9. Eter

We arrive in London, where we find a girl yelling at Thor, so we go to them.

"Darcy, where is she?" Thor asks bluntly.

"She got sucked into a vortex and disappeared, since then Shield has closed the perimeter and won't let anyone through." she replies helplessly.

"I guess it's happening then." I grumble, but Thor and Darcy listen.

"What's that?" he catches me by the collar, which makes me look at him seriously, and he realizes his mistake. "I'm sorry."

"Now, calm down and let's help the girl who turns the God of Thunder into a sparky yes." I head toward the shed followed by Thor and Darcy. The Shield agents try to stop me but anyway, I didn't waste my time with them. Many of them are Hydra, I know.

I just enter the vortex, followed by the two, and see the fallen Jane Foster. I walk over to her and see the dark elves approaching. "Well, I guess the girls will have something to train with, and so will you," I open a shadow on the ground and follow everyone, leading us to Asgard.

As soon as we arrive, I pick her up in my arms and hand her to Thor, "Carrying is your job. I'll go find your mother and the girls." I head toward the training area, as I know they are not leaving there anymore.

As soon as I arrive, I make myself noticed, stopping the girls' training.

"Okay, time to start getting things moving. Frigga, come with me, I need you to help with something. Hella, go get your father and you girls, please take a shower, eat something and relax, things will get serious."

I turn around in the best Snape style, but I didn't care, I just followed as Frigga followed me.

"Frig, Thor's love has Ether in her body, and the dark elves have awakened. They will attack Asgard. I will send you and Odin to Midgard, your time as king and queen is over, let the new batch of Gods take their respective places.

I will ask Loki to be king, since Thor is much better as a general than as a king at this moment, he is not ready yet and is very impulsive. I will fake your death and you can live the life you always wanted, as a normal woman.

I will bring things forward a bit that should happen in another year or two. When you get to Midgard, start recruiting the Valkyries again. Just for containment of an even further future, I know that training takes time, but I will find the last Valkyries and bring them to you.

Stay a while with Thor's girlfriend, she will be an important piece in the future. I will be attacking Alfheim with the girls, while Malekith will come here. Be vigilant and don't kill them impulsively, so Thor can learn a valuable lesson about his power. If not, I'll find another way."

I explain everything in one breath, to her who just walks into the room where Jane was being analyzed by the Asgardian nurses.

I see Odin arriving with Hella shortly after and ask him to accompany me.

"Let's go where Loki is." he leads the way, with me following him and Hella going to join her mother, to meet her 'sister-in-law'.

When we arrive at the cell, we see a bored Loki, trying to hide some books that his mother sent for him.

"We already know that Frig has been sending you books to appease your boring prisoner boy life," I tell him. Which makes his eyes widen. Apparently, because of the stories, he is afraid of the evil Leviathan destroying mischievous gods.

"Do you want to prove yourself King Loki?" I ask him, which makes him and Odin look at me strangely. "I know you're an ice giant, I'm not fooled by that phony Odin magic. So?"

"How can I be king if I am imprisoned. And people don't trust me, in fact, they don't like me. Even my own father didn't value me." he replies frustrated and bitter.

I start to laugh.

"Odin may be many things boy, but he will never be worthy to call himself a father. He wasn't taught to be, he was taught to be a general, king, warrior and mage, but father, never. And he didn't try either, so I don't respect him as a king. Only as a friend.

He unfortunately caused his family more pain and sadness than you can imagine, all for the good of the kingdom. That's what he gave up to be the king he is. He gave up what should be most important, being a good father. You don't know what he did to his own daughter, who, by the way, he didn't even notice that she was being controlled.

So don't expect too much from the old man, just respect him and try to understand his side as a king and not a father, and you will find that he didn't do a bad job. But you, you can do a better job than him. So, what's it going to be?"

"If the great Skyggedrage thinks so, who am I to doubt it." he replies feeling a little better, understanding the circumstances in general.

"Good, that being so, when the dark elves invade, you just answer the question they ask. From there, you will understand the whole process of becoming the king." I wink at him, while he gives me a confused look.

Then we get out of there and go to the throne again. "Odin, I know you hate the situation, but this is how things are going to happen, regardless of our choices, so just go with the flow. Soon, you and Frigga will move to Midgard, and create the new Asgard, as Ragnarok approaches."

"I know buddy. I will follow your plan, but promise me that Frigga will be fine." that is the only thing that matters to him.

"Do you really think there is any being in the vast universe that can stop Frigga? Sure, put in the normal terms of things. She'll be fine, and live the life she always wanted," I assure him.

Then I move to where the girls are.

"Sif, I believe it is time for you to take over as Phoenix champion and travel the universe doing your job. Jean, I will have a mission for you soon, but I want you to just live your life a little. Hella, time to dance." 'That ending sounded like Madara'.
