Freak Force One

by Anastasia T Wolfe

Cassie Pierce is the leader of an elite team of mutants. She picked her team from the Mutant Corps, formed by King Loki not long after his hostile takeover of Midgard in order to keep the mutants under his thumb. She and her team have been fighting Asgard on the front for four years now, and when her team is assigned as the King's personal bodyguards, she sees a way out.

I pushed my way up to the co-pilot seat, "Kurt, make sure the king is all tucked in, and we'll get going."

Kurt helped Loki find a seat as I put on my flight headphones and readied the co-pilot's instruments and controls in case Frank had to hand it off to me at some point.

"We made it," Loki breathed, "I cannot believe we actually made it."

I sighed, "it's not over until the fat lady sings," I said simply as we took off from Asgard, "we'll be pursued, and probably bombed knowing the Asgardians," I looked back at my king, who was looking a little worried again, "not to worry, Sire. Frank's one of the best pilots to ever come out of Australia."

"When he adjusts his bifocals," Lars sniffed.

"Is that a crack about my age?" Frank snapped back.

"Easy kids," I rolled my eyes, "only six more hours to go." It was ironic me calling them kids, when I was actually the youngest, but if they were going to act like children, I would treat them as such.
