WHAT WHOA WTF
WHERE park field
WHEN Day 70?? (look, qm time is fucked,)

[rrrRRRrrruummbbbllllll

CRACK-POW!

Wow. It's like an insane bolt of lightning just struck the dead center of the open field. No one was THERE, except for two dudes, holy shit did that one guy get struck??????

oh, he seems fine. despite ...still crackling. okay. Thor simmers the electricity down, letting it crackle over his skin and zap from his fingertips to the ground.]

Hhah. You know, that feels pretty good actually, when there's no stakes attached.

Well. Probably still sour about the, second tier friend thing.

Probably, yeah.

[pats him on the back.]

If it helps, Loki and I changed our relationship to a romantic one after a thousand years of brotherhood, only for him to temporarily forget days after before we could truly work through it, and now he's been dating Stark for decades instead.

[omg Thor your life]

You know you've definitely got it worse than me.

[snorts and elbows him]

Yeaah that one stings a little. Can't even be mad at anybody. Totally willing to be, too.

Well I wouldn't hold it against you if you are.

[snorts. Glad Steve is at least being chill about Thor's end of this. Although he is a bit, surprised, and studying Steve with his remaining eye.

Is he reading this right?]

At least he is alive, and we're together.

What of ah... [gestures to Steve and Heavenly grounds] You and Stark, were you ever...

Oh--we, no. No it's not like that with us.

[Though he's flushing at the thought]

[raising his eyebrows??]

Oh. Sorry, my mistake. He's, you know, open, so had to check. Get the gossip brewing right away.

Yeah, no. It's not your fault. Tony's like that. But you know he had Pepper back before everything that happened.

[oh shit i think i'm rolling a successful perceptive check!! why can't i brag to loki about this particular check?! hy is this my LIFE. Is having one eye actually making me more perceptive. I guess it could be my character growth. but it's probably the eye metaphor]

Right, right. Er. Well, he's open now, so it was possible he was back then.

[why are you even bringing up that possibility???]

You know I tried not to ask too much about his private life?

Maybe that's why it didn't come up?

Yeah. That could be it.

If you never talked about it...

[vague gesture]

Then it might follow you're not interested.

I'm not interested, it just seems like the kind of thing you'd mention.

He told me when he and Pepper were having a hard time. He used to trust me with that kind of thing, that's all.

[=(

friends growing apart =( ]

I see.

... Was he worth it? Your assassin friend you protected.

He is worth it. He's still around.

If you went to the exhibit you would have seen him, Bucky Barnes.

[rack his memory briefly. Well, there was only one friend who had stood out in the exhibit...]

Your friend that died? He survived?

Survived and got captured by Hydra again. They brainwashed him, froze him. Used him to do their dirty work through the years.

He stared to come back to himself, but we still haven't found a way to undo the conditioning.

. . .And that's what cost Stark his parents' life. That's awful.

[he lets out a heavy breath]

We'll get through it. Once we get out of here, we'll find a way.

... I don't doubt it. Is there anyone else you can trust on the outside with him?

Yeah, he's with someone we trust.

Good. Least you don't have to panic while we're trapped.
