Diana was not one to make guesses. She did not like to assume things, and instead preferred having the necessary information to work with before she had an opinion. About anything. But based on Thor’s reaction to what she’d said, if she’d had to summon a guess... no, he hadn’t known that. Whether it was because no one had ever told him or he had simply been unable to accept it didn’t matter.
“Good,” she said softly, as he nodded, and she didn’t care that it probably wasn’t actually true. Something had happened here, something had shifted, but it was too personal for Diana to know what it was or ask further questions. Evidence that she did not know Thor well enough to feel this strongly, and yet it was evidence cast aside.
There was a meme, she believed they were called, that the humans often used. She’d been sent it so many times she could’ve cried, because it had seemed silly and over dramatic and wildly out of character for her to enjoy. It was a woman, some scene from a show. Brooklyn 99 was the title, but Diana hadn’t ever actually watched it, so that escaped her.
In any case, the sentiment ‘I’ve only had blank for a day and a half, but if anything happens to him, I’ll kill everyone in this room and then myself’ suddenly meant more to her than it ever had, and there was a rueful little smile on her face as she pulled Thor into another tight hug. Because he seemed to need it, and she knew that she did, and because it was another excuse to feel him in her arms, to let her head rest on his shoulder and bury her face in his hair and pretend this was all there was or ever would be.
Even the ghost of Steve Trevor looking on with incredulous and angry eyes could not distract her, and Diana had simply closed hers. “You should know that, because it’s the truth, and I’m even sorrier if I’m the first one to tell you.”
That said, Diana released him from the hug before she sank any further into it and refused to release him at all, but she kept hold of his hand as she began walking again. “Tell me a good memory. It doesn’t matter if I understand all of it or not. I want to see you smile again.”
