair was drawn back and tied at the back of her head. His fingers were itching to touch her hair to feel if her hair was as soft as it looked. Her face was free from any make up and it was something he never saw on the women around him. He didn't even see Pepper without make up. He respected her self-confidence.
"I hope you are fine?" Eostre didn't want to show her concern but he was making her worry. He was too still for his own good and he was looking at her like he was in a dream world.
Coming to his senses Tony waved his hand. "Yeah!" Looking at her face, last night hit him like a brick. Last night he had fallen into the pool. The worst part, she had seen it. Most likely she had been the one to save him from drowning. What a great start? "Please be a nightmare!"
Eostre laughed. It was music to his ear. "If you are talking about falling into the pool last night, I'm sorry to say, it was quite real." she confirmed what he was thinking. Her eyes were shining with amusement. "But don't worry only I saw it so your ego should be fine." She never liked to show any weakness and she could see he was like her. Making fun of the situation was the best solution for stopping him from drowning in self-misery. It will show she didn't care.
"My ego has lived through worse than this." It was the truth but Tony would have preferred to live them all instead of last night. He will never admit it out loud.
"Good for you." Eostre muttered, knowing he heard her. It wasn't something you should proud of. At least for her it wasn't. "I'm glad you are feeling fine. Do you wish to call someone?" she pointed out the phone.
"Nope!" No one was waiting him in his home. "Thanks for your help by the way."
He stood up, looking at her green eyes, waiting for her to say something. Normally he wouldn't mind leaving but he wanted to stay a little bit longer with her. He always followed his instincts and today was no different. "At least give me my savior's name?"
She decided to humor him. "Eostre!"
"Tony Stark!" He held his hand out. When she put her hand inside of his hand, Tony bent and kissed her hand. He had watched her movements carefully when he had said his name. It looked like she didn't know who he was. If he can play his card right, he could have a good friend. "At your services." His stomach rumbled loudly. "As a thank you allow me to take you to breakfast." He said, grinning sheepishly.
"Why not. I'm hungry and I don't know any place." Eostre agreed, shrugging her shoulder. She was hungry too and eating in the hotel was boring. She hoped he knew a great place to eat.
"Then as an American citizen it's my job to show you the beauty of this city so you can wish to come again. America shouldn't lose a beauty like you for a long time."
"How did you know I'm not from here?"
"Your accent. It is British right." She was talking like Jarvis and he had programmed it after British accent.
Of course she was talking with an accent. It was what she had used to talk like in her past life. Coming to Earth her mind automatically started her usual talking when she was here. Eostre wanted to hit her head. "You can say that. Are we going or not?" she asked, changing the subject. She didn't wish to lie.
"You are not running away from my 'thank you for saving my life' gift." Tony looked at his clothes. He was still in his suit. He needed to change his clothes before they could go anywhere. He needed to call Happy so he can bring his car and some clothes. "Meet with me fifteen minutes from now in the lobby."
Tony didn't wait for her answer. He was already outside, leaving a confused Eostre behind. She hoped agreeing with him wasn't a bad idea. She didn't want to regret coming to Earth just because she met the wrong guy in her second day.
Blue Roselette- You will see how Thor, Loki and Odin will react to her little vacation after she returns to Asgard but I can say they will be her personal stalker like Death. I will try to follow timeline without changing little things.
LikaNues- It is end of Iron Man 2 and beginning of Thor movie.
Utasaki N- I will write it in Avengers timeline because it will be important.
JustAReader- Because Eostre isn't only a Goddess of Death. She is literally master of death. Hel is ruler of Helheim, the underworld where dead dwell so they are different. Eostre could create or take a life without any consequence. I will mention it in later chapters but Eostre is also Goddess of Life. Her situation is little bit different. They call her Goddess of Death because they don't know anything will fit her.
StrawHatLuffy94- Hel is exist but I don't think I will write about them because they weren't in the movies.
Of Stories Told- They won't be happy with Tony but the worst part for Tony is Odin will hate him too. Poor Tony! Three Gods after him because he fall in love with their precious angel.
I'm still not sure what I will do with Loki. Will he be good or stay bad? My mind change all the time.
