Chapter: 109
"So what's the plan now?" Andrea asked. "Do we just fire the Biforst now? Or do we check out Asgard first?"
I pondered for a second. The city was full of zombies, but none of them were even close to as strong as Fenrir was and I one shot him. So overall, there wasn't much danger. Whoever or whatever created all the zombies also wasn't currently in the city. This was a golden opportunity. Both figuratively and literally.
"Let's rob the place!" I blurted out.
"W-What!" Sif sputtered out. "Rob the place!?"
"Oh! Nice! That's a great idea! I can plug Jarvis into the archives of Asgard and let him download as much as he can as well." Andrea said before withdrawing a USB looking device from her pocket. It was kind of funny to think that was where she was keeping Jarvis but she refused to separate with him. Everything else of hers that wasn't nailed down in her bunker had been stashed in my inventory.
"You can't just steal from Asgard! Even if it's not our Asgard!" Sif exclaimed with a cute pout. "It's wrong!"
"Everyone's clearly dead though…so…" Andrea trailed off as she gestured to the lifeless city on the horizon.
I was also in agreement. This dimension was kind of fucked. Earth was gone and now so was Asgard. We might as well take what we could before firing the Bifrost and leaving this place forever.
I reached over and cupped Sif's cheek gently. I noticed her shiver slightly at the contact. I leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "Come on, Sif. Do it for me?"
"O-Ok." Sif said with another shiver.
"Alright then!" I smirked. "I'll open a portal to the palace. We shouldnt dawdle though, just in case whatever did all this decides to come back."
…
"Is that Gungnir? It's just sitting there on the floor?" I asked no one as I walked through this dimension's Asgardian throne room.
Something bad had gone down here. The floors and walls were covered in blood strains. There were no corpses to be seen anywhere though. What immediately drew my eye though, was Gungnir casually laying on the bloodstained ground. Someone had slaughtered their way through the palace and left the weapon of Odin himself on the ground as if it was garbage. "Yoink." I said with a laugh as I dumped it into my inventory. Now, Mjolnir had a friend in there as well!
I hadn't even hit the treasury yet and had already scored big.
…
–Andrea Stark–
"OK Jarvis. Here we go." Andre said as she inserted the drive holding his AI into the Asgardian console. Layla had asked Sif to take Andrea to Asgard's archive room.
Sif had commented that the layout of this palace was relatively the same as her own dimension's.
"It will take me a few moments to download all of the data here. Luckily there doesn't seem to be any firewalls whatsoever." Jarvis replied.
Andrea turned towards Sif who was looking around soberly. "So what's your dimension like?" Andrea asked.
Sif sighed. "To be honest, I don't entirely know. I thought I did, but I'm not sure how many of my memories are actually trustworthy. I haven't even stepped outside of the nine realms more than a handful of times in the past thousand years."
Andrea raised her eyebrow at that. Sif was apparently a very sheltered Goddess. "Is there a reason for that? Didn't you go on adventures with Thor?" Andrea asked.
Sif shuffled a bit. I didn't go on as many adventures as people would think. There's a reason we were referred to as the Warrior's three AND the Lady Sif. I spent quite a bit of my time actually with Queen Frigga learning from her on how to rule. Everybody expected Thor and I to be we'd. It was never to be though." Sif said.
Andrea nodded before smiling slyly. "But you're happy with Layla now aren't you? After all, Jarvis told me that he had to stop you two from getting it on last night." Andrea said with a smirk.
Sif blushed. "Yes… I am happy with Layla. Although I am not her only paramour. There is also the new Queen of Asgard Hela and another woman known as Natasha. I have yet to meet her.
"Natasha!?" Andrea exclaimed in shock. "As in the black Widow?"
Sif nodded. "Layla said something along those lines when she mentioned her. She had some longing in her voice. Apparently Natasha has been away on numerous secret missions searching for a Hydra. Tis a noble hunt! Hydra's are fearsome beasts after all!" Sif said.
Andrea didn't correct Sif on the fact that she completely misunderstood what Hydra was. She was too blown away by finding out that Layla had actually hooked up with Natasha Romanoff! "Wow, I guess Layla gets around huh?"
Sif nodded with a sigh. "My love is just too beautiful to resist…"
Andrea laughed. She wasn't wrong. Andrea wasn't into girls but even she could admit the Fallen Angel had her questioning herself when she laid eyes on her.
"Is there anything you want to take with you while we're here?" Andrea asked. "Maybe check out the other Sif's quarters. She could have a spare sword lying around." Andrea suggested.
Sif seemed to ponder that before she sighed. "I suppose I could use a new blade and set of armor. I'm not a fan of having to borrow either. Hopefully her quarters are in the same location as my own were." Sif said.
A few minutes of small talk later Jarvis finished plundering all the technical knowledge of Asgard and the pair headed towards the alternate Sif's room. Luckily, Sif was able to immediately tell by the spare weapons and armor sets adorning the walls that they were in the right place.
Andrea waited outside while Sif changed. After that, they were supposed to meet Layla in the treasury.
…
Is that what I think it is? And it's just sitting out in the open?" I muttered while using [Observe.]
[The Tesseract→An Asgardian relic designed to control and contain the Space Stone.]
Well, there it was. Not even a few steps into Asgard's treasury–which was unlocked by the way–and I'd already majorly scored.
My first infinity stone!
