[Alex Walker POV]

I opened a portal back to Asgard, leaving Thor in his room, before going back to mine, after this weird and long journey, I needed to rest and think about a lot of things, at least for a bit. 

I had so many discoveries and yet felt in the same place as before.

I knew much, yet nothing.

I sighed, slumping into my bed as I pondered over this journey, over my findings.

Why was nothing ever easy?

"Daddy!" 

I blinked, turning to look at the door, as I heard Emily call.

I smiled.

"Yes?" I replied, which was all Emily needed to kick my door open.

"I have a gift for you!" Emily beamed at me, showcasing on her little hands a plate full of delicious-looking cookies, and other pastries.

I chuckled, pushing myself off the bed, "Well, well, well, how can I say no to that?"

Emily giggled, putting the plate on my bed.

"So, what do we have here?" I asked as Emily sat on my bed, happy to explain what she had made.

"Well, first, let's start with the classics," Emily smiled, pointed to a small pile of chocolate chip cookies, extra chips, just how I liked them, "These, as you can see, are chocolate chip cookies a la Alex," she giggled.

I nodded, taking one, and let me tell you, it was delicious.

"Please sir, restraint from trying to the exhibition during the presentation," Emily sighed, holding back a giggle.

"Yes ma'am!" I nodded, doing a military salute.

"Ok, as I was saying, those are chocolate chip cookies a la Alex," Emily smiled, once again pointing at the pile of cookies, that was currently missing two cookies… I took another one while she blinked, superspeed things.

"Hm-hm," I nodded, my mouth full with the second cookie.

"Then, we have the orange cookies, not a popular choice, I know… BUT! I like them," Emily nodded, mostly to herself.

"Hm-hm," I nodded, my mouth full with the third cookie I had just taken while she was looking away.

"Then, we have these," Emily pointed, showing me a collection of pastries I had not seen before, at least not until today.

"What is that one?" I asked, pointing at one.

"Those are some I made with my new friend, Vest," Emily smiled.

"Vest… like, vest vest?" I asked, holding a snort.

"Daddy!" Emily gasped, before turning to ponder, "Maybe? She said she got that name, cause she's the best, but with a V, of very vest, so…"

I snorted.

"Anyway as I was saying, those are some I made with my friend Vest, the one you particularly pointed out is called Revani," Emily grinned, giving me a piece, "Revani is a syrup-soaked cake made with semolina and yogurt, known for its slight lemony taste. It was hard to make, but Vest is very good at teaching, so I eventually learned!"

I smiled, looking at the slice of cake before taking a bite.

The moment I did, the whole world was put into perspective, shaking me to the very core as everything else just disappeared. I felt, my breathing becoming hard, and ragged, as tears fell into my lap.

Just then, I realized, I was crying.

"Dad?" Emily asked, her voice soft and full of uncertainty.

I looked at her, eyes still full of tears, and smiled at her, "I am baby girl," I wasn't sad, or happy, I was both, and it didn't make any sense. Then again, tears come from the heart and not from the brain, so it didn't have to make sense.

That little piece of dessert, it felt like home to me.

"Why are you crying?" Emily asked, concern lacing her tone.

"Well, it was so good it put tears into my eyes," I laughed, hugging her tight, "You are an amazing cook princess, the best of the best."

"Thanks, Daddy," Emily replied, before almost whispering, "Would you like to try the rest?"

I beamed at her, flashing her my happiest smile, "Of course!"

—-----------------------------

[Alice Walker POV]

Alex and the rest of the extras were in Asgard, leaving me to plan and move ahead with my reason for being here.

Acquiring more power.

I was strong, but in the great scheme of things, I was painfully weak.

Unlike Alex, I didn't have an infinite potential.

I just couldn't compete with the original.

But, who said I had to play by the rules?

He had his absurd potential, and I had my shortcuts.

A girl had to do what she had to do to survive.

As simple as that.

I would destroy them, those who took everything from me, no matter the cost, and would strike down anyone that decided to stand in my way.

Consequences be damned, after all, I had nothing to lose, not anymore.

I would kill as many as I had to, as long as they were a part of the great sum.

The TVA would pay.

No matter the cost.

They. Would. Pay.

"You don't have to do this," Oh right, I had a man nailed to a wall with my blades, I had almost forgotten, silly me.

"Oh, but I do silly," I beamed at him, summoning another blade before plunging it into his heart, or where his heart should be, Eternals are confusing creatures, like, for, real, where can I get a biology book on them, it would make my work considerably easy. 

"Why are you doing this?" Ugg, always the same question, it seems unoriginality it's a pattern in our universe.

"Well, my dear… what's your name?" I asked, I always forget to ask them before I kill them, I need to work on my manners.

"Druig, and I'm an eternal," Druig? Oof, his parents didn't love him.

"Well… Druig, I'm doing this… because you little Eternals are full of yummy yummy nutrients I need to grow into a big big girl," I giggled, I tried to do this before, in every time line I managed to jump in, but the TVA always caught up to me, but here… here I was free to finally do what I had set to do, starting with Druig here, the peruvian eternal… wait, does that make me racist? Should've I… like killed a white one first? Meh.

"You… plan to eat me?!" Druig asked shock.

"Don't flatter yourself, but yes," I nodded, "Not in the literal sense, I'm not THAT crazy, but yeah, I will eat you, and your friends, one by one, after all, I need to finish my appetizers before I go to the main course." The big boy.

"You are crazy!" Druig muttered, trying once again to control my mind.

"I am, I have a doctor's note and everything!" I giggled, as he continued to try and breach into my mind, silly silly Druig, you can't control a broken mind, after all, madness is the best shield against such things, "Oh well… as amusing as it is seeing you try and try, I have things to do… so, bon appetit to me."

"No… get away! Get away!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Runes were powerful, more than anything I had ever acquired, perhaps even more so than the infinity stones, because unlike them, the power the knowledge of the runes offered, was permanent.

The runes granted their wielder access to knowledge that he or she normally couldn't obtain, knowledge beyond the veils of limitation.

However, not all knowledge offered by the runes was the same, in fact, what I obtained, and what Thor obtained was unimaginably different in a fundamental sense.

You see, the knowledge the Runes provide to those adventurous enough to enter the roots of Yggdrasil depends on what a person has lived through. For example, in Odin's case, because he was a god, and had lived all of his life as one, he became all-knowing of the ways of the gods, because that was the only connection he really had.

For Thor, it was a bit different, because Thor himself, didn't consider himself a God, at least not completely, not anymore, he saw himself as a human as well, because of his connections to me, and because of this self-perception of humanity, he was allowed to gain even more knowledge than Odin giving him not only all the knowledge of the gods but also of humans, effectively making him omniscient in both the mortal and godly ways. 

My case?

It was a bit complicated, for the most part, I gained the same power Thor had gained, meaning, I was omniscient in both the mortal and godly ways, but what I had received from the roots, didn't stop there.

I had also gained something new, like the piece of a puzzle, something incomplete. And yet, something that felt, important.

Also, the ways of the Gods I had, for whatever reason acquired, were...very different from Thor's. I was omniscient alright but from a different pantheon.

Which brought another thing, the omniscient the roots offered, was limited to what the user was connected to, meaning Thor was all-knowing, in the Norse ways, and human ways technically.

Beyond that, the runes had also given me various skills, like the ability to will other beings into nothingness, the skill was called, [Erasure - MAX LEVEL].

Or, the ability to give life, like real life, to anything, or if no need, the ability to keep said life from extinguishing, like Odin did to Mimir's head. [Genesis - LV 1]

[Macro - LV 1] An skill that allows me to control others, with thoughts or words, I only need to be stronger, basically, mind control, but without the mind part.

[Time - LV 1] The ability to stop time, but without the time stone, the area of the skill is around country-sized, and it only affects those who are at least one hundred levels below me.

[Space - LV 1] The ability to control the space around me, but without the space tone.

[Fundamental Force: Strong Force - LV 1]  It allows me to manipulate the very force that binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei, basically I can create nukes with a thought, I think, haven't tried this one, or any of them for that matter.

[Fundamental Force: Weak Force - LV 1] It allows me to manipulate the forces of nature that underlie some forms of radioactivity. It basically allows me to the decay of unstable subatomic particles such as mesons, and such. 

[Fundemental Force: Electromagnetism - LV 1] With this, I can create, shape, and manipulate electromagnetism, which accounts for almost all physical phenomena observable to the unaided human senses, including, but not limited, to light, magnetism, and electricity. 

[Fundemental Force: Gravity - LV 1] With this, I can create, shape, move, control, interact with and manipulate gravity in a vast array of manners, molding the natural phenomenon in which all things with mass or energy like planets, stars, and light, attract or gravitate toward one another. 

Pretty cool powers, huh?

Well, yeah, I just had to level them up, most of them anyways, funny enough, Thor didn't get these skills, save for [Erasure], [Genesis], [Time], [Macro], and [Space], the rest of his skills were... more magical in a sense. 

I got the science side of the deal, I suppose.

"Daddy! I made more Revani!" Emily announced, as she entered my office, my Asgardian office, which was in its entirety made out of gold for the most part. Why? No idea, it was like that when I got it, maybe Thor flexing his money or something.

"You did?" I beamed at her, happy to eat more of that piece of heaven she had made, like, for real, the girl had a gift.

"Yep," Emily nodded, before snapping her fingers, making an entire cake of Revani appear out of nowhere.

I could already feel my mouth salivating more than normal.

"Well, don't mind if I do!" I grinned, snatching the cake off her hands.

"By the way daddy, have you eaten anything besides my cakes?" Emily asked, tilting her head to the side in pondering.

I nodded, as much as I loved sweets, I wasn't a fan of overeating a particular type of food, I enjoyed the variety, "Pizza, some tacos, the same as you, but in the office." I smiled.

Emily nodded, "By the way, by the laws of the walker house, section A, paragraph D, you owe Nat and I, ten days of undivided attention, which with interest comes to two weeks, and two hours, with fifteen minutes, and thirteen seconds."

I blinked, looking at her with my mouth full of cake, "What laws?" I chuckled.

"The laws from the book of rules Nat and I wrote, the Walker family rules, uncle Bucky is the editor," Emily nodded with a bright smile.

"I am!" Bucky shouted.

"So two weeks of undivided attention, huh?" I chuckled, ruffling her hair, "Sure, rules are rules, and I can't break them," I winked, closing my books and work stuff with the snap of my fingers.

As I did this, Nat entered the room, with an Asgardian flamethrower attached to her back, and war paint on her face like Rambo.

"Abort Nat! He said yes!" Emily shouted.

I raised an eyebrow at Emily before turning to Nat, "What were you planning to do with that? Get grounded?" 

"Grounded?" Nat asked before chuckling, "I see the confusion, this is no common flamethrower, this is a modified one, it shots Pepsi, and nothing more."

...What?

"Ok, I'm confused, what?" I asked.

"Well, our plan was to make your office so sticky with dry soda, that you would have no other option but to spend two weeks with us," Emily explained.

Their plan... was... highly... devious.

"Girls, you know all you have to do is ask... right?" I asked, perhaps they thought I had been distant lately? If so, I would make it my mission to remember them, I was, and would always be there for there.

"We know," Emily chuckled, waving me off, "But...."

"We like to scheme," Nat shrugged, "It's fun to plan contingency plans. Anyways, I'm off to Loki's room, Imma make his room sticky land!" Nat laughed before darting off to pursue her evil plan, her laugh, was an evil one.

"Hmm, I kind of want to see that," I muttered.

"Me too, movies can wait," Emily added, and so, we darted off to see Nat do her thing, we had popcorn and everything.
