[Mimir POV]

He had finally come.

Like that man had said he would.

Alex and Thor had come together.

"Well done Mimir,"

"I did what you told me to do," I replied, as the man that had been visiting me for the last few years entered my humble abode.

"The joke about your body being in the dry cleaning, hmm, chef's kiss," The man replied, laughing.

"That was your joke, you told me to say it," I replied, wondering once again, how someone so powerful could be so childish at the same time.

"I know, that's why it was a perfect joke," The man chuckled, moving his hand a bit, manifesting a can of coke to it, "Want one?" He offered.

I looked at him, and replied, "Unless you pour the drink into my mouth, I don't think so," without a body, things were difficult, the only good side of all of this was the knowledge it all brought to me, knowledge that seemed to be useless when it came to this man, I knew everything, about everyone, except him, or Alex.

"Why didn't you say so?" The man smiled, snapping his fingers, and just like that, in the blink of an eye, I found myself with a body.

It all happened so fast, I couldn't even register what he did. One moment my head was laying on the ground, and the next, I was standing, looking at him in disbelief, "Just who are you?" I dared to ask.

"A man, doing man things," The man shrugged, tossing me a can of coke.

I grabbed the can mid air, and laughed, how could I not? I had hands… I could feel things once again, it was all so… unbelievable, "I caught it," I muttered, looking at the can in awe.

"Now, drink it," The man smiled, taking a sip of his drink.

I chuckled, before realizing this would not last, nothing good was ever meant to be, at least not for me, "When will this body go away?"

"Well, that was a more depressing answer I was prepared for…" The man sighed, scratching the back of his head.

"Nothing ever comes for free," I replied, I was a living example of such.

"Well, that's true," The man nodded, index fingers pressed upon his lips, "Buttt, you already paid the price, I guess… I mean, I wanted you to guide Alex, and you did, so… body as a reward."

A simple vision, and he had given me back everything I lost? "I see." No matter how much I wanted to believe it, it all felt unreal.

"You are underselling your helping hand," The man chuckled, almost as if reading my thoughts, "I am reading them," he added with a snicker, "The point is, giving you a body, or a coke, is technically the same for me, I make the same effort for both things… the perks of being omnipotent and shit, so don't worry, do try to pretend you are a head when the boy comes back though, don't want him to question things too much."

I nodded, I might not understand him, or why he does what he does, but, I would not turn this down, after all, if I am to be trapped in the well of knowledge, I might as well have a body, "Do you think he will succeed on the roots?" I asked.

"Without a doubt," The man replied, his voice sounding almost… proud, I wonder why?

"I am proud," The man confirmed.

Right, he can read my mind, "I see, but why?"

"I don't know, read my mind," The man winked.

"I can't," I sighed, he knew the answer to that.

"That sounds like a you problem," The man chuckled.

"I suppose it is," I nodded, opening my can of coke to drink, my first drink in a few millennia. I wonder how it tastes, I mean, I know how it tastes thanks to my infinite knowledge, but knowing something in theory and in practice are two different things.

[Emily Walker POV]

Daddy was once again busy on an important mission.

So it was up to me! To make sure his return was one full of love and warmth!

Which is why I was currently on my way to the kitchen to start baking some cookies, the pre daddy arrival cookies, I had, after all, to try them before daddy arrived.

Why?

Well, I had to select the best ones for him.

And for that I had to test a few recipes I had found in a book.

A few hundred recipes!

My determination knew no limits!

There was no cookie frontier I would not cross!

I would conquer that cookie mountain! And deliver daddy the best cookies he has ever eaten!

For I was his daughter!

So was Nat, but I loved daddy more.

The point is, I will ensure daddy is happy with my cookies! No matter what!

"Time to make some cookies!" I declared, kicking the doors of the kitchen open wide, to find a girl around my age, with mousy brown hair and vibrant fire-red eyes already using the asgardian royal kitchen.

"What kind of cookies?" The girl asked.

I blinked, "Well, every kind?" I replied with a chuckle.

"That's a lot of cookies," The girl giggled, "Are they for someone special?"

"Yes," I nodded, after all, daddy was the most special person in the whole universe!

"I see, I see, then the cookies are a must," The girl nodded, clapping her hands together, "I know, how about I help you? I have been told I make some delicious cookies."

I hummed before asking, "By how many people?" I mean, I had to be sure she knew what she was doing, daddy deserved only the absolute best!

"More than ten," The girl offered.

More than 10?! That's a lot of people! "Ok, you are in!"

"Yeih!" The girl smiled, beaming at me.

"So what's your name?" I asked, approaching my new friend, a friend forged through the power of cookies.
