First Impression
When Evie woke up from her nap, it was to JARVIS informing them that dinner was ready. Evie sat up and rubbed her eyes, “Mr. JARVIS, do you know where my Daddy is?”
Yes, Miss Evie, he's in the training room with your uncle Loki and Captain Rogers. I have informed them that dinner is ready and they will be up shortly.
“Thank you, Mr. JARVIS.”
Evie got up and made her way to the elevator, and JARVIS took her to the penthouse where Pepper and Natasha were making dinner. The women made spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread, and salad. For dessert, they made a chocolate cake. The elevator doors opened, and Evie came into the penthouse.
“Mmm, it smells good in here,” Evie said with a smile.
“Thank you, Honey,” Pepper said.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Why don't you help me set the table. I'll put the plates, and you put the silverware,” Natasha suggested.
Evie nodded and grabbed the silverware from the drawer. She followed behind Natasha, who set down the plates and wine glasses, and Evie would put down a napkin and silverware. By the time they finished, Tony had come downstairs after taking a shower. He smiled at Evie and picked her up and kissed her cheek.
“Hello there, lightning bug.”
Evie giggled, “Hello, Tony.”
“Are you ready for dinner?” Tony asked.
“Yes, oh, I forgot I need to take my vitamin. Let me go get it.”
“I'll go with you, Mini Point Break.”
Evie stared at Tony, confused but shrugged. She had heard Tony call her daddy that but she didn't know what it meant. She and Tony walked into the elevator and went back to Thor's floor. Evie went into the kitchen, and Tony followed her, “Can you get that bottle, please, Tony?” Evie said and pointed to the bottle on the shelf.
Tony took down the bottle and read the label. He took one vitamin out and then got a glass of water for Evie. She received her pill then drank the rest of the water, “Okay, let's go back.”
They went back to the elevator and went back to the penthouse. By that time, everyone else had shown up. Thor beamed when he saw his daughter come in with Tony, “Where were you, Petal?”
“I was taking my medicine, Daddy.”
Thor nodded and then helped Evie into the seat next to him. Evie was served a little bit of salad and spaghetti and meatballs and a slice of garlic bread, “Eat as much as you can, Evie,” Thor told her.
“Yes, Daddy.”
As soon as everyone was served, they began their meal. The adults had wine, while Pepper poured Evie some juice. They all sat around eating and drinking. Evie managed to eat all of her food and ask for seconds, which pleased Thor to no end. His little girl was beginning to get an appetite and was slowly putting on weight. After dinner, Pepper served them all chocolate cake and coffee, milk for Evie, and they had it in the living room where they decided to watch a movie.
As they were watching the movie, Thor and Loki suddenly felt a twinge. It was Heimdall calling them back to Asgard. Thor looked at Loki, “Did you feel that?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Heimdall is calling both of us,” Thor said.
“Daddy, I felt something weird just now,” Evie told her father.
Thor smiled, “That would be Heimdall calling us to Asgard.”
Evie's eyes widened, “We're going to Asgard?” Evie said apprehensively.
“It would appear so, Niece, do not worry, I'm sure that it's only your grandparents wanting to meet you.”
Evie nodded. She hoped that's all it was; she knew that Odin didn't like Midgardians from what Evie had read in Mythology, and she was scared that he wouldn't like her.
Thor watched his daughter slowly start to panic. He picked her up and placed her in his lap, “Your grandparents will love you, My Princess, as I love you.”
Evie took a deep breath, “Okay, Daddy. Do I need to go pack?”
“No, we shouldn't be in Asgard very long,” Thor told her.
Then Thor stood up with Evie in his arms, “My friends, I hate to cut this short, but Evie, my brother, and I are being summoned back to Asgard.”
“How long will you be gone,” Clint asked.
“Not very long, I would think. Perhaps a few days.”
Everyone nodded, “Okay, Point Break, and when you get back, I'd like to talk to you about something,” Tony said.
“Of course, Tony.”
After Evie said her goodbyes to everyone, she, her father and uncle went out onto the roof. Thor held onto Evie tightly, “Do not let go of me, Petal, the trip will be quick.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
With that, Thor called for Heimdall to open the Bifrost.
A bright rainbow light engulfed the trio, and they were pulled towards the sky. Evie had her eyes tightly shut, but slowly she opened them. She looked around and saw the stars and planets whipping by; her mouth fell open to see such beauty. A few seconds later, they landed in the observatory of Asgard. Evie looked around and spotted a dark-skinned man with amber eyes wearing gold armor, holding a long sword, staring at them. Evie knew instantly who he was.
Evie gulped, “Hello, Mister Heimdall.”
“Hello, Princess Evelyn. Welcome to Asgard,” Heimdall said, giving Evie a small smile, “Welcome home, Prince Thor, Prince Loki.”
“Thank you, Heimdall,” Thor said, “Are my parents in the throne room,”
“Yes, they are waiting for you to bring Evelyn to them,” Heimdall said.
Thor brightly smiled at Heimdall, “Thank you, Heimdall.”
With that, Thor shifted Evie in his arms and strode out of the observatory with Loki following behind. The got to the horses that were waiting for them, and Thor handed Evie to Loki. He got on his horse, and Loki gave Evie back to him. Once Loki was on his horse, the trio rode to the palace. Evie's eyes were wide as she looked at the golden palace in front of her. She gawked at everything around her as they entered the city. There were so many sights and sound that Evie was a little intimidated by it all, she clung tighter to Thor and whispered in her ear, “Do not be afraid, my brave little warrior. The people of Asgard will love you.”
“Are you sure, Daddy?”
“Of course, you are their princess.”
The arrived at the palace steps, and a stable boy came running out to take the horses for Thor and Loki. He bowed to the princes and then took the horses away. Thor put Evie down, he grabbed her by the hand and led her inside. Evie's head swiveled around, and she took in everything around her. She noticed that all the servants would bow to her father and uncle, calling them ‘My Prince.’ Then she sees that they were calling her Princess as well.
Evie blushed and started waving at everyone they passed; she didn't want to seem rude. Thor looked down at her and smiled, Evie didn't realize it, but by her acknowledging the servants she was endearing herself to them. It made Thor proud of his daughter. As they started getting closer to the throne room, Evie starts slowing down. Thor looked at her, concerned, “Are you alright, my love?”
Evie took a deep breath, “I'm scared.”
Thor stopped and kneeled in front of Evie, “You have nothing to be frightened of. Your grandmother is going to love you.”
“And Grandfather?”
Thor looked up at Loki, and Loki nodded, “He may be a little gruff with you, but he's like that with everyone, so do not worry.”
“I know Odin doesn't like Midgardians, Daddy.”
“It's true, he doesn't, but you are only half, and you are my daughter and heir. There is nothing to worry about.”
Evie looked into her father's bright blue eyes and nodded. She took a deep breath to settle her nerves and let it out slowly, “Alright, I'm ready.”
Thor smiled at her, “Alright, come along,” Thor stood then retook his daughter's hand.
They made their way into the throne room, Evie's mouth fell open when they walked in. Everything was made of gold; there were guards lined up along the walls with intimidating weapons, all with wearing a serious look on their faces. Usually, the room would be filled with all the nobles of Asgard, but that day, it was empty. Evie looked up, and she saw sitting on a golden throne on a high dais, an intimidating man dressed entirely in gold armor, he had a long flowing cape and a golden eye patch over his right eye.
Standing next to him was the most beautiful woman Evie had ever seen. She was wearing a long flowing gown made of silk, her blonde hair was done in intricate braids, and she wore a gold necklace and several golden bracelets. The beautiful woman smiled at Evie, making the little girl relax somewhat.
Thor led Evie towards the bottom of the steps with Loki following behind, and all three of them kneeled and bowed their heads, waiting for acknowledgment from the Allfather. Odin sat on his throne and stared at the trio for a few moments. His eye looked over the little blonde girl that was his granddaughter. He didn't like that she was half Midgardian, but Odin had to admit to himself that she was very powerful. He could sense it from where he was.
Odin looked over at Frigga, who nodded, confirming his suspicion. And even though Odin did not approve of Thor fathering a demigod, that was no fault of the child; he couldn't punish Evelyn for something she had no control over. Nor could he punish Thor for something he did not know of. So the only other option was to accept that this little girl was his first granddaughter and heir to the throne of Asgard.
“Rise, Thor Odinson, Loki Odinson, and Evelyn Thorsdottir.”
The trio stood and looked up at Odin. He looked at each of them in the eye and was startled to see how much Evelyn resembled her father. There was hardly any trace of her mother in her, “You may approach.”
Thor, Loki, and Evie made their way up the steps until they stood in front of Odin, who was now standing. Odin looked down at Evie, “So you are my granddaughter.”
Evie squared her shoulder and looked Odin in the eye, “Yes, Allfather, I am your granddaughter.”
“Are you not afraid of me, child?”
“Of course I am, but I am not going to cower in front of you, like a scared little mouse.”
Odin's lip twitched. “You're a brave little thing. You certainly are your father's daughter. Evelyn, I would like to present to Queen Frigga, your grandmother.”
Evie turned towards her grandmother and beamed at her. Frigga could help but step forward and hug her granddaughter. “It is so good to meet you, Evelyn, finally, or do you prefer Evie?”
“Evie, if you don't mind, Grandmother.”
Frigga laughed, “Evie it is then, come, let us get you some appropriate clothes for Asgard while your grandfather talks to Thor.”
“Alright, Grandmother,” Evie said and takes her grandmother's hand.
“Frigga, take our granddaughter to the healers first,” Odin said.
“As you command, husband.”
After that, Frigga and Evie left the throne room.
Odin turned back to his sons, “Come, let us retire to my study. I wish to know more about my granddaughter,” With a flurry of his cape Odin left the throne room.
“That went better than I thought,” Loki whispered to Thor. Thor only nodded as they followed their father.
As Frigga and Evie walked down to the healers' room, Frigga pointed out all the sights of the castle and told stories to Evie about Thor and Loki when they were little. When they arrived at the healers' room, they walked in and were greeted by one of the healers.
“Greeting, Your Majesty, how can I be of service?”
“Hello, Healer Eir, I have brought Princess, Evelyn, my son Thor's daughter. She has been living on Midgard since her birth, and the Allfather wanted her to receive an examination.”
“Of course, Your Majesty, this way if you please.”
Frigga took Evie's hand and led her to the Soul Forge. Healer Eir explained to Evie what they were going to do and that all she had to do was lie down. Evie agreed and got on the bed. Once Evie laid down on the bed, the examination got started, Healer Eir shook her head, Frigga came around so that she could see what Eir was seeing and gasped. They could see all the improperly healed breaks that Evie had and that she was very underweight for her age.
Healer Eir asked Evie how she got those injuries. Evie hesitated at first, but with an encouraging nod from Frigga, Evie told Healer Eir of the abuse she suffered under the Dursleys.
“Disgraceful to treat a child in such a manner.”
“Can you heal her,” Frigga asked.
“Without a doubt, your majesty, it will only take an hour to heal all the damage those horrible Midgardians have done to our Princess.”
And so, the healers got to work on healing all the damage that was done to Evie. While that was going on, Odin sat in his study growing angrier and angrier by the minute while Thor and Loki explained the state in which they found Evie, “I will strike them down myself for the harm that they caused my granddaughter. And if this Dumbledore thinks he can take Evelyn from us, he is sorely mistaken. If he tries, his Magical World will suffer the wrath of Asgard.”
“But, there is still the problem with Loki's punishment. I am sorry, my son, you cannot return home just yet. You must complete your punishment, and Thor must be with you,” Odin said.
“I understand, Father, it is what I deserve.”
“Thor, if you like, Evelyn can stay here in Asgard with your mother and me while you go back to Midgard,” Odin suggested.
“With your permission, Father, I would prefer that Evie stay with me. She will have plenty of time to return to Asgard, and I would like to continue to build my relationship with her.”
Odin nodded, “Fair enough, but Heimdall will keep an eye on her, and if any trouble occurs, he will bring her to Asgard.”
“Fair enough.”
“I will also give more of your powers back, Loki, but only enough so that you can teach Evelyn,” Odin said.
“Thank you, Father, I will not disappoint you.”
“Good, now let us arrange a feast for tomorrow night so that Evelyn can meet her subjects. For now, she must be tired. I will have her rooms set up next to yours, Thor, with an adjoining door.”
After their discussion, Thor went looking for his little girl. He found her being led from the seamstress' room, and she was now wearing an Asgardian dress. He smiled at his daughter and picked her up, “You look beautiful, my Princess.”
“Thank you, Daddy.”
“You're welcome, My Princess. Now it's getting late; I think it's time we go to bed. Tomorrow I will show you around Asgard, and then we will have a feast in your honor.”
“Her you are, Thor, I had a nightgown made for Evie, the rest of her clothes will be delivered tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Mother,” Thor said and kissed his mother.
“You're welcome, Thor.”
“We shall bid you goodnight, now, Mother.”
“Goodnight, Thor, Goodnight, Evie.”
“Goodnight, Grandmother,” Evie said and leaned down to kiss Frigga on the cheek.
With that, Thor carried Evie to the room adjacent to his and put her to bed. He went to his room to change then got into bed. A few minutes later, the door that joined their rooms opened, “Daddy, can I sleep with you? It's kind of scary being in the big room all alone.”
Thor smiled, “Of course, my little petal. Come on get under the covers.”
Evie smiled and ran into the bedroom and climbed into Thor's bed. Thor had a feeling she was going to want to sleep with him, which was okay with him. Evie snuggled into her father, sighed, and fell asleep. Thor chuckled and kissed the top of her head. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
