It had been a long time since you had seen Thor, your beloved. Of course, there were times that you did not see for him for a few weeks, sometimes even a few months but this time it was different. Since the destruction of the Bifrost there were no calls, no pictures, nothing. Even when he went away to defend the universe you at least knew he was alive but ever since the both of you were sent hurtling through deep space, you didn't even know if he existed anymore. Of course, he was a god and as such he was not the easiest of people to get rid of, but, there was still a chance.

A shockwave of roars and cheers erupted from the audience of the arena as you entered. They had no idea who you were yet as soon as you stepped on the charred sand it was almost as if a volcanic eruption was taking place, the ground shook as they stomped their feet to a homogenous hum. It was hard to grip the weapons that the guards pushed into your chest on the way in here, sweat covered your palms and face, making it even more difficult to see.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." a gigantic projection appeared in the centre of the arena of a mysterious man, he looked important, "...it is with the greatest of honour that I announce our first contestant, all the way from Earth, Y/N Y/S/N." The thousands of people in the stands shouted louder than before. "There is no need for me to introduce the second competitor, he is after all, the reason you have all come to watch." Before the other fighter was even revealed the screams were almost deafening. "Ladies and gentlemen... THOR ODINSON!" Your heart sank deeply into your stomach. No. This couldn't be. The gates opposite you slowly ripped open to reveal that this strange man was not lying, through his peculiar hologram you could see Thor just... standing there. Tears welling in his hypnotic eyes.

"Watch the spectacle of the year as two star-crossed lovers beat each other to a bloody pulp. Enjoy." At that the projection disappeared and the crowd fell eerily silent. It did not take long before you found yourself running at him with outstretched arms. He caught you as you fell into his chest.

"I've missed you so much..." He threw off his helmet into the sand and squeezed you tightly. "... What did they do to your hair?" Your fingers ran daintily through his cropped hair.

"Do not worry about my hair, it will grow back." The projection appeared again out of thin air.

"Uumm... excuse me. I don't think you heard the part about beating each other to a bloody pulp?" He held a small remote control in his outstretched hand and with a press of a button, sent both you and Thor to your knees, the pain was excruciating as electric shocks ran up and down your body. "Better get to work you two, I can crank this baby up much higher."
