Chapter 126
"I'm glad you're okay," Jane said to Thor with a smile.
Both were reclined on padded chairs in front of a small fire.
"I haven't properly thanked you for everything you've done for me," Thor said, smiling.
"It's fine, I ran you over with my car a couple of times, we're even," Jane said, laughing.
"I think I deserved it," Thor said, laughing with Jane.
"I was an arrogant idiot who didn't know how to listen. It took my father deserting me and sealing away all my power for me to understand," Thor said, looking at the stars.
"Although I'm sure that Thor, Odin, and the people of Asgard exist, I'm not really sure if you are Thor," Jane said honestly, shaking her head with a smile.
"Why are you so sure?" Thor asked, raising an eyebrow curiously. Normal Midgardians don't know about Asgard.
"My parents died when I was a child. Erik took care of me until I was 16.
"After that, I found out I had a cousin. I went to see him, and that's when my life truly changed," Jane said, smiling nostalgically as she remembered those moments.
"My cousin is the king of the most powerful country in this world, so I practically became a princess. He took care of me and accepted me into his family."
"He is very powerful and told me about the universe, the gods that exist in the universe, celestials, and even entities. At that moment, it was really frightening to know that the universe was so vast and this planet so small and fragile," Jane said, smiling at Thor, who had an expression of astonishment.
Thor had always thought Earth was completely normal and that there was nothing supernatural.
"I always felt like you looked like a princess," Thor said jokingly.
Jane chuckled as she gently nudged his shoulder.
"It's a bit surprising for me, what you're telling me. I didn't know that Earth had anything beyond normal people," Thor said, thinking that his father probably knew that there were supernatural beings on Earth.
"So now are you going to tell me how you ended up on Earth?" Jane asked curiously.
"It's not a very pleasant story," Thor said, smiling slightly.
"I was an arrogant prince seeking battles and recognition to become the king of Asgard."
"It's funny to think that just two days ago was my coronation, but it was interrupted by Frost Giants."
"I was so furious and bloodthirsty that I went to their world with my friends and started a massacre."
"To summarize, we were eventually surrounded, and we all would have died if not for the arrival of my father."
"My father scolded me for doing it, but instead of listening, I insulted him. I still remember the expression on his face after my words," Thor said, looking up at the sky with sadness.
"Finally, my father took away my hammer, sealed my power, and sent me to this realm until you found me," Thor finished with a smile as he looked at Jane.
"You don't look like you used to be," Jane said, looking at Thor.
"Well, I've learned some hard lessons these days... my father died," Thor said, looking at Jane sadly.
"My brother told me after they captured me."
"After all the beatings I've taken, it's hard not to change."
"I'm sorry," Jane said, putting on a sad expression before giving his wrist a reassuring squeeze.
Thor looked at her with a faint smile before changing the subject.
"Let's get back to the topic. I came through the Bifrost, a dimensional energy that allows instant travel between the Nine Realms. My people access it through the Rainbow Bridge," Thor said, smiling at Jane.
"Can you only travel between the Nine Realms?" Jane asked, doubtful. From what she had heard, it could be used to travel anywhere.
"That's right. Thanks to the Bifrost, we've been able to protect the Nine Realms for countless years," Thor said, smiling proudly as he spoke of his people.
"It would be amazing to see it," Jane said, smiling.
"Yes, there's nothing like traveling on the Bifrost, although I might never be able to do it again." Thor said smiling wistfully.
"You never know," Jane said, smiling.
The two of them talked late into the night and eventually fell asleep in the same place.
Thor used a blanket to cover Jane before looking up at the sky and closing his eyes with a touch of sadness.
...
Damian listened to everything that had happened from Laura with an ironic smile.
He wondered if his little Jane would fall in love with Thor or if she would just treat him as a friend or an acquaintance.
Laura quietly said goodbye and left the room, seeing Damian's lost expression. She couldn't help but chuckle quietly within her helmet, thinking he looked like a child about to lose a toy.
Damian didn't think of Jane in any sexual way; if he had to say something, it would be that she was like his daughter. Although he met her when she was 16, he treated her just like he did Monica, and the two of them had grown up together.
Carol entered the room with a teasing expression, though she hesitated a bit when she saw his almost melancholic look.
"What's wrong? Did Laura not accept your advances?" Carol asked, joking.
Damian chuckled softly before hugging Carol and sitting on the edge of the window.
"Maybe Jane will find a partner," Damian said, hugging Carol around her waist.
"Hmm, and does that bother you?" Carol asked, resting the back of her head against Damian's neck. She was quite interested in the topic but preferred to listen for now.
"A little, but not for the reasons you might think. It's a minor concern, but it's like seeing my daughters with partners," Damian said, resting his chin on Carol's head.
"Even though Jane never called me 'father,' I still cared for her the same as Monica."
"Then you never thought of Jane in any other way?" Carol asked, turning around and bringing her face close to Damian's as she looked into his mesmerizing red eyes.
"Of course not, I met her when she was still a child," Damian said, looking at Carol oddly.
"Come on, someone at 16 isn't exactly a child," Carol said, pinching Damian's cheek.
"Darling... I don't know what to tell you. I don't see things from your perspective. I just think about how happy I am with you and wouldn't want to deny that to any of my daughters," Carol said, caressing Damian's face.
Damian couldn't help but twitch his face at Carol's words while avoiding her gaze.
"Tell me about whom you're speaking," Carol said, eager for juicy details.
"Thor," Damian murmured, annoyed.
"The arrogant brat from Odin?" Carol asked, surprised while looking at Damian with doubt.
"I didn't think Jane had that kind of taste," Carol said thoughtfully, remembering that she had met him once before.
He's not exactly the same, now he's just a little stronger than a normal human and he's taken a lot of hits which makes him more humble," Damian said, still grumbling.
"We need to have a serious talk about you keeping interesting things from us," Carol said, poking Damian's chest in annoyance.
Damian chuckled softly at Carol's annoyed expression as she stood on tiptoes trying to reach his height.
''Didn't I just find out?'' Damian asked smiling.
''Who believes you? I'm sure you already knew some things,'' Carol said with a laugh.
"By the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Is it my imagination, or are you implying something between me and Laura?" Damian asked, looking at Carol.
"Hm, not exactly. I just wonder if you like someone else that you want to add to the family," Carol said, looking at Damian.
Damian couldn't help but look at Carol oddly.
"Honey, do you have some strange fetish you haven't told me about?" Damian asked, looking at her.
"Of course not," Carol said, looking at him indignantly.
"Listen, there won't be anyone else. With the family I have, it's enough. Even if it was for having children, I've already got three little princesses."
"But I'm surprised by your attitude. I remember you used to be quite jealous, and you only reluctantly accepted Ana," Damian said, looking at Carol.
"I don't know how to explain it. I just don't want a situation where you like someone, and that person likes you too, but because you're with me, you don't accept them, and they end up in a sad situation," Carol said, looking at Damian as if she knew something.
"Besides, the time has passed, and my mindset has changed. I really like Ana a lot," Carol said, smiling faintly.
"You've been reading internet novels lately?" Damian asked, looking at Carol incredulously.
"How did you know? Are you checking my browsing history?" Carol asked, surprised.
"All right, dear, you win. If someone I like appears, I won't reject them. Besides... don't overthink it. You might hurt yourself," Damian said, playfully slapping Carol's butt before walking to the sofa and sitting down, not taking her words too seriously.
"Idiot," Carol murmured, rubbing her rear. It hurt a bit.
Damian took out his phone and called Monica.
"Hello, sweetheart."
"Yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to tell you that you should come back. Something interesting might happen to you tomorrow. You need to go with Jane."
"Okay, love you. See you," Damian said, ending the call and putting his phone away with a smile.
At that moment, Carol lay down on the sofa where Damian was sitting, her abdomen resting on his lap.
"Spill it, why are you looking for me?" Damian said, gently patting Carol's rear.
Carol turned around and looked at him coquettishly.
"I'm bored. I want to be able to go out and fly, or take our daughters and teach them how to fly, fight someone, destroy things," Carol complained, grabbing Damian's arm.
"How about we conquer a planet and create an intergalactic empire?" Carol proposed, looking at Damian with a big smile.
"Weren't you a heroine?" Damian teased, looking at her.
"I'm retired," Carol affirmed shamelessly.
"Besides, why do it on another planet when we can do it here?" Damian said, smiling mysteriously at Carol.
"Huh?" Carol said, showing an incredible expression.
"Do you want me to tell you about my little plan?" Damian whispered.
Carol's eyes widened in excitement before she sat on Damian's lap and listened attentively.
Damian held Carol's hand and played with her fingers.
"I plan to take the Reality Stone, the Space Stone, and the Mind Stone," Damian said, raising one of Carol's fingers for each stone.
"And combine them to change this world. The era of man will end, and a new one will begin."
"Many people will die," Carol said, uncertain, she suddenly realized that she was a hypocrite, still valuing the lives of humans on Earth more than the lives of other beings in the universe.
"Most likely, but people die every day, plus, do you think making an intergalactic empire is peaceful?" Damian said, nodding.
"Why are you doing this?" Carol asked, looking at Damian.
"Because then our family won't have to hide anything, and it will be fun. A completely new magical world. I won't dare say that everyone will have the same opportunities, but at least they will be warned," Damian said, looking at Carol.
''Our daughters will go to a magic school and they will be able to be really free, they won't have to limit themselves to three friends''.
''Although home life is good and I enjoy every day but sometimes I feel a bit repressed, after all I'm a vampire, I'm not exactly a peaceful being by nature'' said Damian looking at Carol with a slight smile.
"Wars will be more brutal, people in power can abuse it even more," Carol said with concern.
"Everyone will have the same starting point, although, of course, those who are already in power will be able to develop faster," Damian said, sharing his perspective.
"Besides, the whole world will hate you for doing it, even if it benefits them," Carol said, expressing all her concerns.
"People will have real power, they can resist. In the end, it won't be much different from now. If people really want to resist, they just have to do it with courage. It's just that no one wants to die, so no one stands up," Damian said, shaking his head.
"What about our family? The hatred towards you will extend to us. I wouldn't want our daughters to bear that burden," Carol said, with doubt.
"You have a point," Damian said, frowning.
"Besides, you haven't gotten rid of HYDRA yet. They would be problematic in a world like that," Carol expressed all her worries.
"Don't you want to hit and destroy things? Wouldn't it be boring to do it with normal people and more interesting with people who have powers?" Damian said softly in Carol's ear, he did not get rid of HYDRA because it will be entertainment in the future.
"And what if you make sure no one knows it was you?" Carol suggested, looking at Damian, clearly tempted by the idea of having good fights every day.
"That would make it a bit dull, but if it's for our family, that's fine," Damian said, smiling as he caressed Carol's face.
''You really are acting like a villain,'' said Carol sighing.
''So you're the fallen heroine who fell into the clutches of the villain,'' Damian said jokingly as he kissed Carol.
Carol giggled as she listened to him before hugging his neck and pushing him down on the couch as she kissed him.
There was a lot to be said about that, but Carol decided not to think about it, after all, there was still time, Damian hadn't even recovered the Space Stone yet.
...
The next day.
Off the coast of Los Angeles, a manta ray-shaped submarine was rapidly approaching.
The manta ray came to a stop on the surface near a cliff that had a beautiful white villa on top.
A small hatch opened at the top, and a humanoid figure quickly emerged, landing on the cliff's edge.
The submarine closed its hatch before submerging to the depths.
Monica adjusted her hair as she looked towards Tony's house. Seeing no one around, she shrugged before sprinting at high speeds toward Texas.
She wanted to see what was so important that her father had told her to stop what she was doing.
