Chapter 74 Worthy

We arrive in Asgard and horses have been gathered for us so we ride to the palace, me with Loki like usual and we all smiling. Chattering and bickering about Asgard and the coronation. It makes us laugh and smile as Morgan picks on a couple of the group. Nat and Clint but she doesn't with us, annoying Clint. It's just so funny and she really is the embodiment of Tony

It doesn't take long for us to arrive at the palace and Loki helps me down as the others climb off, not as graceful as us. We all go inside and make our way to the courtyard where we spot the warriors training. Except most of them are watching Thor fighting Sif and it's clear Sif is winning. Thor isn't using his hammer for a change as they are training with swords only. Instead, I see it by Fandral and I notice Hela and Hope by it. Putting fake snakes all over it which I can tell are laced with magic, making me smile.

I tap Loki on the shoulder, "The little Reindeers games are up to no good."

Loki notices them and chuckles, "That's my girls."

We laugh as we all make our way over to them, going around the training area and over to sit on the benches with our friends. However, we are barely halfway there when Thor suddenly summons his hammer, not wanting to lose to Sif. But the moment his hammer reaches his hand, the snakes glow and he stares at them before they explode in his face. We all burst out laughing but he isn't and instead tosses it aside in anger. And yet I'm horrified when I see it going toward Hope and Hela.

It's going to hit them.

My wings come out of my back as I prepare to fly and get in the way but Loki is quicker. He teleports between them without thinking, ready to take the hit for them and I'm about to scream his name as it reaches him. Scared he will get hurt by it. Instead, we watch in amazement as Loki with his hand in front of him, prepares for the hit and instead catches it in his hand. Stopping it from hitting his face and we gasp in surprise.

Oh my god, Loki is worthy. He can hold Mjolnir and yet he seems completely unaware, turning to Thor as he holds it in his hand. Unaware that he has Mjolnir in his hand and that everyone is staring at him in shock and surprise. He's worthy. Loki is worthy and I find myself going over to him, still in shock but amazed and happy for him.

"Seriously brother, you nearly hit Hope." Loki scolds, annoyed at his brother.

Thor makes to speak but is speechless, unable to say the words. He can't believe it, none of us can and it just proves it. Loki is worthy and I always knew he could be but now he knows for sure. Or at least he will when he notices Mjolnir. How has he not noticed yet? But then he notices his brother confused reaction and realises quickly everyone is staring at him. It takes him a moment before it hits him and he looks at his hand, seeing Mjolnir. He stares at it in shock and instantly drops it, it falling to the ground at his feet.

He moves back, staring at it, "Did I just…" He shakes his head, "No it must be a fluke. There is no way I am worthy."

"Loki." He looks at me as I reach him, "You just caught Mjolnir. You're worthy and I will prove it."

Without thinking, I pick up Mjolnir and hold it out to him for him to take. They all gasp at me, including Loki as I never picked it up before. Never and I guess I am worthy too. It doesn't surprise me considering all I did to save Hope and bring us together. So I kind of figured I might be but this is the final proof. I am worthy and so is he.

I smile, "Come on, I'm an angel, we all guessed I was worthy." A lot of people chuckle as I hold it out to Loki to take, "And you have always been worthy to me. Go on, take it, my king."

This makes him chuckle before he reaches out and takes Mjolnir from me. He waits for it to drop but it doesn't and he holds it in his hand. Everyone is in shock and yet everyone is smiling, staring at their future king in awe. He twirls it about in his hand and I notices all the warriors begin kneeling around us. My friends and family join in and I see Hope and Hela curtsy, staring at their father in awe. I curtsy too and he just stares at us all. Amazed and in awe and even his brother is kneeling. All bowing and respecting their future king, a worthy king.

Loki looks at me and smiles as I stand up properly. He pulls me closer and in seconds his lips crash onto mine with so much passion, that it takes my breath away. I kiss him back as I hold onto him, my hands on his neck and chest. While he holds me with one arm, holding Mjolnir with the other and I'm lost in the kiss. Lost in the bliss of our love as I let it consume us, so intense and fiery. But we are brought back to reality as we hear the people getting up and clapping around us. We pull apart, both smiling and lost for breath.

He pulls away from me, twirling the hammer in his hand before he tosses it towards Thor which hits in the legs. It makes him hit the ground, groaning a little as Loki summons it back to him. He catches it before tossing it so it lands beside Thor.

"Keep it, I have all I need." Loki says, making me smile, "And Mjolnir was more your thing but please be careful where you throw it brother. Or we can go one on one and my wife can make sure you don't cheat."

Thor chuckles getting to his feet, "Fine with me brother but they scared me. How did they know my love of snakes?"

Loki shrugs, grinning ear to ear, "Must have guessed."

"Brother." Thor growls, knowing it was him before he notices our friends behind me, "Oh hey my friends, what are you all doing here?"

"I invited them all here for the coronation." Loki seems to remind him.

Thor nods, "Of course sorry. I forgot." He comes over, "It's good to see you all my friends."

They all begin hugging it out as I shake my head in amusement as the warriors stop staring and go back to training. Sif and warriors also come and say hello as Hope and Hela join us. Hela hugs her father, so happy he is worthy as Hope takes my hand. She is looking at all the strange people and is wondering who they are.

She looks at me, "Mum who are these people?"

I kneel beside her, "They are my friends and our family from Earth. We were all close to your Uncle Tony and Auntie Pepper there, who is married to him. There is your niece Morgan and there is Steve, Bruce, Clint, and Nat. They are basically family to us." I tell her, "And all want to meet you."

"Can you pick me up?" She asks me, "I feel a little… nervous."

I smile, moving her hair to one side, "Of course I can sweetie but you have nothing to be worried about. They are genuinely nice people, kind and caring."

She nods and I pick her up so she is resting on my hips with my arms around her. I bring her over to them as Loki and Hela join us as we breach the distance between them. One by one they see the little girl in my arms and they stare at her in awe. All speechless and it makes us all smile. She is a little shy, playing with my hair but also intrigued by them all.

"She's beautiful." Pepper whispers.

Loki smiles, putting his arm around me, "That she is and a spitting image of her mother."

"But is as mischievous as his father." I say with a smile.

Clint looks at her, taken back, "She's so beautiful and cute. I can't believe she is a little Reindeer games."

"Reindeer games?" Hope asks, looking at them confused.

I chuckle as I look at her, "Yeah your Uncle Tony when he first met your father a long time ago, back before we met, gave your father that nickname. As part of her amour, he wears this helmet with two big horns in it which are like a reindeer. So since then, your Uncle Tony nicknamed him 'Reindeer Games' and the name just stuck. Now sometimes I'm referred to as 'Mrs Reindeer Games' as I am married to your father and you are the littlest reindeer games."

She giggles at this and in moments we are all chatting. Hope even begins talking to them and gets close with Morgan and her auntie. But the hours go by quickly and the coronation is going to happen soon. So me and Loki have gone to the private lounge to change with Hela and Hope. While my friends and family have gone to get their places in the throne room l all except Thor. He won't let go that Loki is now worthy and it just made me smile. Of course he is worthy but I'm so pleased he believes. Any self-doubt he might have had about being King, are long since gone.

It's nearly time and we have changed into our new attires. Loki is dressed in his royal attire, similar to the one he got married in but has more gold plates on it and is wearing his helmet. It makes Hope giggles as she changes into an emerald green gown with horns on the bottom, similar to mine and Hela's. Except each dress gets more eloquent as Hope's is more covered up while mine and Hela's are backless and are more suited to our curves. But mine has more of our mix of colours on it, more shades of green and we are just beautiful. All so beautiful and a perfect family.

My wings stretch behind my back as we finish getting ready and Loki moves to stand in front of me, looking at me in awe.

"You look ravishing beautiful my soon to be Queen." He says with a smile, "I love how all of you are showing off my colours and my horns."

"Well, we have to show off the head of the family." I say with a grin, "And you look very handsome my soon to be worthy King. Are you nervous? I know you have thought about this day since you were a child."

He nods, "A little. I have always wondered what this would be like and after a while, I knew this day might never happen or if I would ever be ready. But I have you by my side and our gorgeous daughters, our family. And in this moment, I am ready to be King with you beside me as my Queen."

This makes me smile, "Does this mean I have to kneel?"

He chuckles, a twinkle in his eyes, "Maybe later my beautiful Queen."

I roll my eyes before we kiss, a gentle kiss, and yet it's full of fire. So much love and we are both ready to become rulers of Asgard. So we pull apart before we look at our daughters, both smiling and ready to go.

There is a knock at the door and we know it's time so me and Loki go in front as Hela and Hope follow behind us. The golden corridors shinning and lined with warriors bowing towards us as we walk down a red carpet towards the throne room doors. I hold Loki's hand as we go, both smiling and full of nerves of excitement. It's time and yet we wondered if this day would ever come and it has. It's time we become the rulers of Asgard.
