"You are unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed!"
"F-Father…"
"I now take from you…your power!"
"Father, wait!"
"In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin All-Father, cast you out from the sanctity of Asgard!"
"Father, please!"
"BEGONE!"
"Father!" The word echoed in the air as my eyes snapped open, greedily gulped in air while staring at the ceiling above me.
"W-What?" The whispered words slipped from my lips as I stared at the white ceiling above me, the periodic beeping in the background confirming my guess that this was a hospital room as I went to sit only to grunt as I couldn't move my arms.
I also felt the tight grip on my legs and looked down before cursing at the sight of black belts keeping me secured to the hospital bed and I struggled to free myself before slamming my head back onto the pillow as my efforts were for naught.
"What was that dream?" The dream had felt so real and yet so distant at the same time, as if I was busy watching a movie and experiencing at the same time.
"Am I actually him? No, it must have just been because I watched the first movie yesterday." I muttered as I rolled my wrists and ankles, feeling the belts around them slowly loosening before I hissed as it burned the moment I ripped them free.
'Rope burn. Fuck, it always hurts.' I thought with a groan as I rubbed my wrists, shaking my feet before standing up from the bed and being surprised at just how goddamn tall I was.
Going from the perspective of a guy that was 5'9" to the perspective of a guy that was 6'3" was a very weird experience, especially when you consider the fact that I was a bit stocky in my past life and ripped like a god in this one.
'And that's quite literally.' I thought with a smirk as I poked at my pecs, grinning at how it felt like I was touching firm muscle through the hospital gown before frowning as I looked around.
From the few memories that I have of Thor, which wasn't much other than the ones I had of the week leading up to Father banishing me along with a few others, I got my power ripped away from me by him and then thrown to Earth to learn…something?
'Was it wisdom and humility? Crap, now I wish I paid attention to the storyline of Thor 1.' I thought with a frown as I looked at my other memories, only able to see flashes of the movie that showcased my journey from being turned into a human to becoming a god/ alien-god once more.
It was a weird experience too, being able to switch between lives/ memories and personality with the flip of a switch, but I could also feel how some memories overlapped and fused into one, the most prominent being those of the start of the Thor movie as well as Thor's memories from where he was made Crown Prince to where he got banished just yesterday.
'However, I can't keep on looking through the memories when I can get caught any moment.' I thought with a frown as I looked around, smirking as I caught sight of an open window and rushed to it to see a series of balconies perfectly placed within jumping distance of each other all the way down to the first floor.
Time to see if I still have the athleticism of a god.
'Urgh, a bit…sore in some places.' I groaned as I landed with a thud and rolled across the ground, stumbling a bit as I had gotten a cramp halfway down and had a rough tumble with a balcony on the second floor.
However, it wasn't a rough fall and I was able to get back down with slight difficulty, now limping towards the parking lot to see if I can't find an open car to steal some clothes from.
'Is that bad? Yes, but I'm not going to keep walking around with my a-!' A wheeze escaped my lips as something hard slammed into my side and sent me rolling across the ground, rolling onto my back while slowly taking raspy breaths as the wind was knocked out of me.
"Oh my god! We're so so-You?!" I just groaned as I blinked a few times to stop my vision from spinning before being surprised at the sight of a frowning woman kneeling besides me with light brown hair.
While she was pretty, I was more focused on the woman behind her and she blinked at the focused gaze on her before giving me a smirk and a wave.
"Like what you see, oh great God of Thunder?"
"…Kind of." My blunt answer surprised even me as I slowly stood up, deciding to just go along with it as I stumbled slightly before looking at the Kat Dennings lookalike, even though she looked a bit younger.
"Oh, is that so? Glad to hear that a god likes how I look even though I tazed him." She said with a giggle and I blinked before giving an apologetic smile as I remembered how we/ Thor acted when we first arrived.
"Ah, right. I apologize for how I acted at the time."
"Eh, we got you back by hitting you with the car so it was not needed. Ah, right. The name's Darcy Lewis. The old grumpy dude is Eric Selwig…"
"Pleased to meet you." I nodded at Erik, whose frown simply deepened as he gave an unsure smile and nod.
"And the pretty lady…"
"Jane Foster. Sorry for hitting you with the car again." She apologized while placing a lock of hair behind her ear, which I noticed as I smiled and nodded while surprising her as I shook her hand.
"Glad to meet you. So, Ms. Darcy, are you perhaps free for a hunt?"
"Hunt?"
"…Right, Midgard does not have hunts." I whispered and while I was surprised at how I was speaking, it also felt weird to not talk like that.
'Huh, must just be the memories clashing & mixing with each other.'
"You're still going with the whole 'I am the God of Thunder' thing, huh? Also, if a hunt is a date, I'm too busy with college to worry about dating right now." Darcy's words drew me from my thoughts and I looked at her before nodding.
"Ah, right. I forgot Midgardians strive to be scholars to prove themselves superior to their fellow Midgardians."
"…Does that not get tiring?" I heard Darcy whisper to Erik, who snorted as Jane just looked confused at my words.
"Okay? And you're not a Midgardian?" She asked and I smiled & shook my head.
"No. Like I've been saying, I am Thor Odinson, god of Thunder and future King of Asgard. At least…I was before Father stripped my powers from me and banished me to Midgard with no advice on how to get them back."
"While I would love nothing more than to hear you talking, we might to get the god of Thunder some clothes lest he keep flashing the public." Darcy said with a sly smirk as she pointed down, both Jane and I looking down before the woman blushed while I blinked at the sight of my hospital's lower body section being torn off and revealing my lower body to the world.
'Huh, Thor really is big on every part of his body.'
'The bacon of 2011…yep, it's still as good.' I thought with a blissful smile as I ate another strip, ignoring the bemused, amused and irritated looks of Jane, Darcy and Erik respectively as I finished my fourth plate of bacon.
"You sure you're not delusional or something, big guy? 'Cause you eat like any 'Midgardian' that likes bacon."
"What being does not like the sweet flavour of this bacon?"
"I can think of a religion or two." Darcy answered and I hummed while cleaning my finger and taking a sip from my cup of black coffee, smiling as I felt the rush of energy that comes from drinking the black liquid before looking at Erik as he snorted and looked away.
"I have noticed that you have a problem with me, Sir Erik. Do you wish to speak?"
"No, he doe-!"
"Yes, I do. What proof do we have that you're this Asgardian god of Thunder that you say you are?" He asked with a doubtful look and while Jane looked a bit upset and Darcy a bit disappointed, I smiled & nodded.
"It is good to doubt. If you believed me from the start, you would either have to be an idiot or incredibly naive."
"I feel like you're calling out here, Mr. God." Jane said with a frown and I chuckled as I shook my head.
"I jest. As for you, Sir Erik, I can say one thing to prove that I am indeed a god. Upon my arrival, you all must have seen the magic of my father bringing me down, correct?"
"You mean the tornado of clouds with the gold and green light inside it? That's your dad's magic" Darcy asked with a raised eyebrow and I nodded before frowning slightly as Erik shook his head.
"That's not enough. It could have been a light tornado trying to form and while we didn't see any lights when we met you, you could have thrown them away before you met us."
"…That is quite the paranoid thought process to have, but it's also a good one. Well, how about this? Do you have pictures of my arrival? If so, you can see me being carried inside the tornado itself. If not, you can also see the marks that the Bifrost left back at my arrival zone from its severe heat. If that's not enough, I know where Mjolnir is so we can go there and I can take my hammer back."
'If I'm even worthy. Didn't Thor have to die in order to become worthy once more? Will I have to do that too?' I thought with a subtle frown before I quickly swiped it away as Jane gave Erik a knowing look, to which the older man looked at her with a frown before shaking his head.
"That doesn't prove anything."
"He just spoke of something that we have proof of. Of course it's proves something."
"It does not."
"Kinda does. How about this? We go with Thor to get his hammer and whether he gets it or not, one of you will be right and the other will be wrong." Darcy suggested and both of them looked at her before looking at each other with determined frowns.
"Very well." / "You're on." Jane and Erik said respectively as they shook hands and I smiled as Darcy rolled her eyes.
"Is this how it usually is with them?" I asked before chuckling as both of them huffed before giving Darcy a betrayed look as she hummed in agreement.
"Oh, you've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Wait until we have to order takeaways. I swear that the two of them started the pizza vs burger argument."
"That's because Jane here doesn't see the natural benefits that come with eating a burger."
"What benefits? Getting bigger? At least a pizza is healthier."
"You mean unhealthier? Have you seen how much oil they placed on it?"
"I see what you mean." I whispered to Darcy as we watched the two of them starting a new argument and she giggled and nodded.
"Oh, yeah. They're going to be busy for a while now."
"…Want to go get more food?" I asked as I subtly stood up, Darcy smiling slyly as she nodded and slowly stood up after me before gesturing for me to come with.
"Come on. I've been craving for a burger since I started with this internship."
"Ooh~ I have always wished to try one from Midgard." I spoke with an excited smile as I followed after her, both of us walking to the counter where she ordered us both a double cheeseburger with extra pickles for me.
"So, are you telling the truth? About the whole god thing?" She asked while we both leaned against the counter, a curious look on her face as I chuckled.
"I sense that you are a person that sees people for who they are, Ms. Darcy. Am I lying?" I asked as I turned to look directly into her eyes, the world around us growing silent as I smirked while she hummed before shaking her head.
"Nah, you look too much like a goody two shoes to actually try & lie."
"Just like that?" I asked and she smiled and nodded.
"Just like that. Like you said, I'm a people person, aren't I?"
"Hmm, I feel like you're fishing for compliments here, Darcy." I said, taking a gamble at removing the Ms. and it worked as she simply giggled while rolling her eyes.
"You were the one who asked if I was free for a hunt, remember?"
"I do remember, but I also remember you saying that you're too busy with college work to date. Was that perhaps a lie?"
"I might have some free time if you ask nicely." She said and I smirked as I leaned forward, noting her eyes widening slightly and her breathing growing a bit heavier as her lips parted slightly.
Reaching up, I softly grabbed her chin before leaning forward, tilting my head slightly and watching as she did the same before smirking as I moved past her lips and whispered in her ears.
"Perhaps next time." I smirked at the disappointed moan she gave as I stood back upright, smirking at the approving grin the cashier gave me as he walked forward while carrying our two burgers.
"Nice." He mouthed and I chuckled & nodded while taking my burger, smirking as Darcy glared at me with a bright red face while taking her food as well.
"You did that on purpose."
"Perhaps I did, Darcy. Perhaps I did."
"Are you two seriously flirting right now?" Joan asked from where she and Erik had finished their argument, a groan escaping Darcy's lips as I simply smirked and shrugged.
'Perhaps my new life as Thor might not be that bad, after all.'
A/N: And the story is now off to a quick start as Thor/ SI are slowly becoming one.
Also, the first movie isn't going to be more than four chapters so after that is going to be some more filler arc before going on with the Avengers movie~!
Also, it took me a while to get this prologue written because I could decide how I wanted to write out the start of this story.
Tell me what you guys think and don't be shy to just go into the chat & tell me if you guys liked it or not.
Like always, you can go to my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read ahead on this as well as many other stories & even some that haven't been released out to this site yet. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.
Anyways, as always, read, enjoy, review and until the next chapter, welcome to…
