I personally quite like my little character study of Thor this chapter. Also, I've had a few people who want to know what happened at the party last chapter. As I've told them, I unfortunately wasn't invited. I do, however, have access to certain video feeds that let me know what happened, and I would be happy to transcribe them.

Basically, I'll write what happened at the party next chapter. I hope you don't mind the slight break from the usual formatting of these chapters…

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the forms you see in this story. They belong to the Formal Notices: From The Bureau of Communication by Joshua and David Keay. Actually, I don't even own the book that I'm getting these from; that belongs to my sister, who is letting me use it for our own amusement /smiley face. I also don't own The Avengers, who of course belong to Marvel. I think that's it.

Warning: Obviously, the original formatting of these forms won't hold up in Fanfiction dot Net court, so I've tried my best to make it understandable. Since the forms are fill-in-the-blank originally, any part that is underlined is something that was 'filled in' by the character or characters mentioned. Anything that is bolded and underlined is one of the options chosen by the person or persons filling out the form when applicable. Anything in (parenthesis) is instructions given by the form for options to choose when filling in the blank. I left these in because they are hilarious.

Because, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a bureaucratic organization.

PERSONAL DOCUMENTATION
REVISIONIST HISTORY LESSON
Let The Records Show

Dear Thor,

It has come to my attention that you mistakenly believe you caught me committing an unsavory act—(Activity Which Never Took Place) eating the last box of pop-tarts. Lest you think otherwise, let me assure you that you are mistaken. In fact, I was merely (Innocuous Activity) wandering around in the air ducts, and any similarities to the former action were just imagined on your behalf. It is an understandable mistake, and I will attempt not to judge you for making it.

With that cleared up, it would be wise to remember how quiet I remained when I discovered your (Bad Habit) disassembly of Tony's robotic children/pets, or perhaps the time you were caught (Illicit Activity) with Natasha's perfumes. A similar level of discretion in these matters would be most appreciated. If further untruths about my actions were to spread, I may be forced to (Threat) reveal all that I have seen in the air ducts. Please fill out the attached testimony receipt and return it to me promptly. Neither a threat nor a promise, (Your Name) Clint Barton, Hawkeye.

Thor was quite angry. And frustrated, to be honest. He of course knew all about trickery and tomfoolery, having been brothers with Loki for as long as he could remember. He knew how some people, like his brother, liked to pull pranks on others, and how they seemed to enjoy in the mischief that they caused. Often times, Thor would join in their laughter when he saw a good joke come to fruition. Most times, the other party understood that it was all in good fun, and even Thor himself would laugh at times when his brother pulled a good one on him. Usually that involved Loki making a clone of himself to deceive Thor, and truth was that that got old after a while, but he knew how much such things meant to his brother. So, with good grace, he would go along with it.

There was one thing, however, that Thor could not and would not abide by. And that was blackmail. It was sneaky, it was underhanded, and there was no honor in it. Jokes and pranks were one thing. As long as it wasn't malicious, usually both sides ended up laughing and both parties were quite happy with each other. Usually after some quick revenge, but in the end everyone was fine again.

Blackmail, on the other hand, never ended. It kept building and building until one party, one way or the other, ended up buried in too deep. Thor would have said, before the whole fiasco with Loki, that his brother would never have taken part in such underhanded tricks. Loki liked the stage and the limelight; blackmail was kept to the shadows and known only to the blackmailer and the blackmailed. Loki's greatest flaw was that he needed to have an audience; it was what helped them stop his plans in Manhattan. But now, though, Thor felt like he didn't know his brother anymore. He liked to believe that Loki still wouldn't blackmail anyone.

So, then, what was his shield-brother's excuse for this hideous Form that was sent to Thor? Yes, Thor had been a little angry and upset that Clint had taken the last of his pop-tarts. But that could have easily been rectified by just going down to the corner store to buy him more. Was it really necessary to bring up the few mistakes that Thor had made shortly after first coming to the Avengers Tower? He had not been on Midgard for very long and they did not have these 'robots' on Asgard. How was he supposed to know what they were, or what they meant to his shield-brother Tony? As for the Lady Natasha's perfume, most Asgardian perfumes were quite different in both smell and bottle that they came from. He was merely curious and did not know what was going on.

Thor also didn't know that apparently he was being spied upon by Clint from the rafters.

Thor would gladly come clean, as the Midgardian expression said, if only to ease the trouble between his shield brothers. But to have his honest mistakes being used against him in this manner, and all over a brief dispute about pop-tarts? This was too much. This was not how a true warrior should behave.

Thor looked at the attached Form and grinned terribly in a way that reminded him of Loki when he had a truly wicked idea. He would write Clint his 'witness testimony' all right. He would also serve out to Clint what had been given to Thor, and he would post it up in the common room where the rest of the team would see. If anyone had any questions, Thor would gladly answer them.

He had no secrets like how Clint did.

EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY
Record of Observance

I, (Name of Witness) Thor Odinsson, do solemnly swear that on the (Date) REDACTED of (Month) REDACTED, I witnessed the defendant going about the honest, fair, and legal business of (Perfectly Legal Activity) snooping around in the good doctor's labs, and I am quite confident that he was not up to any malfeasance or misdeeds. Moreover, I can happily attest that he is an upstanding (Nationality) Midgardian and a very good (Kind of Person) blackmailer who I am sure would never even think of doing the terrible things that someone might misinterpret him as doing.

Sincerely, (Name of Witness) Thor Odinsson.
