It felt like she hadn't taken a real breath all day. Jessica had been to Asgard before, could even sort of get around without getting entirely goddamn lost. But that was before Frigga decorated the entire planet for the wedding. It was beautiful, stunning, apocalyptically gorgeous -- but it was, in the traditional Odinson way, a lot. Jessica shook her head, staring at the streams of flowers and magical candles surrounding the room they were using to get ready. "You freaking out yet? Need to watch a Christmas Princess Netflix movie?" she asked, smirking over at Jane. She reached out, traced her hand along Jane's hair, not really doing anything to fix or help it, just. Reaching out. "You look... I mean, Thor's gonna lose his mind. If you weren't already pregnant, well..." she teased, biting her lip. She paused a second. "Seriously though. Are you feeling super overwhelmed yet? Because I passed that about two hours ago personally, and if it was my wedding day I think I'd be throwing up by now."

Thor had grown accustomed to waking at the sound of his daughters' cries. The exhaustion was not utterly new to him, there had been long, sleepless nights before. But it felt different, more out of control. He wasn't surprised when the nightmares returned, when he jolted from his bed drenched in a cold sweat. Though he had not had one since before the girl's birth, he had been waiting. Gasping for breath, he first went to check on the babies. They were curled up together in one bassinet, it was the only way Astrilde would settle. Miraculously, they were still asleep, and Thor set his hand on their tiny, entwined feet. He felt Jane's hand on his shoulder, and slowly turned his head towards her. "My apologies, min sol. It seems I need your light tonight, enough to wake you from what I hope was a more peaceful slumber than my own." He pulled his hand back from the girls before they could fuss, and touched Jane's where it lay on his shoulder. "Did I frighten you?"

Val had tried many different things when it came to her hangovers but this. This was different. She wanted to get to know Jane better and not just because she was close to both Loki and Thor but because she was curious. She definitely surprised her as she tapped against the mug. "I don't know what you put in this but my headache is completely gone and I don't feel nearly as shitty as I did five minutes ago. Am I allowed in on the secret?" ( @drfcstrs )

Front page news:

The wedding reception of Asgardian Prince Thor Odinson and Dr. Jane Foster didn't go as planned last Saturday, as Avengers Tower where the party was located, fell under attack by Hydra insurgents. Sources say that Hydra agents weakened defenses a few days before in what is now being called a 'practice run,' and took advantage of the crowded guest list to sneak in and strike from the inside. Civilians and heroes alike were wounded, several seriously. Asgardian Prince and fellow heir to the throne, Loki Odinson, took a particularly nasty blow and remains in serious condition. Prior to his injury, some witnesses claim they saw the younger god lift the hammer Mjolnir -- a mysterious Asgardian artifact. (See page 3 for a more in-depth article.) Clean up efforts have already commenced at Avengers Tower, and while the mood is tense, for now the danger has passed. Still, this reporter has to wonder how long it will be until the next major attack -- and how something like this can happen in the first place. If heroes can't keep their own houses safe, what hope do the rest of us have? Tell us your thoughts at letterstotheeditor@bugle.com

Page 3:

Mjolnir, mysterious weapon of Thor, was rumored to have been destroyed in Canada earlier this year. Yet eye witnesses from the Reception Attack claim to have seen the hammer reform before their very eyes. This reporter delves deep into the history and myths surrounding this strange hammer, asking what exactly it means to be 'worthy.' Find out more inside.

The wedding might have been all about Asgardian royalty, but Captain Peggy Carter and Captain Steve Rogers showed us all what old-school romantic couple goals should be. Looking classy arm in arm at the ceremony, and leading efforts to keep civilians safe when the attack broke out.

"Well at least one of the little princesses likes her crown," Frigga noted, nodding down to the sleeping Frea. She hadn't stirred since the little crown was put on her head. Astrilde on the other hand, had started to chew on hers, but apparently even that was no longer a valid alternative. She let go of it and wailed loudly. Frigga scooped her up and started to sway. "I used to do this with the boys. I think I spent half a century swaying babies," she joked gently, looking over at Jane. "The presentation ceremony won't take long, and then we'll get you all back home safely. I'm sorry, these formalities are so... I know they aggravated me, as a new mother. But maybe that was just the sleep deprivation."

@drfcstrs

Mjölnir chose you. It chose you because you’re worthy, and that’s something. When I first met you, I was unworthy. I was unable to pick up that hammer. But you taught me there is no greater purpose than to help those in need. You made me worthy. So whatever you want to do, we can do together.

"Hi. I'm locked out of my apartment," Jessica explained, striding inside and setting her bag down. "And I don't feel like breaking the door down right this second. Then I have to fix the damn thing again." She glanced at the babies in the corner and held up a hand. "Sorry, I suck at watching my language. How are the little beasts?" she asked, smirking fondly at the twins.

Thor was grateful that Loki had reminded him half a dozen times before leaving to be quiet when he entered the chamber. It was a good reminder, for someone like him. But he managed to gingerly creep around the bed, kneeling before her curled up form. Gently, he took one hand, brushed the hair back from her face. "I thought about bringing the girls," he whispered (as best he knew how). "But though their smiles can cure many ailments -- I don't think this one of them," he teased. Thor leaned forward, pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Can I get you anything, min sol? I could summon a thunderstorm perhaps, to block the sunlight?" He was only half-joking. If she asked, he would swallow the sun itself.

"I can't imagine this is how you wished to spend your wedding night," Frigga whispered, as the door creaked open behind her. Who would it be but Jane? Jessica was asleep, finally, fitfully despite Frigga's magical assistance. And she had sent Thor to sleep as well, to his room in the tower where his new wife could join him once things had finally stabilized some. Frigga stared at the steady, scrolling line of the heart monitor, and thought what a wonderful word that was. Stabilized. She wished for more stability right now, only the centuries of practice in keeping her every thought hidden, her every emotion controlled, those habits kept her upright at the moment. She held Loki's hand in her own, and looked back at Jane. "His skin is so impossibly cold. But maybe that's a good thing, given..." She trailed off, not out of shame but because he would have finished the sentence. Snark and sarcasm to show off his wit and distance himself from whatever feelings he had about his genetic heritage. Frigga reached out her free hand for Jane's, smiling gently at her. "How are you, elskede? Has anyone thought to ask you?"

"It's just how I always pictured it," Thor whispered, squeezing Jane's hand. The feasts and celebrations of Asgard were beyond compare. The hall was warm and brightly lit, fires roaring and filling the room with a comforting orange glow. Tables after tables of food lined one side of the room, and there were banners of red and gold everywhere. Crowds of people, his friends, the court, noble persons from across the realm were all gathered, some dancing, some laughing, and a few dueling for sport upon the balcony, to raucous cheers. His eyes drifted to the head table and he sighed. "Except for that, of course," he said, nodding over. Whenever he'd pictured it, his father would be laughing, leading the dances -- would nod his approval at Thor and smile upon his bride with warmth and love. Odin was seated at the table, smiling sure enough but it was all for show. Thor turned away, guided Jane towards the dancing. "How are you doing, min sol?" he asked her. "You look beautiful, a goddess if I ever saw one."

Thor hovered sheepishly outside Jane's office, rapping on the slightly open door with one hand. "Are you busy, my sunlight?" he asked, taking a step inside. "I know I have been... distracted lately." Since their return to Canada, he knew he had not been himself. It was difficult, when it felt as though he were the one scattered across the hillside, broken into pieces. He pulled his other hand out from behind his back, where he had a single sunflower. He held it out to her. "Barton tells me flowers are an excellent apology. Apparently he used it on my brother once. I did not ask for details." He smiled gently at her. "But this one reminded me of you."

Jane moved through the party like she was born to do exactly this. Jessica didn't envy her, but she did admire the technique and skill. She waited until Jane had separated from the crowd some, sitting down at a table later in the evening, before she walked over. "Congratulations, Sunshine Barbie," she said, smiling at the blonde. "Or should I say Queen Sunshine Barbie?" Jessica laughed, her expression softening. "Suits you. Crowns and parties and fairytale shit."
