There were many words Jane could have used to describe that flight. She could have filled several pages detailing how it felt to break free from gravity's grasp and hurdle through the sky, miles eatten up within seconds. But in the end, there was only one that found its way past her lips.
"Wow,"
"You keep saying that," Thor said, still staring up at the sky. "Is this 'wow' some being you call upon, to aid you in battle?"
"No."
Thor merely shrugged, before turning back to the sky. "Heimdall! Open the Bifrost!" Thor had been calling out for the last 10 minutes for the gatekeeper to open the bridge, but his cries had gone unanswered. The Warriors 3, Sif, Darcy and Selvig had arrived , watching the two with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "Heimdall!"
Jane turned to Sif. "How did this happen?"
Sif smiled slightly. "What do you wonder about? The Bifrost? The Destroyer?"
Jane tugged at the armor that had replaced her clothing. "I mean this! You said it yourself...I am not who I once was. I flew! I feel stronger than I've ever felt before! I can feel the winds calling to me and the lightning begging to be unleashed. He," she gestured as Volstagg, "even thought I was one of you guys!"
"For all intents and purposes, you are," Hogun stated.
"Huh?" Jane asked.
"Heimdall!" Thor bellowed.
Hogun took pity on Jane, placing a hand on her shoulder. "When Odin, Allfather and King, took Thor's power, he placed it all within Mjolnir. He enchanted it, so that one who was worthy could claim the power as their own. When Thor sacrificed himself for us, he proved his worth and Mjolnir found him."
"But what about Jane?" Darcy asked. "She's not exactly a norse goddess...trust me, I don't think goddesses are as messy as she is."
"Shut up..." Jane grumbled.
"Of course, I don't think brilliant scientists are suppose to be that messy either...you should see her bedroom...dirty bowls, panties-"
"Darcy!"
"Heimdall!"
Sif took up the explaination. "Any being who proved their worth could claim the powers of Thor. When you refused to leave Thor's side, knowing it could mean your death, you proved yourself just as worth and so too gained Thor's power. With it, you were made into one like us."
Everyone was silent, considering these words.
"What are 'panties'?" Volstagg asked.
"Heimdall!" Jane began to scream, joining Thor in his bellows.
"Dude, he isn't there!" Darcy stated. "Maybe you should try leaving a voicemail..."
The skies opened up and the Bifrost shone down upon them. Darcy and Selvig took a step back, shielding their eyes, while Sif and the Warriors Three approached Thor and Jane, encircling them. The scientist turned to the god of thunder, thrill and concern warring within her.
"Do not worry Jane...relax and let go."
Jane didn't have a chance to question him on his comment, as she suddenly felt herself ripped up into the sky.
20 seconds later...
Darcy blinked, startled as the SHIELD agents suddenly surrounded them. "Aw crap."
~MC~MC~MC~
The warriors emerged from the Bifrost, Heimdall panting as he shut down the bridge. Thor looked upon Asgard, grim in his duty to deal with his brother, but overjoyed to be home once again.
"Wow," Jane muttered.
"She keeps saying that..." Sif stated.
Volstagg shrugged. "Maybe its her god."
"Take Heimdall to the healing chambers...I will deal with Loki." Thor gripped his hammer, rushing towards Asgard.
"Wait a moment!" Jane shouted, stopping the Warriors and Sif in their tracks. She knelt before the weakened Heimdall, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "Who did this to you?"
"Loki..." Heimdall gasped. "He...betrayed us...the frost giants..." His strength spent, Heimdall fell unconscious.
"The Frost Giants...here?" Fandral asked. "They dare enter Asgard?"
"By Loki's hand they have," Sif said gravely. She looked with dread upon the Bifrost. "Loki has learned how to open the bridge...should he know Thor is coming for him, he could return here and deliver an army to destroy us all."
Volstagg pounded his chest. "Then we shall stand and fight!"
"No!" Jane said, rising to her feet. "Get this man to that...healing place." She gestured towards Sif. "We'll stand and stand against this Loki."
The Warriors Three nodded, wanting to argue about two women standing guard but knowing doing so would cause Sif to plant a foot deep within their neither regions. Lifting Heimdall up, they quickly made their way towards the Rainbow Bridge, leaving Sif and Jane alone.
"You are adopting well," Sif said simply.
"Well...you hit the God of Thunder with you car and you learn to roll with the punches."
