A/N: Okay! I got it done! This chapter was a bit harder to write, so many things to ponder and think about, and so many raw emotions I want you guys to feel... Plus i kind of feel like Steve is being to slow with his conquest of love. _" So many things to consider! But I hope that you guys will like this chapter :]. Chapter 4.

"After 2 full days of interrogations, you tell me that the police found out nothing at all?" Clint said full of agitation. After 2 days Thor was also settled inside Stark Tower, the floor above mine is his new home.

"It appears so. But don't worry. This will not happen again." Nick Fury said while scanning mounds and mounds of folders with countless documents that contained a lot of graphs, charts, and important stuff inside. The Avengers were seated around Fury in the briefing room. All of the Avengers, including myself, decided that Fury is better off without assistance.

"And how do you plan to do that?" Clint asked.

"With these." Fury extended his hands to the papers. "Would you like to see Clint?" We all grimaced and unanimously decided that if Clint asked us to help, we would all leave.

"Uh... I think you got it. Is there anything else you wanted to tell us?" Clint managed to say while his face appeared scrunched and… distasteful at the thought of looking through those papers. Maybe not exactly distasteful, but my mind couldn't conjure a better word.

"That is all. You guys can leave. Thor? Can you stay behind for a bit?" Fury said as he dismissed us.

"Sure." Thor appeared to be troubled, and I mentally wrote a note to ask him later. Clint and Natasha quickly left, probably to steer clear of any documents, while Bruce and Tony leisurely walked out. Looking at Bruce i see that he has gotten better. We hadn't mentioned what happened to him since that night to spare him the pain. I looked around and realized that I was the last one so I got up and quickly left. I heard a soft click as I closed the door behind me.

"Steve," Thor said behind the door. "Can I come in?" His voice cracked.

"Sure." Getting up I rushed to open the door. His voice seemed so lost and lonely, almost deflated. I opened the door and what I saw made my heart drop. Thor's smile was completely gone; instead a deep frown was in its place. His arms which usually lay slack on his side were now holding him up, almost as if he'll fall apart if he lets go. His eyes broke my heart the most, as the usual bright and clear blue was replaced with a cloudy and distant feeling. Seeing my facial expression Thor tried to give me a reassuring smile, but it seemed too forced to feel real. Who did this to him? I stood there staring at him until he coughed awkwardly. I quickly cleared the way and let him inside.

"What happened?" I said softly, afraid that if I spoke too loud he'll break. Thor looked around my room, and then took a deep breath.

"You have an extraordinary room." Thor's voice was full of sadness, so much that it hurt just listening to him. I waited for him to clear his thoughts; I waited for him to tell me why he was really here. He began to gently touch my shield, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

"After everyone left, Nick gave me a note. He said it was from Jane." Thor paused and sucked in his breath. "Would you like to see it?"

"Sure." I responded. What could it have said to make Thor seem like this? Thor handed me a light blue envelope. I delicately took it and with the same care, opened it. I took out a manila colored letter and saw words scribbled on it. I glanced up at Thor, and he gave me an encouraging nod to continue. Lowering my gaze I focused on reading the letter.

Dear Thor,

How long will you be gone? I waited day after day, hoping and wishing that you will come back. I've grown older and wiser; I experienced new things and travelled to so many places. What I'm trying to say is that I've grown and realized that I should let you go. This letter… I've really thought it through. I'm writing from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Finland, Poland and so many more wonderful and unique places. Each place that I went to I've seen beauty and valor, toughness and delicacy, chaos and peace, destruction and rebirth… all the same feelings that I got when I first met you. I've roamed and travelled experiencing, these feelings again and again, and every single time my mind remembers you. It seems silly doesn't it? I'm so lost in this world but I know what I'm looking for. This sense of discovery, this sense of harmony that I've been searching for and I finally made a decision. You were the first to show me these feelings, and I will never forget that, but this feeling it keeps evolving. Each time I go to new places I'm reminded that I'm alone. I'm reminded of lost nights thinking about you, of countless letters that I've written, and of the heartache my heart has felt. I do not blame you. You did what you felt was right, and I know that. This letter… it's making no sense is it? I guess what I'm really saying is that I love you, and that's why I'm letting go. I'm letting go because of this feeling, this feeling that you belong with someone else. That you are destined to completely fall in love with this person and love them until… until the end of time. My mind has convinced me that when you find this person, you'll give up everything just to be with them. Do not worry about me. I told you, I've grown up. I no longer feel sadness about your memory anymore, just hopefulness. This feeling, I haven't had another feeling this strong since… I've met you. And so I'm following it. Don't feel sad Thor, you'll learn in time that this is for the better. Find me when you find your true love.

Love,
Jane Forester

A teardrop was falling from my cheek as the words began to sink in.

"I'm sorry Steve," Thor's voice cracked again. "I don't know who else to talk to." Tears started to fall from Thor's eyes. My heart was falling apart seeing Thor so… defeated.

"It's okay Thor." I was no longer thinking, my body was moving by itself towards him. I just knew that I didn't want him to feel so lost anymore, that I do not ever want Thor to feel so sad again. My arms began to wrap around Thor and Thor let himself be held. He buried his head into my chest and we fell back onto my bed. My arms wrapped around Thor tighter as he began to cry.

"It's okay Thor." I will protect him. "It's going to be alright Thor." I will never let him fall apart. "Everything will be okay." I think... I think I want to love him.
