Who: Bruce and Valkyrie
What: catching up!
Where: his place
When: backdated! early April.
Notes: completed
Since Bobbi left this dimension, Bruce had been largely keeping to himself, reverting to his old habits of spending the majority of his time in his lab when he wasn’t on duty at the clinic. He knew it probably wasn’t the most healthy of coping mechanisms, but it worked for him and his number one priority was keeping the Other Guy at bay.
Today, though, he was in his kitchen, cooking up a feast since he had plans to catch up with Valkyrie. They hadn’t spent much time together in this universe and he was glad for the opportunity to correct that.
When she knocked, he opened the door, wearing an apron, spatula in hand, and offered her a grin. “Come on in,” he said. “Dinner will be ready in a few minutes.”

Valkyrie hadn’t been terribly social upon her arrival - she’d had a lot of things thrown at her at once - and none of them were expected. More or less, anyway. She’d easily fallen into working hard, it wasn’t much different than she had been doing at home. Being King still meant working her fingers to the bone to keep things running. Now, though, she saw an end to the title on the horizon and could look forward to, somewhat, relaxing.
Though she still wasn’t sure what Thor’s plans were on that front.
She had been coming to terms with Loki. That was unexpected. And it took a bit to wrap her brain around, a lot of pieces fell into place though once she got past the front he liked to put up. Things made more sense. Bruce’s offer of dinner had been a good distraction from trying to juggle all those things, though. So she showed up on time, bearing gifts of wine and something non-alcoholic. She didn’t drink nearly as much as she used to. “Thank you - it has been too long all together.” she stepped inside, smiling a bit.
