Post-Ragnarok, details in profile~

[theladywho]

Look. I don't care about whatever timeline crap you've strung together to explain how she and I can have existed at the same time. Two years ago a wave of robotic, phallic looking aliens ravaged New York City. Last week, a guy came into the ER with an intact balloon animal stuck near his prostate. People suddenly like the Clippers. My suspension of disbelief is high.

But here's what I don't accept: being some kind of incubator for a dead god. I'm a real, whole person.

So, you can go fuck yourself. Because The Lady Sif being reborn? It sounds an awful lot like Sarah Whittaker dying. And I don't believe in any sort of world that would expect me to be okay with that.

[slaughterdew]

Certainly the Lady Sif would not expect such a sacrifice.

[The idea of a world without Sif--it is painful, yes, but Thor is not his brother. These mortals have every right to their own lives, and Sif would never ask for one to sacrifice themselves for her. She is too noble and true for that.

So he aches. But this is what he must say, childish hope be damned.]

[theladywho]

[Sarah takes a long moment to answer. Because -- who looks like that? Just. What actual person looks like that?]

I don't care what the Lady Sif would have expected, either way. She's dead. I'm sorry, but people die every day and it sticks.

...you're one of them?

[slaughterdew]

I am Thor, yes. Lady Sif is--was, in your world--one of my dearest friends.

[This is the fashion you're missing, Sarah!

...that's probably not an incentive.]

I understand your anger. I, too, would be outraged. If there is any way I could be of aid, Sarah, you need only ask.

[theladywho]

[She was referring more to entire...muscle, hair, viking package. It's actually providing some perspective for some of her more terrible dating choices.

All the same.]

And why should I believe you? For all I know, you up and took over somebody's body too.

[slaughterdew]

You have my word I did not.

[RUDE, MORTAL. And Thor is blissfully oblivious. He's ...usually like that.]

And I will not allow such to happen to you if I have any power in the matter.This, too, I vow.

[theladywho]

I don't have any reason to trust your word. If our positions were reversed and I had a friend hiding out in you, it would make sense to try and gain your trust.

[Sarah doesn't actually have any friends, at the moment. But if she did, she can certainly imagine playing someone for a fool to try and get them back.]

[slaughterdew]

I am Thor Odinson.

[Does he LOOK like Loki? Come on. Sillybuns.]

Surely you have heard tales of the Avengers.

[theladywho]

Good for you! That's a nice name!

[What is a Loki even?]

I've heard that Captain America is very handsome.

[slaughterdew]

This is so. Steve son of Rogers even defeated me in a 'hottest Avengers poll'. It was a hard fought battle, but his victory brought me great joy, for it denied the Man of Iron much empty talk of his superiority! If only Rogerson would make use of his title--

[Wait, he's off track.]

I keep my word, Sarah. I would never dishonor my family or companions with deceit.

[theladywho]

Really? Because, you've got the whole [she gestures generally in Thor's direction] all of that. Happening.

[And then she shakes her head, because this is not the fucking time.] That's your prerogative, then. But there's a whole group of incredibly well funded cultists out there who disagree.

[slaughterdew]

[He is so not immune to flattery, so he beams.]

I believe it was the Captain's boyish charm that won the day, but I am flattered.

[And then wait, what?]

Cultists?

[theladywho]

Cultists. You're Gods. Yeah, cultists come with the package.

[slaughterdew]

No true followers of Thor would practice nor preach deception. You must tell me of them, so I may root them out.

[theladywho]

They think I'm the vessel of your wife and they're still a giant group of dicks to me. I don't think your opinion really factors in.

[slaughterdew]

My--

[What?]

They are most mistaken. I will put a stop to this at once.

[theladywho]

I didn't write the books!

If you want to put a word in, great. They call themselves Hydra.

[slaughterdew]

Hydra?

[This? This is the face of god rage.]

This will not stand. Mark me, Lady Sarah, they will trouble you no longer. I will bring the lightning down upon them, and they will know the true Thor trucks not with their wickedness.

[theladywho]

[That is...nearly as bad as her angry face.

Why is it so attractive?]

You're speaking like you already know them.

[slaughterdew]

The Captain has described them to me.

[Nazis? Yeah, fuck them.]

That they persist and continue in their schemes is unacceptable. We will rout them and tear out the roots of their evil.

[theladywho]

..."we?"

I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm human. Trying to stay that way.

[slaughterdew]

I would not involve you, you are but a mortal physician. I speak of the Avengers.

[This is him trying to be polite.]

[theladywho]

[Oh, fuck that and fuck you, Thor. She darts her eyes from side to side, clearly thinking about running for it.]

So I'm on the radar of whatever shady government organization keeps you all from being sued? No thank you. I'm out.

[slaughterdew]

[Thor stands firm. He will also follow you if you run for it, Sarah, you're not done here.]

That is not your decision. If Hydra has an interest in you it is our duty to keep you safe, regardless of whose soul you harbour.

[theladywho]

[Says YOU, Thor. Sarah blinks. Thinks about it.

And then runs the hell out of there.]
