Chapter three
Evangaline left the cell feeling on edge. The way he stared at her made her feel like prey being watched by a predator waiting for it's time to strike. As she walked down the corridors she scolded herself for being so stupid and letting herself slip up like that. Years of carefully covering her secret almost completely blown in a matter of seconds; what was wrong with her? "Agent Helanne!" Fury called as she passed his office.
"Yes sir?" Now what did he want? Thor was standing beside him, smiling.
"Thor will be staying with you during his duration on Earth," at her attempt to argue he cut her off, "I know you have a spare room and it will be easier since you're already working with his brother." She went open her mouth again, "It's non-negotiable." She huffed and motioned for Thor to follow her.
"Thank you Lady Helanne for letting me stay in your home," Thor smiled as she led him to her car, "Not many would."
"Did I honestly have a choice in the matter?" Evangaline muttered darkly. She cringed when she saw Thor frown. He looked like a forlorn puppy. "I'm sorry it's just been a stressful day Thor, I'm glad to have you." She got into the car and drove them home. They pulled up to a small building that was dwarfed by the skyscrapers on both sides. She led him up to her flat on the top floor, holding the door wide for him to enter. It was a modest place; nothing too special. "Are you hungry Thor?" Evangaline asked as she went to change into normal clothes in the bathroom. She strolled back out now dressed in a tight black t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans.
Thor laughed, "Lady Helanne it is a known fact that I never turn down an offer of food." Evangaline laughed to and walked into the kitchen to inspect what she had. She wasn't expecting to feed a guest when she went grocery shopping.
"I hope you don't mind poptarts." Before she could barely finish her sentence Thor barreled into the room, his face lit up like a little kid. "I'm going to guess you like poptarts?"
"I adore the tarts of pop!" Thor thundered, snatching the box from her hand and quickly proceeding to stuff his face. "We do not have such a delicacy in Asgard!" Evangaline stared for a few minutes before bursting out laughing. She was laughing so hard as Thor stared at her with his cheeks stuffed with poptart, bewildered. He much resembled a chipmunk stocking for winter. She kept laughing until tears came to her eyes. Finally she calmed down as Thor stared at her like she had grown two heads. "I'm sorry," she smiled, wiping the tears away, "you just looked so funny." Thor stared for a minute before laughing too. "Here let me show you to your room," she led him an average sized room with a bed and an armoire.
"Thank you again Lady Helanne," Thor smiled, "I am most grateful." His blue eyes sparkled and Evangaline was lost in them for a second.
"It's no problem," she smiled, blushing slightly. "And please call me Evangaline." She felt herself blush every time he called her 'Lady'. She could tell other woman had swooned at Thor's charm before and didn't want to admit it but it was hard not to. His smile alone gave Evangaline butterflies. After they finished dinner and she got Thor settled in, Evangaline crawled into, eager for sleep. When she closed her eyes her mind drifted to beautifully green eyes watching her.
