Kali was having a nightmare once again, one that she couldn't escape from. She never could. No matter how hard she tried she was never able to pull out of them, they were too real.

She was on Svartalfheim, captured. She was in the power vessel, her energy no longer hers to control. They stood around her, watching, laughing. They were going to destroy all of the Nine Worlds, one by one, until nothing was left, maybe not even them.

"It's a great thing she never figured it out." one laughed out.

"Ah," another touched the glass. "she's far too foolish to see the simpliest of solutions. Her energy is only hers, were it to split anywhere, she could be useless. But it is far too late." her smile was evil, and everything went dark. Her body was in pure agony, and she wanted to die; but she could not. No matter how much she screamed and cried no one could help her, not even herself. She was theirs to do as they wish.

"Kali!" a clap of thunder sent her awake, screaming and sweating, arming waving every way possible. Thor was sitting on her bed, trying to hold her arms, to keep her from hitting him or herself by accident. "Kali!" he bellowed again. Her eyes shot open, calming her down to see she was right where she fell asleep. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking at her eyes, a deep sad shade of purple. She blinked a few times, calming her thoughts and body, her eyes fizzling back out to their emerald shade of green. She retracted her arms out of his grip, wiping them down her face.

Through heavy breathing she responded, "I'm fine. I just had a bad dream." He looked at her worried, and she could tell he didn't believe her. "I promise. What time is it?" She looked around the room for a clock. Finally her eyes fell upon bright red numbers. It was 9 in the morning almost, she might as well get up and shower anyways. "Please, I just want to get up and shower." Thor stood up, moving so she could get up. He exited, heading to his own bedroom.

Kali eneterd the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. She turned the water on, as hot as she could take it, letting it run and fill the tub up. She stripped, her clothes falling to the floor beneath her. She unsnapped her bra, letting it fall, and finally her panties, falling to her ankles. She stepped into the tub, slowly sinking down into the water until it was up to her neck.

It was so calm and relaxing. She looked around at the knobs, finding the one that activated the jets. She turned it on, all 10 jets fully blowing water. She sat against one, her back pressed hard to it. It was probably the best massage she had gotten in a long long time.

Then, an idea went through her head. It had been so long, longer than she could remember. It had been far over 100 years since she had been with a man, and probably at least 3 months since she had even pleasured herself, but this seemed like a good opportunity.

She spun around, grabbing the sides of the tub, adjusting the jet to her most private area. She bit her lip as she felt the water brush agaisnt her womanhood. Slowly, she laid back, spreading her legs, flinching as the water hit her more and more. Finally, she was all the way back, her legs spread and hanging over the sides of the tub, the jets working their magic. She floated in the water, letting pure pleasure take over her body.

Thor, now dressed for the day, decided to find something to eat for breakfast. Before ordering something, he figured he could ask Kali if she was also hungry. He walked down the hallway, placing a knock of the bathroom door. When she didn't answer, he cracked it, his eyes widening. He saw her there, in all of her glory.

Her small body flexing, one hand grabbing and rubbing her breast. She bit her bottom lip, moving back and forth, bringing her womanhood closer and further away from the jet, small moans escaping her mouth.

Thor stepped out, quietly shutting the door behind him. He felt a lump in a throat and an even bigger one forming below his belt. He had so much pent up sexual frustration and no one to take it out on. It was his plan to relieve it all once he had returned to Asgard, but Kali got in the way of those plans. He was just going to have bite the bullet on this one and wait once again.

He just decided it would be best if he was on his way, to meet up with Stark and Steve before the nights festivities and before he had to face her. Quietly, he exited the penthouse, leaving the key on the kitchen counter and locking the door behind him.

After finally reaching her climax and her body fully released and pleasured, she hurried through her bath, washing and conditioning her hair, shaving as quick as she could and rinsing her body. By the time she got out it was nearly noon. She hurried to get dressed in something simple; a tank top and shorts.

At exactly 12 o'clock a knock came on the door. Kali grabbed the keys and answered, a woman standing there.

"Kali, I presume?" she said, smiling. Kali nodded.

"You must be Josie." the red headed woman nodded, smiling back. Kali followed her out of Stark tower, and into a large SUV. The two headed to the design shop, where she would find something lovely for the young woman to wear.

After a quick 15-minute-drive, they were there. They enetered the large store, full of gowns and suits and all the finishings. They headed into the back, a private area.

"Now," Josie began. "I have a few things picked out based on what Mr. Stark told me. You can try them on in that dressing room." she pointed to a large ivory door. "All 4 of them are in there. I believe they are all beautiful equally, but please, pick the one you like best." Kali nodded and headed into the room, trying on dresses.

The first was too large, too much tool. And not to mention, red was not her color. The second was far too skin tight and came up like a turtle neck, making it hard to breath. The third one she didn't even bother, because white did not look good on her in the least bit. However, the 4th and final dress? It was absolutely perfect. She slipped it on, it hugging every curve in just the right places, even having a cut off shoulder to allow her tattoo to be shown. The right side had a slit that traveled all the way up her thigh. It was of dark shades of purple, with grey in-line finish. Kali walked out, smiling at Josie.

"This is the one." Josie smiled back, handing her a pair grey heals.

"Stark told me this would be the one you chose, so I had the shoes ready. If you'd like to change out of it, I'll get it bagged up and then Lila will be here shortly to pick you up for hair and make-up." Kali nodded and went back in, changing back to her tank-top and shorts.

A short 20 minutes later Josie came back with the dress in a bag, and shoes in hand. She handed it to a blonde woman who came walking up.

"Are you ready, miss?" The woman asked. Assuming this was Lila, Kali nodded and followed her outside to another SUV. This drive was a little longer.

"I apologize for the long drive, miss." The woman told her. "It just much easier to go to my personal studio since it's so close to the villa where the event is." She explained.

"It's okay. It's not like I have anywhere to go until 5 anyways." she chuckled. Lila smiled at her and continued driving.

It nearly 3 when they arrived, rushing inside. Lila got her in the chair and began working her magic.

It was going on 4:30 and Lila had just finished, spinning the chair around to face the mirror. It had been so very long since Kali had been done up so well. Her foundation was flawless, her blush a light brown/purple color. Her lips were dark, lined with a soft tan. Her eyes, dark also, smokey and full of life with winged eye liner coming off of them. She was glad Lila decided to have her hair down, she liked it no other way. It was different, pin straight and about two extra inches long from all the curls being unkinked. She had a small jewel piece pinned, holding her bangs perfectly swept to the side. Even she couldn't believe how stunning she looked.

"Thank you so much." was all she could get out. And she sincerely meant it. She hadn't fealt so beautiful in such a long time.

Lila smiled. "Thank you miss, but your limo is here so you need to go put your gown on and get going." Kali nodded, standing up and heading for the bathroom Lila directed her to. Once the dress and shoes were on she couldn't help but let a small tear fall down her face, quickly wiping it away before it could ruin any of her make-up. She quickly exited, heading for the main entrance where a large black limo was waiting for her. A man in a suit opened the door for her and she slid in.

The ride to the villa was a mere 10 minutes, if that. The limo stopped and the man opened the door up, letting her step out. There were a few people outside, yelling and cheering as guests entered. She found her way inside, trying to find a fimiliar face through the crowds of people.

"Kali!" a female voice yelled. "Over here!"
