7 A Meeting With Thor

I slowly opened my eyes and stood up. I felt my chest. I felt my whole body. I felt… normal. I felt perfect. I ran about with my arms out wide and a huge smile on my face. I closed my eyes and sang to my heart's content. I leaned back and was hugged by the ground. The sky was falling into the perfect white snow. The ground was soft but slightly cold. I didn't really care. I was free to do what I wanted.

The next time I opened my eyes someone was looking down at me. They were upside down to me, so I turned my body and looked at them. "How may I help you." I say standing up and wiping myself down. The snow fell so lovely. Like sky's dancers. I danced a little bit and twirled. The person just looked confused at me.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing? I don't know how you even got here. This place is for gods and goddesses when their mortal body dies and then we look down and wait before we get another suitor. You don't look like a goddess to me. Also, my name is Thor." I looked baffled at him. "You know the great Thor, god of Thunder."

"I was baffled because I know who Thor is. Also, you would be happy to know we mortals love you so much that we made you a superhero as well as a god in our comics. Marvel, the bigger comic making company did you. DC did Zeus."

"That is amazing, but you still haven't answered my questions. Who are you and how did you get here?" I look down, off the snowy ground which happens to be a cloud not a ground of snow and look at the many houses down below me. I see my school. Then I look back up at Thor with my mouth once again in a huge smile. "Ms, are you going to answer my question." Thor said, taking my hand with one hand. His all famous Mjölnir tight in his strong and worthy hand. I stretch my hand to see if I am worthy of the hammer, but Thor lifts it up out of my reach.

"You won't let me try and pick it up until I say who I am." He nods his head. "Fine." I growl at him. "My name is Atchaco Catrina Cornwall. But to the gods and religions I am known as a different name." I look up at him. "My name is Lady Macanese. I prefer the name Maz or Lady Maz as some people call me. Think Lady is my title which in some ways it is." Then it was his turn to look shocked. "What is something wrong with what I just said? Wait is it the fact that I am the Lady of the Multiverse?" He nods. "Now please may I try the hammer?"

"Oh, sorry." Thor tells me after snapping out of his trance. "I didn't realise it was you Lady Maz but why are you here. I didn't think that you were dead yet. You have a really young body"

"Thor, I didn't want to live. I did bad things. I murdered someone just because they were in my way. I'm a criminal and I don't deserve to be the goddess of the multiverse. I shouldn't even be alive. I should have never become her. I just did though. Why me. I was never a good person. I have always wanted to kill. How can I be a god when all I want to do is kill my dad's killer. When I don't want to help the world the way I should. I want to help myself." Thor sits down beside me and puts his arm over my shoulder and turns to me.

"Lady Maz," he said, leaning closer into me. "You would have been picked for a reason. Him up there. The only person above. Thee god picked you. He must have seen something in you that made him say 'this little girl is a good role model' and picked you to become her."

"I was in an accident. I fell off a cliff. That's how I got my powers. My technology."

"That's what he wants you and everyone else to think. They gave you the technology, but he gave you the powers." I look up at him. "And you don't need Mjölnir to see that you are worthy because somewhere inside your heart, your soul and your brain you already know that you are." He says tapping my chest. I smile and hug him. Surprisingly he doesn't flinch.

"Thank you but it doesn't matter anymore." He looks at me confused. "I killed myself. I tore my heart right out of my chest. So, you've talked me out of something that I've already done."

"I can send you back." I looked at him shocked. "Well if you want to go back. It is how we reincarnate. Transmit souls to another body. But you are the goddess of the multiverse so you can transmit yourself back in this body. They are trying to save your life right now so you have to go know or you can't go back at all."

"I don't know if I want to even go back. I like it here. It's safe and welcoming. I like being with you." He sighs and stands up. His red cape flaps in the wind. His long hair is amazing and soft.

"Lady Maz you need to go back. I can feel it. The world needs you back. So, go. Help them. Let them know that they aren't alone anymore. That they never will be again. Now that you are there. Go, please help them." I go and stand beside him and shake my head. "They need you. You have to go even if you really don't want to."

"Why is this happening." I said grabbing his arm and making him face me.

"I can feel something. You should feel it stronger." He closes his eyes and concentrates on something. He signals for me to do the same thing. As soon as I concentrate on the words 'world threat' the letters 'AHE' fill my vision followed by what looks like our earth but it is hard to tell. Once it finishes, I fall backwards and look up at Thor.

"Strong isn't it. One of the disadvantages of being a god. Especially if you are the head god or you." He points at me and smiles. "So, what did you see? It looked like something really bad."

"World domination. Everything being destroyed and one man standing on top of it all."

"From your reaction I would say that you would know him." I look up at him scared. "You do, don't you. Who is it?"

"His name is Andrew Einstein." I look up at him with a concerned look. "The son of my dad's killer. The reason I am a god. The same guy that caused everything that has happened. The same guy I want to kill. Take everything from." I put my hands into fists and punch something which ends up being Thor, who looks unaffected by the punch. "Opps, sorry."

"Hey it's okay. Didn't really affect me. Also, I think you get your wish." He bends down in front of me. "I think killing him is the only answer to saving the world." I smile at him. "Go and fill your purpose, Lady Maz." I smile at him and run over to the edge. I am about to jump when I walk away from the edge. To many bad memories. "Do you want me to throw you off the edge." I nod at him and he picks me up by the armpits. I stare at him. He swings me backwards then forwards before he lets me go.

I feel the wind against my face. It is harsh and yet soothing. I put my arms in front of me and use it to guide me back to my body. I see the room I am in and stop and look through the window. I am lying motionless on a bed. I am brain-dead. I shouldn't be coming back. I should be dead. I shouldn't do this. I see my family weeping at my bedside. Wanting me to come back. Wanting me to be alive. They believe that I am alive. I can just tell it. I see a man sitting on a chair beside my bed holding my hand while he speaks to my family. I can't see who it is, and I don't like it. I don't want an unknown person touching me.

I flow forward towards them and through the window with ease. I feel their presence in the room and by the look on their faces they feel mine. I look at the man touching me. He has long white hair to match the foot-long beard. I recognise him. He is a soul keeper. He is helping them. Trying to get me back before I really do die. Before I walk into the light.

I look at my near-death body and sigh. It has to be done. I need to save the world, and this is the only way to do it. I flow towards it and sit on the bed. I try to stroke my hand with mine, but it just goes through. The hand jolts up as soon as I touch it, and everyone jumps for relief.

"Her soul." The man said. "It's there. She is sitting in this room. She's returning. She's going home." Jemina walks over to my body and bends down and places her head on me. The man closes his eyes. "Atchaco are you ready. You can come home. We're all ready." He whispers. I hesitate. I don't know if I do want to go home. I want to go back Thor. I like it up there. I can trust him. "We want you to return to your source. They all love you. You can trust us and if you can't you can trust me." I nod not that anyone could see me.

"I'm ready."
