Video; thunderer [Thor 3 Spoilers]

[worldsaway]

[You can tell from the moment Thor's face appears on camera, he's been through hell and back. His hair is almost entirely buzzed down, save for the tufts on top, with markings shaved into the sides. His eye is covered by a black patch, indicating an injury that he isn't happy to talk about.]

I've made some changes. [Bluntly, as if he consented to any of this.]

What else.. Some things have happened at home that may be of interest to some of you. [He hums, considering.] Odin is dead. I have another sister? Her name is Hela. Mjolnir is destroyed. Banner is alive. [He feels a little guilty revealing that one, but he thinks someone deserves to know.] I fought the Hulk. I won. I met a real, live Valkyrie- And Asgard is.. [A people, not a place, but..] The realm has been destroyed. My people are seeking refuge, I suppose I understand now what displacement feels like.

I have the remains of Asgard in a ship, floating through space. If a portal could open for them, that would be extremely useful to me right now. I'm a king with no land or people, now. Very poetic. [Does he seem terse? He's kind of tense.


And then Loki comes barging in, looking very much the same and carrying a large parchment. He glances at the recording with a frown. He places the map of Earth on the wall, pinning it with a single dagger.]

Must you reveal everything? Put that away, I have work for you.

[This sounds like a checklist to compare with his world. Odin dead, no sister, Mjolnir lost, Banner alive, Asgard gone including the people.]

At least you're not the only survivor.

If you manage to get to my world, I'll get you a state. There's a lot of empty bits, but you might need to help put out the fires. My Thor would also be happy to see another Asgardian again.

[He's sure he can convince Steve to carve out another chunk of America for them. If not, he's sure he could buy it too.]

Thank you, Tony. [His voice is disgustingly sentimental.]

Well, he's the only iteration of me I'd happily consider sharing my title with, if everything you've told me about him is true. [Thors in other universes, not so much.]

If they're empty for particular reasons such as heat, venomous animals and such then you probably know that we're hardy enough to tolerate such things.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Meant what? All you said was more. What does that even mean? It grated on him and Loki wanted to ask, but the answer could disappoint him. And he's not keen on laying any more disappointments on either of their shoulders at the moment. Loki's not sure they have the strength to take it. This might only be temporary. Loki isn't even sure if he knows how to stay. ]

Unfortunately, someone has to.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His eyes narrow. ]

And what makes your world preferable to ours?

He's a little bit grouchy these days, but he's really the best. I'm sure you'll get along. [And if not he'll feed them his Thor's special cookies he insists aren't laced until they do.]

Oh no, nothing like that. It's just a tiny bit of infighting. Steve's still working on knocking heads together and there's a lot of heads to go through.

[inebriety]

Well if you're in my world we'll have two Thors.

[dothelokimotion]

No, thank you. I think I much prefer my own and just the one.

[inebriety]

Preferences for your own family aside, this really is a case of the more the merrier.

[Thor is the best and Riverview has not stopped giving him that impression.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

There are always options. Always people to help, too. They'll be alright. They've got you.

[Private]

You holding up okay?

['He needs it right now', Loki had said, and, well. Bucky has an idea of what it's like to suddenly find out that things don't go so swimmingly for you at home.]

[spellslots]

That sounds about right, knowing Loki.

[He loves you, Loki.

But actually, something occurs to him.]

Hey, was I right about the hammer?

[About it being a focus]

[anotheroldsoldier]

I'm sure he's getting it. He's got a lot of friends.

[Not that Bucky won't say it too, he just doesn't think he's one of Thor's inner circle.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki isn't sold on it, but a different Earth is a more viable option than their own. ]

I doubt the other . . . Thor would be pleased to see me.

[dothelokimotion]

And his world is dead.

A large number of friends is not going to fill it. Whatever you feel your contribution might be or amount to, is that what is important right now?

[ Aoba watches this with a mug in his hand that's slowly starting to list to the side until the liquid just barely, precariously reaches the lip of his mug. ]

...Thunderer...

[ Woah, he really looks different from his Friendr profile. Now the liquid finally dribbles a on him and it snaps him out of it, sets down the mug and wipes off the puddle of coffee. He just realized this guy really fits the whole concept of hero - brawny, tragic background, the king of his people. ]

That ship wasn't named Eluvio, was it? [ This is the only ship he keeps hearing about. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hmm. ]

No. Our ship has no name currently.

[inebriety]

When your whole family is dead, you'd be happy to see anyone even an alternate universe version of your backstabbing brother.

[dothelokimotion]

[ There's a flicker of something in Loki's eyes before it vanishes. He's playing a good game right now and holding up better than Thor under anyone's scrutiny. ]

What happened to Asgard?

[worldsaway]

I'll be the last person to judge a grouch, especially at the rate I'm going. He's got a few more years of this sort of stuff on me, too.

[Thor makes a contemplative sound.] I'm intrigued. Earth was my initial choice, but now I have different Earths to choose from- and one of them has a better Stark? You drive a hard bargain.

[bottombitch]

[ Ah wait, this isn't Thor. But at least it's a relief hearing someone else isn't from that awful place. ]

Are you... one of his citizens? From Asgard, I mean.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki grins. He doesn't show his teeth, but you get the impression it's all fangs. ]

Prince, actually.

[worldsaway]

I am a lucky man, I know.

[Private]

I've been better.

But I could be much worse.

[bottombitch]

[ Aoba's eyes widen. He has such an unsettling smile, like he's baring his teeth... but even that isn't nearly so shocking as his claim. ]

Eeeeh?! You're his son?!

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . ]

His brother.

[worldsaway]

Stop fooling around and give your father a kiss, my son.

[worldsaway]

[Thor never had a specific vision in mind. When he said Loki could be more he imagined it manifesting in a number of different ways, so far this has all been a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps too pleasant, but he welcomes it. Loki is a familiar comfort when everything else is uncharted territory.]

I'm glad it was you.
