You sat back on the sofa thinking over everything that they had told you. You were overwhelmed and confused but tried not to show it. Carefully you plotted out what you would say.

"So you have decided that to encourage peace you should arrange political marriages between the realms."

"Well yes sort of."

"And you are asking me for what exactly. This isn't really my area of expertise here. I plan weddings. Shouldn't you be, I don't know consulting SHIELD or the world council about this?"

Seeing that this was getting nowhere Natasha stood up and pushed Tony aside.

"Getting to the point then. SHIELD has already been notified but it is ultimately not their decision. It is up to you wether or not to accept the proposal. Marriage proposal that is of course."

"What! Marriage proposal? You want me to marry and Asguardian. Why? I'm not..."

"We needed someone that we, that I trusted to handle what we are asking here."

"Thor I don't think I'm qualified for such an important task. Honestly you guys barely know me and now you want me to foster peace between realms?"

"There is another reason we chose you ( ). It appears that you have a special talent. You are resistant to certain types of magic. When we first began to search out candidates for the marriage we looked through SHIELD's database for anyone with special talents. It would be easier for someone like that to adapt to the magic in Asguard."

"Special talents? I never knew..."

"We try to keep it that way."

"The point is you are very talented ( ), and you are pure of heart. If anyone can do this can."

"Why do I feel like there is something you aren't telling me?"

"There is a lot we aren't telling you ( ), mostly for you safety. You should know that SHIELD won't really take no for an answer either."

"Is that a threat Tony?"

"More of a warning."

"I guess I don't have much of a choice then. If I really am the one you think needs to do this then I will. I owe you for saving me anyway." You couldn't help but feel like you were trapped in a box. You had no choice in this. It was really just an arranged marriage. The only difference, instead of your parents it appeared the government was selling you off.

"There is one more thing ( )."

"Yes?"

"You were closed specially because we believe that you are the only person who could change him." Tony looked at you with sim pathetic eyes. "I really can't believe I'm agreeing to this but it wasn't up to me."

"God Tony stop acting like a protective father. What are you talking about!" Thor spoke up instead.

"The one piece we have left out ( ) is that you will be marrying my brother. This will make you an Asguardian princess."

"Princess?... Wait your brother as in the master of magic, god of mischief, brother"

"That's a less incriminating way to say it but yes."

"You left out psychopathic murderer ( )" Natasha spoke up.

"Not helping" Steve glared at her. Thor ignored them and continued.

"My father decided that the only way to peace was through politics and since I had already married we gave him a choice."

"Turns out he values physical freedom over the old ball and chain" Tony joked.

"He doesn't believe in the marriage but has agreed. Now all that is left to be done is to make it official."

"This changed things. I can't be a princess. How can you expect me to do that?"

"You have nothing to fear ( ). As I said before you are the only qualified choice."

"And you don't have a choice." Natasha stated flatly.

"Alright but don't think I'm happy."

"That went better than expected. Who wants a drink?" Tony broke the silence.

"I could use one." You accepted his offer anything to calm your nerves.

"We actually must leave now. There is much to prepare." Thor wasted no time in reminding you of what lay ahead.

"What about my apartment and my things?"

"SHIELD will take care of everything. Is there anything you must collect before we leave?"

"Nothing of consequence." You said bitterly. "There is nothing there I need to remember."
