The light was extreme. vanishing when we landed in the golden dome. Thor's arm was still securely wrapped around me. I wonder if they would be if he knew what I am.
"Why did you bring us back" he demands to fath-Odin who's back is turned to all of us. He retracted Heimdal's golden sword from the podium and tossed it to him before addressing Thor.
"You realise what you've done, what you've started"
"I was protecting my home" his arms tighten further around me. He truly believed what he had done had been the right thing. I wish we had not gone. The quest had only caused strife and pain.
"You cant even protect your friends, never mind your hope to protect the kingdom, get him to the healing room" Odin quickly dismissed Sif and the warriors three. I could see his anger growing. I said nothing and watched the scene playout. Desperate not to be noticed and called out for what I know knew about Loki and my parentage.
"There will be no kingdom to protect if you are afraid to act!"
At the raise of voices Heimdal also seemed to believe he was needed in the healing room. I hope he was also going to retrieve Moth- Frigga.
"The Jotuns must learn to fear me" at his words I moved my gaze from the floor to Loki, the fear in his eyes mirrored. He already has his wish, I thought morbidly. Suddenly it felt uncomfortable to be in Thor's embrace. I he was disgusted with the giants so much what would he think of me. Of us. What we have discovered on our little tripp has shifted the understanding of my life. Given it a completely new perspective. I don't draw any attention to myself, I want to be invisible. Blank and expressionless. Subtly I removed his warm hands from my upper arm. It was shaking with pent up frustration. I step back from them all.
"As they once feared you" Thor finished. Thankfully too caught up in his and Fa-Odin's argument, to notice me escaping his clutches.
"That is pride and vanity talking not leadership".
I want to be near Loki. Where I know I would falsely feel safe, but it would still be a comfort.
Are you okay. I thought to Loki. He looked up, shocked out of deep thought. He nodded lightly. Reminding me of a lost child.
Y Yes, you?
I only tilted my head to answer. His answer was short and stuttering, only proving he was lying. I didn't even need to look at my twins upper lip to know to was twitching profusely. We both concluded searching for answers of our heritage would have to wait. We both turn to Thor and Allfather, still verbally battling. Seeming as if it was building not diffusing the new tension between them.
"While you wait and be patient the nine realms laugh at us... the old ways are done you'd stand giving speeches while Asguard falls!" came Thor.
"YOU ARE A VAIN, GREEDY AND CRUEL BOY!"
I cant look away from this disaster. Loki shields his eyes by looking away, down to the floor, but he can do nothing to block their venomous words out.
"AND YOU ARE AN OLD MAN AND A FOOL!"
In contrast the tense silence that follows is much more defining than any cry. Now I revert my eyes to the floor. Joining my twin. Like dogs in fear of punishment from their master. We wait in silence.
"yes I was a fool to think you were ready" he murmured regretfully.
Something broke in that moment between them. Between us all. It snapped and whipped us all. Like a child in the middle of two feuding parents Loki desperately tried to fix it. But Odin does not want to listen to him. To anyone. He is passed to point of reasoning.
"Fath.."
The growl was primal and a warning. A wolf about to lunge, Odin did not need to hear anything. He was resolved in his decision, no matter the ramification. I took another step away from them all, and the toxic air surrounding them. My breaths faltered and shuddered, black spots danced across my vision as I felt a large fist squeeze my heart. My inability to breath did not draw any help. I am left gasping at the side swaying on my feet.
"Thor Odinson you have betrayed the express command of your king, through your arrogance and stupidity you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war"
No. He wouldn't, he couldn't, not to Thor? The golden child. My vision cleared slightly as the fist allowed more precious air into my body. Lightening crept and skirted to the celling as Odin push his spear into the keyhole of the Bifrost. No.
"You are not worthy of this realm, of your title!" Thor's eyes pleaded to Odin, who registered the shock and fear within them, as he ripped the red cap from his shoulders. But Odin was murderous. His eyes flashed violently.
"YOU ARE UNWORTHY!", pushing Thor hard in the chest so he faltered slightly on his feet.
"Of the loved ones you have betrayed" it was no more than a whisper, but we all heard the pain. Thor's grey orbs moved to Loki, who held tears of confusion and fear in his green ones. Before they rested on me. He reached out, to draw me closer.
"Hel ..." His pleading eyes fell as his voice did, internally deciding against ordering me. He must believe I was following him against my will. That he had given me no choice. I want to go to him and tell him I would follow him anywhere, that I gave my will to him because I love him. But I couldn't move and he had not finished the command. I stand as frozen as the waste land of Jotunheim. Unsure of myself. I cant let him go though. Lifting my hand I reach for him. Odin beats me to him.
"I now take from you your power" Mijlor flies from Thor's grasp. No. A metallic ring echoes when Odin catches it. No. Odin please no.
"In the name of my father and his father before him" Thor's glorious armour starts to disintegrate, falling like rain.
Behind us the Bifrost came to life, flashing the spectrum of light as it whirled.
"I Allfather, CAST YOU OUT!"
A beam of golden light shoots out from Mijlor, hitting Thor square in the chest. The blow sends him flying back in to the Bifrost.
"NO!" I run toward where he just stood. Loki stays put in shock. But all I have eyes for is Thor's disappearing figure.
I stand on the edge, looking in. The force is strong, tearing at my clothes. However bot strong enough to drag me in and join Thor. What do I do. What can I do. Mijlor flies past me into the bridge, vanishing as Thor did.
"I will always follow you" I whisper. I will not lose him. I promised I would follow him, not because I have to but because I love him. The realisation is shocking. Like a bucket of cold water, my eyes are open. I do not need to know who or what I am. I only need him. With me. He cannot leave without me. He must feel the same. Stepping my right foot forward I go to follow. Odin's voice calls to me.
"Don't be foolish Hel. This was your brothers choice, he must learn from his mistakes and understand the consequences!" order ringing in his tone.
"And I will be with him every step!" I scream in return.
Looking at Loki he sees what I have realised. His gaze is accepting. He nods at me simply. We talk.
I hope you know what you are doing.
I do.
I will find you when I know what is going on with us.
I don't want to leave you to do this on you own.
Don't worry about me, we will figure this out, I promise.
I love you.
I love you too.
Odin does not know of the private conversation, but sees our understanding exchange of gazes. The resolve in my eyes.
"No Hel don.."
But he cant do anything I have already jumped.
Earth, New Mexico (no pov)
Three figures stared down at the prone man on the ground. That was of course; after they hit him with their mobile labratory unit. Or motorhome. Which ever way you want to look at it. When they had first set out none of them expected to mutilate an unknown man in the middle of nowhere in their desperation for scientific evidence.
"Legally that was your fault" came the bespectacled brunet. Her joking masking the real worry in her mind.
"Get the first aid kit" screamed the perpetrator. Her nerves were already frayed, "do me a favour and please don't be dead" begging to the silent slumped man. Her hair tickled her top lip as it quivered in shock. A gasp dragged into the mans chest cavity as the scientists pleas were answered. Sitting up rigidly, the other three sighed seeing he had no spinal injuries. Hopefully that would mean not as big a law sit. This also meant they could see his face. Darcy was very interested to say the least.
"Wow does he need cpr, cause I totally know cpr" her accent caused her words to hum attractively. The other older woman rolled her eyes, as if this was a common occurrence that the younger became distracted. The once still man didn't care about the two women or the man a further behind them. His eyes skittered around him. Taking in the alien surroundings. Turning he tried to look at the group, but an unknown light blinded him, so he could only see their shadowed outlines. Having no powers, weapons, knowledge of where he was or who he was with stopped him in his tracks. He was at a disadvantage; not something he was used to.
Falling back on the ground he groaned exhausted, remembering the events that lead him here. His thoughts returning to the raven haired beauty.
"How did he get here?" queried Jane. She is an intelligent person and intelligent people don't like not knowing. It is why they are intelligent.
Annoyed that she was talking as if he wasn't there, he climbed awkwardly to his feet, roaring at the strain. Gasping like an animal, and worrying the three other individuals.
"Are you alright?" her anxious voice shook.
"Hammer... Hammer!" his tone did not change from the disgruntle roars.
"Yeah we know your hammered" muttered Darcy darkly, "its pretty obvious",but still checked him out, obviously!
He started to stumble around randomly, still disorientated after his fall from grace. Causing all three of them to believe even more that he was truly off his face. As well as drawing the female astrophysicist's attention to the earth. On the ground Nordic knots and runes had been etched into to dust. Curtesy of the Bifrost. Which of course the scientists did not know.
"Oh my god Eric look at this" her eyes danced over the scene, the questions filling her head ".. we have to move quickly before this all changes"
Thor continued to stumble around. Still not gaining his balance. Eric noticed, but all Jane cared about was the dirt.
"Father!" he also did not care about them. "He's fine" she snuffed. " ...Look at him" all attention down on her work.
"Heimdal! I know you can hear me open the Bifrost!" Thor's nonsensical demands showing his growing anger. The three others became increasingly tense. They were confronted with an aggressive lion.
"Hospital" Jane's voice came without her realising "...you go. I stay" chopping her words. Wanting to be as close to the sight and as far away from Thor. She had finally got a brake in her research and she wasn't going to lose it because of some high blonde body builder who got in the way.
Giving up hope on calling home Thor turned to the humans. "You what realm is this? Alfheim, Laufheim?" pointing rudely at the three, who had subconsciously clustered. Shocked by his odd phrases and loud angry voice Darcy raised her taser gun whom she had named Eddie (as the unthreatening name contradicted his purpose; and her favourite uncle once had a guard dog by that name) in preparation for any problems.
"New Mexico" she answered, feeling more bold with Eddie as back up. She always carried him around.
"You dare threaten me, Thor, with so puny a .." his arrogant words were cut of as Darcy pulled the trigger. Electrocuting the gorgeous mountain of a man suddenly to the dusty desert floor. To say this had not been a good twenty four hours for Thor, would have been an understatement. The two hundred volts of electricity passing through his nervous system was the cherry on top of this crappy-day-cake. It had started out so well.
At the disbelieving look she received from Eric and Jane, Darcy defended herself screaming, "WHAT! He was freaking me out!" and then subsequently kissed Eddie. Secretly whispering "good boy" affectionately.
Quickly after that they loaded him into the van. It was a strenuous task considering Thor was mostly muscle. Eric did his fair share of complaing, which is acceptable as his back had recently been causing him problems.
"Glad there wasn't more of them" he joked gruffly to the two women. Depositing the beefy blonde on the van floor roughly. Ironic were his words, as not a hundred feet away another figure was lying prone. Unnoticed in there quick survey of the area. The van gauntingly turned and drove away in the opposite direction so the passengers in the vehicle did not see the ghastly angle it was positioned. It had not stirred like Thor. Bent and twisted in the heavy metal and clothing. The body was not seen by them as they drove away. Neither by Heimdal either, as he had been order by Odin not to look towards that body. As it was expected to accept the ramifications of it's choices.
So she lay abandoned and mangled upon the desert floor. A broken doll, lost to it's owner.
I wonder what will happen to Hel, hmmm. No really I honestly don't know xxx Mousey
