Who: Dudebrocheezwizard and Valkyrie
Where: Saks Fifth Avenue
What: Fight things.
When: Right after Tony's announcement.
Status: Complete
Warnings: Y'all Asgardians play hard. There are entrails. And bits of brain. Booyah. Thor and Valkyrie did not kill one another.
Saks under attacks
Mjolnir in one hand, Stormbreaker in the other, it had only taken Thor a few minutes to realize that Midgard had been invaded. Not by mere mortals, evil though they might be, but by creatures so foul that their reek had altered him to their arrival almost immediately.
Leaving the tower, Thor heard the unmistakable, deep throated bellow of a Bilgesnape..... and then a moment later the answering roar of a fire troll. The thought of what those beasts could do to the fragile bodies of the Midgardian people enraged him.
Striding up Fifth Avenue, he felt the presence of another, "Shield Maiden," he acknowledged as they approached Saks and the chaos that had erupted in front of it.
He gave her a brilliant smile, "After you," as the familiar rush of lighting crashed through his veins.

She took the bottle back and took a drink for herself, dark eyes closing for a moment. Savoring the burn as it slid down her throat. Then slowly she opened them, looking more like a wild predator as she leaned forward, invading his personal space. "You already are worthy. The question is how hard you'd work to stay there."
Things were getting into serious territory, which made her want to bolt. She stood, metaphorically speaking, her ground instead. "I don't let the unworthy lay their fingers upon my leg." Her hand shot down to wrap her fingers around his, dragging it up off the injury to her knee.
This woman had once tossed a net over him, slapped an obedience disc to his neck and dragged him in as bounty. She'd also stood shoulder to shoulder with him and his brother as their world crumbled to ash.
He let his hand rest where she'd put it, "Working to remain worthy is all I can do, Hilde. It's all I have left to do." Thor's smile was self deprecating, "...it is obvious, I have much work to do."
Thor knew what it was like to feel as if rage and pain were the very fibers that held the fragments of yourself in place, he knew that unwinding those fibers was not easy.
Taking a deep breath, Thor said evenly, "I think the question you are asking me isn't whether or not I will work. It's whether or not If I will wait that matters." He looked down at his calloused hand on her knee, knowing what it had taken for her to move it there, rather than slap it away, "Will I wait for you to decide whether or not I can be trusted and in what matters."
His voice was gruff as he gently took the bottle from her, took another drink and handed it back.
