[Spoilers for Original Sin: Thor & Loki #2 and a recent announcement]

ARRGH! [Angela is throwing a heavenly fit right now, overturning tables and smashing everything in sight.]

Assassin, yes, it is in line with my training as hunter and a worthy homage to lady Gamora, but for Asgard!? Never! How these "creators" think they can make me fight in service to the Realm of Nothing is preposterous! I am the strongest of all Heven's warriors! I am... I am...

[If what they're saying is true, what you are is an Asgardian, sister to Thor and heir to the throne of Asgard.

Angela stops her tantrum, taking deep and heavy breaths as she tries to come to terms with this fact.]

I don't believe it. I cannot believe it. How can such a thing be true?

[But think about it. Your lack of wings, your strength when compared to your sisters in arms', the way you never quite fit in--]

Heven is my home. I will not fight in the name of its oppressor!

[Something tells me you have no choice.]

You are lucky, lady mun, that you are out of reach from my weapons, should you continue to speak in such a way.

[bunnygirlgoddess]

Perhaps they have another plan for you entirely.

[hevenly]

[ Angela just... eyes warily. ]

What plan may that be?

[bunnygirlgoddess]

If you fight for your oppressor today, then it may turn around to be the opposite tomorrow.

[It might be a good idea to be wary of this one.]

[hevenly]

You mean... I only play at serving Asgard, to take them down from the inside?

[bunnygirlgoddess]

It is possible. Though I lack the specifics.

[hevenly]

I am... ill-suited to subterfuge.

[beautifuldanger]

Oh joy, just what we need. Another Asgardian heroine.

I suppose that between the Lady Sif and Valkyrie, you'll form some horrible version of Charlie's Asgardian Angels?

[hevenly]

[ Angela's well-used to Earthly references by now, hanging around with Quill like she has. But this is a new one. ]

What do you want?

[beautifuldanger]

Well, I wouldn't mind one less Asgardian redhead, but since that seems to be out of the question, I'll settle for you to stop whining about your new circumstances. You're Asgardian now. Believe me, that's a definite step above from whatever it was that you were before.

[hevenly]

You will not speak ill of Angels, Asgardian filth!

[ Touchy much? ]

[beautifuldanger]

Darling, if I'm Asgardian filth, then you are as well.

But I'm hardly filthy. Naughty, perhaps. Troublesome, to be sure. Filthy? Never.

Well. Unless you're talking about riches. I do have my moments there.

[changeanddie]

Hmmmm, the happenings in Asgardia keep getting curiouser and curiouser. First secret agents, now assassins. I have to wonder what the All-Mother is thinking for their dangerous life choices. I wouldn't be surprised if you were blackmailed into the job as well. Not that it makes it better, mind you, but it's a better explanation than you just working for people you dislike. The interview was mentioning debts, perhaps you're paying one?

In any case, wait and see until the event is over and you have all the information, then you can thrash all you desire. It is traumatizing when you're suddenly an Asgardian, that I know well. I know not of your people to understand your hatred and my case is the opposite, but anyways. I'm rambling now.

[hevenly]

[ Angela is a warrior, but she is not so cruel as to harm a child. ]

What do you mean, you know well the hurt of finding yourself to be an Asgardian? Who are you, boy?

[changeanddie]

[See, that fact doesn't stop most of the Asgardians. But we're not talking about those bullies yet.]

Well, milady, technically I am a foster brother of yours. I'll restrain from calling you a sister, though; I suspect it's a touchy subject still, judging from all those tables. I might identify with Asgard and have become one of them but I was born from Frost Giants. I was adopted by Odin in a similar fashion to yours from what I understand.

But that's not what I meant by that. This all happened ages ago, in a past life. I died, reincarnated with no memories of it, and was brought back by Thor a couple of years ago. You know, the big blond fellow who's invading your realm? That guy.

[hevenly]

You are... or once you were... jotunn? [ She only knows of the Frost Giants through tales, much as she only heard of Earth from the myths of her people. ] But now, you call yourself one of them? And his brother, no less?

[changeanddie]

Indeed I was. Seriously though, I can't recall anything from my time in Jotunheim anymore. I never even went there in this existence nor have I any allegiance to it. I do acknowledge my roots to consider me half and half, but I'm more god than giant currently. My skin is not blue anymore.

I do genuinely call Thor my dear brother, in any case.

[olympic_lion]

Ah, the new girl! I had heard word, but this is the first time seeing you in person. So far, you assuredly don't lack for fire.

[hevenly]

[ Angela smirks. ]

Those are but words. Words from a man my lady mun claims to be quite a warrior.

[olympic_lion]

[AWW yeah, he'll go ahead and wink at the aforementioned lady mun. Because HERCULES.] It's ever a pleasure to meet a fan!

Yet I take it you had rather have more than words of me, o Angelic one? Far be it me to refuse The Gift of battle to a willing recipient. [He cracked his neck, grinning fit to beat the band.]

Hover to translate!

[i_am_groot]

I AM GROOT!

omg I love you

[hevenly]

[ Angela smiles to see one of her comrades in arms. ]

Groot. It is... good to see you in such troubled times.

I try. :-)

[i_am_groot]

I AM GROOT!

I only weep that your wonderful translations are lost on characters

[hevenly]

Yes, friend, and your presence is appreciated.

[ She exhales a small laugh. ]

I find myself longing for the simpler times I have spent among your numbers.

[i_am_groot]

I AM GROOT!

Apologies in advance for Eric, he likes the ladies.

[irredeemed_ant]

Sooooo... Thor has a hot sister?
