A.N Sorry for a short chapter here you go! P.S. who saw Avengers: Age of Ultron?

I could hear my heart pounding while I waited. It was probably early in the morning in New York.

"Hello" I smiled when I heard his voice, my throat clenched and tears of joy built. "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's me daddy" I said

"Kida? Kida where are you? Are you on Earth?" He asked "When did you get here?"

"I'm in London right now, something bad happened in Asgard and Thor took me here to see Jane. We arrived about an hour ago."

"Ok stay right there I'm coming to get you."

"Dad don't"

"What do you mean?" He sounded hurt

"Because the fight isn't over yet and this is not some terrorist group, or corrupt businessmen. These are beings from other worlds you have never encountered before. I don't want you to get hurt. And besides I still have to talk to Odin. Thor and I kind of…committed treason."

"Treason! What did you do?!"

"I'll explain everything later daddy ok, but listen I will be home by tomorrow night I promise you."

"We're having Chinese for diner, I'll make sure to set up a plate in your spot."

"I love you daddy"

"I love you too"

"And don't tell Pepper, I want it to be a surprise." I could hear him chuckle

"Alright sweetie, be safe."

"I will" I hung up and turned around to see Thor in the doorway. "Jesus Christ Thor! I thought big guys made some noise when they moved."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I overheard your conversation with your father." He walked in and sat down next to me. "You really do miss him."

"I do, I miss everything from Midgard. Mostly my parents." I played with my hands I needed to get something off my chest. "Thor…I need to know I tried everything I could to help him. But…his wound was forming onto me. That dark magic i-it"

"Ssshhh" He wrapped his giant arm around me.

I covered my lips as they began to tremble, I still felt the strong guilt in my chest. I couldn't save my friend's brother. He just held me close him until I finally pulled away.

"I know you miss home…and I promise after all of this is over. You will return to your home."

"But we committed treason" I reminded

"I will tell the All-Father I forced you to help us."

"No" I stood up and stared down at him "I can't let you take the punishment for my crime. We did this together and we will face the punishment together. Do you understand me?"

Instead of responding he smiled, the shine in his eyes finally returned in that moment.

"You sound like your mother." He stood up and kissed the top of my head. "I recommend getting some sleep. You're going to need some rest."

"Goodnight Thor"

He walked out of my room and closed the door behind me. I fell onto the bed, I cocooned myself in the sheets and rolled around in the bed. I wasn't able to sleep for hours, I looked at the clock and saw it was five in the morning.

"Well…I'll sleep tomorrow night then" I mumbled to myself

I cleaned my armor and put it back on, I walked to the empty living room and began to make some coffee. I looked at the table in the middle of the room and saw Thor's hammer in the middle of the table. Just sitting there. I looked around to see no one coming in, when the coast was clear I slowly walked to the hammer. As I reached out to the handle I could feel the electrical power radiate off it, leaving a warm tingle on my hand. But it suddenly flew past me, I turned around and saw Thor in the hallway. He smiled and walked up to me, his giant hand ruffled my hair.

"You can try again when you're older."

"I'm only one century younger than you." I said as he walked to the kitchen. "That's not much of a difference…and good lord man do you ever wear a shirt?"

"I feel like it's better if he doesn't sleep with clothes on." I turned around to see Jane walk in. "It makes him feel warm."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." Jane walked up to Thor. Thor picked her up in his arms and kissed her before grabbing a cup for her. I quickly turned away from them, their relationship…the kind I've dreamed of having with Steve…the kind I probably won't have.

"Kida are you ok?" Jane asked concerned

"I'm fine…just nervous for Malekith"

"Do not worry, Erik has come up with a plan." He said "And I will deal with Odin afterwards, while you return to your home with Stark and Lady Pepper."

Chapter Song

I can't sleep tonight

Wide awake and so confused

Everything's in line

But I'm bruised

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home
