Young God | L. Laufeyson

43. Ragnarok

"I'm so fucking mad at that little shit, I really want to beat him up!" Aurora groans in fury as she stares at Asgard's coordinates on the screen. This is the only place where he could be, he mentioned that they don't walk the same path which can only mean that he wants Asgard's throne. After all, Aurora does know him well. "He doesn't get to break up with me after pulling this shit!"

"Okay, Aurora, I know you're angry and trust me, I want to kick his ass for breaking my little sister's heart, and he will pay for this, but going back to Asgard could mean your imprisonment or even worse, your death." Peter tries to calm her down via com and sighs. "Gamora, help me to convince her!"

"I think she's not wrong. Loki deserves some punches and broken bones." She agrees with Aurora who smiles brightly now.

"Thanks, Gamora! If my brother ever acts like an asshole, just call me."

"Not helping!" Peter intervenes desperately, having no idea how to stop his sister. "Aurora, c'mon, there's the chance that he's not even on Asgard. Let me at least help you and wait for backup."

"There were only two things he ever wanted: Asgard's throne and me! So no, I bet my ass that he's on the planet. I can't believe that this jerk just left me like this." Although it's been four weeks since they broke up and Aurora has wasted this time with crying and devastation, now she's just simply angry. Not even for harming her, because she knows it wasn't him, no, for just leaving her behind.

"Aurora..."

"I was ready to propose to him, Peter. Can you believe that? I don't know why he's building this wall around himself again, why he's blocking me out." She's not the kind of woman who lets a man abuse her but this is something else. Someone was controlling Loki. And she's the only one capable of saving him, otherwise he's forever lost.

"As much as I hate him, maybe he's trying to protect you?" Peter guesses bluntly, shrugging. "He did harm you, didn't he? This guy's never been exactly innocent but he'd do anything to protect you."

"Do you think I wouldn't know this, brother? I do, I'm just disappointed that he doesn't have faith in us." Now she mumbles weakly until she spots Asgard from a little distance. The Bifrost is sending a colorful beam through the stars right now, someone is about to arrive as well. "Gotta go, bye!"

As she lands the ship closely next to Heimdall's Observatory in the water, Aurora gets out of the Moon and activates her jet boots to fly the few meters to the Bifrost. Asgard hasn't changed a bit throughout the years, still remaining in its golden shimmer and aesthetics. As she looks around and welcomes the refreshing air around her, a familiar friend recognizes her little, auburn head on the rainbow bridge.

"Aurora??" Thor's booming voice catches her attention and the auburn-haired girl's face lights up like a Christmas Tree. The God of Thunder hasn't changed much either, he's become even more muscular if this was somehow possible. She has missed the Prince of Asgard.

"Thor! Hey!" Aurora runs towards him and pulls the beefy prince into a hug, although it's really difficult with the enormous skull on his back. The Avenger still remains shocked, almost paralyzed while the little woman embraces him but then he returns the bone-crushing hug. "Oh, my goodness, haha, what's that for??"

"You... I thought you had perished." He admits as he lets go of her, eyeing the traveller curiously.

"What?" Aurora frowns in disbelief, staring at him with widened eyes.

"You and Loki... I thought you two died whilst defeating your evil father. Loki has not answered any messages for years." Thor still processes their survival, shaking his head. "But if you are here..."
