As the William family relaxed and enjoyed their time together, an unexpected occurrence happened. A Bifrost suddenly appeared nearby, a radiant gateway to Asgard. Ben, his eyes lighting up with a mix of surprise and anticipation, couldn't believe his eyes.
"Sif," he whispered, it was the name of his wife, who promised him she would return to him from Asgard, but till now, she didn't come.
He wanted to reunite with her, and seeing his gaze, his wives exchanged knowing glances.
"I want to go to Asgard," Ben asked, looking at his wives.
"You go, Ben. I'll take care of our upcoming child," Mariam, knowing his husband's wish, nodded with understanding.
Amelia, embracing the responsibility, stated, "Take care of yourself, and know that we'll take care of each other in your absence, and I'll take care of our child. We'll be strong, Ben."
Jean, with maternal determination, asserted, "I'll take care of the baby, Ben. May your journey be filled with love and reunion. Go and return safely, Ben."
As the excitement filled inside Ben, his son Ethan and daughter Maria, ever eager for adventure, chimed in simultaneously, "We want to go with you, Dad."
Their innocent enthusiasm added a touch of lightheartedness. Ben, with a loving smile, replied, "Of course, my little warriors. But remember, we'll take care of each other. You both will be my responsibility."
Soon, Ben with Ethan and Maria flew towards where the Bifrost just opened a few seconds ago. He reached there and found that Thor was present there, and in front of him, was Jane Foster.
She suddenly slapped Thor in the face, demanding to know why he had taken four years to visit her on Earth, especially considering the events of the Battle of New York.
"I don't want to keep you in trouble, but I am wrong, I forget, I need to take care of you," Thor, showing remorse, quickly apologized and was forgiven by Jane as they were going to kiss each other.
"Hey, isn't it a little too cliché to dance in the rain like this?" Ben teased Thor and interrupted their kiss.
Thor and Jane were surprised by the interruption during their time together. However, as soon as Thor saw who it was, he became excited.
"Ben! How are you? What are you doing here?" He asked eagerly.
"Well, I came to play with my kids, Ethan and Maria. Then I saw the Bifrost light around here, so I decided to check it out," Ben said casually, pointing toward his son Ethan and his daughter.
He then teased Thor about Jane, making the couple a bit flustered. Just as the police arrived and asked what had happened, an explosion threw the police back.
Ben, Thor, and Ben's kids weren't thrown away, as they were strong enough to withstand the impact. However, as they saw the source of the explosion, Thor was surprised to see that Jane was starting to float.
"Now, you better take care of your girlfriend," Ben teased Thor, as he saw Jean floating.
Thor immediately walked toward Jane with Mjolnir in his hand. "Jane, give me your hand! I will take you back to Asgard to cure you," Thor said as he tried to calm Jane down.
Jane reached out for Thor's hand, but as she got close enough, a bunch of red particles came out of her hands and sent Thor flying due to the explosion of the red particles. Jane flew toward Ben quickly.
"Ben, look out!" Thor shouted. Ben used his Diamond Head powers, and, since diamond is tough, all the red particles of the Aether returned to her, instantly knocking her out.
Thor immediately flew to Ben to thank him for stopping Jane.
"Thank you very much, my friend! I will take her to Asgard immediately so that she can be cured of her ailment," Thor said in relief.
"Thor, I want to ask one question. Why has Sif not come out to meet me until now?" Ben asked, addressing the more important questions. Four years ago, after Sif left him to ask the permission of Allfather Odin, she didn't return.
"Well, how should I answer that?" Thor hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say, but eventually decided to show him, "Why don't you come with me to find out the situation?" He ultimately decided to bring Jane, Ben, and their children, Ethan and Maria, back to Asgard.
Ben noticed the curiosity of Ethan and Maria, and he agreed to it. "Heimdall, open the Bifrost," Thor shouted, a minute later, a beam of light shot down from the sky once again, and the five of them were transported to Asgard.
Only Jane's intern was left on the scene. Darcy Lewis stared at the sky where the light came with envy. She also wanted to go, but she knew that none of the superheroes earlier would want to bring her.
On Asgard, Thor, Jane, Ben, Ethan and Maria come inside the hall where Bifrost and Heimdall are.
"Welcome to Asgard!" Heimdall said with a serious face, then looked towards Ben, clearly surprised. "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Well, you can see every place in all nine realms, but just like when Jane disappeared, and you didn't know where she went, think of me like that," Ben chuckled as he, with his children, followed Thor.
For the first time, Ben witnessed the glory of Asgard. He saw many beautiful ladies walking about in the distance, and the buildings were all adorned with gold and painted in white, radiating grandeur.
Thor didn't take Ben for sightseeing; he led him directly to the palace, where he ordered some guards to bring medics and took Jane into the sickbay. Asgard had many excellent witches who had mastered healing spells and possessed a modern understanding of the human body. Thor's mother was one of them.
"What is happening to Jane?" Thor asked the witches who were examining her, he cared about her.
"We don't know yet. The energy coming from her body is totally different than what a Midgardian should possess," the witch said solemnly.
As Thor was about to ask another question, a stern voice interrupted him. "Did you not heed my word? Why are you still doing whatever you want like this?" Odin said as he entered the sickbay.
"She was sick, father! She needs my help!" Thor said confidently.
"She is mortal! She is sick! But nonetheless, she is not welcome in Asgard. Bring her to Midgard immediately!" Odin said rudely.
"No, father, Midgard has no solution to her problem," Thor said, he didn't want to send Jean to Midgard now.
"This is not our problem, Midgard people have their own problems, we don't care about them," Odin shouted, as he was going to send back Jean to Midgard.
"I am sorry, but I've always thought that Odin was a wise and calculative god. But my first impression is not that good. All I saw just now was arrogance," Ben said casually.
Odin never expected to hear such words from a Midgardian and grew furious. Thor was equally surprised because he had never seen anyone go against his father like this before, at least not besides him and Loki.
As Odin was about to confront the one who had taunted him, he noticed Ben, and his expression changed from anger to confusion, then gentleness. "Why didn't you tell me you brought Ben?" Odin asked Thor angrily. "You are welcome here, Ben."
"So, Ben, just for you, Jane will stay here to be cured," Odin changed his decision. He also noticed that some guards had approached Jane, but a wall of red particles was created as the Aether inside Jane's body recognized them as a threat.
"Stop, retreat!" Odin ordered the guards as he recognized the red particles that had attacked them.
"This is impossible!" He said as his expression became more serious.
"The energy inside her body was trying to protect her!" The witch who had diagnosed Jane earlier said in fascination.
"No, it was trying to protect itself," Odin said with a knowing look on his face. Then he turned towards a maid.
"Prepare a grand welcome for my son-in-law," he shouted, and everyone started preparing a big buffet, even though they didn't quite understand what had just happened.
In the grand hall of Asgard, a lavish feast was in full swing.
Odin, the Allfather, stood at the head of the table, his regal presence commanding the room. By his side was Frigga, the queen, radiating warmth and grace, and in her arms, she held a two-year-old child, the newest member of the royal family.
Ben Tennyson, a guest from another world, stood beside Odin with his children, Ethan and Maria. Ethan looked around the grandeur of Asgard in awe, while Maria was filled with a sense of wonder. Sif, the fierce and loyal warrior, stood nearby, her usually confident demeanor giving way to a hint of shyness.
As the festivities continued, a familiar face appeared in the crowd. Loki, the mischievous god of mischief, had been released from his confinement and was observing the gathering with a curious expression, uncertain of how he would be received.
It just happened, when Loki was thrown in the prison, after attacking Midgard. But Frigga started crying for her release, and she pleaded many times to Odin.
Odin was strict, but when Sigurd was born, his strictness started turning gentle, and on the birthday of Sigurd, he succumbed to his wife's demands. Then Loki was released from the prison, but he was still in trial period, if he made any single mistake, he would again be thrown back in prison.
