I know normally I post two chapters today, and worry not that will return next week, but the thing is this a few hours ago, around 10 hours or more by the time this chapter gets posted, my moms now ex boyfriend hit her, breaking her nose, and I got into a fight, he broke my lip and a few eye vessels, but your boy corn won, the point being I didn't have time write to keep my stockpile, so as to avoid any possible burnouts I will post one chap today, which will allow me to relax, Patreôn wise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After another weekly feast, I went back to my Asgardian house, to rest, it was Friday after all, and tomorrow I would go back to earth and visit the girls, but for now, I would rest.
"I thought you were going back home," Sif muttered, jumping inside my house through my open window.
"You know there is a door right?" I said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, but where is the fun in knocking?" Sif winked.
"I suppose," I chuckled. "Well, to answer your question, is already too late on earth, so I decided to stay here for the night." I didn't want to wake up the girls.
"Thor was very excited you accepted his offer to join his elite group of warriors," Sif commented, taking a seat beside me on my bed.
"He is at times a big child, is he not?" I chuckled.
"He is," Sif chuckled.
"So, what are you doing here, Lady Sif, surely you know how bad it looks for a woman to be with a man on his chambers, alone." I teased with a smirk.
Sif smirked, as she slugged me on the arm playfully. A meaty little smack. "And who will dare to talk about me?"
"Touche," I chuckled. "So, wanna watch a movie?" I asked, I mean, for that reason I had brought a battery-powered TV, to watch movies and chill with my Asgardian friends.
"Sure," Sif nodded, getting comfortable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Watching movies with Sif, or hanging out with her, in general, had become routine, to the point I had begun to consider I liked her, perhaps more than just friends.
"Well, time to go." I sighed as I watched over the clock, it was already morning on Earth.
"Going home?" Sif asked as she approached me.
I looked at her and for a moment I wondered, should I take my shot. "Yes." I nodded, gathering the courage to ask her to come to earth with me, as friends. "Would you like to come with me?" I asked.
"To earth?" Sif asked, taken back by my request.
"Yes. I could show around, and it would annoy Thor." I had yet to bring Thor to earth, and bringing anyone but him first would annoy the God of Thunder.
"Annoying Thor, you drive a hard bargain." Sif chuckled. "Fine, why not."
Grinning, I opened a portal to Earth, and for dramatics bowed. "After you, Lady Sif."
Sif chuckled as she walked through the portal, followed by me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At the other side of the portal, I found Bucky wearing a Hello Kitty apron as he cooked for the girls.
"Nice apron." I chuckled.
Bucky said nothing and continued cooking.
"Hi, my name is Emily Walker!" Emily greeted Sif, running towards her with a welcoming smile. "Are you dating our daddy?"
"If you rush at any potential female for our paternal figure like that, he won't ever get a girlfriend." Natasha chuckled from the kitchen.
"Don't be silly, daddy is super handsome, is he not?" Emily asked Sif who with a teasing smile nodded.
"He is," Sif chuckled.
"See?!" Emily nodded with a satisfied smile towards Nat.
"I never said he wasn't handsome, but your eagerness for him to date will scare any potential females." Nat chuckled.
"So this is a Midgard household?" Sif asked, looking around.
"Not the best example of how they usually look." I chuckled. "I am rich, therefore, my house is way bigger than normal Midgardian houses."
"I would like to see a normal Midgardian house later then, to compare to Asgard," Sif replied, walking to the kitchen. "You must be the sworn shield of the Walker family," she said greeting Bucky.
"Something like that," Bucky replied.
"My name is Sif, the Asgardian Goddess of War," Sif introduced herself.
"A Goddess?" Emily gasped with stars in her eyes.
"I find it disturbing she uses magic for things like that…" Nat commented with a shudder.
"Hey, you got your Kung Fu moves, I got my magic!" Emily huffed.
"Your daughters are warriors like yourself?" Sif asked with a gleam of excitement.
"Yes." I nodded my chest puffing with pride. "Nat here is like you a warrior of arms and weapons, while Emily here is a great sorceress in the making."
"Dad! I'm blushing!" Emily giggled, hiding her head under her shirt.
"We are cool, we know it," Nat grinned with a wink.
"Then maybe they should come to Asgard one of these days?" Sif proposed, "We have classes for children their age."
"I don't know…" I scratched the back of my head, "They have school, and their training…"
"We have Sunday off…" Nat said.
"I suppose I could take them, next Sunday to see Asgard," I nodded.
"So, what first?" Sif nodded. "I haven't been on Midgard in a few, so what is first in our list?"
"Breakfast, then a small tour of New York," I said with a smile.
"I made eggs and toast," Bucky said, "Would you guys like anything else?"
"No, that's fine," I replied.
"Good, cause I wasn't going to cook anything else," Bucky grinned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After a nice breakfast with the girls, Bucky took Nat to her SHIELD classes and Emily teleported to Nepal, leaving me and Sif alone for our tour.
But first, I needed to buy her some clothes, walking with a full set of armor and a sword around the city would bring me unwanted attention.
"Must I wear this?" Sif asked with a huff, for a warrior like her wearing garments like the ones I had provided was nearly an insult.
"Yes, otherwise people will stare at us way too much," I replied, the last thing I wanted was people chasing us and thinking Sif was a cosplayer.
"Feels weird," Sif sighed moving her body around.
"It's jeans and a shirt, a common Midgardian look," I replied with a soft chuckle.
"I even bought you a leather jacket, so people know you are a badass," I chuckled, as she put on her jacket.
"I suppose," Sif smiled. "Now can we tour the city?"
"Yes, let's," I nodded with a smile.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked with Sif around the city, showing her every little corner she wanted to explore.
It was almost adorable seeing such a fearsome warrior like her getting excited by things like a gas station hot dog, and other minor things like that, it was precious really.
I showed her the good, and the bad of the city, I mean, there was no point in showing someone only the good parts, but regardless of what I showed her, she was always excited, grinning like a kid with a new toy to play.
Our tour eventually led us to the Theodore Roosevelt Park, where I took the initiative of setting up a picnic.
I wanted to get to know her better before making any moves, though I suppose a picnic could be considered a move.
The point was, I wanted to see if my attraction to her was more than purely physical, that part was sure, I liked her, she was in peasant terms hot as fuck, but no relationship really lasted if the only thing you liked about the other person was their body.
Also, I wanted to see if she liked me, you kinda need both parties to agree on that.
"Today has been quite the adventure," Sif said, a wide blinding smile on her face as she looked at me.
"Well, considering where you live, I'll take that as a compliment." I smiled back at her.
"It truly is a miracle how Midgardians live, besides you and your sworn shield, they look…" Sif paused for a moment as if trying to find the correct word to describe human weakness.
"Weak? Soft?" I chuckled, getting an odd look from her. "Look don't feel bad for saying it, we humans are weak by an evolution standard point of view. But is that weakness that fuels our greed for more, for improvement."
"Is that why you became so strong?" Sif inquired with a curious look, "For human greed?"
"I suppose in a way? Yes," I nodded, "I also wanted to be the ruler of my life, which was an impossibility as long as I was like everyone else."
"Freedom through power?" Sif gave me a soft smile. "I can relate to that."
"You can?" I looked at her with a curious look.
"If you repeat anything I say from this point on, I will beat you," Sif threatened in a joking manner.
"Cross my heart and hope to die," I promised.
"What?" Sif chuckled.
"Is a human thing, it means I won't say a word," I chuckled back.
"Got to remember that," Sif smiled, "Well, as I was saying, I'm a woman."
"And that's a problem in which way?" I asked.
"That in Asgardian culture, we are often overlooked," Sif replied with a sad smile, "I trained twice… no... thrice as hard as everyone else, day and night I practiced with my sword until my hands bleed, and even then, I continued, pushing beyond my limits, perfecting my moves. I spent centuries practicing without a rest, but that didn't matter… for everyone else only saw me as a woman, my gender alone was the very chain that kept me down."
I looked at her, "I can't say I relate to that, if I did I would be lying, but those that judged you based on your gender are idiots."
Sif laughed, a bitter laugh, "They are, in the end, it was Thor's who showed everyone else I was as capable as the rest of the man in Odin's army, and with time, well, I made a name for myself."
"I have to ask, how can Asgardians be so misogynistic?" I asked, with a frown, "I mean, what about the Valkyries?" weren't the Valkyries an all-woman force? When they existed.
Sif chuckled, "I said the same, but since their demise long before my birth, well, warriors such as myself have been working against the tide."
I smiled at her.
"So I get your feeling," Sif smiled, "Power is sadly the breaker of chains, we all have chains, and only power can break them, be it the chains of one's gender, of the chains of one's innate weakness."
"Wise words," I nodded.
"I have my moments," Sif grinned.
"Well, cheers to our success so far." I chuckled, giving her a cup of wine I had pulled out of my inventory alongside a very expensive wine.
"Wine? by the All-Father, if I didn't know any better, I would think you were trying to court me," Sif smiled, grabbing the cup.
"Who knows?" I winked.
"You are playing a dangerous game human," Sif replied, taking a sip of the cup. "One that you might not wanna play if you are not sure."
"Life for a human in this universe is intrinsically dangerous, so what's a risk or two?" I shot back with a playful grin.
"I can't argue with that," Sif smiled, raising her cup. "To our freedom."
I smiled at her, raising my cup to meet hers, "To our freedom."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a long picnic, and a few teasing comments here and there, we restarted the tour, this time showing her the nightlife of New York, but before we could see or watch anything good, I got a message on my phone, an urgent one.
Sabertooth had escaped.
"Is everything okay?" Sif inquired with a worried look, reading my expression.
"No, a dangerous criminal has escaped," I replied, cursing Sabertooth on my head, couldn't he escape tomorrow, I was making progress here. "And now I have to hunt him down."
Sif's worried expression changed to an excited one, "Then I shall help you with this!" she declared.
"You don't have to," I assured her.
"Of course I do," Sif grinned, "Besides, I want to see what other Midgardians have to offer in the way of combat."
I chuckled, "Okay, I suppose we can hunt him together."
"Now this is a real Asgardian date!" Sif grinned.
"A date?" I asked with a teasing smile.
"Who knows?" Sif shot back with a wink, using my own words against me.
