Yeah I didn't completely write off my posting rules... just for those few days I did.

Chapter 4

"You would defy the commands of Loki, our king, break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring Thor back?" Heimdall berated them. I stood behind them with a big smile.

"Yes" Sif said, her fear flowing into my legs

"Good" Heimdall said almost expectantly. His relief mixed in with the warriors' confusion.

"So you'll help us?" Sif asked.

"I am bound by honour to our king. I cannot open the bridge to you" Heimdall chided, walking past all of us.

"Complicated fellow, isn't he?" Fandral commented as his confusion grew even more.

"Now what do we do?" Volstagg asked

"We find Thor" I suggested as I sauntered to the mouth of the Bifrost. Fandral gave me a confused glance before he said,

"And here I thought you weren't going to help us"

"I'm not… I am simply trying to stop four traitors from helping Thor" I said sarcastically

Their faces soured into an expression of disbelief, but before they could say anything I raised my hand. A spark erupted from Heimdall's sword and the Bifrost activated. The dimensional energy had flown through me once again and we were sucked into the stream of light. We landed in a very familiar desert. I sighed and pulled out my communication crystal. I checked where we were and I was surprised to see that it was the same place where Erik had called me… well it was close to where he had called me.

"Let's go" I ordered, leading them to the little town up the hill.

To be honest, I felt embarrassed as I walked through the streets. The townsfolk's confusion vibrated through my body, however the only emotion I got from Lady Sif and the Warriors Three was determination. I took a deep breath as we walked up the street. I followed a map that displayed on my crystal, it indicated where Erik had called me.

"You are right that Midgard has changed, Kari" Fandral commented.

We trotted excitedly up to the glass door when we saw Thor. Volstagg knocked on the door and announced,

"Found you!"

Thor looked up in disbelief. We smiled happily and waved at him. I ignored Erik and Darcy dropping their glasses.

"My friends!" Thor bellowed as we entered.

Volstagg was the first to hug him and I squeezed in and lifted Thor off his feet.

"This is good! This is good." Volstagg said.

I felt Erik, Darcy and Jane's confusion and disbelief resonate inside my bones. Volstagg saw this and introduced us,

"Excuse me. Lady Sif and the Warriors Three."

"Kari?" Darcy asked, making me shrink back.

"Uh… in my defence I did say I would bring friends to help him." I explained nervously.

"My friends, I've never been happier to see anyone. But you should not have come" Thor said as his sadness stung my eyes. I could sense Volstagg's confusion along with everybody else's.

"We're here to take you home" Fandral protested.

"You know I can't go home. My father is dead because of me." Thor confessed, giving a sense of guilt tunnelling down my spine. "And I must remain in exile."

"Thor, your father still lives" Sif corrected as she shook her head in confusion.

Thor's guilt evaporated into anger. And I think I know who it was directed at. Jane chimed in before anything else could happen.

"Okay. Hold on, why didn't you tell me you come from Asgard, Kari?"

"If I did you'd all see me as delusional or craz—" I explained before I got interrupted by a big boom.

We went to investigate and saw a tornado looking cloud hovering above the sight of where we first teleported.

"Was somebody else coming?" Darcy asked nervously.

"Oh no… not the Destroyer" I uttered in fear.

We walked down a little further down the street. Thor's worry bounced into my heart as he ordered the others,

"Jane, you have to leave."

"What are you gonna do?" Jane asked as she looked up at him.

"I'm staying here" Thor replied, looking down.

"Thor's going to fight with us" Volstagg added excitedly.

"My friends, I'm just a man. I'll only be in the way, or worse, get one of you killed. But I can help get these people to safety." Thor explained, looking around him.

"Well, if you're staying, then so am I" Jane said as her confidence bounded into my hands.

"We'll need some time" Thor said as he walked past us.

"You'll have it!" Fandral assured.

We walked down the street to meet the Destroyer head on. I felt a plan pop into Sif's head with a burst of confidence.

"Keep it distracted"

I summoned my spear and waited for the Warriors Three to begin an attack. Fandral and Hogun launched Volstagg into the deadly machine and Volstagg roared,

"For Asgard!"

But the Destroyer smacked him away and into a car. Volstagg waited for the Destroyer to loom over him and I saw Lady Sif jumping onto the meatal beast with her spear piercing through its neck. It temporarily shut down. I could feel Sif's triumph bounce down the street as she stayed kneeled on it. But it dissipated when the Destroyer turned itself around and face Sif. It almost blasted into her if she hadn't rolled off it.

I decided to jump in and morph my spear into a hammer. I jumped and swung it into the Destroyer's head. Unfortunately, it only staggered and fired into my direction. I jumped away, but the blast sent flying debris into my side. I fell with a grunt, but I was shocked to see the Destroyer shoot through the street and towards Sif. She got launched off her feet and landed onto the street.

I threw the debris off me and tried to throw it at the Destroyer. I missed and hit its leg, but I didn't hinder it from destroying the deli where the Warriors Three were blasted into. I saw Volstagg fly out the building while being on fire. I got up and summoned my hammer once again. I hopped over the debris and screamed a battle cry. When the Destroyer looked at me I jumped up and brought my hammer down on its chest. I landed on it, but it didn't even hesitate to throw me off. I landed on a car with a grunt. I felt someone pull me up and off the car,

"Kari, you have done enough! You have to go and stop Loki." Thor ordered.

I nodded quickly before we stood up and ran. He left me to speak to the Warriors Three while Lady Sif and I made sure that Jane, Erik and Darcy were safe.

"Wait!" Jane said and turned to see what Thor was about to do. We stood and watched. Thor was walking towards the Destroyer in a calm fashion. It kicked a car away and looked down at Thor. We didn't know what he said, but the Destroyer readied to shoot him. It extinguished the flame and turned. But instead of walking away, it backhanded Thor off his feet.

"No!" Jane cried. Sif stopped Erik and I tried to stop Jane. She ran to aid Thor and knelt beside him. Jane's sadness and Thor's satisfaction mixed inside my body and made my eyes tear. Lady Sif and the Warriors Three's sadness jumped into the mixture and mine was added too. I ran to Jane and knelt by Thor too. A tear rolled down my cheek as I looked at Thor's scratched face. I felt a slight buzzing inside my body, but gasped as I realized what it was. I looked up at something flying towards us. I grabbed Jane by the arms and tried to drag her away.

"No. No. No!" Jane pleaded as I pulled her away from Thor.

Mjolnir shot into Thor's hand, who caught it and a cloud of thunder and lightning appeared in the sky. The lightning travelled down to Mjolnir and Thor's armour reappeared. I could feel everyone's happiness brew inside of my bones and caused me to smile. The Destroyer readied itself for another blast, but it was cut short when Mjolnir was thrown out of the pillar of lightning and into the machine's cheek. This caused it to fire and miss. The Destroyer looked at the hammer as it shot back into its face and throw it off its feet. Thor caught it and waited for the machine to look up at him.

He ascended into a brewing tornado while barely escaping another blast. We all ran back towards the building but stopped to watch. I looked on in disbelief as various shapes of debris hit the Destroyer. A car hit it but it merely swatted it away. Before it could do something, it was lifted off his feet and into the tornado. I couldn't see much from where I was standing, but I only saw flashes of energy come out the highest point of the storm. A burst of energy blew from inside the tornado and something came crashing into the street… no doubt that it was the Destroyer.

From the cloud of dust came Thor marching out from it. He approached Jane as she asked,

"So, is this how you normally look?"

"More or less" Thor answered, his pride crawling into my feet.

"It's a good look" Jane complimented as she nodded her head in admiration.

"We must go to the Bifrost site. I would have words with my brother" Thor suggested before he got interrupted by another familiar voice. I shrunk behind Lady Sif to try and hide from Agent Coulson. No one should know who I really am.

"Excuse me!"

I didn't even hear what they were saying because Lady Sif looked at me in confusion. I looked up at her and tried to explain,

"Mortals are not allowed to know who I really am. As far as those people know, I am on a private business trip."

"Oh" Lady Sif realised, nodding her head.

I peeked from her shoulder and saw that Thor had pulled Jane close to him. He flew up and towards the site. I rolled my eyes in annoyance before I uttered,

"Show off"

We made our way towards the SUV and we all climbed in. Darcy drove us towards the site. We all sat in complete silence on the way there. When we arrived, we jumped out and walked down the series of destroyed cars.

"Heimdall, open the Bifrost." He waited for a few moments to pass before he asked again, "Heimdall?"

"He doesn't answer" Thor said as we walked towards him.

"Then we are stranded" Hogun concluded.

"Heimdall! If you can hear me, we need you now!" Thor called up to the sky. He continued to call out to him and after a few moments, we heard a familiar booming sound. We looked up and saw the pillar of rainbow light. I looked back at Erik and gave him a hug.

"I'll try to be back soon… but I can't promise anything" I explained when I released him. He looked at me with distress but nodded. I left them and rushed to the site. I waved at Darcy and waited for Thor to finish. Jane's love for Thor flooded my body and caused me to smile. I crossed my arms and called out to him,

"Come on, lover boy! We need to go!"

He stood by my side and gave me a frown. I smiled at him and allowed the energy to flow through me once again.
