This is the final chapter of this story. That is a total of two whole stories finished on this site. Woo Hoo, go me! Thanks for reading. I'm already working on a sequel to this story, but not sure the direction yet. Thanks for reading! I really hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Several months later. After the events of Thor 2...
"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" I asked Alex as she packed to return to Asgard. We had been having this conversation for three days now.
She smiled at me sweetly, wrapping me into a hug. "I love that you are willing to come to Asgard with me for support, but I think I need to do this alone. Frigga was a mother to me and to be honest...I don't know what i'm feeling about Loki's death. I've got a great deal of stuff floating around my head right now. I think going home for a few days will be good for me and you are needed here."
I looked down at my girlfriend. "I know. It just feels wrong to force you to mourn alone. You shouldn't have to be alone right now."
"You're not going to win this argument." She chuckled. "But for the record, I love you so much for trying."
I pulled her back into the hug and kissed the top of her head. We had only been living together in Stark Tower for two weeks, but it was amazing how comfortable we had become with each other. Our casual displays of affection were already starting to sicken some of the tower's inhabitance. Fortunately, Tony was the only one who commented on it and Alex was quickly learning to ignore metal man's wisecracks.
"I'll be fine, Steve. Besides, Loki is dead. What could possibly happen?"
The End
(Or is it….)
