She was supposed to be doing every normal thing a good S.H.I.E.L.D agent did; mission, briefing, another mission, another briefing. It was a normalcy she was so used to so she never complained, it was her lifestyle and she quite like it, it bought a slight sense of normality to life, albeit a weird kind of normality. But of all days, instead of doing what she considered was "normal" she was being convinced to take a trip to another world; Asgard, with the God of Thunder himself.

All eyes were on her; Clint (who did not look amused in the sightless), Bruce, Tony, Steve and the head director Fury. She had to give a quick answer, Thor was apparently in a hurry and the trip was to be taken right this instant.

The silence among the crowd was almost too much to bear and she was so confused by his arrival that the minute he touched the ground her instant thoughts were "Loki, what did you do now?" her thoughts were confirmed when he mentioned saving someone and Loki.

Of course Loki had something to do with all this.

"I know you have seen him, Lady Natasha," Thor stated. Her eyes opened like two sets of plates, the fast thumping of her heart rang in her ear. "I know about your dreams."

"What are you talking about?" she asked though she knew very well what he was saying. She had hoped to at least keep her dreams private. Oh how mistaken she had been.

"The dreams in which you saw my brother's face, in which you felt his heartbeat just as loud as yours…"

"Ok you know what? Stop!" She jumped from her seat, instantly making Thor stop. Her friends stared at her questioningly and she had no explanation for what was happening to her.

Yes, Thor was right. Two weeks ago to exact, her dreams had begun. She would see Loki, imprisoned in Asgard, sometimes he cried, sometimes he was angry, and sometimes he wished for someone, anyone to kill him. Her heart ached, though it shouldn't, because the last thing she should feel for him was pain or sorrow and yet she woke up in the middle of the night with tears running down her cheeks.

"You must come with me to Asgard. You must help me save my brother" Thor begged, the desperation on his voice hit her hard. He has always been the only one to believe there was good in his brother, he had always been the one to help Loki become a better person, and now he was so desperate to save him he had come all the way to Earth to seek for assistance. Why her, she had no idea.

"Why me?" she asked and she was sure it was the question everyone wanted to ask.

"In Asgard, there is a legend that states each individual belongs to someone else, their hearts are bond to become one. If one of them makes a mistake, does something for he deserves to be punished, his soul mate can save him from torture." He walked a little bit closer to her, his eyes watering. "I had been told a soul mate can see each other in their dreams, feel the despair the other feels, like you have with my brother."

"How do you know all this?" she asked because there was no way she could deny it. Thor knew, now everyone else. She was not that good liar.

"I have been told by someone whose name I am not entitled to reveal" he whispered and she wondered if that person had been Loki, if in his moments of desperation had revealed this to Thor in order to be spare from his fate. "Please Lady Natasha, I am begging you. Help me save my brother. I know you believe this is right."

"Wait, can we just wait for a second?" Clint interrupted, our heads snapped towards him as his anger settled in. The last thing he would want is for Loki to be alive and well. "You're saying the psycho killer of your brother can be saved by Natasha because you believe in this fairytale? Seriously?"

"It is not a tale, as you express. It is nothing but the truth" Thor snapped.

"And what makes you believe we will let her go?" Clint spoke again, exchanging a glance towards her. She found herself speechless, much to her surprise, part of heart told her to do this be because it was the right thing to do, to give him a second chance. The other agreed with everything Clint had stated, Loki was a killer, a psycho who was supposed to be dead.

Then again, so was she.

"I think that decision should be mine, don't you think?" she interrupted, their eyes train on her once again.

"Are you out of your mind? The guy tried to kill us all, he destroyed half of the city and should I remind you what he did to Phil?" Clint spoke angrily, Thor flinched with every word he said knowing to everyone his brother did not deserve to be spared but he still had faith in him. "The guy is a psychopath and a monster."

"I've killed people too, remember that? And I was saved for whatever reason. What makes you believe he can't be good like we're now?" she spoke. Thor sighed with relief, glanced gratefully at her.

"You can't just leave like that" Clint told her, looking briefly at his friends for support "help me out here."

"This could be an opportunity to make sure Loki can't and will not harm anyone." Director Fury spoke. Natasha knew by then the last word has been said.

"Are you kidding me?...sir." Clint complained. "What if he kills her? What if this is just a trap to get rid of her?"

"My brother would not do such thing for if she is harm, he will be."

She looks down at her feet, torn between staying and ignoring Thor's begging or following what her heart told her to do. She had never been so conflicted before, ever since Loki had unexpectedly showed up on her dreams she hadn't been able to get him out of her mind. She had first thought it had been nothing but a dream, but now she understood the reasons why this was happening.

Maybe it was fate. Maybe this was some sort of twisted way to help him redeem himself and become a better man.

"I will do it." Natasha spoke, avoiding Clint's look of disappointment and surprise.

"Natasha c'mon…" Clint interrupted, standing in front of her so she was looking directly at his eyes. "This is crazy. You can't just fraternize with the enemy…"

"Thor is not the enemy and I'm doing this for him." she explained. Clint looked down, defeated.

"I am grateful Lady Natasha" Thor vowed once more and held out his hand. "We must leave at once."

"Now? You want us to leave now?" She asked in surprise. She thought she would at least have a few days to adjust herself to the idea of being sent away.

"Yes. The marriage is set upon three days after your arrival."

"Wait, hold up. You said marriage?"

"Of course, you and my brother will be bonded for an eternity"

She shared one last look with everyone, her heart beating faster than ever. She thought about saving Loki would be simple, just speak in his behalf and nothing more. Now bonding her life in a marriage was a bit too much. She couldn't just say no, now that Thor looked so hopeful and happy.

"Fine. I will do it." she whispered, receiving a warm smile from the God.

To be truthful she feared for her fate. Having seen how Loki was really like, a monster like she had called him too back in the day, she was half hoping he could just redeem himself and she could come back to be the same old agent she was now.

She could only hope.
