There were many things Andromeda dwelled over while she remained trapped on Sakaar. But the major one was definitely not staying on Asgard when the Kong’s first born son had asked. The silver-haired woman mentally cursed herself for centuries for being so foolish as to declining his request and wanting to return back to Nibiria, only to get sucked out of the aircraft and landing in a strange planet.

The thing is, she never really knew why she said no to Thor. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him because she did without a doubt, but she never understood why her mouth couldn’t utter the words she wanted to say.

And when the first born son had arrived on Sakaar, all of Andromeda’s feelings rushed in like a wave. From the moment she laid eyes on him after all those years, she remembered every kiss they shared and every night they spent together as if it didn’t happen so long ago. But she couldn’t afford to focus on that while they were coming up with their fool-proof plan to escape the savage planet, defeat the goddess of death, and rescue the people of Asgard.

Once they did, Andromeda and Thor waited for a moment to speak alone. It took a couple of hours for everything to calm down, and there they were in his chambers, as if history were repeating itself.

“I wish I never left Asgard that day,” she admitted, feeling a weight being lifted from her shoulders after keeping it in for so many years. “I wish I stayed with you.”

Thor shook his head as he slowly approached her. “No, no, it was selfish of me to ask that of you when you put your planet’s needs before your own. A good queen knows what’s best for their planet and that’s all you were trying to do.” He stopped a few steps away from her, towering her small height.

Andromeda smiled. “Well now it’s your turn to choose what’s best.”

“I think I’ll be pretty good at that.” The god smirked down at her as she scoffed at his overly-confident response. “After all, all my choices lead me to you.”

Everything seemed to stop as those words left his mouth. They gazed at each other, but in a different way than usual. It was as if seeing each other from another perspective, one where they both know where they stood with each other. It was foreign concept to them, but Andromeda and Thor were open to that change.

In the end, it wasn’t a repeat of history. This time, they were finally ready and able to move forward. No more games, no more agreements.
