I had a sudden surge of inspiration and this came out of it. I haven't given up on Of Jötnar and Asgarians. I will update that as soon as I find the time. Btw, I'd like to hear suggestions for my OC's name. I'd like her to have an androgynous name.


JUNE THE 6TH
08:35 AM

"Aren't you scared mortal?" she heard an unknown voice. The tone was ice cold. She wondered if he was the one who chilled the Avengers' mansion. Not that she minded, of course. She hated the summer's heat but she wasn't fond of freezing this early in the morning. That woke her up actually. She was extremely sensitive to climate changes which Tony often used against her.

"Of what?" All she could see was something blue and fuzzy. Other things were defocused too. "Would you mind passing me the glasses so I may see the horror before which I shall tremble? I can't see them anywhere"

"Glasses? Why would you need glasses to see? Don't you mortals drink from them?" She rolled her eyes. Was this guy for real?

"Because I have an eye condition. Two small round lenses connected with metal frame, if you can see them, tell me where they are"

"Small table to your left."

"Right, thanks." She bent and taped the wooden surface of the table until she touched the rims of her glasses. Then the world came into focus and with it the blue stranger. She cocked her head.

"I thought we had the green guy. I take it you're not the Hulk?" She went straight to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee. The blue guy was still looking at her. No, she won't offer him coffee. However, there was just one thing... "What was the thing I should be scared of? There can't be cockroaches in here. JARVIS, are there any pests in the house?"

"No, miss Mathews." She heard the AI's voice.

"Good. Now what were you talking about?" She looked at the blue guy. In spite of him being, well, blue, he was the bluest person she has ever met. She couldn't recall that she saw anyone looking that miserable before noon. And she was in human resources. She poured the steaming coffee into a huge cup and then squealed with delight when she found Tony's secret stash of chocolate cookies. She grabbed a handful.

"I was referring to myself." His voice was now dripping with venom.

"Oh. Well, dude, that's some serious scarification you've got there, but nothing too scary. And I have nothing against blue, black, white, pink, yellow or green people." She took a huge gulp of hot coffee and ate a cookie. She needed sugar, badly.

"Those are not scars, those are birth marks, they are all over my body" he started arrogantly. Her eyes suddenly widened and she chuckled, almost choking on the cookie she was munching. Ignoring the previous interruption he continued: "And I'm not a human I am a god, you silly mortal."

"Ah, you're with the stupid." She overheard Tony talking about Thor's younger brother coming to help out but her brain wasn't at her finest at this hour. She decided to take coffee and cookies to her room. Lots of work to do today and she wasn't about to waste time on this guy. She looked at his ornate visage and laughed yet again. Strange were the ways of her mind.

"Why are you laughing? I'm nothing like Thor." She only laughed harder.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"I demand that you tell me!" he shouted and continued in a sickly sweet voice, "Or else, you won't leave this room alive"

"You're going to kill me anyway", she said matter-of-factly.

"I won't. I give you my word as a god." He put his right arm on his heart. She sighted.

"Fine then, I'll tell you." She took a sip of coffee. It could have easily been her last. "Well, I was wondering, do you really have markings all over your body?"

Blue man understood what she meant and seemed shocked. Appalled even. Taking advantage of that, she slipped out of the room.
