Chapter 69: Asgard Arrives
Daisy Johnson, who would one day become the Vibe girl Skye, was ultimately not brought to the manor. Instead, she was handed over to a high-level agent named Melinda May for training.
There was no other option; the little girl couldn't even walk yet, and neither Thor nor Peggy had any experience caring for children...
Natasha was different. She had been fourteen when she arrived at the house and was quite mature for her age.
…
Life had returned to its calm routine. As an agent, Natasha often stayed away for several days, but when she did return, she and Thor were inseparable.
Now that Peggy Carter had retired, there was little to do other than occasionally monitor S.H.I.E.L.D's situation and visit Little Skye.
Maya Hansen, despite her fears, continued to experiment with the skeletons and was plagued by nightmares every night...
Hela found Thor to challenge him to fights daily. Each time, he would lose in the first round of their matches and only then engage her in a proper fight after transforming.
Thor's one condition was that she must never touch his hammer!
During this period, Tony Stark called once and yelled at Thor.
Everyone in New York knew about Stark's misadventures, and after much investigation, he finally tracked Thor down...
…
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Peggy Carter opened the door to find a girl in an unusual outfit standing before her.
This girl looked very heroic, dressed in medieval battle armor reminiscent of Wonder Woman, though the style was somewhat...
Thor?
Peggy asked cautiously, "Are you... here to see Thor? Are you from Asgard too?"
With Thor's sister already living in the house, it wasn't entirely out of the question for others from Asgard to visit...
To Peggy's surprise, the girl didn't adhere to expectations and replied with a smile, "Yes, I am... his fiancée."
Peggy Carter: "!!!"
Peggy had long known that Thor had a tendency to attract attention, even Maya Hansen had recently shown some interest. To be honest, she had grown accustomed to it over the years.
But now, a fiancée had arrived at their doorstep!
Uh... Should they prepare for a confrontation? Peggy Carter thought she should be ready...
"What did you say? Are you the uncle's fiancée?"
Natasha, who had been eavesdropping, jumped out and scrutinized the attractive girl.
Sif was momentarily confused. She had intended to assert her position, but now realized her skills were not suited for "court politics"...
Peggy Carter was quite similar to Sif in this regard.
Natasha might be stronger in this aspect, but she was in a good mood and didn't plan to cause any trouble...
…
When Thor returned home in the evening, he was stunned to find Sif blocking the door.
"Thor, it's been a while!" Sif tried to control her excitement and smiled at him.
"Ah... it has been a while!" Thor exclaimed, then gave her a big bear hug. "Why are you here? I've missed you for years and didn't expect you to come!"
Natasha rolled her eyes—Uncle, you've been reluctant to leave for years...
Although Peggy Carter had spent the most time with Thor, it was Natasha who truly understood him.
Miss System isn't human, so her opinion doesn't count!
Even though Thor's words were somewhat insincere, Sif couldn't help but blush and lightly pat him.
Perhaps Thor's previously straightforward manner had made such compliments seem genuine, and despite the embarrassment, Sif still appreciated it...
There was no awkwardness to be seen.
"Hey..."
The Miss System in her mind sighed. This situation wasn't likely to lead to disaster, but there was nothing to be done...
"By the way, how did you come to Earth? Did you defy the king's orders and start a war without permission?"
A frown appeared on Sif's forehead. She thought, Heimdall couldn't give me access to the Bifrost; not everyone is like you.
But she found it difficult to answer. She wasn't entirely sure why she had been sent to Earth...
She certainly couldn't tell Thor that she had accidentally ended up on Earth because she stepped in with her left foot that morning!
