Ward was stood at the window, staring out over Asgard, wrapped in a sheet. He had never felt this happy, or content. He just hoped it would last. He glanced at Skye in the bed. She got up and joined him at the window.
"I can't believe we just did that" She said to him as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her chin on his shoulder.
"I can't believe we just did that either. Do you feel different?"
"Well I didn't grow a tail so I'm good!"
"Skye."
"Hey look! A shooting star. Make a wish." She said pointing at the shooting star in the clear night.
"What did you wish for?" She asked him.
"I didn't make one."
"Why?"
"Because everything I've ever dreamed of having is right in front of me." He said turning around and kissing her.
They were woken in the morning by Sif, telling them to get up and dressed. Once they were wearing the clothes they had been given the previous evening, Thor led them down the rainbow bridge to the bifrost.
"Coulson. We have a problem" Fitz threw at Coulson as he entered the Lab.
"You mean bigger than the one where we lost two Agents?"
"Can't we track them using those heart thingy's that you said all agents above level seven have?" Amber asked, remembering the conversation she had with Skye when she arrived.
"What tracker thingy's?" Romanov asked her.
"You know, the ones Fury implants into cardiac tissue to track his higher level agents. It's what caused Coulson's scar"
Romanov looked at Coulson confused.
"It's a much bigger problem!" Simmons interrupted.
"What is it then?"
"We have detected an Asgardian electrical surge about 40 miles from here."
"That's not a problem. They're allies" Romanov countered.
"The last Asgardian electrical surge brought us a sorceress that could bend the will of men with her voice, or in stubborn cases like Ward, her touch. She turned both Ward and Fitz, nearly killed May and almost destroyed the 'bus."
"That's not good." Romanov conceded.
"Let's load the vans" Coulson told them.
An hour later the team arrived at the location Fitz had spotted. They got out of the van and looked around. They couldn't see anything. Romanov looked down the road they had just come down. That's when she saw the hammer; large and ancient looking with ornate inscribing. She hit Coulson on the shoulder and walked slowly towards it.
"Muir Muir" She said.
"What's Muir Muir?" Amber asked.
"Thor's hammer." Coulson told her.
There came a sudden crack of lightening behind them and Muir Muir started moving. It rose into the air and they saw Muir Muir speed past them. They all turned to the most magnificent sight. Ward, Sif, Thor and Skye all stood before them. Oddly enough, all four were emanating extreme power.
They climbed down off the rocks they were stood on. Thor approached Coulson and embraced him like an old friend.
"Phil Coulson. You are looking well." He said
"I'm feeling well, considering the last time you saw me your brother killed me."
"I am truly sorry for that"
"Don't be. I'm alive to tell the tale! You remember Natasha?"
"Of course." Thor replied, giving Romanov a hug and a kiss on the cheek. After all they did fight an army together in New York.
Meanwhile Sif had approached the rest of the team, the ones she was familiar with any way.
"Agent May, I brought you a gift." She said as she produced a beautiful double ended sword and handed it to the baffled agent.
"It's beautiful, but I can't keep it" She said to Sif.
"Please. I insist. You were most helpful when I was here before."
Thor introduced Romanov to Sif and Sif introduced him to May, Fitz and Simmons.
"Well, we have come here deliver your wandering friends, but I am afraid it is time for us to leave." Thor said nodding at Coulson. Before he shouted for the bifrost to collect him and Sif, he took Skye's hand and kissed it.
"Enjoy" was all he said to her before the bifrost took them back to Asgard.
Coulson rounded on Ward and Skye.
"How the hell did you two turn up in Asgard?" He asked them.
They told the team how they went through the door and ended up in a deserted wasteland, got cornered by an ORSINO, which they also learned was called a bilgesnipe, rescued by Sif and taken to Asgard where she and Thor insisted on them cleaning up, changing, having a meal and sleeping before they returned to Earth. They also told Coulson how Sif had accidentally told Thor about his survival.
The others sat fascinated as Ward and Skye described Asgard and its palace where they stayed.
Everyone noticed that there was a definite change in Ward and Skye's behaviour. What it was they didn't know.
