Xandar

Thor chuckled, his deep voice resonating through the room. "She has the heart of both a warrior and a lively child," he remarked, watching her enthusiasm with amusement.

A few Asgardian crew members accompanied them, their expressions calm and professional. They were tasked with piloting the ship and ensuring all of the group's basic needs were taken care of during the journey.

Dave leaned casually against a wall, observing Diana with a faint smile. "She does have that unique blend of qualities," he said.

Natasha, meanwhile, stood to the side, arms crossed as she quietly admired the efficiency of the Asgardians preparing for the voyage. "This ship looks like it can handle anything space throws at it," she commented.

Thor nodded proudly. "It's one of our finest. It will take us to Nidavellir swiftly and safely."

Soon, the ship's engines roared to life, and the vessel ascended into the skies of Asgard. Diana pressed her face to one of the ship's windows, marveling as they left the atmosphere. The stars stretched endlessly, the ship gliding smoothly through the cosmos.

"Space travel isn't something I thought I'd ever experience," Diana said, her voice filled with awe. "It's… magical."

Dave smirked. "Get used to it. There's plenty more to see out here."

Thor laughed heartily. "Indeed! The wonders of the Nine Realms—and beyond—await those bold enough to explore them."

With that, the group settled in for their journey, excitement and anticipation filling the air as the ship soared toward Nidavellir.

"So, we're going straight to Nidavellir?" Natasha asked, settling down in her seat. They had been traveling for about an hour, the Asgardian ship cutting through space with ease. Thor, sitting nearby, took a leisurely sip of his beer and shrugged.

"Now, we will stop to refuel halfway through," he said, casually placing his drink down.

Natasha raised an eyebrow. "But don't we have enough fuel? We can refuel anywhere, can't we?"

Thor looked at her with a hint of amusement. "No, we have enough fuel, but it's always wise to have extra stored. Refueling along the way ensures we can explore without worrying about running out."

Natasha considered his words for a moment before nodding. "That makes sense. Better to be prepared."

Thor grinned. "Exactly. The journey will take us through some fascinating places. We'll get to explore while we wait."

The group relaxed a bit, taking in the quiet space around them. Thor, content with the conversation, took another swig of his beer, and everyone settled in as they continued their journey through the vastness of space toward their destination, Nidavellir.

"So, what weapon would you like to have?" Thor asked, looking at Dave with curiosity.

Dave leaned back, thinking for a moment. "I prefer any, but I like swords the most," he replied.

Thor nodded in understanding. "Then you are in luck. Swords are favored by many gods, and the dwarves here create more and more beautiful types of swords. It's like a competition to them now."

"But you have money right? if not I can give you some" Thor added.

Dave raised an eyebrow. "I have a lot of money, but I don't think they will like Earth money. But I have some good metals, though. They might take a fancy to them."

Thor grinned. "Yes, the dwarves only love three things: shiny gold, shiny metals, and bubbly drinks. That's why I'm carrying barrels of Midgardian beer." He pointed to a pile of barrels stacked in the corner of the ship.

Unlike in original where Bifrost was broken and Thor wasn't able to go to Midgard without it being repaired once again, this time thanks to him, it was not broken and he can now easily go back and forth to Earth and return to Asgard. He went there many times to meet jane and even brought her back to Asgard to introduce her to his Mother, so him carrying barrels of beer is not that a surprising thing to him.

Dave chuckled. "I get it. Metal and beer—works every time."

Thor laughed heartily. "Exactly. But you'll find that a good sword crafted by a dwarf is worth its weight in gold."

Dave nodded thoughtfully as the ship continued its journey through space.

The casual conversation carried on until they finally reached a resting point.

"Lord, we have arrived at Xandar," an Asgardian attendant called out, notifying them. The ship began to slow, and the view outside changed to reveal a bustling space station and vibrant cityscape in front of them.

"This planet looks busy," Natasha observed, looking out at the scenery.

Thor nodded. "Yes, it's a famous place for many travelers to rest during their journeys."

Thor, now wearing his black cape, stood up with a grin. "Let's go and see what Xandar has to offer. There's always something interesting to find in a place like this."

Dave smiled and stood as well. "Agreed. Let's make the most of our stop." He was eager to explore the planet, but there was still the matter of forging his new weapon in Nidavellir, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement for the journey ahead.

Xandar is the homeworld of the Xandarians and to many other species as the capital of the Nova Empire with a population of twelve billion. Xandar is located in the Andromeda Galaxy.

As they disembarked the ship and stepped out onto Xandar, they were greeted by a variety of people. The streets were lively, filled with Xandarians and visitors alike. The atmosphere was vibrant, with the hum of conversation and distant sounds of music mixing with the busy marketplace.

However, what they didn't know was that on Xandar, they had advanced devices that constantly detected threat levels from each visitor. As Thor arrived, he didn't mask his presence, and his power was immediately detected, but he was not on Threat level as he was an regular visitor. Meanwhile, Diana and Natasha both disguised themselves, trying to blend in as potential threats. But their readings were still flagged, though not as intensely.

The real surprise came when Dave's presence was detected. His power level was off the charts, and the device sent out a red signal, alerting the Nova Corps' Nova Prime of the potential threat. The message was immediately received, and Nova Prime began to prepare for what seemed like an incoming danger.
