I felt like I was in a dream, yet I could see everything clearly in front of me. My mom, my beautiful mom, her life. Who she was, and her whole life story. I wouldn't comprehend some things, it was way too much for my head, I got to know secrets that I was sure to never let anyone know, not for the time being anyway.
Information was being thrown at me and it was becoming unbearable, but I felt a sense of ease anyway, in the midst of all this, I was feeling home. A feeling of reassurance, maybe the fact that I was finally able to know who my mom was and who I really am made it easier for me to take it. I was never expecting what I got to know, but in a way now, it all fell into place and made so much sense. As soon as I snapped out of it, I felt like the tree was a whole again, like something was missing before and now I filled it in some weird way. As soon as I came back, a huge headache struck me and I was just able to see Loki and Thor rushing towards me and I was instantly out as a light.
I wanted to sleep but my brain was working nonstop, not allowing me a bit of rest. But still I didn't feel strong enough to open my eyes, so I laid there, wherever there was and concentrated on my breathing and in trying not to overthink everything that was laid on me.
After some time, I felt like I was strong enough and tried to open my eyes. As soon as I did so, I realised we were no longer in the woods, or anywhere near the tree. The ceilings were a cream beige color and I could hear faint voices near me. I managed to turn my head a little bit to the side and immediately saw, a pair of deep green eyes looking at me, Loki instantly rushed towards me.
"Mia, are you okay?" he said, taking a chair and sitting beside me, I could feel his feelings, he felt concerned and intrigued, his thoughts were also pretty loud. I guess my trip to the tree enhanced and gave me more abilities.
"Loki, please don't think so loudly." I told him bringing my hand to my head, his mouth agape at what I just asked him,
"Can you hear me?" he asked me and when I looked at him I realised he didn't move his lips, so I concentrated and replied,
"Yeah, and you're loud." he laughed a bit, I smiled back, slowly letting go of my head. Soon after Odin, Thor and Frigga entered the room. They all wanted to talk to me, mainly Odin. And after the 'ok' from the head Healer that I could leave the medical wing, I went with Odin to his office, followed by Thor and Loki.
"How long was I out for?" I asked Thor, he looked back at me and thought for a second, a really long second, I was already gone for too long. I hadn't seen Aly in what felt like ages, and Peter let's not even talk about it, so no need to tell you how my heart dropped when Thor finally opened his mouth,
"Two days." he said, and my heart dropped, I was gone way longer back on earth that was for sure. But I guess that had to wait, because now was the part where they would finally know who I am, tho I will take a pretty good guess that Odin knows who I am.
"My child, I think now is time for you to reveal to us who you are." I took a deep breath and looked around, I looked down and closed my eyes,
"I am Mahalia Odysseasdotir, daughter of Odyssea Queen of the 9 realms, also known as the Powerful Queen." I tell them, and even if Loki had his mouth slightly agape, Thor had another look on his face, he was clearly lost,
"Odyssea, I mean Sylvia, my mother, is a Bordotir. That is also why I could feel her perfume and presence in the room I was put in, it was because it was hers." I said pausing for them to be able to understand what I was telling them, of course Odin knew, he just sat on his chair, looking into his feeling I felt like he finally had the proof to what he was thinking all this time,
"But, our father never had a little sister." Thor let out, I looked at him and Loki recomposed himself and straightened himself,
"But he had an older one." he said as if understanding a lot of things,
"How did you know?" His father asked, a bit dumbfounded,
"I usually went to the forbidden part of the library and just read all I could find, but I never questioned it, I thought she had died at birth or during battle, since there is very little information about her." Loki said to his dad then looked back at me,
"My sister Odyssea, was the rightful heir to the throne of Asgard and the 9 realms, she was to become the AllMother, but after a mission back in Midgard she fell in love with the realm and later to a Midgardian, and decided to pass down to me all the titles, all power and everything related to Asgard. Of course when our parents were still there they wouldn't let her come back to visit, she had dishonoured the Great Bor. When they finally died, I went to Midgard to find her and after that she would often come and play with you boys and take care of you. She was my big sister after all." Odin said with sadness in his voice,
"Also, the tree revealed that I will absorb and develop new powers, so that's probably why I got to be able to read minds. My body just copies all the powers that it finds." I said turning towards Loki,
"But wait a second!" Thor said, after a long silence on his part,
"That means you are the rightful heir of Asgard, that means I don't need to be King." I could feel Loki tense, bad habits I guess, I laughed internally, I looked back at Odin,
"Odin if I may, I really don't feel qualified to rule and to be in Asgard forever, half of me after all is Midgardian." Odin nodded understanding,
"Of course child, you have even more power than me so I cannot contradict you in any way." he said, making me sigh in relief, I didn't even realise that my upper part of the body was laying against the wall next to me for support,
"We will make you princess tho, you are a rightful heir of this family." I just nodded, my heart was aching, I should feel so happy right now, but a part of me was still in shock and tired, guess it's the human part sticking out,
After that we continued talking about anything and everything, about how much I missed Midgard and everyone there, I couldn't wait to go back,
"By the way, did you get to know why your powers only appeared when you turned 21 years old?" Loki asked, but I felt like something was clouding his question, as if someone was behind it, I closed my mental barrier because I knew how powerful he was in reading minds, and just shrugged and shook my head,
"Odin, could I ask you something?" I started and walked a bit closer to where he was sitting, he just nodded,
"Of course Mahalia, just be back in a week, a bring your friends to the coronation. I will finally meet the people my sons work with to make the Realms a bit more at peace." he said, knowing my question was to go back to Midgard before the coronation,
"Thank you, thank you so much!" I said to Odin while he stood up and I went to hug him, he hugged me tightly and I could feel all his love for his sister, we pulled away and I thanked him again.
"I will take my things and will go find Heimdall. Anyone wants to join?" I asked looking at the two princes, they looked at each other, shrugged and said in unison,
"Let's go then, shall we?"

After I packed everything that I had brought I decided to take one of the warrior armor, because I feel like in battle it would represent more me and my mom and where she came from. I looked at my room one last time and smelled the smell of my mom once again before leaving, as I closed the door I saw the two princes coming my way.
But before they could do or say anything else, I had us teleported to the BiFrost, laughing when I saw their faces,
"It took me years to be able to do that!" Loki said angry, which just made me laugh more, and Thor just smiled at me and high five me.
I turned towards Heimdall, and he just nodded,
"Princess, I will see you soon." he said while opening the BiFrost and I just smiled at him, being sucked by the beautiful lights and floating all the way back to where home was.
As soon as we touched down, I could see the compound in front of me, I looked behind to see that neither of the guys had been sucked out of the BiFrost and saw that it was still pretty dark outside.
I took out my real phone and checked the time 3 a.m., well then, everyone is in for a brutal wakeup call. Because sneaking on assassins to surprise them is not a good idea, I will just make a lot of noise and hopefully no-one will kill me.
As I saw Loki and Thor make their way inside, I thought that maybe they would be taking their quarters, but no, they just went to the kitchen to eat, those guys I swear. I followed them to take a wooden spoon and a big pan, I went out of the kitchen and made my way towards the corridor where all the doors where aligned.
I just started to make the most noise possible, and I knew I was making a good job when I finally heard some people scream at me to stop, not knowing it was me of course, and I wasn't disappointed when I saw the look on Natasha's face when she finally saw me. Her furrowed eyebrows relaxed and a gigantic smile was plastered on her face,
"OMG MIA!" she said screaming and coming my way, we hugged and I didn't even realise a tear was sliding down my cheek, I just was so happy to be back, then all of a sudden I could hear all the other doors open. We pulled away just for me to be greeted and lifted up the ground by a very metallic arm.
"I can't believe you're here, gosh I- we missed you so much!" said Bucky, his face buried in the crook of my neck, as soon as he put me down, I pulled away a bit,
"I missed you guys too." I tell him, I could see and feel how happy he is, then it was Wanda's turn and after saying hello to everyone, four people were missing.
"Where's Peter?" I asked and they all looked away a bit,
"He's been pretty busy with school and all that stuff, he hasn't been around much since you left, but it was probably because it reminded him too much of you." Wanda said softly brushing her hand up and down my arm, I had a small lump in my throat because I had checked the space phone and I didn't have any missed messages from him, I just nodded and tried to smile,
"And Steve?" I asked and Nat replied instantly, which made me think that I had to ask her about their relationship later,
"He's on a mission, he should be back soon, as Bruce should too." she said and I nodded my head before hearing my name being called,
"Mia?" I heard uncle Nick and turned around, seeing him there with Aly in his arms, he motioned for me to stay where I was, I could see Aly's eyes sparkling to see me there. He then put her down, and she started to walk and wobble her way towards me giving me heart attacks at times thinking she would fall, and eventually I kneeled down and opened my arms and she just engulfed me in her tiny arms, and that's when I lost it. I had missed more than a month of my family and of Aly, I knew that I had to do it, but I wouldn't do it anymore, not if I could avoid it.
I got up with her in my arms and ran towards my uncle, and he engulfed me in the biggest bear hug ever, it felt so good to be back. After my tears dried and I finally was able to compose myself, I turned towards them and said,
"I have so much to tell you all!"
