Sometimes things are more magical than you know ~ Agents of SHIELD #wattys2015

Yes Men (66)

Realm: Asguard
Exact location: Somewhere in a tavern

"By Jotumheim, ANOTHER."
Sif smashed her mug on the ground. Andromeda rolled her eyes.
"I will give you exactly ten minutes to be angry about your next task, then I am making an end to all this nonsense."
Lorelei had escaped the prisons of Asguard during the attack of the dark elves, and Lord Odin had ordered Sif to haunt her down on earth. But the thing with Sif and Lorelei was...
They were like The Avengers and Loki.
Like Iron man and the Mandarin.
And like Captain America and Red Skull.
By the gods, they were enemies like no one could imagine. But she would complete her task. Andromeda knew that. She always did that.
"Ten minutes are over."
The mug in Sif her hand disappeared, and Sif looked her normal self again.
"I apologise for my behaviour," she said. "As a servant of Odin I should not behave like that."
"You never need to apologise to me, you know that," Andromeda grinned. "Unless you have tried to kill me. That changes everything."
Sif smiled.
"I suppose I should go," she said.
"You want to go on your own to Midguard?" Andromeda asked. "Nonsense. I will accompany you."
"That really is not necessary-"
Andromeda gave her the look.
"My dearest lady Sif, warrior of the mighty Odin, loyal servant of Asguard. I, lady Andromeda, servant of the almighty Norns, are Guardian of the earth, has spend many more years on earth than you, and I have more connections then you. Besides, if you're going to walk around in a city like New York in your battle armor..."
Andromeda made a face.
"You are going to need me."
"In that case, I would say it would be better if we'd go to Heimdall, to locate Lorelei her last location."
"That sounds like music to me."
Sif rose her eyebrows when they left the tavern.
"Is that something from Midguard?"
Andromeda rolled her eyes. "It is not worth to explain."
It did not take long, before they had arrived at the bifrost, with Heimdall, its keeper, and loyal servant of Odin the alvader. Heimdall already knew where they came for.
"The secret way of Loki has send her to a desert on Midguard, my ladies," he said. "I could send you there, if that is what you desire."
"Heimdall, that-"
"Wait."
Andromeda grabbed Sif her arm.
"The SHIELD is our ally on Midguard. It would be wise to request their help."
Sif thought about that.
"I agree. That would be wise."
Heimdall took his sword, to start the proces of sending them to Midguard.
"I would like it if you could be gently please. We don't want to hurt anyone."
Just as Andromeda, Heimdall could hear and see the future, the past, and the present. He knew exactly what she meant.
"Of course."

"New orders. SHIELD is detecting massive energy readings in the sky above the Californian Nevada border."
"Where's agent Coulson?" Ward asked.
"Taking personal time," May replied.
"It's a couple days straight."
"These are the same readings doctor Selvig and doctor Foster picked up in New Mexico, and in London," Simmons told them.
"They tell the arrival of an Asguardian."
Fitz' mouth fell open.
"Thor. O my god, Sanchez would have been out of her mind. And the monkey-"
"We're not sure, Fitz," May continued quickly. "Either way, SHIELD wants us to be the welcome wagon."
"Oh, okay. Fine. No calls for concern. Righ? Asguardians are allies."
Ward made a face.
"Loki wasn't."

                                                                             *

Not even thirty minutes later, five SUV vehicles were driving through the landscape by the Californian-Nevada border.
"Fitz?"
"Eh, we're definitely getting close, but it's a bit of a crap shoot. This is still science we don't completely understand."
"There seems to be a lot going around about that lately," Ward answered.
"So Coulson hasn't talked to you? About why he changed his mind on giving Skye that injection?"
"No. He's keeping it to himself."
"Woah," Fitz said. "I'm getting a massive energy search. Three times a level of the one before."
"How close?"
At exactly the same moment, the sky bursted open with a kind of beam. May pushed the brake almost through the ground. A kind of smoke appeared, obviously caused by the sand in the landscape.
When it all turned away, they could see two women, both in battle armor. From one of them, May knew exactly who it was.
They all opened the doors of the cars, and some agents pointed their weapons on the two women.
"Yeah, definitely Asguardian," Ward said.
"Running facial recognition..."
It took a while before Fitz said something again.
"Okay, got it. The one with the ponytail is obviously Lady Andromeda, one of the avengers. All of you should know-"
"FITZ!"
"Okay okay. About the one without the ponytail, I don't have a name, but I can confirm she was in New Mexico, fighting with Thor and his mates. They're on our side."
"Stand down, they're friendly," May yelled to the other agents.  When the two women recognised the signs on the vehicles, they came into their direction.
"You are the SHIELD?" The nameless one asked.
"Yeah..."
"I am Lady Sif of Asguard," she introduced herself.
"You know, because everyone on Midguard knows my name, I'm not even going to introduce myself," Lady Andromeda replied. Fitz, who was still in the car, was... Surprised. She sounded  so... Not from Asguard.
"But let us say this... Your world is in grave danger."

                                                               *
"Surprised she's here?"
From above the balcony in the cargohold, May and Coulson could see Andromeda and Sif arrive.
"Not at all. She'd warned me a shared ally would visit. I had expected she would be with her. Honestly, I'm more surprised about her armor. It has changed, since the battle of New York."
"I'm not surprised."
Coulson looked at May.
"She has showed her armor to me. Nice daggars if you ask me."
Coulson shook his head.
"What do you know about Sif?"
"She's a warrior. I saw her fight in New Mexico with Thor - climbed a giant metal killing machine, speared it with her double-bladed sword. It was pretty badass."
"They say they need our help to find someone. You're up for this?"
"I'm fine."
"Fine doesn't look like this," May replied. "Not on you. You've been gone, more often then not."
She said nothing for a while.
"Whatever is bothering you, I'm here."
"I know."
Both went downstairs into the lab, where the entire show started when Sif saw Coulson.
"What dark magic is this? Thor said you had parrished at the hand of Loki," Sif said.
"This is called 'lligal resurrection,' without permission from my brother or me, dear Sif," Andromeda replied. "We'll talk about that later. How were you going to say this, Son of Coul? 'SHIELD had a few tricks up her sleeve?'"
"Thanks for predicting the future, Lady Andromeda," Coulson replied. "I would like to ask you not to do that all the time."
"You know I won't."
Sif made a 'Why did I even bring her with me' Face.
"Thor will be pleased to hear you are still alive," Sif said. "He considers you a friend."
"I feel the same, which is why I prefer he hears this from me, if that's okay."
Sif nodded.
"I understand you're looking for someone."
"We're haunting her," Andromeda said. "Lorelai."
"Sixhundred years ago, she used her powers to rule over the nine realms. To command armies. Bring down kings. Empires."
"What kind of powers are we talking about?" Ward asked. "Strength? Speed?"
"Sorcery, Don Juan," Andromeda replied. "And if there is someone who should be the best in practising sorcery, that is me."
"As some of you might know, Andromeda is the mightiest sorcerers of Asguard," Lady Sif explained. "She has all necessary to create and protect life."
"Really?" Fitz plumped out. Immediately, he hang against the ceiling of the lab.
"Do you want to see some more, Leopold?"
"How do you-"
"Fitz, I think it would be better if you kept your questions for later," Coulson replied.
