Who: Valkyrie & Thor
What: lunch
Where: picnic in the park
When: afternoon
Warnings: not really




Valkyrie had had fun building a blanket fort, which she has shown Lyra, too. She was enjoying the young girl, and her new role as amazing aunt. But she'd needed to
Recharge, she was not used to children, but she did already adore Lyra, she just needed to breathe. So she invited Thor out to lunch.

She'd packed a picnic that was enough food for two Asgardians to make a small dent in their appetites. Mostly sandwiches of steak and thick cut turkey. Nothing fancy just something to eat while laying in the grass in the park and trying to just relax.

Val was anxious about starting to work with Frigga on recovering her memories, and she'd been trying on her own. She sprawled out in the grass, sandals kicked off so her toes could curl in the soft grass. She was not in a dress today, thankfully, but she was in jeans and a tank top (no sweater shrug!), that showed off her arms and the Valkyrie tattoo. Her hair was nearly to the bottom of her ribs now, but she'd braided it into box braids adorned with runic beads and things that looked vaguely norse.

"I have been trying to remember things on my own. So far, I've remembered the recipie for Valkyrie healing salve. I thought I had long lost that one." She rolled her head to look at Thor, her expression softer.

Things had been good lately. Thor felt badly of course, because people whom he cared about had suffered greatly, but the entity had granted favor on Thor. His brother had come after months of hoping, his mother and sister and daughter were there and happy. His brothers-in-arms were there and as were most of their families. Valkyrie was there and Darcy and the people that he had come to know only in the city. He was content, and it had been a long time since he had felt so.

He’d made his way from SI to meet Valkyrie in the park between the two buildings, dropping himself down ungracefully on the grace near her as he reached out for a sandwich to gnaw on. He couldn’t help the excited twinkle in his eye as she revealed she had uncovered some memories of her time as a Valkyrie. He loved stories about the Valkyries.

“Oh. I can help you make some if you’d like to work out that knowledge. Unless it is a secret only to the Valkyries.” He knew that there were some things that were not shared outside of the Organization, and even if Valkyrie was the only one left, he would respect her wishes to follow the Oath if she chose to. “Any more of your time before taking the Oath?”

The memories of her time in the Valkyries were much easier to uncover, they hadn't been blocked by magic, only time. And alcohol. She'd find them all soon enough, she hoped.

Her eyes drifted for a moment before she smiled, "no you can help, there's a part only I can do. It involves my seidr, but, the rest I wouldn't say no to help with." She wasn't sure how much of some things she'd share, the Oath was still burning strong even if she was the last.

"Mmm no not yet. I still can't put names to the faces of the people in that portrait. I keep hoping I'll find something in it that makes me remember." A sheepish smile, "but no, nothing."

Thor’s eyes lit up at the confirmation that he could in fact help with Valkyrie things. It had been his dream, long before he had dreamed of being a ruler of his people. He wanted nothing more than to uphold the Oath of the Valkior, even if Loki was quick to point out that he could never be one. “Whatever I can do to help you,” Thor swore to her.

“They looked like kind people,” He said gently as he tore at his sandwich, “You can tell by the eyes. Plus, they made you soo.”

She looked up at him, happy to see that smile. She knew he'd wanted to help. To be one of the Valkior, though that wasn't possible, so this was something she could offer him that might help. "It will take time to find everything, I don't think the ingredients are too different here."

Her smile was softer, then, "they did look kind. Didn't they?" She laughed softly, "I hope to remember their names soon. I would like to know." Then she blushed, "what's that mean?" She asked with a playful grin.

“There are a bunch of magic herbs and things in the roof top garden.” He didn’t know much about the plants at all, nor which ones in particular were magical, but he knew that Hannah and some of the other people who made potions before had stored them up there for easy access. “There are normal midgardian plants there as well.”

He couldn’t help but grin at Valkyrie then, as she seemed to fall into a content look, “They did indeed.” He assured her, “They looked like you.” He said giving her a pointed look. “Believe it or not, Brunhilde, They must have raised a kind, fierce daughter because there is one right in front of me.”

"Oh that is perfect. I'll have to check it out. That would make this so much easier." She smiled up at him. She really was excited to try and to have him help her with it.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, "They'll did. They are certainly my parents. But you're adorable if you think I'm kind. I can be, but I'm selfish. Very very selfish, my friend."

"I'm sure there is someone who would know. Maybe ask Hannah? She works in the clinic and I believe she had something to do with its original creation." There was a light bulb that went off in his head, as he thought about some of the plants that grew at home, "Do you think that if we could get some seeds that some of the Agardian plants would grow here?" He was sure that his mother would appreciate that, and he couldn't help but want some of the things from home, even small things he'd barely considered before, like flowers.

Thor's smile grew. "Oh, yes, it was very selfish of you to swear yourself to the Valkyrie and my father. Selfish to bring my brother to me instead of hunting me down. It was very selfish of you to help me fend off the Sakaar fighters as we made our escape. It was very selfish of you to risk yourself to defend our people-- both on Asgard and on the Statesman. Even more selfish of you to run our settlement and help our people thrive in an entirely new environment while I failed to fulfill my duties as King. Tsk,Tsk. Selfish Queen Valkyrie."

"I think that they could grow here, aye. Perhaps some extra care, but it would be possible. Flowers, herbs. It would be nice to have that bit of home." she said wistfully, smiling softly. She liked the idea of planting things that would remind them of home. She looked thoughtful for a few moments, then nodded again, That would be nice.

She tried to make a face, then she only smiled faintly. "I like fighting. It seemed like a good thing to do!" she tried to argue, "I am selfish, you just don't get to see it - a few years of doing good doesn't erase centuries of being selfish, you know." she tried again to argue then rolled her eyes at him.

"But clearly the last few years have been less than selfish. Fierce, well, I will never argue that." she smirked a bit. "And knock it off - I was not raised for royalty and if we insist on reminding me I'm Queen I'm quitting" she threatened, she wouldn't of course, but her smile turned a little flirty.

“I will have to ask the entity one day.” He said thoughtfully, but he knew he had been pressing his luck, he had asked for so many things already, he had so much already, that he felt bad asking for even more. He had always been a little greedy, but he was still wary about what favors he might owe this entity.

“Oh, I know you like fighting.” He nudged her gently. “A few years of doing good doesn’t erase centuries of being selfish?” He repeated to her… and then it dawned on him, Valkyrie was long gone by the time Thor was in Asgard. She didn’t know of the arrogant, war hungry prince that he had been, she didn’t know of his selfishness and hedonism.

“What would you say about the Prince who wanted nothing more than glory? The selfish Prince who, when on a diplomatic mission to Midgard, convinced the natives that he and his brother were gods worthy of worship? The Arrogant Prince who thought he knew better than his father when it came to their kingdom that he lead his closest friends into battle against the Frost Giants and nearly got them killed. The Prince who was banished for starting a war after years of peace because he was vengeful. The Prince who put an entire town of Midgard in danger because he had brought the troubles of Asgard to them and was unable to adequately protect them? Several. Times.” There was an edge to his voice, it was the way he got when he spoke of his own failures. He ran a hand through his hair, or lack there of these days, before his hand sought out hers.

He simply raised her eyebrow at her, “Those not born to royalty often make better leaders anyway.” He told her squeezing her hand.

Valkyrie blinked.

Like, stopped moving and just stared at him. She hadn't been around, she'd been long gone before Thor was even a dream in his mother's mind. She'd been gone before Frigga had even been there. She had no idea of half the things he spoke of and she felt a pang in her heart that she hadn't expected to feel.

She hadn't expected to feel anything but annoyance at her own failures, and thoughts. She could be selfish but he trusted her and unloaded all of that on her and she just stared for a minute longer. She was just as hedonistic as any of them were, that must simply be a trait of any Asgardian, and the self-loathing, too. Her calloused fingers curled through his as he took her hand. Her eyes drifted down to that for a moment - her dark skin against his lighter skin, the contrast in both color and size made her smile a touch.

"Oh, Thor," she said softly, softer than her voice ever had been before. She was unsure of what she was supposed to do - she understood all of that. How everything felt. "Such a family trait, shouldering everything yourself and not remembering you have people to lean on and share it all with. We are both fucked up, aren't we?" she said ruefully, shaking her head a bit, then used the fact he was holding her hand to pull him to her.

If he thought she was going for a hug, he was in for a surprise as she reached up and pulled his face down to hers. Turns out, the Valkyrie was feeling a lot right now, and some of that was the thick walls around her heart-melting, letting someone in, where no one had tread in a very, very long time. All those feelings? Got channeled into a kiss. Her kiss was as fierce as she was, trying show him that she was there for him, would always be there for him.

His. And hers.

Thor couldn’t help but chuckle about their common traits. “We are fucked up,” He admitted gently, “But hey, at least we are fucked up together.” He assured her. And he meant it, he was loyal to his people, and Valkyrie had always been one even more so recently.

Thor had been surprised enough when Valkyrie’s voice dropped and she pulled him towards her. He had been anticipating a hug, but when her lips hit his he couldn’t say he was disappointed. There was a buzz of electricity between them as he pulled her closer to him, his hand moving behind her head.

Thor pulled away for a second, letting out a soft breath as he looked at her. He couldn’t deny the feelings that he felt for her in that moment. Carefully, he ducked his head forward again to brush his lips against hers.

They really had a lot in common. And so did most of the members of the royal family. It was just how it went. But that made her like them all the more. She was a fitting addition, to be fair.

Val threw caution to the wind, it wasn't like she was terribly cautious to begin with anyway, and not for a moment did she wonder if she fucked up the moment. And certainly not after he pulled her closer, which caused her to grin.

She offered him a small smile as he leaned back to look at her, that one wasn't soft though, it was daring. There was a satisfied little hum as he brushed his lips back over hers, and she let him have that moment of softness. She reined herself in, a little.

Her voice was quiet, a hairs breadth from his lips, "It's good to have someone as fucked up as I am. It helps." She punctuated the statement with another kiss, a little stronger.

Thor knew that smile, it was a challenge, and Thor would never back down from a challenge. He shot her his own smirk as she spoke. He leaned into her kiss, his lips moving firmly against hers. He put an arm around her waist, and shifted back, pulling her into his lap .

He shifted kisses onto her jaw, nipping lightly at her. “You will have me for as long as you want me near you.” He affirmed to her. “For as long as you will have me, and then for some time more because I am stubborn.” His mouth returned to her lips, nipping at them gently.

She lived to challenge people, no one more so than her closest friend. He'd get no complaint as he pulled her into his lap, instead only a laugh that was honey sweet. She was amused, again, at how small she felt.

Her head tilted into the kisses along her jaw, her arms draping over his shoulders. "You, my lord, are perhaps even more stubborn than I. I have no desire to rid myself of your company, so you are stuck." She grinned and nipped back, before resting her forehead on his.

Thor rested his forehead against hers with a small smile on his face, the hand that was on the back of her head moved to cup her cheek, it was soft under he calloused hands. .He couldn’t remember the last time she laughed like she had, or smiled so freely and being the cause of that made him feel warm.

His heart was pounding in his chest. Thor was still struggling with the notion that he didn’t deserve this, whatever this was. He was more than happy to get lost in the moment, the feeling of her, if he didn’t have to think. But her words were both a reassurance and a worry. Could he keep her happy or would he fall on his face again? Would he be a disappointment to her?

“My Queen,” Thor said gently, “There is not another soul to which I would rather be stuck.”

There wasn't much that made her smile warmly, or laugh freely. Oh, she laughed and smiled, it just rarely met her eyes. She was a private person, and she knew how broken she was, emotionally speaking. She had a lot of reasons she tried to bury. Letting Thor in was hard.

She didn't think she deserved to be happy herself. People she cared about tended to die. She didn't expect that to happen here but still. The worry lingered.

"My Prince, you do nothing in halves." She teased gently, then added, "you help make my soul feel alive again. I thought I would be resigned to just being an angry person."

Thor was more than happy to take in this moment together, the warm are and the nature of the park surrounding them. It was easy to forget about the things that had happened for most people, but Asgardian’s lived for so long that their faults ran deep, almost unchangeable after centuries. Still, he smiled. Maybe here, away from Asgard and war from the wars, they could both allow themselves the things that Thor wasn’t sure he deserved.

He pressed another small kiss to her lips with a content sigh. “I have never been one to not give my everything.” He told with a small smirk, “You may continue to be an angry person, Hilde, but you are my angry person. And I will be happy for the two of us.”

They nursed hurts, grudges and slights for centuries, and in Val's case, she'd gotten really good at hiding all of that behind a wall of angry at everything. Change came either slowly to Asgardians, or with the force of a volcano or earthquake: fast, violent and unrelenting. But Val certainly didn't think she deserved love or acceptance, her hurts were so old, it was hard to know where to begin.

She relaxed a smidge at the small kiss, smirking a little after. "I should try to be less angry. Maybe a little." She smirked a little more broadly, "I'm your angry person, huh?" She nudged him, teasing.

“Oh no,” Thor said, an attempt at being serious belayed by the teasing tone that shown through, “If you were any less angry, Valkyrie, than people might begin to think that you were approachable, and we couldn’t have that.” His eyes twinkled.

Thor’s arms sat around her waist, and squeezed her slightly as she repeated his words. “You are. My very angry, very beautiful, Queen.”

She snickered at his attempt, "the list of people I'm approachable by needs to stay very short." Like, six people long, Thor, Loki,Bruce, Steve, Torunn, and one small Banner!child. She gave him a look, rolling her eyes a little. "Can't ruin my reputation, Thor! I worked hard for that."

She rolled her eyes even more, moving to press a kiss to his forehead. "I suppose I'll accept that description, though we can lay off the Queen - I'm just me, here, you know." Then, quietly, "I'm not easy to handle, you know."

“Do not worry, I think that you are still as terrifying now as the day you arrived. Maybe more so, People have seen you fight now.” He grinned. Valkyrie fighting… was an intense image, maybe more so to those who weren’t used to Asgardian warriors.

“Being Queen is part of being you.” He teased her gently, pressing a kiss to her temple. It was funny that he couldn’t stop his affection now that it had finally happened. “I’m not easy either. We’re Asgardian.”

"I suppose that's fair." She grinned widely, she was proud to be someone people were scared of. She liked it that way, they each had their little quirks and she had cultivated hers for centuries, Sakaar did little to make it better, only worse.

She have him an exasperated sigh, "I'm not going to win this one, am I?" She asked as she tilted her head to kiss his cheek, she was still the more private of the two, but for the moment she was basking in the attention. "That... Is also fair, we are not the easiest people. We tend to dig our heels in for a very long time, and either change as slow as glaciers or like a violent explosion"
