Chapter: 64

Chapter: 64

"Hey, are those cosplayers?"

"Woah, look at that woman! She's so beautiful! That armor and sword she's carrying look so real!"

"I feel like the samurai guy should be out of place with the viking theme the rest of them have going on, but he makes it work."

Thor perked up when he heard people outside, the diner we were all holed up in, turn their conversations away from us. He and Jane had joined us at our table soon after we arrived. The spectators were noticeably disappointed when they realized the 'alien prince' had slipped past them and entered the impenetrable diner already. Azazel's spell held strong, and no one else was able to get in and bother us while we ate.

"Oh, is that your entourage, Thor? I don't believe I ever had the opportunity to meet them.'' Azazel commented while Thor looked excited at the group of four that was walking down the crowded streets. The crowd was giving them a wide berth.

The three men looked about as I expected them to. The Warriors Three looked similar to their MCU counterparts with minor differences. Lady Sif, though… I found it hard to draw my eyes away from her. "Woah, she is absolutely gorgeous," I mumbled out. She really was. This wasn't the MCU forgettable Sif that barely had a few lines of dialogue. This was the true goddess Sif. She was supposedly a goddess of fertility, and I could absolutely see it! Her hair was glowing an ethereal light blonde, and her eyes were shining amber! Her face and body were the likes people would wage wars for.

Why the hell would Thor have given up an absolute beauty like this for Jane!? Not that Jane was plain, per se, but she could not compare to this version of Sif at all. As Sif walked down the street, and the crowds naturally parted before her as people innately realized that she was a being naturally above them in some sense. Even the warriors three were following a step behind her. She was clearly in charge.

I must have been staring at Sif for a while now. I heard my sister laugh next to me. "Hmm, looks like our little Layla is smitten with a certain goddess there." I blushed at her comment as I couldn't deny it. Was I smitten from just looking at her!? Ugh–this was like the first time I met Natasha all over again…

"Have you seen her!" Azazel exclaimed. "Wow! I'd heard stories about Lady Sif, but they clearly weren't exaggerating enough! What I wouldn't give to—oof." Azazel grunted in pain as Penemue slugged him in the gut. I know my brother couldn't help it, but it was pretty rude to talk about another woman with the one you had just spent the previous night with.

[Even if that woman is his sist—]

'Shut it, system!'

It didn't take long for one of the foursome to ask someone in the crowd about Thor, and they pointed out his location. The Warriors Three and Lady Sif locked eyes with our group before proceeding forward. Thor, not remembering he was still currently mortal, decided to run out of the diner to go and meet his friends. 

…He was immediately mobbed by the fan-crazed crowds waiting for him when he left the protective wards set up by Azazel.

"My friends! It's so great to see you all—guaf!" Thor was barely able to get out his greeting before multiple people jumped all over him in excitement. The only thing stopping him from being completely dogpiled was his large physique.

"It's the alien prince!" "WE LOVE YOU, THOR!"

The warriors three burst out laughing at seeing Thor get dogpiled by fans while I noticed Sif seemed indifferent. She then had a frown on her face and I think I heard her curse Loki's name.

We three Fallen Angels, decided to use this opportunity to exit the diner as well while the crowd was momentarily distracted. All three of us deployed black our wings and hovered 10 feet over the crowds of people where they couldn't reach us. There was much disappointed grumbling from below when my fans realized they couldn't dogpile me like they did Thor. That was probably for the best. I don't think I would have responded as kindly to them all as he currently was. 

"Can you PLEASE not carry me like a sack of potatoes?" Jane lamented from under my arm. Oh right—I had grabbed her too since there were quite a few women in the crowd giving her nasty glares throughout our meal. I was holding her like a sack of potatoes and decided to switch to a princess carry.

"Is this better?" I asked slyly, noticing her red face of embarrassment at being in such a position.

"Now that hussy is trying to seduce the beautiful Layla!" "Layla, don't fall for her fake charms!" "She's flat anyway!"

I snickered when Jane started cursing at that last person for calling her flat.

"I'm petite, you son of a bitch!" She screamed out. 

"Well, this is quite a strange situation," Penemue said as we watched Thor finally pull the last fangirl off of himself and run up to his four friends.

"Who is that woman?" Jane asked with some edge in her voice as she noticed Thor greeting Lady Sif with a small hug.

"That's Lady Sif, the goddess of the harvest and fertility." Penemue informed her.

Jane gulped. "Wasn't she supposed to be Thor's wife in the stories?" She asked nervously. It looked like someone was jealous…

I decided to throw her a comfort bone. "Yeah, but those stories were mostly made up by Loki when he was on Earth hundreds of years ago. He just liked to spread lies and cause chaos from them."

"What a dick." Jane proclaimed.

I nodded in agreement. "Thor got him back, though, I'm pretty sure."

"Really? How so?" She asked.

I giggled. "Sleipnir…" Need I say any more?

Jane laughed as well. "So Loki didn't actually shapeshift into a girl and get railed by a horse!?"

Azazel broke out laughing at hearing our conversation. "That story was the absolute best! It was a huge scandal across all of the pantheons when it broke! And what made it even better was that Frost Giants are technically genderless so it was totally possible."

That last bit of information was news to me. "You knew Loki was a Frost giant?"

Azazel gave me a puzzled look in return. "Of course we knew. Everyone knew. It wasn't exactly a secret that the second prince was adopted." What the hell was he talking about? Of course it was! It was one of Asgard's biggest secrets! Before I could ask him more on that, I noticed that the sky above us darkened as the weather rapidly shifted.

Here we go… I was waiting for this.

A loud boom echoed from the sky, and a bright pillar of light descended downwards a few kilometers from the town. I could see the outline of a large figure descending with the light. The Destroyer had arrived.

"Dibs!" I called out to my confused companions. I tossed a disgruntled Jane over to Penemue as I raced off to go and fight the Destroyer!
