There was a moment where Thor did little but stare forward blankly. Perhaps it was broken with a blink or two. However, despite the matter-of-fact delivery in Peggy’s speech, Thor could almost sense a bitter venom in her words. From the preservation of her photograph, he knew this woman must have been important to Steve. But was there something else there. And what exactly was starting up here? It was in that moment the conundrum of finding himself attracted to a woman holding shared history with a dear friend presented itself. But he wouldn’t dwell on those thoughts.
Thor had probably heard mention of Project Rebirth during a huddle with the Avengers at some point over the year. Though, that’s not to say he would be able to define what it was, if put on the spot. To be perfectly honest, there were still moments where Midgard jargon stewed together to make perfect gibberish for Asgardian ears. However, from Peggy’s, Thor managed to piece together an affirmation of her SHIELD claim to fame with reference to the Captain America as well as the family Stark.
“I was not on Earth to attend your funeral, but sensed a change in Steve Rogers that only comes from a great loss.” Thor offered a solemn nod, but then the morbidity of his words began to creep in. “Sorry, that was probably weird to hear. If it helps, from what I have been told you were mourned in the fashion of a brave warrior.”
Another moment passed, the blank stare re-emerging. “That didn’t help.”
