Ellesmere's POV

"Do you know how to cook anything at all? "I asked crossing my legs on the couch as it bopped up and down.

"No, I never learned how. I was kinda busy fighting all my life. "He replied taking off his jacket.

"I cook only a little stuff. The easy stuff like Pasta, tacos, burritos, spaghetti, pancakes, scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, goulash, peanut butter and jelly sandwich."I said confidently.

"Well, that's a lot. I don't even know how to make a simple tea. "He chuckled softly.

I held out my left hand with my palm facing out and the right hand on my chest. "I promise I won't tell your secret. " I dropped my hands as he laughed while coming to sit close to me.

He nudged me a bit "What if you could teach me how. You know, the easy stuff. "

"Fine. I make pancakes first then peanut butter and jelly. "

"Ice cream too? "He asked with a pleading look on his face.

"what kind of ice cream? Chocolate or Vanilla? Mint chocolate chip, mountain blackberry or banana walnut? "I asked. He looked confused at the types I mentioned.

"Those are Designer Ice Cream. I'd prefer Rocky Road. " He said pulling me up as he stood. Thor knew Designer Ice cream. Wow!!.

"And we won't forget popcorn! "I reminded. It wasn't going to be fancy but I knew it was going to be good. Anything I did with him would be.

I turned and my hands ran over something soft. I opened my eyes slowly trying to put together where I was. Then it became clear, I was in a bedroom. But it wasn't mine.

What I had touched was a furry duvet, it covered my body all the way to my neck. I sat up. The room was wide with violet curtains, a large glass door gave access to the view outside. The bed was black and white with a purple duvet. A reading desk was at the far end, placed on it was a blue and white vase that held roses.

I got out of bed then I felt something around my stomach. I pulled up my Pj top, I was all bandaged up from my upper torso.
I recalled getting injured and blacking out but where was I?.

I walked toward the glass door and pulled it open. It led into a balcony with luxury chairs. I was starting to think this was Tony's house when the room door opened and Jane walked in.

"What happened? "I asked going back in the room.

She looked as if she was about to go out. She wore a black cocktail dress with panty hose and a black coat was draped over her shoulders with brown stiletto heels. She looked really good which I admitted.

"We're in Austin right now. I have to attend a gala today. Two galas in fact and I need you to get some rest and wait until I get back. "She said moving from one side of the room to another picking up stuff and placing it back.

I knew that move. She only did that when she was hiding something from me.

I looked ridiculous in my Despicable Me Pyjama bottoms and Spongebob Squarepants top. My hair was messy and had grown oddly long and looked almost golden.

"Why am I in Austin? What happened? When did I get here? I was in London sometime ago. Where's Steve and Nat and Tony and Thor? Are they alright? How long have I been here? What's going on, Jane? "

Jane held my arms as I asked her a trailer of questions. She took in a deep breath as she slowly rubbed my arms up and down.

"It's alright. I promise I'll explain everything when I get back but I really have to go now. There's a chicken in the fridge, you can heat it up if you want. And you are not allowed to leave this house till I get back. " She said the last part with a serious face.

"I am not twelve years old Jane. Why? Why can't I leave? "

"Because I said so. I'll explain later but I have to go right now. I'll see you by three. " She said pecking both my cheeks.

"But. . . "I whined.

"I'm serious Adella!! " She said and I froze. She hardly used my middle name. She only called me that name when I was a lot younger and whenever I refused to listen to her. It was a name I'd almost forgotten.

"I'll be back in a jiffy. Do not go on the slides, okay? "Jane said pulling a six year old me to sit on a bench.

"Okay mummy. But can't I go on just one time? "I whined looking at the other kids in the park sliding down and screaming as water splashed in their faces. I wanted to do that.

"No. I'll get the cotton candy and you stay put. "She said kissing my forehead as she made to leave. Halfway through the crowd, she turned and looked at me with an "I've got my eyes on you " signal.

I watched her earnestly and as soon as she got out of sight, I leaped down the bench and ran towards the slide.

"Where's your guardian, little girl? "A man asked. He looked like an officer but his outfit reminded me of lollipops. He loaded the children on the slide.

"She's gonna be here any minute. "I said twirling the hem of my blue shirt that said "Tooth Fairy " at the back which made kids laugh at me sometimes. But I didn't really care.

"You can't go on the slide without a guardian's permission. I'm sorry you'll just have to wait for your mum!" He said turning around to attend to other kids. I moved out of the line feeling sad.

Just then, I spotted a little girl and her mother coming towards the slide. I looked at the girl then at me. She looked six and also wore a blue shirt with black shorts. She was blonde too but she had ribbons on her pleats. Yuck!!

I stood at a relatively close distance and watched them. As soon the woman let go of the girl's hand, I walked up to her.

"Hey, do you know they're giving away free teddy bears at the tent? You can go get one now before they run out. Go, quickly! "

The little girl turned on her heel and took off without a word but with so much excitement on her face. I walked next to her mom, then carefully locked my tiny hand in hers.

The next minute, I was on the slide. I got in and soon I was sliding down with a "whee". All of a sudden, I leaned too much to the right and toppled over, falling down 29 feet to the hard ground.

I cut my lip, forehead, shoulder, dislocated my ankle and lost a tooth. I could hear Jane screaming as she came running toward me accompanied by a lot of people.

"Adella!! "She screamed picking me up gently into her arms as tears streamed down her shocked face.

"Why do you always use that name when trying to keep me exactly where you want me to be? "I asked rolling my eyes at her.

"Because i'm sure you remember that if you had listened to me, you wouldn't have gotten injured or lost a tooth. "She said tilting her head.

"But the tooth grew right back." I mumbled loud enough for her to hear.

"You were just lucky! Don't leave. I mean it!" She said then left the room.

I groaned loudly then heard her chuckling wickedly. I knew she did that on purpose.

I took a shower which was quite hard because of my injury and then changed into a peach colored top and blue jeans. I decided to heat up the chicken. After that, I took a little tour of the house. It was amazing but not that big.

Jane had a lot of furniture. There wasn't much colour in the house. Mostly, black, white, blue or violet. Her room was almost like mine but it didn't have a balcony and her bed was king sized.

Her kitchen was sickeningly clean and so was every part of the house. I got tired eventually and laid down quietly on the soft black couch. I sank in as soon as I laid down, it was that soft.

My wound hurt. I couldn't put the bandage back on so I just put my shirt on. I was starting to feel sleepy when I thought I heard someone knocking.

I stood up and walked to open the door. A man in his late forties stood there staring at me with a wide smile on his face. He wore a faded brown shirt and pants. His hair was cut neatly and his grey eyes looked older with little wrinkles at each side when he smiled. He held a spray can.

"Excuse me? Are you looking for someone? "I said hoping he had lost his way and would leave immediately. I was really sleepy.

"My name's Dr Cameron Hopps. I live next neighborhood. "He said smiling at me as if we'd met before.

I nodded. "Uhn-hun?". He looked absent minded to me then suddenly regained his composure and smiled again. What is with the smiling?

"I'm a friend of Jane Foster's. It's just, i've heard a lot about you and when she told me you were here, I just wanted to come over and say HI."

"What exactly did you hear about me? And what kind of doctor are you? "I had no idea why I cared but I had suspicions too. This guy was totally weird.

"I'm an expert in Thermonuclear Astrophysics. She told me you're her relative. Niece, to be specific. Goodness, you look nothing alike. "He said the last sentence with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

I nodded again, my injury burned and itched. "Yeah, the apple fell worlds away from the tree. "I commented in between my teeth.

But the dude seemed to be interested in my  comment. "Worlds? What do you mean by that? "He asked scrunching his face.

"Uh, why don't you come in and have some tea? "I suggested opening the door wide enough for him to walk in. He smiled again and entered with his spray can.

"You can leave the can right there. "I said pointing at a spot. He carefully laid it down and rubbed his hands on his jeans as he sat down where I'd been lying on. I regretted inviting him in but what was done was done.

I went into the kitchen to prepare a cup of chocolate milk. I hoped he had a sweet tooth too and wasn't a coffee person. He asked question upon question and I tried my very best to not stick his head in the freezer.

His chocolate milk went cold as he spoke asking me about my family and the Avengers. He mentioned being present when I'd raided Jane's Headquarters. I couldn't even recall such a time.

We talked until it was well past twelve o'clock. I stood up and put on a nice face.

"It was nice meeting you Dr Hopps but I really need to rest now. I have an injury. "I said then realized I'd said too much. He used every word I said to bring up a topic.

"You're injured? What happened to you? "He asked but I sensed his tone was void of concern. Just curiosity.

"Uhh, I had an accident but I'm getting better now. "I replied forcing a smile.

"Oh is that so? I hope you get better soon, Miss Ellesmere. "He said but he didn't stand up. We went silent for a while, I thought he'd get the message and leave but he just sat there smiling at me like a confused robot. A robot? I thought.

I crossed my hands behind me as I lit them up with EC. He seemed to notice and stood up gently. A table in the middle of the room formed a demarcation between us.

"Now, there's no need to get nasty about it! "He said smiling again. I watched as his form began to fall off revealing two dirty looking aliens.

I was quick as I shot six bolts in an instant. It knocked them into the bar shattering all the wine bottles.

"You've been lurking around my mother for a long time now. I hope you haven't done anything to her or else i'll turn you into dog food. "I said releasing more bolts as I jumped from couch to couch chasing after the aliens.

It was rather surprising. They usually fought back but now they just ran around in circles making me destroy the house. I stopped then took a breath. I noticed I was getting weak. My injury made it so.

I squatted for a while then stood up. The aliens hung on the half crumbled ceiling looking at me with jet black eyes.

"Where's Jane? "I asked as my hands lit up again but they hurt this time. I ignored the pain trying to focus on scaring my opponents.

They chuckled simultaneously "The same place we've sent the rotten Asgardian. "

"What? "I asked confused at the answer they gave.

But Thor was with the Avengers like he always is. Or not!! I thought.

"You tell me where you're holding them or you won't live to tell how painful your deaths will be. "I said glaring hard at them as electricity flowed through my veins leaving a cold current in its wake.

"We'd rather die!! "They said.

I smiled cooly then stomped my right leg hard on the marble floor. All the current in the house became channelled to me as I aimed straight for the aliens.

I electrocuted them until ashes remained. Then I went upstairs and grabbed my phone. I switched it on and dialled "Steve Rogers ".

I forgot to dedicate this book to my little brother who is a big fan of Thor and the Avengers. He's only four and can't read yet but i'll try to keep this book until he's prolly ten.

And also, I know I have a lot of ghost readers here. I'm really happy you guys read my book and even if I don't know you or you don't comment at all, I really really really really appreciate you spending time to read my book. Thank you so much.

Without you guys, this woulda been pointless so I'm really grateful. Thank you for choosing "Another Asgardian" and I hope you reveal yourselves so we can all get to know each other.

Do not be scared, I'm not some psycho who hacked someone's profile to get here, I am just a normal 18 year old girl who's crazy about Marvel. Feel free to add me up on Facebook so we can chat. I'm not that stable on Instagram yet but when I am i'll be sure to notify you guys.

Have fun reading..

Lots of love ❤❤❤
