Jason went inside and he saw the demigod sitting on his bed, his face buried in his hands, he sounded like he was taking deep breaths, trying to calm down from his mini rant. When Jason came in, Thor turned around with his back to Jason.

"Please, whoever it is, I just need to be alone at this moment. Could you please leave me alone?" Thor said, holding his head.

Jason wanted to go over to Thor and hug him, but he stopped when Thor said that. He frowned, but he was nervous about saying something. He waited and then continued to walk toward Thor.

"Thor... It's me." Jason said, walking over to him. "Are you alright?"

"Oh... Jason... yes, i am fine, i just need to be alone for a moment." Thor said, trying to calm himself down.

"Is something wrong?" Jason asked.

"It is nothing, Jason Petil." Thor said, dodging the question.

"Please tell me, maybe I could help cheer you up."

"No... just please, I am asking in the kindest way I can, please could you leave me be?"

Jason frowned, he never seen Thor angry before. He must have meant a lot to him for him to be this mad. Jason tried to figure out a way to cheer him up. Then he remembered that Thor had tickled him to make him go to the tower. He wondered... He reached his hand over and poked Thor's side, making him gasp and stand up, looking at Jason with rage.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU, WHISTLING ONE?!" Thor shouted, baring his teeth in fury.

Jason looked up at the furious demigod, eyes widened in fear.

"I-I'm sorry..." he said quietly, looking up at him.

"THEN WHY DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO ME?!" Thor shouted.

"I didn't want you to be sad... or upset because of me... I just wanted to make you feel better..." Jason said, looking down. Thor stopped, he saw the fear in Jason's body language. His shaking being, the teary eyes, the quiet voice, but he stopped because of what he had said.

"You... you heard that?" Thor asked.

"Yeah... I'm sorry i didn't leave you alone... my parents always told me that when I was told to leave someone alone, I should leave them alone... but... my parents have been wrong on one occasion..." Jason said, looking down. But with a comment like that, Thor was enraged again, for he never ever questioned his parents.

"What makes you say that? Your parents are always right even if they sound wrong." Thor said, trying to hide his anger.

"My best friend." Jason said.

"What about your best friend?" Thor asked, still angry to what would make him question his parents' wisdom. But when he said that, he saw that a tear fell from Jason's cheek, which made Thor stop. "What is wrong?"

"... Well, one day, I was talking with my friend, Nathan Jacobs at lunch... And I asked if I could come over to house... He said that he couldn't have company, his parents were working, and his brother and sister would be out... He said he wanted to be alone..." Jason said, telling the story. He and Nathan vowed never to speak of that incident again.

"So... I just said, okay, maybe another time... So after school, I was riding my bike home... but I stopped and I got this bad feeling, and it felt like something horrible was gonna happen. So I went toward Nathan's house, I went up to the door and knocked... No one answered... I still had a terrible feeling, so I went around back, which I always took to go get Nathan when we were in middle school... It was always open..." Jason explained.

"You went in without permission?" Thor asked.

"...Can I tell my story please?" Jason said in a shaky voice. "Anyways, I went up to his room. Not knowing what to expect... I opened the door, and I see him cutting his arms "Down the river"... I ran to him, knocking the knife away from him. He even swore to call the police on me for breaking and entering... He screamed... and I hugged him and hummed trying to calm him down... But... when I was humming, Nathan saw that his cuts were healing... He hugged me back and cried on my shoulder..." Jason's voice got more shaky and broken up, he was streaming tears down his face. Thor looked very surprised.

"Jason..." Thor started.

"... I'm sorry... but after that day..." Jason said, looking up at Thor. Thor was about to tear up when he saw his teary face. "... I've never ever, left anyone alone again..."

Thor then hugged Jason, but this time, he really hugged him, like the way a father would hug his son; firm, caring, and comforting. Jason hugged Thor back, and cried.

"I'm sorry, Jason... I didn't..." Thor said, pulling from his hug to talk to him.

"No... I'm sorry, I should have listened, I didn't mean to make you angry. If you want me to go, I will." Jason said, getting up.

"No... it's fine, really. I thank you for being concerned about my well being, I am fine, i just needed to rest a little." Thor said, stopping him.

"I really am sorry, Thor." Jason said, looking down.

"It is fine, Jason Petil. I overreacted... To be honest, no one has ever talked to me about what's been bothering me..." Thor said. "They are afraid because of the things I am capable of... They think I am wrathful..."

"Thor, I know you aren't wrathful, you're a nice person." Jason said, sitting down again.

"You are a nice person too, and brave... you were a hero before you even came here." Thor said.

"He's my best friend, and best friends look out for each other." Jason said, smiling.

"Wise words, Jason. But I must ask you not to do that again." Thor vaguely said.

"Do what?" Jason asked.

"...Do not poke me, Jason Petil." Thor added.

"What, like this?" Jason asked playfully, as he poked Thor again, making Thor jumps away from him slightly.

"Stop that."

"Hehe, revenge!" Jason said, smiling as he pounced on Thor, tickling his sides, like Thor did to Jason. From outside the demi-god's room, the other Avengers heard the booming laughter of Thor from the other room. It felt like the Tower was shaking. Thor tried to get away from the newbie Avenger, but to no avail. He kept on laughing and squirming.

"AHAHAHAHA! JASON, STOP THAT!" Thor boomed in laughter. Jason then stopped tickling, and looked at Thor with a smile.

"That's for tickling me back at that hideout." Jason said, chuckling at the panting demigod.

"Heh... hehe... you certainly have guts... i never knew I was ticklish..." Thor said, panting, and chuckling.

"Hehe, you're fun to hang out with, maybe we can hang out some more." Jason said, getting up from the bed and looking at Thor, smiling.

"I do hope that we can, Jason Petil." Thor said, smiling.

"Well, I need to get some sleep, I'll talk to you later." Jason said, waving.

"Have a good rest." Thor said, waving back.

Jason walked out of the room and he saw Tony, Black Widow, and Hawkeye were still stunned at what they heard.

"Hehe, so, do I have my own room?" Jason asked, smiling at the three wide-eyed Avengers. Jason realized that he was gonna like it here.
