A man sat, huddled over the last table, finishing the last of his soup. He wore a tattered trenchcoat and a winter hat, immune to the warm weather of an early summer. As Thor Odinson wiped down the chair across from the man, he looked over and gave him a warm grin, his face wearing the summer's blessing.
The man looked up, linked eyes, grunted, and set his spoon down. He picked up his napkin and dotted his ragged, lined face, clearing up nothing, as none of the soup had missed its mark. He was in no rush.
"It is that time again, Son of Wil!"
"Yer so damn punctual."
Thor placed the cleaned chair upside down on the table. "The doors open again tomorrow morning. There are bunks next door if you need a place to rest thy head, Son of..."
"It's Laurence. Just Laurence."
"Friend Laurence, this dance is an old one. Do you think I will ever tire and relent?"
"Yeah."
Thor laughed. The sound echoed off the old walls of the Park Row Homeless Shelter's dining room. "I have walked the endless glittering fields of my home realm. I have marched through snows that would bury Gotham twice over! Fought hordes of frost giants and dark elves.... bandied with gold-worshipping dwarves in deep caverns, traded insults with the wily Loki, and faced down the fierceness of the Lady Sif! You will not best me tonight."
The man let out a sigh, one of exasperation and resignment. Defeated again, without blows and malice. "You win."
"I am Thor."
"Yep. You thure are, boy." Then the man walked off, through the double doors, as another passed him in.
Thor did not feel the dark malice at first, noticing the shadow out of the corner of his eye. "We are closed, friend. Please come back tomorrow!" He stopped wiping off the table, and looked up slowly, his sky blue eyes catching. As feelings of hope and concern descended upon him simultaneously, Thor gazed upon the visitor.
