If you take a look at me you would think I was normal. Normal. Nothing is normal. Anyway I have a very unique background. A lot of people do, but mine is different from all the others. My name is Embla Verdandi the Goddess of Fire. I am originally from Asgard, yes... that Asgard. My father was very good friends with the Allfather Odin. They had known each other since childhood. We lived in the palace with Odin and Queen Frigga along with their two sons, Thor and Loki. They were my best friends throughout my childhood. Until I was sent to Midgard or Earth because of some sort of danger. What danger you might ask? Something I myself don't know. When I reached Earth I was approached by an agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. and gave me the option of being locked away or become an agent. I chose the ladder. I became one of the best agents they had. The training I received in Asgard along with the extra training that S.H.I.E.L.D provided for me I became a very well known agent. Odin told me that as soon as he had figured out what the danger was and had gotten rid of it he would send for me. Well... that hasn't happened yet.
"Agent Em, Director Fury needs you in his office" I hear a voice of a woman whom I recognize as Maria Hill over the intercom. I wheel my chair around and slowly make my way up towards the Directors office. I knock slightly on his door and open it.
"You needed me?" I question raising my eyebrows.
"Oh yeah. They have had a visitor from another realm in New Mexico. I'm betting that it is from yours. I would like you to meet with Coulson and check it out" he says not raising his face from the manilla folder in his grasp.
"Ok" I reply simply. I walk out and head towards a Helicarrier. I take a seat and slowly start to dose off.
I'm awaken by the pilot gently shaking me awake.
"We are here" He whispers softly.
"Thanks" I say just as quietly and grab my stuff and make my way off. I look around and notice that I'm in the same place that I ended up landing from Asgard. I look to my left and see a small building with different agents and scientists bustling around. I make my way towards it and see Coulson with his back turned towards me. He turns and starts walking towards me fixing his tie.
" Em, nice to see you" He says and gives me a slight smile.
" Likewise" I say looking around.
" Follow me, he's this way" he says turning around and walking away. I see a lift with legs dangling off of it and see Agent Barton in one of his famous "Nests" I give him a two finger salute. He nods and I receive the same gesture. I follow Coulson through the building and I glance slightly to my right and that's when I see it. The hammer. I immediately know who it is who's here. He signals towards a room and I quietly slide in and see him, muddy and tired. Thor. What has he done this time. I close the door roughly to get his attention. He slowly looks up and I saw happiness flash pass his blue eyes but they immediately go back to sorrow.
" Em" He solemnly says liking down at his feet.
" That's me" I say with a grin. He doesn't answer but only looks to his left.
" Thor what are you doing on Midgard?" I question quietly. He still doesn't answer. I let out a puff of air and rest my hands on my hips.
" He was banished by Father" I hear a familiar voice say from my left. I turn slowly only to see Loki dressed in a suit with a green scarf. Typical.
" Banished? Whatever for?" I ask looking back at Thor.
" By almost starting a war with Jotunheim" Loki says in a smug voice.
" I believe he has a mouth that works perfectly fine" I snap turning my head slightly.
" I see you haven't changed Em" Loki says with a smile.
" Why would I? " I question rolling my eyes.
" Seeing as you haven't been in Asgard for quite awhile" He says and looks at the ground.
" Anyway, Thor I had to see you" Loki looks up at Thor with pity.
" What has happened? Tell me, is it Jotunheim? Let me explain to father...." Thor ventures off.
" Father is dead" Loki says as I gasp.
" What?" Thor says immediately looking at Loki with sadness in his eyes.
" Your banishment, the threat of a new war... it was too much for him to bear. You mustn't blame yourself. I know that you loved him. I tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. It was so cruel to put the hammer within your reach knowing that you could never lift it. The burden of the throne has fallen to me now" he finishes clasping his hand together. What has happened while I was gone?
