When searching across the galaxy for Infinity Stones, Thor had not expected this much pain.

First, Jane had broken up with him. According to her, his lack of presence in her life had taken a toll on their relationship, and they had broken it off. It was mutual of course.

Mostly.

Added to that, the rest of the realms were in utter chaos. Disorder and disarray was present everywhere, yet his father Odin seemed to not care very much about it which caused Thor to have to do most of the heavy lifting and defend the planets that were unable to protect themselves from invaders.

Exhausting.

After all of that, his mission had still been fruitless. He had found nothing of importance and was beginning to lose hope. That was until he caught a break on his last planet. He had paid for it with a large gash that ran from one shoulder to his hip, but he got the information he needed and escaped as soon as possible to this new planet of Anahita.

It was a small planet, not known for much other than its rich resources. The strange thing about it was that it was a planet occupied mostly of water, so Thor shouldn’t have been surprised when he landed in some as he crashed into the planet.

His chest was still aching as he spun around, trying to untangle himself from the various underwater plants that he had landed in, but he found they had a tight grip. He fought for a few moments before reaching out his fingers, calling his hammer to help him as the urge to breathe became stronger. Before it could though, he felt a small hand grasp his wrist and pull. Unfortunately, the hammer that found its way to his palm was stronger and ended up dragging the both of you up and out of the water.

Thor heard a sharp gasp as the hand holding onto him tightened its grip while you both flew through the air and onto a piece of dry land. A trail sand followed behind the two of you before you both landed with a thump. “What in the name of Amphitrite -”

At the quiet, very feminine, voice, Thor turned his head. Laying there next to him was, in fact, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Thor had traveled to many lands and seen many people in his lifetime, but none had ever matched what he saw before him. Your hair flowed over your shoulders in gentle waves, your skin glossy and wet from the water the two of you had tumbled out of, your eyes enchanting and as deep as the water you had just left. Your eyes were filled with questions, as if you had never seen anything like him before. He watched, unable to speak as your delicate hand reached out to touch his chest, sending a sharp pain through his already pounding heart.

“What happened to you?” You gasped, staring at the injury that Thor had already forgotten in the presence of this ethereal woman. Your voice was soft and had a musical quality to it that had Thor’s tense muscles relaxing.

He looked down at the gash, noticing that it was now in fact turning a little black around the edges before focusing on you again, giving you a big grin. “Got in a bit of a fight. I won though.”

His words were rewarded with a smile, and however brief it was, Thor felt pride surge in his chest at the fact that he was the cause of it. “I’m sure it was very impressive, as is the poison now making its way through your body.”

“Poison you say?” Thor repeated, looking down at his injury again. “Seems about right.” As he looked, something else caught his eye, and he focused in on the large tail, swaying back and forth beside him. It was a beautiful mixture of blue and green, starting out gray at the bottom and slowly darkening until it reached your waist. “You’re a -” He didn’t know what to call you. He had never seen anything like it before, an alluring woman attached to the bottom of a fish. The poison was also hindering his ability to think as well, and his head fell back onto the sand, pounding hard. “Wow, this works fast,” he said with a chuckle.

Your soft smile calmed his soreness for a brief moment as your gentle touch brushed against his skin. “It does indeed. Thankfully, you happen to be in the presence of an accomplished herbalist.”

“I am a lucky man indeed,” Thor replied, his own smile pained. “May I ask the name of my savior?”

“Y/N,” You replied.

“Y/N,” he let the name roll off his lips. It was perfect. “Beautiful,” he managed to add before his world became dark.

When Thor came to, the first thing he noticed was the numbness in his fingertips and toes. That feeling crept up his arms and legs, only to stop at his chest. It was still stinging somewhat, but he could feel his powers trying to heal him along with some other cold substance on his chest. When he was able to open his eyes, he found himself staring up at a rock ceiling. It took just a moment for his memories to come back to him, and he looked back down at the injury on his chest to find himself covered with a large leaf. He made a move to take it off, but a tinkling voice stopped him.

“I wouldn’t do that yet,” his eyes shot over to you. You were as gorgeous as he remembered except now, instead of the large tail, you were clothed in a flowy, loose white dress, feet bare as you padded towards him. “Your wounds still need time, although they are recovering at a remarkable rate.”

His eyebrows knit together as you came closer, his mind wondering how much the poison had affected his memory. “But, you were a -”

“Mermaid?” You gave him a low laugh as you sat down beside him. “I am, but I can choose to walk for short periods of time if I so desire.” You tucked your long legs to the side and placed your small hand inside of his own. “May I?” You asked, holding up his arm.

“Far be it from me to refuse help from a beautiful creature such as yourself.” Thor replied.

He watched as a faint blush graced your cheeks, but you remained focused on his arm. Thor shuddered as your fingers traveled, each touch leaving a trail of heat in its wake. “It seems my medical attention is getting a little help.” You placed his arm back on the sand and turned your attention to him once more. “Who are you? And how did you find yourself in Anahita?”

“I am Thor, son of Odin, and I’ve been searching the galaxy for Infinity Stones.” Thor told her, seeing no reason to lie.

“Odin? Of Asgard? You are his son?” You asked him, you eyes widening somewhat.

“Indeed,” Thor took your hand back into his and brought it to his lips, brushing your skin with the gentlest of touches. “And I am in your debt.”

You shook your head back and forth, your lips turning up in a smile. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re quite the charmer, son of Odin?”

“None so beautiful as you.” Thor replied with a squeeze of your hand.

You stared into his eyes for a few moments, and Thor felt the whole world fade away. How could he focus on anything when you were looking at him like that? Not even the pain in his chest could compete with the adrenaline he felt when looking into your eyes. “Well, Thor, I must inform you I do not know of these Infinity Stones that you speak of.”

Thor let out a disappointed sigh. “Yes, that seems to be the general response I’ve been getting.”

There was silence between the two of you, and during that, Thor realized the fact that the Infinity Stones were not here meant that he had no reason to stay. There was nothing keeping him on this planet and with this amazing woman. The thought that he would have to leave you before he had even truly gotten to know you caused a whole different ache in his chest.

“That doesn’t mean they’re not here.” You spoke up.

He squeezed your hand, encouraging you to speak.

“My family . . . much like yours, are the rulers of this planet, but I’m the youngest daughter,” You placed your other hand on top of his, applying the softest pressure. “They do not tell me everything. They could very well be hidden here somewhere, and I would have no idea. There are so many vast places I’ve yet to explore . . .”

“They are protective of you.” He said, and at the sight of you, he could see why. If he ever had a child as beautiful as you, he would be terrified at the terrors that might befall her if someone ever got his hands on her.

“Some would say too much so.” You answered, nodding your head. “There are so many things here, Thor. It would be impossible for me to know. What do you need these stones for?”

“I’ve been having visions of the downfall of Asgard. Those stones have something to do with it.” Thor answered you.

His words shocked you, and you squeezed his hand tighter. “The downfall of Asgard? That would cause chaos across the nine realms.” You said, your eyes drifting away from him in thought.

“Exactly, so you see how important it is that I find them.” He said.

“Then I must insist you stay.” When you looked at him again, there was a bit of a goofy smile on his face at your words that caused your cheeks to heat up once more. “I mean, you must have time to search the planet . . . Not to mention you’re not well enough to travel.” You explained, your words coming out rushed.

“You seem to know more about my injuries than I do, as well as your planet, so I will yield to your judgement.” Thor replied.

You started to say something, but a loud horn cut the two of you off. Your head turned to the sea at the front of the cave, and when you looked back at Thor, there was a panicked look to your features. “I must go, and you must stay here.”

Thor watched as you stripped out of your dress in front of him without a second thought. Had you been nude when he had seen you earlier? He had been so enraptured by your face, he hadn’t even noticed. Your moves were graceful as you ran to the water and dove into it with one fluid motion. Thor scrambled over to the water, ignoring how much it hurt, and holding the leaf to his chest. First he saw your tail, splashing above the sea, and then you were facing him again, face and hair once again shining with water. “You are indeed the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” Thor said in total awe.

You reached out and grabbed his hands as if to get his attention, little did you know that you already had every speck of it. “Thor, my people are afraid of strangers. I’m afraid if anyone else sees you, you’ll be met with not only suspicion, but hostility. No one travels to this part of the land except me. You’ll be safe here.”

“You’ll be back?” Thor questioned, his thumb brushing across the wet skin of your knuckles.

You nodded, “after nightfall, but right now there’s a dinner I must attend. You should try and get more rest. It will help with your wound. When I get back, we can search for your stones, and maybe . . . you can tell me more about Asgard?”

He kissed your hand once more. “I will tell you anything you wish to know.”

Your answering smile dazzled him all over again.

‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ

Thor knew he should leave. It had been over two weeks now, and much like every other planet he had been to, there was no sign of the stones anywhere. There was nothing keeping him here. Nothing except Y/N.

At first, he would admit, he had been enraptured by your beauty. Everything about your appearance was alluring and enchanting from the waves of your hair to your tail that shimmered in the water. The more you helped him though, the more he was finding that he was amazed by.

Not only were you beautiful, but you were so intelligent. You took him to many different places on your planet, that much like Loki, you had found through portals. At every single one of them, you were able to name every single plant that the two of you might come across and its properties. You healed his poisoned chest where not so much as a scratch remained and showed him how. You told him all about your planet and how it was known for its plants having healing properties.

“If Anahita is filled with such resources, why then do you not share them with the realms?” Thor asked you one day. He was sitting at the edge of an embankment while you floated in front of him, your tail splashing in and out of the water every few moments.

It took you a moment to respond, your fingers absentmindedly making circles in the water as you tried to find the right words. “We did once.” Thor watched in awe as figures formed in the water between them, puppets of Y/N’s fingers. “It was many, many years ago. Way before I was even a thought in my parents’ heads. We shared with various planets our healing practices, we taught them, gave them supplies . . .” The figures acted out what you said, passing baskets to different types of creatures and ships. “But then . . . they became unsatisfied.” At your words, the figures began attacking each other. Thor saw various species attacking your people with spears and swords, capturing your people in boxes while they screamed, stealing things from their planet. “We’re very strong, Thor, we can hypnotize men with a song, manipulate the tides, send people to their knees with a scream, and live as long as centuries without aging a day. Other species wanted to mate with us to see what could become of it, whether we wanted that or not.”

It was one of the worst stories that Thor had ever heard, but he was not surprised. In his lifetime, he had discovered that while most people considered it a human trait, fear of something more powerful than yourself went across all realms. “I am sorry that your people have had to endure that.” Thor told you, his hand reaching across the water for yours.

You took it without hesitation. “I am too, but it was so long ago. It’s a distant memory for most, but for some . . . That’s why I was worried about someone finding you.” Your fingers showed an army of Merpeople, fighting back invaders violently with multiple weapons. “We fought them, but the fear still remains. You’re the first visitor on this island in decades. The ones that have been here before . . .” Thor’s grip on your hand tightened as he watched various creatures get murdered before his eyes. “I didn’t want that to happen to you. You seemed . . . good.” You told him with a tender smile.

“And your opinion now?” He asked, eager for your answer.

Your fingers entwined with his, and you pulled yourself out of the water, bare and wet as your tail turned back into feet. Thor held his cape out for you which you draped around your shoulders. Your nudity never seemed to bother you, but Thor always liked to give you the option in case you wanted some modesty. As you settled beside him, your free hand cupped his cheek. “It is the same, and I will be sorry to see you go.” You told him, biting down on your supple bottom lip.

Thor hadn’t wanted to talk about this. He hoped that if they avoided the subject long enough, it would never come to pass, but here they were. For so long he had been focused on doing things for other people, but being here with you? He was able to push the obligation he had to Asgard to the back of his mind, and as selfish as that might be, it felt good. A large part of that was thanks to you. With you, he hadn’t been, Thor, Son of Odin and Prince of Asgard. He had just been Thor, a visitor on your planet. He wanted to take that Thor with him, but without you? He didn’t think it was possible. Unless . . . “Is it too much to hope that you would consider coming with me?”

His words had startled you, that was for sure. You eyes widened in disbelief and your hand dropped from his cheek. Immediately he missed the warmth of it. “Thor . . . what you’re suggesting . . . it would be insanity.”

“Why?” Thor turned the top half of his body to face you, one of his hands coming to rest on your knee. “You hate it here. You’ve told me as much. You feel as if you’re in a cage, and there’s so much more out there to explore. I could show you that.”

You laughed, but there was no humor in it, no, it was more a sound of shock. “As beautiful as that sounds, I think you’re forgetting the small fact that I am not Asgardian or Midgardian.”

“There are several bodies of water on Asgard. You can stay in any of them. You would love it. It’s the most beautiful place in the entire realm, and you could stay with me.” Thor spoke, his hand squeezing your knee.

“But my family, Thor . . .” You protested.

“We could visit any time that you wanted to. All it would take is a visit to Heimdall.” Thor promised.

His words did give you pause. He watched you, his heart aching in his chest as he waited for your response. “You make it sound so easy.” You said, looking back at him.

“Why can’t it be? I’m not ready to leave you yet, Y/N.” Thor said. It was almost unconscious, the way you both moved closer to each other with his words.

“You’ve known me for such a short time.” You replied, your words breathless as you stared into his eyes.

“And I’ve fallen for you more and more everyday. Are you saying you do not feel the same?” He asked.

It took you a moment to respond, but when you did, a faint sigh escaped your lips and you rested your forehead against his, eyes fluttering shut. “I do, but most people would call that insanity. After all, we barely know each other.”

“I know enough,” Thor said before he closed the distance between the two of you, his lips parted as his mouth brushed yours.

It was almost as if he was calling thunder to him. His whole body from the top of his head to the tips of his toes filled with a fire akin to lightning at the sensation of your lips pressed against his. From the gasp that he heard leave your lips, you were feeling the same. His hand gripped your knee tighter, his other arm slipping around your back to grip your bare skin and tug you closer. Your body was soft and warm to his touch, pushing yourself closer to him at the urging of his hands, one of your arms reaching up to slip around his neck and rest on his shoulder. Your lips moved with his in a fluid motion, parting as soon as you felt his tongue to deepen the kiss. A delicate moan left your lips at the sensation, and your arm tugged him impossibly closer.

The seconds seemed to turn to hours as the two of you continued to explore each other, hands memorizing bodies, followed by lips. It was only when the sun was rising that the two of you rested by each other’s sides. Your fingers traced over his chest in soothing circles that had Thor closing his eyes and relaxing into the sand. The way you touched him with such gentle fingers had shivers exploding over his arms. “We need to go before they’ve noticed my disappearance.” You whispered, though made no move to get up.

“Just a moment longer,” Thor requested, his hand making a lazy trail up and down your side.

You propped yourself up on your elbow so you could look into his eyes, an adoring look in them. “I’m getting the feeling that you enjoy putting yourself in dangerous situations, Thor Odinson.”

“Well, I do tend to find them more entertaining,” Thor replied with a mischievous grin, moving closer to met you in another kiss. Before he could, he felt a sharp pain shot through his neck, causing him to fall back with a grunt.

“Thor?!” Your voice was panicked as you leaned over him, worry in your eyes. It was the strangest sensation, his body losing all feeling as you pulled something out of his neck. There was a large splash and while he couldn’t look out at the ocean, you could, and he watched your eyes widen at what you saw there. “Sister . . .” You gasped in shock.

And thus, once again, Thor’s world went black.

‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ

When he woke up the next time, the first thing he heard was your voice, and for a brief second he thought the whole last few moments might have been a dream. The aching in his body told him otherwise, along with your words.

“You have to believe me! He’s not dangerous! He’s just trying to save his kingdom!”

“You’re so stupid. And how do you think he’s going to save his kingdom? Anahita is filled with resources he could use to save it, and then he’ll come back and take us over! Have you not paid attention to the stories?” A voice argued with you.

“He’s not like that! He’s been here for weeks now, and he’s never -”

“Weeks?!” There was silence and Thor managed to open his eyes to find himself in a makeshift cage, bars surrounding him. At first he had thought the substance he had been injected with was what had been keeping him feeling so sore, but as he looked around, he noticed that wasn’t the case. He was tied down with rocks, rocks so heavy even he couldn’t hope to lift them. “You have betrayed your family, and your kingdom.” Thor turned his head to find you cowering before his cage, a strong woman standing before you with nothing but disapproval on her face. “We’re ashamed to call you one of us.”

“Sister, you have to listen -”

There was a loud smack, and Thor watched as you fell to the side, cradling your cheek with your hand. The sight of red and the pain in your hunched figure had Thor furious. “Do not touch her!” He tried to get up, used every bit of his strength to push the rocks off of him, but they would not budge.

Your sister approached the cage, her fingernails tapping the bars as she stared Thor down. There were definite similarities in your features. She was beautiful as well, but while your beauty was pure and soft, hers had a more . . . sinister quality to it, her light blue eyes icy as she stared Thor down. “Your power is no good here Asgardian. After the War, we had to make preparations in case your type ever tried to invade again. Looks like they’re doing well.”

Thor didn’t care, all he cared about was getting to you. “If you touch her again -”

She laughed, shaking her head as Thor continued to struggle. “You are a stubborn one, aren’t you? If you weren’t able to be hypnotized, I’d believe my sister had you under a spell.”

Thor struggled harder, his eyes locked on you as you turned to face him, gripping the bars of the cage tight.

“I’m sorry,” you mouthed to him, tears streaming down your reddened face.

“You know if she’d sent you on your way as soon as you got here, hypnotized you into leaving, you’d be fine, and we never would have bothered you again.” Your sister told him.

“Somehow I doubt that,” Thor grunted.

She laughed, the menacing sound sending shivers down Thor’s spine. “Oh, he’s a smart one, Y/N. I can see why you like him. All those bulging muscles and golden braids, then a brain on top of it. Easy to give into temptation like that isn’t it?”

“Let him go, please, he won’t tell anyone, I swear to it.” You pleaded for his sake, not taking your eyes off of Thor as you did.

But she ignored you. “When the Tide rolls in, you will sink. None of your magic, not even your little hammer can save you. You will drown, and then tomorrow, I will bring your body to my family for all to see, especially you.” She said, turning to you. “I’m going to take you back to the palace, and lock you in your room so you can spend all day thinking about what is happening to your precious Asgardian.”

“Let me stay with him please. I don’t care what you do to me, just don’t kill him!” You cried.

“Don’t worry, Y/N. I will get out of this.” He couldn’t stand to see the despair on your face. “Somehow,” he added.

“Thor -” You started to say something, but before you could, your sister gripped your hair tight, dragging you away from him, your sobs echoing throughout the cave walls until there was nothing but silence and the sound of the water splashing the rocks around him.

Now, all he had to do was figure out how to get out of here and back to you before he drowned. Shouldn’t be too difficult.

‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ‎ϟ

After hours and hours of struggling, Thor knew he was running out of time. He could feel the water from the tides lapping at his back but the ropes and rocks still gave him no pull. He had tried to call Mjolnir, and as your sister had pointed out, it did no good. It seemed all of his powers had been dampened in the cave. He had even tried calling out to Heimdall, but nothing had happened. He knew there had to be something he hadn’t thought of yet, but he was struggling to concentrate with the rising sound of the water.

Until another noise caught his attention.

A splash, out of place from all the others that he had been hearing for the past few hours. Assuming it was your sister coming to watch his demise, he called out. “Let me out of here, Siren! Or you will wish you had!”

His words were met with silence until another loud splash sounded, this time right beside his ear. He turned his head in a quick movement just in time to see a glimpse of a blue and green tail. He didn’t have to wait long before he saw your face, eyes still red from the tears you shed over him. “It would be my pleasure to let you out of here.”

“Y/N!” He wished he could touch you, reach out and hold you close to him. “How did you escape?”

Thor watched in amazement as you began pulling rocks that he had been unable to off of him. “My sister, while cruel, is not smart. I’ve been sneaking out of my room for years now. She won’t even know that I’m gone.” Finally, she was able to take off enough of the rocks so that Thor could start helping her. “Thor, I’m so sorry. I should have been paying more attention -”

“This is not your fault, Y/N.” Thor told her as they were able to start untying the ropes.

“Yes it is, and now you have to leave, and we’ll never see each other again.” You told him, your hands shaking as you worked with the knots until Thor was free.

Thor reached out, his hands grasping your face while his thumb brushed away your tears that were now streaming. “May I ask where you’re getting this information? Because I fully intend on seeing you again.”

“What?” Your voice broke at his words, and your wet hands reached up to grip his own. “Thor, you can’t . . . you can’t come back! They’ll kill you! You won’t be able to escape and -”

“I’ll risk anything to see you again.” Thor told you, “I’m going to come back for you, Y/N. I like dangerous situations, remember?”

You shook your head, but your frown faded and was replaced with an affectionate smile. Grabbing him around the waist, you tugged him into the water. “They’re growing on me too.” You told him, your nose brushing against his for a brief moment before you leaned up and pressed your lips firmly against his, smooth and fluid, your lips moving together until you pulled away, both breathless from the sensation. “Take a deep breath, let’s get you out of here,” You murmured against his mouth, gripping his hand tight.

Thor did as requested, and found himself dragged along under the water. It was a strange feeling, being pulled as if he weighed nothing, even stranger was the feeling of his powers returning to his limbs the further they got from the cave. By the time the two of you had reached the shore, he was able to call Mjolnir with no difficulties.

“Thor? Promise me you’ll be safe.” You begged, your hands cupping his face now while his arms held you close.

“You could see for yourself. Come with me,” he pleaded, his forehead resting against yours.

But you shook your head. “I have to make sure they don’t come after you.” You told him while your thumb caressed his cheek.

“Your safety is more important than my own. I promise I would keep you safe.” Thor tried to convince you, but even before he said the words, he knew they were pointless. Your mind had been made up.

“I know you would, my sweet Thor, but I won’t let you risk that. If you do indeed come back. Maybe we will find a way to be together then. If you still want to that is.” You told him.

“There is never going to be a moment when I don’t want to be with you, Y/N.” Thor told you, sincerity in his voice as he leaned down to meet you lips in a final kiss. Both of you clutching each other tight as you did, knowing this would be the last time you would see each other for a while.

“Go,” you murmured when the two of you parted. “Before it’s too late.”

Thor nodded and stepped back, glancing at you one more time before calling out. “Heimdall, open the bifrost!” Instantly, the portal opened and Thor found himself traveling in the air, already missing your presence.

He knew one thing for sure as he landed on the rainbow bridge. He was going to find a way back to you, one way or another.
