This is the story of what would have happened if Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, had actually been pulled out of the crater. If then, by who, how and also, what the heck happened next! And that's the reason there's a story, so all these questions can be answered.

She was going to start college in September, at this point it was the middle of June and she had decided to visit her godparents who lived in a small town in New Mexico. Her name was Matilda Belle House, she and her friends would actually watch the TV series House and joke about Matilda and the character House having the same name. She was 5'6 with chocolate brown eyes and hair that was a muddy brown in color and all she was, was an average graduate who was going on a trip to a small town in a state South West of her own home state. This all seems like the basic information people would know and everything did seem to be going okay, until her rental car over heated.

"Great, this is just fantastic. What are you going to do now Mati?" she said to herself.

There was only one thing she could do, which was walk up the road a bit and find some place where she could get help. "Well feet, let's start moving." She said aloud to herself and then began to walk.

When she had walked for fifteen minutes or so she stumbled upon at least two pick-up trucks parked around a ditch. Matilda, relieved, walked toward the trucks and saw two men standing by one of the trucks looking into the ditch, which on closer inspection by Matilda was actually a crater. And in the crater was a large silver hammer.

"You were right Tim, that thing won't budge." The one man in a blue flannel shirt said to the man in a baseball cap.

"Well, didn't I tell ya Greg?" Tim said to Greg.

"Sirs, excuse me, I hate to trouble you but my car broke down and I was wondering if you could help me?" Matilda asked.

"Hi, I'm Greg and this is Tim. You're not from around here are you?" Matilda shook her head.

"Of course we'll help. Where's your car exactly miss?" Tim asked her. She told the men what they needed to know. Greg stayed with her as Tim went to tow her rental car into town, "What's that thing in the crater?" Matilda asked as they sat in Greg's car with the AC on. Greg had brown hair with bits of gray in it; he smiled and told her it was some sort of satellite that Tim had found and that when he tried to pick it up, it wouldn't budge.

"Do you think I could give it a try?" Matilda asked, Greg laughed a bit,

"I don't see why you can't, so go ahead and give it a try. I'm gonna wait here though so if something does happen, give me a holler." He said as he closed his eyes and leaned back in his car seat.

Matilda walked down into the crater and approached the object at its center. It seriously looked a lot more like a big hammer then a satellite, either way she gripped the handle of it with both hands and was prepared for a lot of resistance. Instead of resistance though, she was surprised that it was actually pretty light. Matilda swung the hammer like a baseball bat a couple of times, not knowing that storm clouds were shading the skies.

She held it with one arm above her head,

"Hey Mr. Greg!" she called out but then there was a peal of thunder and lightning lit the sky and hit the hammer, Matilda looked up at the hammer, then there was a bright white and iridescent light that had a force that pulled her upward. It felt like she was leaving the ground. As she was pulled upward by the weird force she became clothed in some crazy kind of armor. Oddly enough as all this was going on she thought of the song Down the Rabbit Hole, from the Broadway musical, Wonderland.

Then she fell upon the floor of some big, gold dome shaped room with a platform at the center of it. On the platform stood three men, on who was tall with an odd helmet, dark skin and piercing amber eyes, next to him stood a man with a silver eye patch, gray hair and also wore an odd helmet.

The old guy to her looked a lot like Sir Anthony Hopkins.

And the third man had black hair, was pale with green eyes and wore gold armor and a green cape. This reminded Matilda of her home team, the Green Bay Packers.

This guy definitely looked like a packer fan from something out of a Marvel comic book.

"Uuuhhh. Hi, um. Where exactly am I, is my first question and the second, am I in trouble?" Matilda asked as she looked up at the three men from her place on the floor.

"No child. You are not in any trouble, thank you for alerting me Heimdall." The old man with the eye patch said to the tall, freaky eyed guy. Who nodded and left the dome like room and stood at the entrance.

"Loki help the poor girl up, it is obvious the trip through has left her a bit disoriented." The older man said to the younger, who left the platform to where Matilda laid on the floor.

"Thanks," she told him as he helped her up, "Why exactly am I here and where is here anyway?" Matilda questioned.

"Why you are here because you now wield the hammer of Thor, Mjolnir. This dear girl is Asgard, the realm eternal."

"Say what! What do you mean Asgard? What do you mean hammer of mouse beard or whoever! I must be hallucinating because of the heat; yes that's exactly what this is. Heh, heh, heh." She laughed and then passed out into the arms of Loki.

"Father, this is supposed to be the new ruler of Asgard, a mortal woman?" Loki asked, confusedly.

"Yes, but if Mjolnir chose her, she is worthy. She is no Odinson though, so she will have to be married into the family." Odin said to his son.

"I am to marry a mortal, surely you cannot be serious?"

"I am Loki. There is no point to argue about it. You two will be married and will rule Asgard together when the time comes for me to step down if Thor has not returned."

"Will he ever return father?" Loki asked as he walked up to the platform with the mortal girl in his arms.

"I hope that one day he may, I grieve the loss of your brother but his actions had to be dealt with, do you understand?" Loki bowed his head a bit as he replied

"I understand."

A.N. – This story is set after Thor is banished but before Loki really finds out he's a Jotun. Keep reading if you want to know what happens, more chapters soon.
