Chapter 3
About an hour later, Jane showed up at the SHIELD office, wearing a long, gray coat and cute black dress that had a white splashed paint design. The dress was tight in the waist, but free flowing at the bottom and stopped right nearly below her knees, revealing her pretty legs and a pair of slingback pumps. Jane took a deep breath to stop the butterflies from floating in her stomach and approached the woman at the front desk.
"May I help you?" the woman asked.
"Yes," Jane said, taking her ID out of her purse. "I'm Dr. Jane Foster, and I need to speak with the agents on Level 4. The code is Q9X2X."
The woman pressed a button on her desk to make the door behind her open. "You'll be granted temporary access for today. You must leave your purse and any cellular phones or electronic devices you have here."
Jane nodded and handed her purse to the woman before walking through the door. The minute she walked through, she entered a corridor with a single elevator. Jane boarded it and took another deep breath.
"State your name," the computerized voice sounded.
"Jane Foster."
"Hello, Dr. Foster. You have temporary access. Which level?"
"Level 4, please."
The second she said it, the elevator shot up the shaft with what felt like the speed of a rocket. In no time flat, the doors were opening to reveal Level 4 of SHIELD. "Level 4," the elevator voice confirmed.
Jane stepped off the elevator. "Thanks."
"Thank you, Dr. Foster. Have a nice day." The doors closed, and Jane could hear the elevator shoot back down the shaft just as quickly as it came up. Sure enough, there was another front desk person at Level 4. The only difference was, directly behind him, Jane could see other SHIELD agents working. The woman downstairs had nothing but big empty walls to look at all day.
"Dr. Foster, I presume," the gentleman behind the desk said. "What brings you here today?
"I need to speak with Thor. It's an urgent matter that needs his direct attention."
The man crossed his arms. "What seems to be the problem?"
I can't believe I'm doing this, Jane thought. "I've been conducting research on Asgard for the past few years, and last night, I came across some abnormalities with the planet. It appears there have been some changes with the atmosphere."
"And?" the man asked.
"I need him to come with me to confirm whether my hypothesis is correct. This could possibly bring dire consequences for his world."
The man stood from his chair, with a slightly worried look on his face. "Do you believe that the Asgardians would locate to Earth if anything happened to their planet?"
"Anything's possible," Jane answered.
"Wait here, Dr. Foster," the man said, before leaving.
Jane stood there in shock. Oh God, it worked. I can't believe that actually worked!
Minutes later, Thor came around the corner with Mjolnir in his hand, wearing a black leather jacket, black Levi's, with a black V-neck shirt and boots. His hair was pulled back in a ponytail, with a few blond tendrils hanging on each side of his face. Jane stared at him, incredulous. Her mind immediately went back to Thor slamming her against the wall and frantically pumping himself in and out of her, all while intensely staring into her eyes. She couldn't believe it. She was already getting antsy and they hadn't even left SHIELD yet.
"H-hi, Thor," Jane managed to say when he walked up to her.
"Jane, you said that something is going on in Asgard," Thor said, his voice deadly serious. "Are my people in danger?"
Jane took his hand. "Let's go outside," she whispered.
"Please, Jane. I need to know-"
"Let's just go outside," Jane whispered again. She led him back towards the elevator. They didn't say anything else to each other until they were completely outside of the building.
"Now can you tell me what's going on?" Thor asked.
Jane looked up at him with a slightly worried look on her face. "Please don't be mad."
"Mad about what?"
"Asgard is fine. There are no atmospheric anomalies. I made the story up."
Thor looked at her in confusion. "You made it up?"
"Yeah."
"Jane, why would you do that?"
"Because I just wanted to be with you. And I wanted it to be just us. No interns, no Erik, no SHIELD…just you and me."
A slow smile began to appear on Thor's face. "You went through all that just to see me?"
Jane smiled back and nodded. "The only time I've ever had you to myself was when an intergalactic crisis was going on."
Thor chuckled. "I must admit…I am quite flattered, Jane."
"So you're not upset?"
Before Thor could answer her, a black Acura flew out of nowhere and wildly parked on the side of street in front of the SHIELD office. Thor instinctively pulled Jane away from the curb and shielded her from harm's way. Once the driver stepped out of the car, Thor groaned.
"What's wrong?" Jane asked.
"It's the metal man," Thor mumbled.
Jane looked over and saw Tony Stark walking towards them, grinning. "Tony Stark?"
Tony approached them with his arms stretched open. "As I live and breathe, Point Break!" he said, hugging Thor.
"Hello, metal man," Thor said, still wearing a look of annoyance on his face.
"Wow, you look great, big guy," Tony went on. "Look at that hair. Beautiful and lethal. And you're wearing civvies! Very impressive! You staying on Earth now?"
"Until duty calls, yes."
"Can't wait to see you suit up again, Point Break." Tony then noticed Jane standing beside Thor. "Hey…who's your friend?" he said slyly.
Thor sighed. "Jane Foster, this is Tony Stark, the metal man."
"Iron Man," Tony corrected.
Jane shook his hand. "It's a pleasure. I read about how you created a new element for your suit a few years back. That was very impressive."
"I know it was. But thank you anyway. I'm a fan of yours, too."
Jane looked at him in surprise. "You are?"
"Yeah. Some of the work you did with Dr. Selvig ended up in a few astrophysics journals. You even did some studies on our blond friend's mode of personal travel. Great stuff."
Jane smiled. "Thank you."
"I always appreciate a woman that's beautiful and intelligent," Tony said, kissing her hand. Thor looked at Tony as if he wanted to snap his neck.
"If I hadn't already found the love of my life, I'd be all over you," Tony said again.
Jane blushed. Thor couldn't take any more of Tony's flirting. "If you will excuse us, metal man, Jane and I have plans together."
Tony laughed in shock. "What? You two are a thing?" He gave Thor a pat on the shoulder. "Good goin', Point Break!" He looked down and checked his watch.
"Well, I have to go," Tony said. "I've been asked to come up with some new ideas for SHIELD's helicarriers. Thanks to HYDRA, my old schematics got scrapped. Anyway, you two kids have fun! Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"I doubt if there's anything you wouldn't do," Thor answered.
Tony thought about that for a second. "True," he said. Tony took Jane's hand again and kissed it. "Always a pleasure, Dr. Foster." He then entered the building. Thor breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Jane.
"That man is insufferable," he said.
Jane chuckled. "I thought he was nice."
"He's always nice to beautiful women," Thor told her, finally noticing her dress. "You look stunning."
Jane blushed again and gave a shy smile. "Thank you."
"I require sustenance and there's an establishment nearby. Would you like to join me?"
Jane smiled and took Thor's hand. "I'd love to."
About ten minutes later, Thor and Jane were sitting at The World's End, a nearby pub. Jane watched amused as Thor finished off a steak and kidney pie.
"How can you eat that?" Jane asked as Thor downed his jug of beer.
Thor sat his now empty mug down and looked at her, perplexed. "What?"
"Steak and kidney pie? That's disgusting. My mom couldn't even eat that crap, and she actually was British."
"In Asgard, steak and kidneys are a delicacy. I'd love it if there were some goat dishes here. That'd be a real feast."
Jane cringed. "Gross. Wait a minute, I'm surprised to even hear you say that you eat goat."
"Why?"
"Well, when I was in Asgard, your father said, and I quote, 'that I didn't belong there any more than a goat belonged at a banquet table.'"
Thor shook his head. "Jane, I am extremely sorry that my father was so rude to you while you were there. There's no excuse for his behavior."
Jane waved her hand in dismissal. "No, it's fine."
"No it isn't. He knew how much I cared for you, and he treated you as if you weren't good enough to be there with me." He took Jane's hand into his and caressed it with his thumb. Jane started to feel the butterflies in her stomach flutter again.
"I promise you…the next time I take you to Asgard, things will be much, much different." he said, staring at her passionately. Jane returned his stare, with her mouth slightly open, not being able to find the words to say to him.
A buxom blonde waitress approached the table while Thor and Jane sat there, holding hands and staring at each other with desire in their eyes. The waitress looked at Thor with that same desire as she gathered his empty plate and beer mug. Her actions broke the couple's reverie, and they looked over at her, letting go of each other's hand. Jane couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous as she watched the waitress drool over Thor.
"Can I get you anything else?" the waitress asked Thor in a sultry voice.
Thor smiled and nodded. "Yes, please. Another."
Jane giggled and playfully cringed again. The waitress gave Thor a sexy smile. "As you wish," she said, looking him up and down. She then turned to Jane, with a partial scowl on her face.
"And you?" she asked Jane in a dry voice.
Jane held up her glass of white wine. "I'm fine."
The waitress gave Thor one more sexy glance and sashayed away. "I bet you get that a lot," Jane said as she walked away.
Thor looked at her amused. "What do you mean?"
Jane motioned towards the waitress, who was ogling Thor from a distance with another waitress at the pub. "Women falling all over you. I bet in Asgard they literally throw themselves at your feet."
Thor chuckled. "You might be surprised."
Jane gave him an incredulous look. "Really?"
"Yes, really. To be honest, most women in Asgard were more interested in Fandral and Loki than me."
Jane laughed and shook her head. "Now that I don't believe."
"Why are you interested in me, Jane?"
Jane gave him a look that was even more incredulous than the first. "Are you kidding?"
"No. Why do you like me? I'm nowhere near as clever as you."
"Thor, you are. The real question should be what don't I like about you. And the truth is, I like everything about you. You're smart, you're strong, you're giving and kind…I think you have the most beautiful heart."
Thor smiled. "All that is due to you, Jane."
"Me?"
"Yes, you. Before you met me, I was arrogant and self-centered, almost as much as the metal man. When Father banished me to Earth, I saw first-hand how unconditionally kind you were to me, as well as Erik and Darcy. It taught me to humble myself and to be a better man. And just in case you're wondering, that's what I find so fascinating about you."
Jane felt her face get hot. "Really?"
"Yes. That, and you have to be one of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on."
Jane giggled. "Thank you."
"You're quite welcome."
Jane leaned over the table. "Do you mind if I tell you that you're the one of the sexiest men I've ever met?"
Thor grinned. "I don't mind at all."
They stared at each without saying anything once again, the sexual tension rushing to the surface.
"Would you like me to take you home, Jane?" Thor asked. "I'm no longer hungry for food."
Jane nearly lost her breath. The waitress appeared again, with Thor's steak and kidney pie in tow. "Excuse me," Jane said to her. "We'll take that pie to go."
The second Thor and Jane walked through the door of her flat, he dropped Mjolnir on the floor and threw his doggie bag on a nearby table before pulling Jane into his arms, wildly kissing her. Jane responded by throwing off her coat and stripping Thor of his jacket. It was just like her dream, only this time, it was in the middle of the day, and now Jane had Thor pinned up against the nearest wall, kissing him so hard he could barely breathe. She stopped just long enough to pull the elastic band from Thor's ponytail, allowing his long, blond locks to fall. "I wanna see every beautiful inch of you," she said, allowing his hair to cascade around his face. Thor smiled and started kissing her even more passionately than before, causing them both to moan as their tongues danced in each other's mouths.
Jane began pulling off Thor's shirt, all the while planting kisses on his lips, face and neck. "Jane," Thor managed to say between kisses, "are you certain there's no one here?"
Jane started to go to work on Thor's jeans. "I told you," she said as she kissed him, "Darcy's gone, Erik's still at SHIELD, and Ian went to his parent's place. There's no one here but us."
When she finished unzipping Thor's jeans, she marveled at his body and stared at his lower half. "You're not wearing any underwear," she said, sticking her hands in his pants and feeling his smooth, muscular bare ass.
Thor chuckled and closed his eyes, taking in the feel of Jane's hands caressing his butt. "I've worn your boxers; I don't like them."
They both laughed and commenced kissing each other again, as Jane ran her hands up and down Thor's body. "Jane, there's something I must tell you before we go any further," Thor said as Jane kissed the side of his face.
She quickly pulled off her dress, revealing a lace black bra and matching boy shorts. "What do you have to tell me?" she asked, breathless.
Thor stared at her in awe. "I forgot."
Jane laughed, taking Thor's face into her hands and pulling him downward to kiss him again. Thor picked her up, his lips never leaving hers. Jane wrapped her legs around his waist and grinded against his groin. His manhood was rock hard.
Thor stopped kissing her for a moment and looked into her eyes. Jane stared back, anxiously anticipating him to strip her of her panties and ram himself into her. "Now I remember," he said, trying to catch his breath. "There's something important I have to tell you."
Jane could see in his eyes that it was something serious. She lovingly caressed the side of his face. "You can tell me. What is it?"
Thor took a deep breath. "Jane…Jane, I-"
Before he could finish, there was a noise coming from the back of the flat. Thor immediately looked in the direction of it, still holding Jane in his arms. "Did you hear that?" he asked her.
"Don't worry, it's probably nothing," Jane said, literally trying to turn Thor's attention back to her by turning his head to face her. "What did you have to tell me?"
Before Thor could answer, Erik and another man came around the corner, nearly jumping out of their skin when they saw Thor and Jane half naked in each other's arms. The only thing that the unfulfilled couple could do was stare back at the two men in shock.
"Bloody 'ell!" exclaimed the other man.
"Jane! Thor! What are you two doing?" Erik asked.
"What does it bloody look like they're doin'?" the other man asked. "They're shaggin'!"
Thor released Jane, but she stood behind him so they wouldn't get the full sight of her in her underwear. "Erik, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at SHIELD!" Jane cried.
"I left early because I made an appointment with the maintenance man to fix the leaky faucet in the bathroom," Erik said, motioning towards the other gentleman. "Besides, they told me about the problems with Asgard. I wouldn't have been able to stay long anyway."
"I made all that up," Jane said, completely exasperated.
Erik stared at her in disbelief. "Why?"
Jane sighed and picked her dress up from the floor. "Just forget it."
"Bloody shame," the maintenance man remarked. "These young people are so damn 'orny and sex crazed nowadays…they just shag in the middle 'a the day, right out in the open…"
Before Jane could respond to the maintenance man's comments, the front door opened. It was Ian, with his parents.
"Here's my apartment, Mum and-" He stopped mid-sentence when he saw Jane in her underwear and Thor shirtless with his jeans undone.
"-Dad…" Ian awkwardly finished.
Jane quickly covered herself with her dress. "Oh my God, this can't be happening," she groaned. Thor could only look on in shock.
"This is like déjà vu," Ian said nervously.
"What is going on here?" Ian's father demanded.
"Shaggin', that's what!" the maintenance main replied.
Ian motioned to Jane. "Uh, Mum…Dad, this is my boss, Dr. Jane Foster."
"Nice to meet you," Jane muttered, still trying to hold the dress over herself. Ian's dad just grunted in response.
"Wow!" Ian's mom exclaimed. "Look, Steve! It really is Thor!" Seeing his wife stare at Thor with no shirt was enough to make Ian's father frown even more.
"Porn star, is he?" the maintenance man asked.
"What is porn?" Thor asked, confused.
The maintenance man scoffed. "Like you don't know!"
Ian's mother was clearly offended. "I've never watched pornography in my life!"
Ian's father grunted again. "I wouldn't go that far, Darlene."
Jane groaned and threw her dress on. The entire scene was getting on her nerves. "I'm really sorry about all of this," she said to everyone as she put on her coat.
"Jane, where are you going?" Thor asked.
Jane looked up at him, apologetic. "I have to get out of here." With that, she turned and headed for the front door.
"Jane, please wait!" Thor called after her. Jane continued walking out of the apartment without turning around. Thor sighed and tried to zip his pants back up.
The maintenance man gave Erik a manly pat on the shoulder. "Dr. Selvig, I 'ave to say, this 'as been the most entertain' job I've 'ad all month! Be sure to call me again when somethin' else breaks down, yeah?"
He walked out the door, leaving everyone else standing in the living room in complete astonishment.
Chapter 4 is coming soon...I'm glad to see so many of you enjoying the story!
