OK my break is over. I had to take a break because of work. It was driving me crazy I felt like I practically lived at my work. Now Alisha is travailing to Asguard XD! There is a part in this chapter where there are italics, They are just translations to the faces and gestures that Alisha and Jane are doing. A 'just in case' thing. Hope you like ^^.
I do not own the Avengers team they belong to Marvel and Stan Lee (God bless him)
"Alisha, tis time to awaken! We will be departing shortly for Asguard! Only pack a few things, you will have your own Asguardian clothing there!" Thor yelled while banging on her door.
Alisha had had a very hard time trying to fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes she saw something large coming at her, and she was also under water in her dreams. All she could see where red/gold eyes staring at her from deeper in the water. She hadn't had much sleep because of this.
"Ok, ok hold on. What should I pack?"
"Something comfortable, but not too much clothing. You will be wearing our garb while you are there." Thor said. "I shall be back in 15 minutes to get you, and then we shall depart." And with that she heard his footsteps getting fainter while he walked away.
She went over to her drawers and packed some underwear, bras, one of her pajamas, 3 shirts, 3 pants, her conies and slippers, her workout outfit, and an Iron Man bandana. She also packed her stuffed wolf, books, and paper and pens in her winged backpack. Even though it unfolded into wings, she had made sure that it could still be used as a backpack. All this stuff fit right into it and she had another medal suitcase for her serum. She also packed her hair care products. She never really used make-up except on special occasions.
She decided to wear a simple brown tank top with a forest green blouse that she kept opened like a jacket. The sleeves went out to her elbows and she wore black gloves with the fingers cut off that had studs on the top of her hands. She had on black flowing silk pants that almost looked like a skirt until she started walking and they were cut off at her knees. For shoes, she decided to wear her knee high green conies with brown laces. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
15 minutes on the dot and Thor was knocking on her door. She went to it and smiled. "Is this enough?"
"You should only bring one bag." He said in a serious voice.
"Yah well this is for my stuff and this is for my serum. I need a cooling case for my serum so I have to take two bags. Sorry" She said in a shy voice. She was nervous about meeting Odin, the All Father. Hopefully he was as welcoming and opened as the legends say he was.
"That is understandable. We shall let that slide. Now let's go get Halder." Thor said, leading the way. They met up with Jane half way there. She looked completely exhausted and a little sore. Alisha smiled mischievously at her when Jane turned to her, did you do what I think you did? Jane smiled and winked, yes, and Alisha gave her the thumbs up with and questioning look, was it good? Jane rolled her eyes and groaned with a big smile on her face, it was amazing! Alisha did a face palm and said "I shouldn't have asked".
"What was that" Thor asked.
"Nothing!" Alisha and Jane both said and smiled.
Thor looked at both of them and shrugged. He went to Halder's room and opened the door to find him still asleep in his bed. Thor groaned. "I can never get him up no matter what I do."
"I think I could get him up. Let me see" She said getting her phone out and turning the volume all the way up. She held the phone right to his ear and pressed a button that makes a rather nasty farting sound.
"UH GOD THAT IS DISGUSTING!" Halder yelled and fell off the bed. "WHAT THE HELL! Oh Alisha, you ok?"
"Well seeing as you are up, I am now" She said with a smile and pressed the button again, smiling mischievously.
Halder groaned and glared at her. "Not funny Alisha."
"No your right, it was more than that. Right Thor?"
"Ay, it was perfect! Now I know how to get him up in the morning!" Thor boomed.
Halder glared over at Alisha. "Thanks a lot."
"Any time" She smiled and walked back to her suit case. "Now are you sure I can't bring my suit with me?"
"No I am sorry, but no Midguardian weapons can be brought to Asguard. Be happy I am letting you bring your studded gloves." Thor said as he headed to the upper hangers. "I shall be waiting on the upper area."
Jane went over to Halder and began talking to him. Alisha thought this would be a good time to let them have a few moments alone so she fallowed Thor up to the flight deck. She could see a blue cube that almost looked like it had lightning in it. "Is that the teseract?"
"Ay, tis the teseract. The bi-frost is not finished being built yet so we must use this to travel to Asguard. It will be like going on one of thoughts lifting contraptions you humans use. A giant metal box that goes up and down."
"An elevator?" Alisha putting dryly.
"Yes, that's what it's called. Why do you come up with such strange names for everything?"
"Don't ask me, I didn't invent it." She said shrugging.
"Hmm, then I must ask the person who did next time I come and visit"
"I think he is dead. Sorry Thor"
By the end of their little bantering session, Jane and Hal where coming out the door and heading over to them.
"Everything packed Halder?" Thor asked.
"Yes Father, everything is packed and I am ready to go"
Thor held out the handle that was connected to the teseract while he held onto the other one.
"Wait, what about the others?"
"They left earlier today because of their long trips. Are you ready to see the wonders of my realm?"
"Well I wouldn't say ready but I don't really have a choice" She said grabbing onto the handle with Halder.
"Now turn the handle and hang on tight" Hal said. They both turned it as the same time and where enveloped in blue light.
Thor was right; it was like an elevator, but more with your hand. Your hand was being pulled one direction while your body was nearly flapping behind it, even though your feet felt like they were on solid ground the entire time. She tightened her grip because she felt her hand slipping. She could also feel Halder holding onto her backpack. The light disappeared and they came face to face with a large man in gold armor holding a long sword. This man had gold eyes that where staring at her and Halder.
"Welcome to Asguard, Alisha Anthonydaughter. And welcome back Halder Thorson. Odin is expecting you in the throne room." The man said in a dead serious voice.
"Are you Heimdall?" Alisha asked as Thor and Halder turned around and walked past her.
"Indeed I am" He said in his deep voice.
Alisha smiled and bowed her head to him. "Thank you for watching over me and my friends." When she looked up she felt frozen under his gaze, like he was looking into her soul.
"You could feel me watching you?"
"Yes, about 2 to 3 times a week. Lance and Jane could feel you as well but I guess not as much as I could. They just felt someone watching them. I could feel like it was a protective watch. And for that I thank you."
Heimdall looked at her and his gaze relaxed a bit. "You have very keen senses, but they can be better. Now you must catch up with Thor and Halder. The All Father is waiting to meet you"
Alisha thanked him again and turned around only to be stunned. It was like a mixture of nature and modern living. A modern version of medieval times. Towering palaces, smaller houses still just as beautiful, surrounded with trees waterfalls and animals all around that she had never seen. "I don't think we are in Kansans anymore" She said looking down at the bridge she was standing on. She bent down and knocked a little. "Seems like it is a kind of quartz crystal. Cool" She said as she rushed to catch up with Halder and Thor.
She could feel that Thor and Halder where more relaxed while walking here then they were back on Earth. They weren't as tense and they talked more freely. "Happy to be home?"
"Yes, very much so" Thor said with a big laugh. Halder just smiled, you could tell he missed Earth, but he had grown up in both places so he was happy ether way.
"So is that fresh or salt water" She asked, pointing to the choppy water that was turning below the bridge and extending out to the sides.
"Depends on how deep you go. The shallow parts are fresh but once you get to the water where you can't really see it clearly from above it becomes more salty." Thor explained exuberantly.
Alisha had to take a little time to process the information, and then she shook her head. "I have to remember that this in not Earth and that the laws of physics here may be different then there" She said more to herself then the men.
It took them an hour to reach the great castle. The gates where not as big as she had thought they were, but they were still just as impressive because of the attention to detail. Every sculpture connected to the other. It was also guarded by 2 very large armored and armed thugs. She waved at them, but they ignored her. She followed Halder, sticking close to him. She could see, out of the corner of her eye, that people where looking at her, just looking. As if they just wanted to see who she was. She held herself up and matched Halder's steps as best she could.
They approached a set of large golden doors and entered. The first thing she saw was a large ceiling and the walls where decorated with Norse symbols and runes. She then saw the large fire in the middle of the room. Then she noticed that there where people around the edges of the great hall and that's when she got nervous. She followed behind Halder until he slowed to match her, placed a hand on her back, and got her moving a little faster. She looked over at him and smiled. He smiled back, a big smile on his face.
They approached the other side of the hall and where greeted by a old man with all knowing eyes and a women with golden hair to his left. Thor and Halder placed their right fists over their heart and knelt at the bottom of the steps. Alisha did the same, a little slower because she was watching the other two. They greeted the All Father in their own way and separately, after standing.
Thor had said something along the lines of being glad to be back and Halder said that he was looking forward to getting back to his training. As they spoke, Odin looked upon each of them. Once Halder was finished he looked at Alisha.
She froze a bit, not knowing what to say. For the first time in her life, words escaped her. After a few seconds she heard Odin speak. "Welcome to Asguard, Little Alisha." He said in a gentle voice.
Alisha smiled and inclined her head to him. "Thank you All Father, for allowing me this greatest of pleasures as to be welcomed to your homeland."
"What do you think of my homeland so far?" He asked, gesturing her to come up the steps.
She walked up the steps while explaining. "I think it is a wonderful place, so beautiful it's as if it almost came out of a dream. A place that happily combines nature with a modern living world." She smiled as she came to be in front of the King.
Odin stood up, his scepter in hand, and looked at Alisha. He then smiled. "I am glad you think that, I hope you will find your stay very comfortable here." He said with a small smile.
"I am sure I will, All Father"
"Please, you can call me Odin if you so wish" He said, smiling. "And because you are a guest here, we shall have a feast in your honor, to welcome you to Asguard" He said the last part to the hall and everyone cheered. "Now it is time for you to change into our clothing. Dalia will show you to your room and be your ladies made while you are here. If you want anything, just ask her" He said, summoning a woman that looked about her mother age with brown hair and gray kind eyes.
"This way Miss Alisha" She said, heading to a door to the right. "This is for the women guests. The left is for the men. Halder is on that side of the wing." She smiled as they avoided all the hustling and bustling of the people at work preparing for the feast. "The All Father asked for this room for you and the other girls that are coming over the next few months."
Alisha smiled. "Is it nice?"
"Yes, it is VERY nice. Once of the best rooms. It's right at the end so you can see where the bi-frost is and the water and even the mountains to the right." Dalia said enthusiastically.
Alisha was more fascinated by the hallways and the way people where dressed then anything. She almost lose Dalia in a big crowd of women who where just going into their rooms to get dressed. She found her heading to the end of the arching hallway to the door right at the end. "Here we are" She said while opening the door for Alisha.
Interesting, I didn't describe what Alishas room is going to look like. Because I would like to hear your descriptions in the reviews or pm's. What do you think Alisha's Asguard room should look like? Tell me in the reviews or give me a pm!
LOVE TO ALL!
