Chapter 19, I actually didn't think I would make it this far. I thought I would be struggling to make it even to chapter 20. Oh how innocent I was. I still have the rest of which I think mite take up 3 more chapters, then with Lance which is not going to be as long, then with Tyler and the time travel, then the 4th of July party, and some more stuff that I don't want to reveal because I haven't mentioned it in my story yet. So ya, lots more writing to do ^^.
Without any more of my blabbering, ONTO THE CHAPTER!

I do not own the Avengers team or the Asguardians they belong to marvel and Stan Lee (God bless him)

Alisha was already in the kitchen when the sun rose over the horizon. It was going to be a slightly overcast day today since the entire sky looked to be on fire this morning as the sun came up.

"Morning, you must be Alisha." came a soft voice behind her.

She turned around to see a skinny young man with jet black hair about her age.

"Hi, yah that's me. So you know me and who are you?" she asked.

"Oh, sorry for not introducing myself sooner, I was out of commission until this morning. My name is Dustin, I am Loki's birth son, but I call Thor my Father." He said with a big smile.

Alisha guffawed, son of Loki? The guy who nearly destroyed the Earth?!

"I know what you are thinking and I claim no relation to Loki. I am nothing like him." Dustin said with a smile.

Alisha faintly smiled back and shook his hand. "Well Dustin, it's very nice to meet you."

"Hay bro! Glad you are feeling better! And I see you have met Alisha" Halder said as he came into the kitchen.

"Yah, and she is everything you said she would be. Nice, calculating, very observant, but you didn't mention how beautiful she is" Dustin said, winking at her.

Alisha blushed a bit at how forward Dustin was being, but smiled at the complement.

"And I can see that you are very charming, I shall have to keep my eye on you and not let my guard down" She said with a big smile.

"Now now Dustin, she is also my chosen sister so she is off limits" Halder said, looking down at him.

"Ok, ok, I will back off" Dustin said, punching Hal in the shoulder. They sure acted like brothers. It kind-of reminded her of how Hal and Ty acted around each other. Giving each other crap over little things, teasing one another, laughing, being crazy. It was making her miss Tia and Tera.

"You know, I think I will go for a walk" She said, getting up and heading out the door.

"Ok just be at the arena before the sun is in the middle of the sky!" Halder hollered after her.

Alisha gave him the thumbs up and walked out of the kitchen. She didn't know where she was going until she looked down and saw she was walking on the rainbow bridge. She looked behind her and saw one of the guards closing the doors.

"Will I be able to get back in?" she asked. The guards both nodded once and then whereas still as stone.

She turned back to where the bridge was leading and started jogging. She hadn't been able to properly jog in a long time and she definitely needed to improve on her endurance. Most of her matches, with anyone, she lost because she got to tired to quickly. After about 30 minutes of jogging she could see the back of Heimdall's golden armor. She slowed her jog to a soft walk to catch her breath.

"Good morning Alisha, I am glad you are doing so well here." He said without turning.

"How did you know it was me?" she asked in a breathless voice, standing next to him and placing her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. Yah, I really need to get back into shape she thought.

Heimdall chuckled and then spoke. "Apparently neither Thor nor Halder has told you of my power. I can see and hear anything and everything I wish. I wanted to keep an eye on you while you are here."

"Really, because I haven't felt anything." She said as she sat down, letting her feet dangle over the edge.

"Well you wouldn't, it is much easier to watch over people while they are in the same realm as I am then to have to look through the cosmos to see them. That takes more effort and would naturally take more energy."

"Yes, that does make more sense." She said as she looked out into space. "When we first met, you said that I had strong senses and that they could be better, what did you mean?"

The stoic man next to her sighed and thought before he spoke. "On Asguard, magic in a sense is greatly accepted here. Everyone has a certain ability that is acquired whether it be by a hammer or the energy around them. But there are some who have it naturally within them like me, and you. I was telling you that you have strong senses, you can feel shifts in the things around you, you can feel a person's presence, and with time and listening to your senses you could even feel what a person is feeling and thinking. You have the opportunity to be an empath, not as strong as someone here, but still a rare ability in itself. That is what I was indicating."

Alisha listened to what the man was saying. She tried to recall ever being able to feel someone's emotions. She then thought back to her 13 birthday party. All thought kids hipped up on sugar. She didn't know why she had gotten such a headache until now. "Back on my 13th birthday, that's why I had such a headache."

"Yes, you where feeling the crazy emotions of everyone around you. I am surprised you where able to handle it the way you did. I would have been terrified" He said with a laugh.

"So would you be able to help teach me?" she asked, looking up at him hopefully.

"Yes, I will help you to recognize the feelings and strengthen the connection to your senses, but if you really want to get stronger you will have to practice feeling emotions at all times or start out in your other lessons. You would be surprised how affective and helpful it is. Now, if I am going to help you I want you to come down here as often as you can, and do not tell Halder or Dustin of this. It is nearly time for your next lesson with Volstagg."

Alisha got up, thanked Heimdall, and then jogged back to the palace. She made it to the arena right before Volstagg entered.

"Let's get started. Nice to see you're recovered from last week Dustin, while I am testing Alisha's strength you and Halder will spar with a long sword in each hand." Volstagg said. Halder cheered while Dustin groaned.

"Do not worry Dustin; I shall go easy on you"

"Don't get over confidant brother, it may be the reason I win his time" Dustin said as he took his swords and began sparing with Hal.

"Ok Alisha let's see what you can do. See that large bolder over there" He said pointing.

"You mean the one 3 times as big as me? Yup I see it."

"Move it."

"WHAT?!"

"Move it as far or as little as you can but just move it." Volstagg said.

Alisha walked over to the bolder and knocked on it. Somehow it sounded heavier then it looked. She looked around for something to help her and saw a bolder that was a little smaller then her. She went over to it and slowly rolled it next to the other bolder.

"What are you doing?! I said move the big bolder, not that one!"

"Don't, worry, it will be moved." She said, now looking at the weapons. "Can these break at all?"

"No, we have all tried."

"Good" She said as she picked up a very long and heavy long sword and carried it over. She placed the tip of it as far under the boulder as she could while keeping it still on the smaller rock. "Hal, Dustin, could you come here and help me?"

They both looked at each other then made their way over. She told them to grab onto the handle and dangle off of it.

As they did, a group of people where watching them in the stands. "What in the world is she doing" Fandral asked.

"No idea but it looks interesting" Hogun said in a thoughtful voice.

"How is it going to move if you don't push it?" Sif asked, not taking her eyes off the group of young warriors.

"We shall see. If there is anything I have learned from my time on earth, it is to never underestimate them" Thor said, leaning back to watch the show.

All three of them where dangling from the sword hilt. On Alisha's mark, all three of them pulled themselves up and bounced. That little force made the tip of the sword pull up on the bottom of the large bolder, causing it to roll a little back. Not very much but enough to show that it moved.

"See, what did I tell you" Thor said proudly to his shocked friends. "Never underestimate the abilities of the Midguardians."

"It moved" Alisha said with a smile. Halder and Dustin where shocked but had big grins on their faces.

"That was impressive."

"THAT was EPIC!" Halder boomed, clapping Alisha on the back.

"That was science, Leverage and Physics to be exact. By using the force of gravity to aid us, the force we exerted on the hilt of the sword would have ether broken it or lifted the end of it enough to move the bolder slightly. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." She said with a big smile.

"Well DONE young Alisha. That was quite impressive. I didn't even think you would be able to move it at all. Unfortunately that was not what I was looking for. I wanted to test your strength with this bolder, not your intellect."

"Yes, well I can guarantee that I won't be able to even budge that boulder anymore then it has been moved."

"At least you are honest. And you did move something, though it's not that much" Volstagg said as he went over to the small bolder and picked it p with one arm.

"It's all I can do so let's just start with that"

"All right then, we shall work on building up your strength by lifting weights" Volstagg said, leading over to a section of the arena that had metallic cubes with handles on them. "Start lifting these for the day and we will test you at a later time. I will have a set of weights brought to your room so you can work on building up your strength before you go to bed."

And with that, the rest of the lesson was spent with her lifting weights and watching the boys sparing. From her observation, fighting with heavier weapons was done with keeping the momentum of their fighting going. Like when they swung and missed, they would use the momentum of the swing to bring it up and back down or us it to help them doge an attack. The weapon wasn't just an extension of your arm like a regular sword was; it was an extension of your body, having its own weight and everything.

After their lesson, Alisha could barley even lift the fork to her mouth. "I can feel my heart beat threw my arms" she sighed as she gave up trying to lift her hand to her mouth.

The group laughed, giving her crap for being in this much pain.

"Are all woman of Midguard this week? You can barley lift up that sword let alone fight with it" Sif laughed.

"No not all, it's just that we do not use thoughts weapons. We use things that make a big explosion that hits many people all at once" Alisha said, now trying to take a drink from her mug and having the same problem as with the fork. "Ok I give up" Alisha said defeated.

"I could help" Dustin said in a joking voice, picking up a piece of bread and placing it in front of her mouth. "Open wide"

She smiled, opened her mouth, and bit him softly on his hand instead. "Woops" she said with a smiled. "Guess I missed."

Dustin rolled his eyes as the group laughed again.

"I am not a baby; I just won't eat for now." She stated, getting up. Their lesson today didn't last nearly as long as yesterdays so she decided to go to her room and start on a project. She was fascinated by the transportable power of the tesseract, inspiring her to make something similar. She thought about making something along the lines of the tesseract for a few seconds before reminding herself that that was Jane's project. She racked her brain for something else when it hit her. If you could travel through space, you could also travel through time with the same basic principles. Of course the same principles from time travel and space travel where the equivalent of comparing a Truck to a Hyundai, but they were both cars just tike both projects eventually ended up traveling through worm holes. She just needed the right power, elements, and a way to slide back threw the fabric of time.

She went into her room and instead of writing, finding that she could barley hold a pencil, was speaking into her laptop. Going through all the formulas she had learned from Jane Fosters and Eric Selivicks notes she deciphered a formula that would turn back time while keeping herself the same, as if it was time that was moving instead of her.

This took about 4 hours of her pacing around the room while talking to herself, making Dalia a bit concerned. Alisha had told her it was a way for her to think, she further explained that she was thinking aloud. When she was just about finished the door to her room opened and a soldier walked in.

"Heimdall would like to speak with you now" He said and departed.

So 30 minutes later, she found herself at the same spot that she had been in that morning.

"You are trying to invent a time travel device. Of all the…if you do invent this device you realize that you can only go back in time!"

"Yes I have already deduced that. Since the past has already happened and a guarantee that it will be there it can be revisited as long as I have a reference point. The future, however, is not. It is not set in stone so I can't tell where I would end up" she finished, staring down at her feet, watching the water fall off the edge of the world. "Ok that's kinda creepy."

"And you do realize that if you do go into the past, the present can be greatly altered to the point of nothing being the same when you return." Heimdall said as he began to pace.

"Yes, I know the risks. It would only be for a few seconds, just to see if it would work." She said with a smile.

Heimdall looked down at her then sighed. "I can't stop you can I"

"Nope, just like you can't stop Jane Foster"

"Yes well it is time for your world to explore others that aren't in your system, most likely starting with Asguard. Now get some sleep, more training tomorrow. Oh and before you go to sleep, concentrate on extending our mind to the things around you. Feel what is around you, and do not be afraid of mental attacks. I will be protecting you" He said, before once again facing out into space.

Alisha jogged back, went upstairs, did a few rounds with her weights, took a nice bath, sat down at the end of her bed where there was a large cushioned stool, and closed her eyes. She focused on extending her mind, almost like she would if she was thinking outside of the box. It almost felt like her mind was wondering into an abyss and she could see pictures in her mind of things she was feeling. She felt a strong tickle against her mind and instantly reverted back. She attentively extended out again and heard Heimdall's voice in her mind. Do not be afraid, it is only me. I can speak to you this way because I have learned how. Now do as you were doing before and tell me what you are feeling.

She took a deep breath and did as she was told. She could feel his mind; it felt guarded, but soft and familiar as it did on earth. She felt around and felt anticipation from someone outside. I feel Dalia, she is worried about me.

Yes, you where talking to your laptop most animatedly and she is concerned you have gone a little strange.

I also feel an excited anticipation, almost like something wonderful is coming.

Very good, something very wondrous is coming. A festival of sorts. A changing of the seasons. That will be at the start of next month. Unfortunately you will not be here.

Awwwwwwww, to bad. It must be a big shindig.

It is. I must tell you now that even though you can feel what you are feeling here, it will be much harder to feel this back on Earth because of the lack of acceptance. People do not believe in this practice so it is harder to work like this because people on Earth are so close minded and don't show their true emotions at all.

I understand. Ok I think that is enough for today. I can hear my serum alarm going off and I had better take it. So do this every night before I go to bed?

Yes, every night. Even on Earth.

Alisha sighed as she retreated back into her own mind. She opened her eyes, turned off her alarm, and got her serum into her system. She stretched her arms a bit, wincing at how stiff they where, crawled under the covers and went to sleep. She dreamt she was flying through the palace with Halder and Dustin. This was a lesson they were receiving from the All Father in her dream. She smiled at the feeling of weightlessness as she softly landed on a willow tree right in the middle of fall when the leaves where changing colors. There was a creek going under the roots, so she sat down and dipped her feet into the cool water relaxing her tired arms as the calm feeling washed over her from her feet up.

Ok, I felt bad for Loki and one of my readers suggested I added a child of Loki's, so I did. He is not that big of a character, but he does fit in well. And just so you know.

Haldor means Thor's Rock in Norse and Dustin means Thor's Stone in Norse

I did not plan this I swear. I was looking threw Norse Baby names for Loki's son when I came across Dustin, thought it was Ironic because Thor did adopt him as his own son. Then I wondered what Halder meant so I looked it up. Boy was I surprised and LOLing my ass off. I love it when things work out like this.

But yay Loki has a son, and he is a very good boy. Unlike Odin, Thor told him everything about his heritage and his father so he understands. Thor treats him as he treats Hal though Dustin knows he will not be king, he doesn't care. He just wants to have fun and improve to the best of his abilities. Yay for a happy end to that part!
