Misfits

Jane Foster is feeling out of place in Valhalla. She's not the only one. When Jane is given an impossible mission, Loki and her friends want to help — but what is Loki really after?

I originally posted a slightly different version of the first chapter as a one-shot.A note on my interpretation of Valhalla: I'm aware that Heimdall called it "the home of the gods of Asgard", but that doesn't necessarily mean "only gods allowed". I refuse to believe that Odin, et al, lied to the Norse people about the afterlife in the same way that Gorr's god lied to him. I'm going with the traditional view of Valhalla as a place where human warriors were also welcomed. Also, even though Thor told Sif that she had to die on the battlefield while the battle was still happening in order to go to Valhalla, if that were true then neither Heimdall nor Jane would be there as they both died after battles, not during. I think Thor just didn't want Sif to give up because he didn't want to lose yet another friend.
