Today later on my patreôn, I'll be doing a mass release for Marvel. It's a secret message cuss not even my patrons know about it. So, if you feel like subscribing this month is the one.

Or you can feed me in memes. They are protein for me.

On other news, I wanted to make a April fools prank, but… I decided against it. My prank is that you guys now know about the mass release before my patrons. A prank that doesn't hurt no one.

I looked at Mimir, who looked back at me with an emotionless look. It was almost as if staring at a corpse, giving me an unsettling feeling that crawled down my back, in an unusual way.

It wasn't fear.

It was something else.

"Thor Odinson, take a step into the well, and make your offering," Mimir spoke, his eyes never leaving me. It almost felt familiar.

"Wish me luck," Thor smiled at me, walking into the well with a sense of uncertainty.

"You are mighty, you need no luck," I replied, trying to assure my friend things would go okay.

"Indeed," Thor nodded, taking the first step into the seemingly bottomless well.

Something I had failed to notice before.

The well felt infinite.

Almost like the stones in a way, but way less abstract.

"Now, submerge, and make your sacrifice, and claim your power," Mirmir spoke, as Thor walked deeper and deeper into the well, his body begging to glow in a faint yet powerful form light that seemed to be composed in its entirety out of pure cosmic energy.

Thor said nothing in return, diving into the well, leaving me alone with the head of Mimir, staring deep into my eyes.

"So, I guess it's my turn?" I asked, to which the head said nothing. This was getting, rather awkward.

Eventually, however, the head sighed, his lifeless gaze moving from me to the well, "You seem to misunderstand, the well, has nothing to offer you."

"What?" I asked, frowning. The well was the source of infinite knowledge, Omniscience in a drinkable form, how could that not have anything to offer me.

"As I said, the well has nothing to offer you," Mimir replied, his eyes once again back to me.

"Is it because I'm a human?" I asked, perhaps that was the reason, perhaps only Asgardians could use the well, or in even more restrictive case scenario, perhaps only could Thor use the well.

"No, once again you misunderstand, perhaps it is my bad," Mimir sighed, looking to the side, "I suppose being in a cave for all over a few millennia has dulled my social skills to a greater extent than I originally assumed, who knows, but… that's beyond the point, the point is…" he sighed, clicking his tongue, "The well can't offer you anything, after all, what's the point of offering you something you already have."

Something I already have? "I apologize if I sound vulgar, but what in the fuck are you smoking? Do I look omniscient?"

Mimir snorted, cracking a smile at me, which unsettled me even more than his normal emotionless self, "So much power, so much knowledge, yet all locked within a lie."

I scowled, "Look, I came here for answers, can you give any? I'm tired of the mysterious load of crap."

Mimir smiled, "Unfortunately, I can't give you what you want, for it is beyond my power to do so, but… I can show you," he chuckled, "Perhaps the well of knowledge can offer you something, after all."

"So, I have to give something, right?" I asked.

"No," Mimir replied, back to his emotionless self.

"Well… good for me," I sighed, walking into the well.

"Know this, Alex, I can only show you, but a brief moment of what you wish to know, do with that what you can," Mimir said, and soon after a bright light engulfed me.

————————————————————————

The moment the light engulfed, everything around me changed fast, my environment exploding with colors. The change was brief, and lasted less than a second, when I found myself once again standing in front of Mimir, but somehow, even though it had been so fast, it had showed me so much.

That brief but powerful moment, had shown me the beginning of everything. The spark of creation.

I knew it.

I was sure of it.

But the question now was, why the hell had the well shown me that?!

"I saw the beginning of everything," I muttered, "Why… Why did I see the beginning of everything?" I asked Mimir.

"What I showed you is nothing more than something you have already witnessed," Mimir replied in his tone grave, "I can't tell you the reason behind such vision, only that you already know, or should know this."

What was I supposed to do with that? Was my origin in this universe linked to the beginning of it all?

"If I am allowed to give you a piece of advice, I recommend you visit the roots of Yggdrasil, they will show you more, much more than I can show you," Mimir added, to which I silently nodded.

After that vision.

I wanted to know more.

Because for some reason I had yet to understand, seeing that, had made me feel incomplete.

"The King emerges," Mimir said, gaining my attention once again, as the water of the well started to glow, with Thor slowly emerging from the well, both of his eyes missing.

"Brother," Thor spoke, turning to look at me with a wide smile.

"So you gave both of your eyes in the end," I commented.

"I did, not that I need them any longer," Thor chuckled, walking out of the well, his entire body giving a different aura, almost as if he had matured decades the brief moment he had been in there.

"Do you still want robotic eyes?" I asked.

"I do," Thor smiled, giving a bear hug, as he whispered close to my ear, "We need to talk."

I blinked, nodding to his request as I turned to look at Mimir, "Where are the roots of Yggdrasil?"

"Down that path," Mimir replied, as a new path appeared, once seemingly made out of the roots of several tangled trees, weaving a tapestry of unique design.

"Very well," I nodded, walking with Thor out of the well, following the root path, "What happened?" I eventually asked Thor.

"Did you know you are older than me?" Thor replied.

I stopped, turning to look at him with a befuddled look, "No,"

"I know so much now, however, you seem to be a blank in my knowledge, all I know, is that you are older than me, and father, and his father, older than Asgard to summarize," Thor sighed, scratching the back of his head, "I wanted to ask you, to see if it ring any bells, but you seem as confused as me."

"Mimir showed me a vision," I said, taking a deep breath, "It didn't last long, a second at most, but it was about the beginning of time, the beginning of all, a vision that according to him was something I had witnessed by myself."

"So, as old as the universe, huh?" Thor mused, before breaking into a fit of laughter, "I knew you were a God alright!"

I smiled, at least one of us wasn't perturbed by the implication of that.

[Mimir POV]

He had finally come.

Like that man had said he would.

Alex and Thor had come together.

"Well done Mimir,"

"I did what you told me to do," I replied, as the man that had been visiting me for the last few years entered my humble abode.

"The joke about your body being in the dry cleaning, hmm, chef's kiss," The man replied, laughing.

"That was your joke, you told me to say it," I replied, wondering once again, how someone so powerful could be so childish at the same time.

"I know, that's why it was a perfect joke," The man chuckled, moving his hand a bit, manifesting a can of coke to it, "Want one?" He offered.

I looked at him, and replied, "Unless you pour the drink into my mouth, I don't think so," without a body, things were difficult, the only good side of all of this was the knowledge it all brought to me, knowledge that seemed to be useless when it came to this man, I knew everything, about everyone, except him, or Alex.

"Why didn't you say so?" The man smiled, snapping his fingers, and just like that, in the blink of an eye, I found myself with a body.

It all happened so fast, I couldn't even register what he did. One moment my head was laying on the ground, and the next, I was standing, looking at him in disbelief, "Just who are you?" I dared to ask.

"A man, doing man things," The man shrugged, tossing me a can of coke.

I grabbed the can mid air, and laughed, how could I not? I had hands… I could feel things once again, it was all so… unbelievable, "I caught it," I muttered, looking at the can in awe.

"Now, drink it," The man smiled, taking a sip of his drink.

I chuckled, before realizing this would not last, nothing good was ever meant to be, at least not for me, "When will this body go away?"

"Well, that was a more depressing answer I was prepared for…" The man sighed, scratching the back of his head.

"Nothing ever comes for free," I replied, I was a living example of such.

"Well, that's true," The man nodded, index fingers pressed upon his lips, "Buttt, you already paid the price, I guess… I mean, I wanted you to guide Alex, and you did, so… body as a reward."

A simple vision, and he had given me back everything I lost? "I see." No matter how much I wanted to believe it, it all felt unreal.

"You are underselling your helping hand," The man chuckled, almost as if reading my thoughts, "I am reading them," he added with a snicker, "The point is, giving you a body, or a coke, is technically the same for me, I make the same effort for both things… the perks of being omnipotent and shit, so don't worry, do try to pretend you are a head when the boy comes back though, don't want him to question things too much."

I nodded, I might not understand him, or why he does what he does, but, I would not turn this down, after all, if I am to be trapped in the well of knowledge, I might as well have a body, "Do you think he will succeed on the roots?" I asked.

"Without a doubt," The man replied, his voice sounding almost… proud, I wonder why?

"I am proud," The man confirmed.

Right, he can read my mind, "I see, but why?"

"I don't know, read my mind," The man winked.

"I can't," I sighed, he knew the answer to that.

"That sounds like a you problem," The man chuckled.

"I suppose it is," I nodded, opening my can of coke to drink, my first drink in a few millennia. I wonder how it tastes, I mean, I know how it tastes thanks to my infinite knowledge, but knowing something in theory and in practice are two different things.

————————————————————————

[Emily Walker POV]

Daddy was once again busy on an important mission.

So it was up to me! To make sure his return was one full of love and warmth!

Which is why I was currently on my way to the kitchen to start baking some cookies, the pre daddy arrival cookies, I had, after all, to try them before daddy arrived.

Why?

Well, I had to select the best ones for him.

And for that I had to test a few recipes I had found in a book.

A few hundred recipes!

My determination knew no limits!

There was no cookie frontier I would not cross!

I would conquer that cookie mountain! And deliver daddy the best cookies he has ever eaten!

For I was his daughter!

So was Nat, but I loved daddy more.

The point is, I will ensure daddy is happy with my cookies! No matter what!

"Time to make some cookies!" I declared, kicking the doors of the kitchen open wide, to find a girl around my age, with mousy brown hair and vibrant fire-red eyes already using the asgardian royal kitchen.

"What kind of cookies?" The girl asked.

I blinked, "Well, every kind?" I replied with a chuckle.

"That's a lot of cookies," The girl giggled, "Are they for someone special?"

"Yes," I nodded, after all, daddy was the most special person in the whole universe!

"I see, I see, then the cookies are a must," The girl nodded, clapping her hands together, "I know, how about I help you? I have been told I make some delicious cookies."

I hummed before asking, "By how many people?" I mean, I had to be sure she knew what she was doing, daddy deserved only the absolute best!

"More than ten," The girl offered.

More than 10?! That's a lot of people! "Ok, you are in!"

"Yeih!" The girl smiled, beaming at me.

"So what's your name?" I asked, approaching my new friend, a friend forged through the power of cookies.
