Everything Happens for a Reason

Thunder or Lightning?

Chapter 8

I walk out of my room, and into the kitchen. I was startled to see Thor there and so I figured I'd talk to him.

"Hey." I smiled at him. He glanced at me, stuffing his mouth with strawberry poptarts... My strawberry poptarts! "What are you doing?" I ask trying to stay calm.

"Eating the delicious poptarts! I just finished the box!" He said excitedly.

"Look Thor, God of Lightning, I don't care who or what you are, you don't touch MY poptarts!" I cried he looked almost scared, but quickly recovered.

"I'm sorry, they weren't labeled and no one told me." He took a sip of his coffee and waited for my response.

"Sorry I yelled at you. I'm just tired, Steve worked me like one of Fury's goons! I mean I am starting to think getting the bag off the hook isn't worth the time." I sighed.

"Oh, and by the way I'm the God of Thunder, not Lightning." He handed me the empty poptart box, not knowing what to do with it.

"Thanks Thor." I throw the box out, look at his muscles and start to wish I was a god.

"So do you eat poptarts often?" He asks.

"Every morning, I call it my breakfast desert, you know what I mean, because its sweet but made for breakfast." I laugh and he smiles at me. "So um, I'm sorry about your brother. And that you haven't seen Jane in about a year."

He looks at me. As if concentrating really hard on what to say, " it's not your fault."

"Ya, I know, but still you're on Earth you should get to see Jane, and your brother isn't being fair."

"Look I'm sorry if this is rude, but I kind of don't want to talk about, because then I just remember, I ruined both Loki's and Jane's life." Thor sighed then looked at me.

"You didn't ruin either of their lives, Jane loves you... I think, and Loki loves you too, he just hasn't realized it, because he's drowning in anger." I explained.

"Jane, thinks she loves me, but I just..."

"Thor, stop, Dr. Selvig talks about how much she cares about you all the time, and she even does her research on Asgard and Norse mythology, she DOES love you." I say trying to convince him.

"And what about Loki, how do you know he cares about me?"

"Well, that's obvious, he cared about you before all of this happened. If all this were to just disappear he would love you again."

"But this won't disappear!" Thor said losing his patients.

"You never know, maybe when his dream to rule the world fails he will want to go home, and maybe just maybe, he'll actually care again. About everything, Asgard, you, Odin, Sif, The Warriors Three!" Thor looked surprised at how much I knew. " When my dad, met you in New Mexico, I started to do my research, in case I ever met you." He nods his head.

There was a long silence, when Thor and I just sat there looking around the room. It was strange, talking to a god, but it was easier to talk to Thor than Loki.

"So, um is there anything that I can do to repay you for the poptarts?" Thor asks wanting to break the silence.

"Oh, um, no that's okay. Just if you're gonna eat my poptarts, please don't eat it, without telling me?" It was more of a question, but Thor just laughed as if to say, I wont. He smiled at me.

There was another long pause, neither of us saying a word. I started to think I should leave but then Thor cleared his throat.

"So, how long have you worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"Um, well, I started last year after my mom died. I had always wanted to be an agent, but my parents were too protective. After she died, my dad realized I had to be able to protect myself." I shrugged not knowing what else to say.

"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss."

"Don't be, I'm over it." I started to get upset, this always happened, I could be having a normal conversation, and then they would start apologizing, and it made me have to remember that it was my fault she died!

"Okay. How was your morning so far?"

I was annoyed, I didn't care who I yelled at. "Thor go! You don't HAVE to keep this conversation going! Now leave me alone!" I didn't realize, that I just yelled at a god. A god that was away from home to help our world. A god that lost his brother! And left his family and friends. "Thor, I am terribly sorry."

"No, don't be, really." He smiled and started laughing. I looked at him confused. "You're funny when your mad." He said continuing to laugh. I started to laugh with him, because his laugh was just so funny... And loud.

"Okay, I'm still sorry."

"No, you made my day. Thank you for everything!" Thor left still laughing.

The awkward silence made me start to think, Fury will send Natasha into Loki's cage, to find out what he wants to accomplish on this helicarrier, and that's when I will return the journal!

Okay, I know it wasn't the BEST ending, but I couldn't think of a different way. And spoiler, next chapter has two awesome men in a lab!!!! Please comment and vote!!!
