Thor's POV
My hand wrapped around the hilt of my hammer as I and the rest of the band of warriors, as it were, ran outside to face our large, electric foe. Fortunately for those all in attendance, electricity happened to have been one of my strong suits. I could not help but grin as my hand moved to the strap of my hammer, beginning to twirl it around fast enough that it began to carry me into the air and up to meet face to face with the serpent creature.
"Hello there. Allow me to introduce myself!" I bellowed at the creature before raising the hammer above my head and bringing it down atop its head with such force it caused it to plummet to the ground below, creating a mildly sized crater in its wake. I looked over to see Diana peering at me from beyond the crater, her head canting to one side.
"Are you done with pleasantries?" she asked and I offered her a smirk in response as the creature roared back to consciousness, the electric currents surrounding it seeming to intensify. Diana gritted her teeth as she tossed her glowing lasso around the serpent's head, her teeth gritting as she dug her heels into the ground, attempting to reign in the beast. I watched for a moment as the spectacle that was Wonder Woman made all efforts to lasso the beast, her mouth gaping now in a primal yell of slight struggle.
"Now, may be a good time to unleash fury!" Diana bellowed as those words brought me back to attention, my hand shot out forward sending the hammer launching into the serpent before re-routing its way back to my hand. I repeated this action several times, as I spotted Gul out of the corner of my eye, his Gatling gun whirring to life as it sent a cascade of bullets at the creature. Shield maidens were standing at the ground, their shields at the ready, swords in their hands, slicing and slashing every time the creature would dip down far enough for them to reach. My eyebrows furrowed as I watched the creature finally gain the upper hand, its form slithering up and further into the sky as Diana stumbled a few steps, regaining her footing and returning the lasso to her hip. Diana trotted up to my side, slightly out of breath as she brought the holographic shield to life, slamming her forearm onto the contraption at her hip.
"I am going to distract it, you do what you do best," Diana said to me with a meager smile. I could not help but offer a momentary smug grin in returned as I tossed the hammer about in my palm.
"That is quite a long list," I said and Diana simply shook her head at me with another smile before she pushed her feet into the ground, the muscles in her thighs responding, as they grew tight and then she pushed up and launched herself into the sky above the creature. I watched a moment as she held the shield firmly in front of herself, while bringing the sword crashing down into the spine of the cyborg serpent. She managed to lodge the sword into the creature and was now perched atop its back like a bull, holding on for dear life. I nodded once to myself, recognizing this as the perfect opportunity and raised my hammer to the skies to allow the lightning to charge it. The lightning surged into the head of the hammer, all the while crawling its way over my arm and eventually throughout my entire body. I threw the arm that wielded the hammer towards the creature, causing it to freeze for a moment, which sent it cascading towards the ground. Diana's feet came up to stand completely on top of the cyborg, her hand still gripping onto her sword as she balanced. I watched as the serpent collided into the ground on its side, seemingly defeated as Diana yanked her sword from its back and hopped down to the ground herself.
I watched as Diana slowly began to approach me, the holographic shield powering down as she hit the contraption on her hip again. My eyes may have been playing tricks on me but I thought I could sense the slightest hint of a smile as she moved to stand in front of me, her eyes panning down to her forearm where all hairs stood on end. The lightning was still coursing around me causing a constant current to dance around my form.
"That was-," Diana began to say as I heard Gul yell words that were inaudible to me at the moment, but what I saw behind Diana was enough that words were not needed. The creature had in fact not been defeated as it roared back to life, its tail whipping ferociously, striking Diana in the side, which caused her to launch into the air and straight into a nearby wall. Diana let out a grunt as she slowly rose to her feet, her hands gripping onto the creature's mouth as it launched straight for her. I could tell that though Diana was holding her own, in this realm she was slightly weaker, robbed of some of her powers bestowed to her by Zeus. The creature must have sensed this as it whipped its tail around, though this time it skirted across Diana's side causing a slight gash. Upon hearing her wails due to the attack, I felt fury build up within me. I watched as Gul started to run towards Diana and all I had to do was hold up a single hand to him as a signal that I most certainly had this under control.
I let the hammer drop to the ground at my side as I threw my hands up to the skies, the lightning coming down tenfold, completely consuming every part of me both inside and out. My eyes glowed completely white as I allowed the Odin force to take over me. A growl escaped my throat as I launched myself into the air and directly at the electric serpent, engulfing us both in a static bout of lightning intensity. The creature flew straight at me then with jaws opened wide in an attempt to devour me. I threw both of my hands forward, unleashing a lightning blast that subdued the creature long enough for me to latch onto both of its jaws with my hands. Ferociously yelling towards the skies I found every piece of strength that I had within me and eventually was able to pry the jaws apart and slam my fist down into the gut of the beast. When all was said and done the cyborg lay motionless and in two completely divided pieces.
I immediately turned to look towards Diana, my form walking towards her. I could see the gaped mouths of Gul and the surrounding shield maidens, clearly awe stricken by the act they just witnessed. My glory in their eyes was the least of my concerns however as I knelt down to Diana who gazed up at me. Her expression could have brought even the strongest man to their knees, as she looked strong yet defiantly weakened. I cocked my head at her, the electricity still engulfing my body.
"Will you bite my head off again if I offer to carry you?" I asked with a smirk and she offered a weak smile in return, lifting her arm to drape across my shoulders.
"I will give you this one, Norseman," she said in response and I used one arm to scoop underneath her legs, the other wrapping around the small of her back. Rising to my feet, her own form started to gain some of the lightning, though it would not harm her. I peered down at her as she looked about us as the current did its dance. Gul stepped forward as he eyed the gash at Diana's side.
"You can take her to the infirmary, I'm sure that-," Gul started to say and I offered him a nod in response.
"I believe we have this one covered, Gul, and thank you for your assistance. You were all incredibly brave," I offered as Gul stopped walking and nodded to us in response.
Diana's POV
I allowed Thor to carry me, my arms gripping onto his neck and shoulders as lightning surrounded our bodies brought on by his own. His eyes still glowed white in intensity which I had not even witnessed this during our battle only days prior. I was not sure how this…lightning force, worked exactly but this was the strongest I had seen him use it. I found myself idly playing at some of the designs on his armor with my fingertips, my brown orbs panning down his body, over his arms, and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. It was an incredibly odd feeling, this reliance on another being. I had not entrusted my life to another in such a long time I had forgotten how humbling the feeling could be. As much as Thor being here saved my life, I knew that I myself could offer the same courtesy to Thor in return if the situation should arise. The last time that I felt like this towards a man…well, that was the last thought I needed.
Thor lowered my body to a bed as I winced at the pain in my side. My hand moved to press at the spot of my armor and blood leaked onto my fingers. It was rare that I saw this crimson liquid expelling from my body and I had never been a fan of seeing it when it appeared. Thor looked down at me with concern as he canted his head towards my wound.
"Do you have the ability to heal?" he asked and I sat up with a grimace.
"Yes, but it will go much slower here then if I were back in my own realm," I said as I eyed his form still radiant from the lightning. I cleared my throat, having developed an idea that he would probably hate the idea of more than I would.
"Think you could manage to use that lightning trick of yours to cauterize the wound?" I asked as I stood up, watching as Thor stepped forward in a protective stance. I furrowed my eyebrows at him as I reached back to undo my armors latching. Thor grabbed onto my hands, his expression sympathetic.
"Are you sure you want me to do that?" he asked, the glowing white orbs that were momentarily his eyes peered down at me, awaiting a response that he was sure was honest before continuing. I nodded once in reply as Thor moved to peel down the top part of my armor. I found my breath hitching as I felt his fingertips graze the sensitive areas over my ribs. Thor cleared his throat as he peered at the wound at my side before moving his hands over it. Suddenly the room went almost completely white for a moment as he caused a concentrated spark of lightning to form at his palms, singeing the wound at my side. I let out a growl of pain before allowing myself to breathe again. Thor touched his hand to my shoulder in reassurance. Whether it had been from anger or disappointment in myself, I hitched my shoulder away from his touch and stood up to remove the rest of my armor away from his view.
I stood off to the side, sliding the armor down and off my form, continuing to remove the gauntlets and leg guards before I stood in only my tiara and undergarments, my back turned to Thor. My brown orbs lifted to glance in a mirror in front of me as I felt Thor approaching. His form was back to normal, his blue eyes now peering at my reflection in the mirror. I felt his palms cup my elbows as I found myself unable to breathe.
"You do not have to be guarded at all times, Diana. Even people like us are allowed to have a weakness," he said, his eyes peering at mine in the reflection. I shook my head slowly as I felt goosebumps starting to form all over my body as his fingertips began to trail up the sides of my arms. I had not made a motion to stop him, nor had it registered in my brain yet that I was standing in front of him half-naked.
"People depend on us, Thor. What would have happened to these people if you would not have been there?" I asked him, a lump forming in my throat at the thought of it. My demise could have meant the demise of them all.
"But I was there. You may find this hard to believe, but I was once a self-centered, greedy god, who sought glory for myself and myself alone. I learned a long time ago that having powers to save an entire civilization is an amazing quality to have, but to have a team, to allow yourself the ability to rely on others, no glory could ever compare to that," Thor said and I found myself slowly turning to face him at those words. Though this man could be smug and a bit too overly confident in himself, those words he just used, spoke volumes to his true integrity. My lips parted, unable to even form words as I felt his hand raise to my head, his fingers slowly pulling the tiara away, letting my dark locks fall freely in cascades around my shoulders.
"So, Diana of Themyscira," he started to say, pronouncing my home world correctly for the first time since we met.
"I shall ask you again, am I…worthy?" he asked and I peered up at him, the intensity that was building from this momentary stare we were having almost too overwhelming to bear.
"Yes Thor of Asgard, I do believe you worthy…" I started to say, my form standing up on the balls of my feet as I brought my lips closer to his and then suddenly stopped. I visibly watched Thor as he cleared his throat, shifting his stance in an attempt to adjust his nether regions.
"…on one condition," I continued as Thor looked down at me almost pleadingly, his blonde eyebrows raising to the skies in question.
"You are…completely overdressed," I said, glancing down to my half naked form and then back to his own armored one. This caused Thor to smile wickedly as he began to work at the clasps of his armor, my own hands suddenly reaching forward to assist him as if the world was about to end and this was one of my only moments to find bodily satisfaction. As he finished removing the remainders of his garments, I too removed the last two small pieces of fabric hindering my form from shining in all its glory. Thor stared at me for a moment, seemingly awestruck at what he saw. I am certain the feral look in his eyes caused me to blush in response. We now stood completely naked in front of one another, several feet apart, our eyes roaming over each other's bodies before they locked on. It took only a few moments before we suddenly lunged at each other, our mouths devouring one another as if we had not eaten in weeks.
I found myself placing my hands onto Thor's rippling chest muscles, guiding him, well practically shoving him towards the bed. Thor allowed himself to be shoved, a devilish smile spreading across his features as I moved my body atop his own. My muscular legs straddled his hips as I felt his hands trail their way up my thighs, my hand moving to find the solution to my desires, my needs, but stopped as I felt Thor grab onto my hand with his own. Suddenly he sat straight up, my legs still straddling him but now perched within his lap as he gave the palm of my hand he was holding a kiss. His blue eyes bore into me as he smiled.
"Such an eager little minx, Amazon. Has it been awhile?" he asked devilishly as I narrowed my eyes at him, his lips crashing onto my own before I even had a chance to give a retort. Thor's one hand moved behind my head to grab a light hold of my hair, the other moved down to cup underneath my buttocks, pulling me further into him. I placed my hand on his chest and started to push him back down onto the bed, signifying that I wished to be in control, to be the one that called the actions by being atop him, but to my surprise Thor pushed right back. I peeled away from the kiss and gave him a quizzical look as his lips moved to my ear.
"Let your guard down, Diana. Rely on me to satiate this need that you crave," he said my eyes closing to allow the soothing rumble of his voice to cascade over me in waves. He sat back again his eyes finding my own as his thumbs moved to my face, running along my jawline. I gulped as his lips found my again, his hands pressed lightly behind my head as he moved us towards the bed again, his body now the one atop mine. As we kissed, I slowly felt him begin to enter me, and my back instinctively arched off the bed in response. I opened my eyes for a moment to find him eyeing me intimately, intensely, watching my reactions as both of his hands pressed into the bed on either side of my head, supporting most of his body weight. Suddenly he plunged himself the rest of the way within me, my head curling backward, my nails digging into his back from the pure surge of pleasure irradiating through me.
As he continued to work his magic within me, he proceeded to place light kisses on my face, my neck, my breasts, and I now found my fingers curling into his thick blonde locks, gripping on for dear life. My breath hitched as I felt the hairs on my arms start to stand up again, the electric current beginning to slowly form from Thor's body once more, only now under completely different circumstances. I let out a scream as pleasure completely consumed me, my body pulsating into euphoria, my breaths quickening and my entire body becoming one, tense muscle. Breathless, I slowly opened my eyes to see Thor smiling wickedly down at me, clearly satisfied at my reaction as he sat straight up now, his hands gripping onto my hips, continuing to rock within me.
This view now allowed me to appreciate the sculpture that was his body. Rounded pectoral and shoulder muscles, abdominal muscles that could fry eggs, forearms that should have been given their own category of muscular affinity. I found my teeth biting at my lip as I reached up to run my hands over his flexing arm muscles. I watched as the lightning began to build in intensity around Thor, my own body leading towards another bout of ecstasy and just as Thor managed to reach his own erotic finish, I found my body delivering yet another one to myself as well. Thor let out a breath afterwards, staring down at me, the lightning that was once intensely swirling around us, slowly starting to dwindle away. As he pulled away, he slowly let himself drop down to the bed at my side. I playfully spun around and brought myself atop him again, pinning his arms above his head. He let out a chuckle as he stared up at me with a cant of his head.
"I am guessing you enjoyed that?" he asked and I pushed more of my weight on his pinned arms with a grin.
"You do realize that I will not always allow you control, correct?" I asked and Thor bit his lip, looking over my body, now beaded with sweat, hair lightly tousled.
"So you are saying this will happen again?" Thor retorted and I dipped my face down so that it was mere inches from his own.
"Let's just say I am willing part of the team," I said as Thor leaned up to give me a light kiss on the mouth, grinning into my face as he did so.
"But first, let's get the Hades out of here," I said with a smirk and allowed myself to sink into his shoulder at his side, guard down and momentarily not even in sight.
