Thor
So here I was standing in the middle of nowhere New Mexico with gates and tarps up. I sighed walking through the gate and showing my badge. At Least I knew dad had nothing to do with this one.
I walked into the tent.
"Long time no see," I say to Phil.
"I was with your father two days ago."
"I know, now you have something that he is not a part of to take care of and I'm who you call in to help with it."
"Well we always try to have the best with things like this, and you're one of the best."
"Besides, it has been a while and I miss my little star." I turned around to see Clint standing there with a smile.
"Clint, I have missed you so much," I said, going over and hugging him.
"No more letting three months pass before you come to see me, understand?"
"Of course." I had known Clint for years, part of growing up in Shield, Plus mom and Clint had worked together a lot and he had worked on training me as well.
"So what is going on?"
"Come with me I will show you." They then show me what looks like a hammer of some kind in the dirt.
"What is the deal with it?"
"Don't know yet we are trying to figure it out."
"It looks familiar to me."
"What do you mean?"
"Almost like I have seen something like it before."
"Well if you figure it out let me know." We all went back to another part and I decided to start doing some research of my own.
The sun had long since gone down and I had only taken a break to eat. I still could not place why it had looked so familiar to me but I knew at some point I would figure it out. That was when an alarm started to go off and rain also started to fall.
"What is that?"
"A breach, stay here." I watched Phil leave and then made my way to where the thing was. I could make out a muscular man running around with long blond hair attacking the agents that came at him.
I watched out of the eye of everyone as the man came into the hole the Hammer was in and watched as he tried to lift it. Only for him to not be able to. I watched as he fell to the ground and I saw him break. Agents came in and cuffed him before pulling him up.
That is when I saw his face, the face of a broken man, a face that I had seen more than once in my life. My heart broke for the man as they took him out. Now I was more determined than ever to figure it out.
I made my way back to where I was before but both Phil and Clint were already there.
"You don't listen very well."
"You know I don't and you are the one that called me."
"I know I thought you would listen and help."
"I am helping and I listen, sometimes. It's one of my many talents."
"It has to be the Stark in you."
"No, her mom was pretty stubborn as well."
"She gets it from both sides, we are in trouble."
"You're just jealous that I can do a lot of things."
"Whatever makes you feel better." We all went on doing what we needed to.
When Phil went to talk to the guy I followed and watched. I could tell that Phil was getting nowhere with him before he walked out for a moment. Then I saw the guy talking but saw no one else in the room. That confused me and I was trying to figure it out when Phil went back in. The rain had long since stopped and the storm seemed to pass.
Then I remembered a story my mom told me when I was little and the thunder would scare me. She told me that it was just Thor the God of thunder and I would be alright because he would not hurt me. Phil was called away because of someone showing up so I took a chance and entered the room.
"Hello I'm Rebekah, do you want to tell me your name?"
He said nothing, just staring.
"That's alright I'm pretty sure I know your name, Thor." He looked at me.
"How?"
"When I was a little girl my mother used to tell me stories. Said the thunder was you with your hammer and that you would not let it hurt me because you were good."
"Well, I'm not that good."
"We all make mistakes."
"I did something so bad I was made to leave my home. Have you ever done that?"
"No, but I'm not perfect. I'm just a human that makes mistakes and learns from them. I always try to do my best though and remember to be kind even when others aren't very kind to me. You should always do what is right especially when it is hard and when you do something wrong apologize and mean it."
"You have a lot of knowledge and wisdom for such a young mortal."
"Well, I am always told I have an old soul."
"You are different from the other Mortals here."
"What do you mean?"
"Your kind, I can see it in your eyes. You are a very good person."
"I don't know about that but I will always try to be."
"You are, never let anyone tell you differently." Just then a guy walks in and starts talking to him and walks out with him. Phil gives me a look and goes to make sure they leave then comes back to me as Clint walks in.
"What were you thinking Rebekah? We know nothing about him."
"I was thinking that you were not getting anywhere with him and maybe we could use a different approach."
"You can't always become everyone's friend."
"It has worked pretty well for me so far. I got him to talk."
"That is not the point you could have gotten hurt and who do you think that everyone would be mad at me. You have to listen and follow orders. You wanted us to let you in on things like this but you have to do it the right way."
"Well, maybe the way we have been doing it needs to change to be better."
"You know what, I have other things to take care of. Clint, I need you to watch her."
"Phil" but he already walked off.
"Come on," Clint said, leading me into a room away from others.
"He's really mad at me."
"Not you, just the situation. Don't worry he will cool down and forgive you. No one can stay mad at you for too long."
"Clint, I just want everyone to be proud of me. I want to make a positive change in the world."
"I know Nat told me."
"Of course, you two were talking."
"Always, it is just because we worry about you."
"Well, I wish everyone would stop treating me like a kid. I know I am only 19 but I do know things and I can look after myself. I have been trained by some of the top agents Shield has ever had. I know more than most of the agents here. I have seen more than some of them as well. I just wish people would stop asking if I am ok."
"We will always want what is best for you because we love you."
"I miss her Clint. Every single day it gets harder to remember everything about her. Her laugh, the way she would talk or walk. How she would sing to me. I know the look on his face, the one of a broken person. I know because I see it when I look in the mirror. I just miss her so much and wish that she was still here. What if I forget her?"
"Is that what you have been so worried about? Rebekah, you are not going to forget your mom because a part of her lives in you and you have the rest of us to help you remember everything else about her. She will never really be gone, not as long as you are here."
I let myself fall into his arms as the tears streamed down my face.
"It is going to be alright we all have you, Rebekah. None of us are going anywhere."
I sat there in his arms crying until I had nothing left in me but I felt so light and free after letting all of it go that I was able to fall asleep.
When I woke the sun was up and I was in a different room on a cot. I sat up and slowly got up. I walked out of the room and found Clint.
"Did you sleep well?"
"I did thank you. What is going on?"
"More research trying to figure things out."
"Well, that is exciting."
"You do love being busy."
"That is my normal. How is Phil today?"
"He's not as mad."
"Do you know where he is?"
"Come on, I will take you to him." We walked through the makeshift halls until we got to Phil.
"I trust you got the sleep you needed."
"I did, Phil, listen about last night. I am sorry. I said things I should not have said and I know I'm not the best at listening."
"Rebekah, I know who you are. I also know that you never do anything that you don't know in your heart is right. I just could not live with anything happening to you. You mean too much to all of us. I don't want anything happening to you."
"I know Phil, I promise I will try to do better. I will listen more."
"We all know you are not going to start listening now."
"You are probably right. So do you forgive me?"
"Of course I do." Phil was called over for something weird going on and they got ready to leave.
"Could you try to stay away from it until we know more?" Phil turned and asked me.
"I will try" Clint had walked away and Phil left with the other agents.
After a little while, a call came in about some people showing up in the town. With a smile, I grabbed some keys and made my way to the town. I only said I would stay away from the weird storm thing, not the town.
The drive out to the town was not too bad and was closer than I thought it would be.
I got out of the car and saw Thor with some other people. In the distinct, it looked like a huge storm coming.
"Thor"
"Lady Rebekah."
"Just Rebekah, do you know what is going on?"
"Nothing good, these are my friends Lady Sif and the warriors three. Then my friends from here. This is Rebekah. She was the nice one that I met."
"Nice to meet you all. What do we do?"
They go on making a plan to get people out while Thor's friends hold back whatever was coming.
We started getting people out of the buildings and I looked up to see what looked like a metal robot. Very much like something dad would build. We watched them trying to stop it while Thor stood in front of us before telling us to run.
Standing with the others we watched him walk towards the thing.
"What's he doing?" Jane asked.
"He's doing what he thinks he needs to so he can save us all." we watch him talk to it then he is hit by it and flies through the air, Jane runs to him and all the rest of us can do is watch. Just when we think it is all over something comes flying through the air.
There is light and there is Thor in the middle with his hammer. I smile and he fights the robot thing. Then Phil shows up and looks at me before talking to Thor and Thor takes off with Jane.
"Rebekah," Phil said.
"I know, you can yell at me later but I want to see this through. I will be back soon."
I drove with the others back to the passage they talked about.
"So Thor, God of Thunder, and all of his friends. My mom used to tell me stories about Asgard."
"She knew the history?"
"Yes, she knew a lot of things."
"Where is she now?" Lady Sif asked.
"She passed away a few years ago." They all looked at me.
"You are so young though." Darcy told me "How old were you?"
"Sixteen"
"I'm so sorry." She replied.
"Thank you, I do alright with my dad though."
"Wait, Rebekah as in Rebekah Stark? Tony Stark's daughter."
"That's me"
"I have so many questions."
"Well after this I'm more than happy to answer them." We pulled up to the place and they got ready to leave. Just before they did Thor looked at me.
"Lady Rebekah, always remember what I told you. You truly are an amazing person."
"Thank you, Thor, Remember that you are worthy, believe in yourself."
"Thank you, Lady Rebekah. I hope to meet again soon."
"You as well Thor." They then went off and we were all standing there. Then it was just gone and we started to walk to the car.
"So are you in trouble then?"
"Most likely. Come on, I will take you back with me."
We got back to where the setup was and they were all debriefed and Phil and Clint were waiting for me.
"Alright, I know what you are going to say."
"You do?"
"Yes you wanted me to stay here but like always I didn't listen."
"I heard you helped save a lot of people by being there. You listened to your gut and sometimes out here that is all you got. You did well today."
"Even Though I left?"
"Yes, I'm proud of you."
"Thanks, Phil."
"Though if any of the others say anything you get to talk to them."
"That I can do."
"Come on, miss, let's get things ready to get you home." I went with Clint and got my things put together.
"You know it was nice working with you even if it was such a short time."
"Well, I'm glad I was able to work with you as well. You always are a joy to have around."
"It has just been so long since we have seen each other and it was only a few days we had. Plus we were working the whole time as well."
"Well, I'm glad you feel like that because I was wanting to know if you would like to come with me to meet Nat for a week away from the world."
"That sounds nice." We finished with all we needed to do and I ran into Darcy as she was coming out. So we talked for a little while as she asked me different questions she had for me.
We said goodbye and Clint and I headed out after telling Phil we were both taking the next week off and heading to meet Nat.
"So are you ready to go?" He asked.
"So very ready." We got in the car and headed out. We were driving for a little while when we called Nat.
"Hi Tasha, where are you?"
"I'm driving up to the farm now. You have our girl right?"
"Hi, Nat."
"Clint tells me you kind of kicked butt out there."
"I mean I guess I did."
"Well, I'm proud of you little one."
"Thanks, Nat."
"How far out are you?" Clint asks her.
"About 10 minutes. Where are you?"
"We are just getting ready to leave New Mexico and will fly out that way from Malibu. Rebekah needs to get a few things from home."
"Well, I will see you as soon as you get here then."
"See you soon Nat."
"Bye Tasha."
We hung up the phone and made our way to Malibu where we would get a flight to New York. I was ready for a nice long break away from the crazy of the last few weeks.
