Chapter 7
Diana finished the chant and opened her eyes. She was once again standing in Asgard. The beauty of paradise had grown back after the war. She wonders how long it has been. Before she can move Thor is striding towards her. He is carrying a large smile upon his face.
"Diana! To what do we owe this visit?" Thor asked as he pulled her into a hug.
"I am seeking asylum?"
"Asylum from what?"
"I am in danger, I have something I need to keep safe."
Thor was curious, "You are a champion of Valhalla, you are welcome any time, where is your man?"
Diana looked down. "I am alone…well he is not with us."
"Us? What do you need to keep safe, shall we put it in the armory?"
"It's me, I need to be kept safe."
"I don't understand, Diana, what is going on?"
"I am pregnant Lord Thor, and my child will need to be kept safe because he or she has me for a mother…"
"and Kal for a father?" Thor knowingly smiled. "Fear not, Diana, I would protect you and your child unto death. I am just curious, did something happen to Kal?"
"No, he is…with his wife, he is not aware of my predicament. He is not happy with me and wishes" Diana stumbled over the words…"and wishes never to see me again." She didn't know if it was from the pregnancy or from the understanding that she would never be with Kal again, but the tears began again.
Thor gently brushed the tears from Diana's face and guided her back to the hall. "We will keep you and your child safe Diana. Do not worry."
