Thunder

Natasha shrugs a little. “It’s nice to get paid, but you shouldn’t do the right thing for acknowledgement right? You do it because it’s the right thing to do.” She hands with a small smile and she keeps a hold of his hand. The touch from someone else was comforting and grounding. Nat needed it, because nothing really last and all this could be some weird twisted sort of hell. “Oh yea? Does this trick include Bifrosting into the middle of some store, snatching all the apple juice and then Bifrosting out?”

“Exactly! Cause that’s not what Heroes do,” Thor agreed nodding his head and squeezed her hand gently. “Ah not exactly,” He said with a little playful smile and looked down, he was wearing sweatpants and a shirt but he figured he looked decent enough, with his free hand he called on Stormbreaker and closed his eyes, sighing with relief when Stormbreaker came from the corner of the room and didn’t break anything on its path, he pulled Nat closer by the hand he was holding and opened the Bifrost. They appeared in the middle of Walmart and thor walked around pulling Natasha by the hand until he found the juice aisle. “Pick the one that you like best,” He prompted and once she had handed it to him, he squeezed her hand and then let it go, “Uh... You may need to step a little further away for the next part,” He advised as he made his way to the cashiers, he stood for a moment with a smile on his face until he noticed a woman looking at him to often and he approached with a smile. “Hello Ma’am, my name is Thor, son of Odin, God of Thunder and Avenger.” He made sure to stand a little taller and tense the muscles on his arms and chest. “I am not of this planet and I have no dollars... But I would really appreciate if you would be so kind as to buy this for me if you can.” He asked with his most charming smile and after she agreed and took a couple of pictures where she hugged him a little too close he thanked her once again and then turned to Natasha with a big smile as he waved the juice.

Scott narrows his eyes at the other man. He was rather…peculiar to say the least. A lot of the Avengers and SHIELD agents were a bit strange. Maybe because some of them come from other planets. Though he needed to get the information for Charles and head back to the mansion, something about a drink sounded appeasing. It was a rather long trip over here. “Yea, sure. I’ll take a drink.”

Thor smiled widely at the other guy and patted his shoulder, “Great!” He said before stepping back and clapping his hands. “There’s coffee or water, there’s wine,” He listed making a little face and shrugged before adding, “We got beer and I make awesome Bloody-Mary’s, I’m still learning on the Margaritas, mojitos and Piña coladas, do you heal? I ask before I know the ones that heal don’t get drunk easily, back before I had to be constantly drinking for it to have any sort of effect.”

Jane hums softly at the feeling of Thor’s fingers in her hair and she slightly jumps at his outburst about the Grandmaster. “Alright, so no meeting the hair cutting, people melting, cheating weirdo.” She repeats before pulling the blanket more around herself. “Sorry I asked.” Jane mumbles out lowly before succumbing to sleep. Finally.

Thor smiled as Jane finally fell asleep, he stayed like that for a couple of minutes, just enjoying the moment, the peace and quiet, there was a chance this was a one-time thing brought forth by the excess of alcohol in Jane’s body. He gently guided her off his leg and to the bed before making sure she was properly covered with the blanket before standing up from the bed.

“Goodnight Jane.” He whispered before going back to the kitchen where he had left Stormbreaker and walked out the door remembering their conversation about the Bifrost marks.

Scott first looks at the hand on his shoulder and then at the person in front of him. An Avenger, of course. It would be just his luck to have to run into one of them first. He politely rolls the stranger’s hand off of his shoulder and nods his head. “Right. Uh, well. I was looking for someone that could tell me about the status of our negotiation. Charles Xavier wants to know so he can decide what to do next. Do you know anything about it or someone who does?”

Thor smiled at the other guy not even noticing him removing his hand from his shoulder and just nodding along. “Ah I see the negotiations... Right of course, of course, of course.” He said chuckling. “I... Can’t really help you with that, it’s been some time since I was last involved in any sort of politics but I’m sure you can find someone that can help you around. Ah... Would you like to have something to uh drink... or eat? Watch some of the Television with me?”

Nat almost drops her sandwich when Thor engulfs her in a hug but she smiles nevertheless, patting his back gently. If this was anyone else she definitely would have put them in a headlock the moment they touched her face, but it’s Thor and Nat isn’t completely heartless. Emotions are running high and the redhead closes her eyes at the contact and his warmth and tries not to cry herself. “Yea, I know big guy.” She offers as a reply and steps back once Thor does and gives his hand a gentle squeeze. “So, I’m guessing we’re still not getting paid for all this hero crap then huh?” She asks, trying to lighten up the mood.

Thor smiled and squeezed Nat’s hand just as gently even though he wanted to hold onto he harder, he had lost so many things, and most of them didn’t come back and yet here she was and part of him was scared that this was a lie, a dream or something along those lines and he would wake up in a world where he had failed and she had given up her life, for real, forever. He smiled, it came off a little pained but he tried, “Helping others is the best paid?”  He half asked before turning serious. “You, my friend, you are a hero of the Universe and I swear to you that I will get you all the apple juice you want, even if we don’t find anyone with dollars, I... know a couple of tricks.”

Jane scoots closer to him, stops for a second but then moves closer to rest her head on his leg. She listens as he talks, taking in all the information that he’s telling her. “A few seconds equates to three weeks?” She asks, letting out a yawn before talking again. “We really have to go there now, or at least I have to study one of the portals that leads there because there’s so much science that needs to be discovered in that.” She blinks slowly a couple times before they close by themselves. “Grandmaster? Is he in New Asgard too, because I would like to meet him.”

Thor just shrugged, “I don’t really know but when I got there I was strapped to a chair and Loki had already networked around and gotten into... Uh... The Grandmasters good graces.” He said frowning at the memory, he tensed a little at first, when he felt the weight of her head on his leg but as he got lost in the memory of Sakaar and his tale, his hand fell, almost automatically, like a habit, to her head and he began runnings his fingers through her hair. “Ah, we will... But only if it’s safe, there are these scavengers that classify any live creature as fighter or food... NO! That man... No, I don’t know where he is but I hope he never sets foot on Earth, he is hair cutting, people melting, cheater weirdo.”

“Mhm, she does but that’s not the only thing.” Darcy says with a smile, pulling a twizzler out of her pocket and taking a bite before holding one out for him. She raises an eyebrow at Thor. “I think for right now I’m okay. Earth seems pretty cool, I’ll leave the space traveling to you, your crew and whoever else has the balls to do it.” Darcy smiles giving his chest a poke. “What were you watching?”

Thor wasn’t stupid... Well, not all the time and it depended on the subject and other things but most of the time he just enjoyed playing stupid, it made some things easier and it was entertaining, he was pretty sure he knew what Darcy was hinting at but he didn’t know how much she knew about what happened between him and Jane... Or why he knew Jane wasn’t exactly the most forthcoming about her feelings sometimes and so he squirmed nervously in place and nodded effusively, “Oh yes, of course, Jane loves many things, her job... we already said that, science, space, stars, sss... Strawberries?” He said and took the offered snack and shoved it all in his mouth. “It’s not that bad, just ask Bruce Banner, he was scared at first but I think that by the end of it he was actually enjoying it....” Of course, by the end of it, Asgard was destroyed and they were attacked by Thanos but he chose to omit that.

“Portals?” Jane repeats sleepily. “I do like portals but I don’t know if I would want to go through a portal that’s named the Devil’s Anus.” She says narrowing her eyebrows. “A melting stick? Like he melted people with it?” Jane pauses for a bit. “I wonder what energy mechanisms it has in order to melt a whole person.” She blinks a couple times. “We’re going to have to go there. Just for the portals.”

Thor sat on the bed next to Jane, resting his back against the headboard and smiled at her, “Portals, all around, Loki called upon his gatekeeper to bring us back to Asgard and Hela, my evil older sister, jumped in after us, she pulled Loki out first and a couple of seconds later she pushed me out of the Bifrost, we both ended up in Sakaar but Loki arrived there weeks before me. Time and space works differently there, I’m not sure how though... Yes, he melted this guy called Carlo and the smell was just... Awful.” Thor winced at the memory of the smell. “I never asked Korg what happened with Sakaar during the revolution or the Grandmaster but I’ll do next time I see him, he was very angry at me for stealing his Champion.”

Jane had left some contraption in her lab and she sent Darcy to get it. That was about a hour ago and the brunette got distracted by so many other things, that she’s totally forgotten what it was that the scientist had told her to get. Shrugging her shoulders, she sends Jane a text message asking what it was that she was suppose to get and then she waits as she walks around. She didn’t expect to see Thor, nor did she expect to be gripped by him either. But no complaints from her. Darcy smiles, patting his back gently. “Hey muscles. I’ve been good and I’ve missed you too. Maybe Jane can stop moping around now. How’s the adventures in space going?”

Thor smiled and shrugged, “Ah... Her work is very important and she... loves her work a great deal,” He said shaking his head a little before smiling at her, he rested his hand on her shoulder and squeezed softly. “The adventures in space are going good... We put a pause on... Space adventuring when we heard Earth was in trouble again, Jane was able to travel to space and see my home, and now I am the one that controls the Bifrost so if you ever want to visit another planet, let me know, it’d be my honor to space adventuring with you.”

Jane did not expect Thor to get into bed with her, but she isn’t going to complain. Once he’s settled she turns around onto her other side to face him. She’s always been drawn to his heat and this time isn’t any different, but she keeps the small space of distance between them. A yawn falls from her lips and Jane is trying to fight off sleep, but it’s consuming her quickly. “So…what other planets have you visited so far?”

Thor smiled. “Sakaar is no place for you to visit but I reckon you would have wanted to, the whole planet is filled with portals of different sizes that can take you to pretty far away places, to get back to Asgard on time we had to go through the Devil’s anus. Last time I was there we... ah instigated a revolution and there’s the Grandmaster and his melting stick but I think you’d probably want to go through every single portal.”
