PART 2
Chapter 2x18: A Misunderstanding
"Okay, so the "how" works, now we gotta figure out the when and the where, almost all of us has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones" - explained Steve
"Well I'd substitute the word encounter for damn well near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones" - said Tony
"I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about" - said Scott
"Me neither" - said Farah and Eddie at the same time
"Don't worry you two newbies are gonna stay and make sure our Little Prince doesn't explode or something" - said Tony
"Don't be so reassuring Tony" - said Arash rolling his eyes
"Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each and even we got the luxury to extend our time there thanks to Arash, these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history" - explained Bruce
"Our history"- stated Tony - "so, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in" - he added
"Which means we have to pick our targets" - said Clint
"Correct" - assured Tony
"Let's start with the Aether, Thor, what do you know?" - asked Steve to the Asgardian
Thor was sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on, he was very still and it was kind of impossible to tell whether he is awake or asleep.
"Is he asleep?" - asked Natasha
"No, I'm pretty sure he's dead" - said Rhodey
"Thor!" - yelled Arash making the God of Thunder wake up
"What? Food is ready?" - asked Thor
"Explain us about the Aether" - said Arash
"Sure, sure" - said Thor standing up - "where to start? Umm...the Aether, first, is not a stone...someone called it a stone before" - he started to explain - "It's more of a...an angry sludge thing, so... someone's gonna need to amend that" - he said with a smirk
"Like Venom...yes, you do are angry...well sometimes" - said Eddie
"Is he talking to the black thing?" - asked Scott confused
"Yeah, continue Thor" - said Arash rolling his eyes to both guys
"Here's an interesting story though, many years ago...my grandfather had to hide the stones from the Dark Elves" - said Thor wiggling his fingers to imitate a spooky ghost making everybody look at him incredulously - "Scary beings...so Jane" - he said as an image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen - "oh, there she is, that's Jane...she's...an old flame of mine...nothing to worry about babe" - he said to the Persian boy
"Not worried" - said Arash pitching the bridge of his nose actually worried but about his friend rambling
"She stuck her hand inside a rock this one time...and then the Aether stuck itself inside her...and she became very, very sick, so I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from..." - explained Thor
"I think we know that" - said Farah feeling second hand embarrassment from this
"And we had to try and fix her, we were dating at the time, you see, I got to introduce her to my Mother...who's dead..." - continued explaining Thor but then he starts to look broken and seems on the verge of tears - "...and oh you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever" - he added
"Ok, I think that's good" - said Arash moving to help Thor out the meeting room but the Asgardian stopped turning to the heroes
"I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence" - said Thor
"Yeah, yeah awesome, want some eggs? Breakfast?" - asked Arash
"I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you" - said Thor
"Sorry but no more alcohol for a couple of hours for you buddy" - said Arash rolling his eyes as he walked out with Thor this time for real
"Ok...you always take good care of me babe" - said Thor
"Well you need good care" - said Arash as he walked the Asgardian to the kitchen - "scramble eggs with pieces of bacon?" - He asked taking a pan and Thor nodded
Arash worked with much ease on the kitchen doing the breakfast of scramble eggs with pieces of bacon in it, while also making toasts with the toaster and putting some sausages on an electric grill, he found some pre-cut fruit so he could easily make a bowl of a fruit salad, he took the liberty to also make a nice banana and strawberry smoothie for everyone to drink.
Soon by the smell of everything people started to come and gather to eat, Thor stayed on the kitchen island and Arash did a special plate for him and himself as he was going to sit next to his friend while the rest was going to the table, some of them were surprised that the King knew how to work his way in the kitchen, Arash explained about how May teach him some while he was in Queens and also during these past 5 years he had asked the cook of the royal building to teach him do more stuff like his personal cooking lessons 2 days a week.
Once everybody finished eating they go back to the meeting room for Rocket explanation about the Power Stone, Arash decided to stay with Thor, when Farah and Eddie turned to the King he just signaled them to go to the meeting with the rest.
"Are you gonna go for the Reality Stone during the Time Travel trip?" - Asked Arash
"Well, I have to, is in Asgard and I know it better than the rest" - said Thor
"I figure" - said Arash taking a sip from the still remaining smoothie on his glass
"Is the machine...ok for you?" - asked Thor
"Yeah, is pretty safe, nothing happened to me during the trial" - said Arash
"I know...but the trip is with all of us, not just Clint, besides you are gonna be helping us going to a bunch of places, the trip is going to be much longer" - said Thor
"I'm not gonna back down now that we know that it works Thor" - said Arash
"I'm just worried for you babe...I don't wanna lose you too" - said Thor grabbing the hand of the Persian boy
"I know...I don't wanna lose you either, the deal is to bring everybody back, not to lose more people" - said Arash playing with the God of Thunder's fingers with his own
"You want to get the "Spiderboy" back, right?" - Asked Thor
"Spiderman...and...yeah...hopefully" - said Arash
"Where does that leave us?" - asked Thor
The King turned to the Asgardian confused about the statement and then he remembered that Thor is so out of it at the moment that he might actually be delusional like Bruce said because his grieve and the Persian boy lack of confrontation abilities against people close to him, but maybe he can make the God of Thunder comeback to his senses somehow.
"Thor...when did you ask me?" - asked Arash
"Ask you what?" - asked Thor
"To be with you" - said Arash
"3 months ago" - stated Thor - "the last time you helped clean the house you decided to stay and I asked you, "Do you wanna be with me?" that night" - He explained
"Before bed..." - trailed off Arash
"Yeah in that moment" - said Thor
"I said "Yes" to sleep with you in bed like we always to did before" - said Arash
"Yeah I know, you wanted to be with me" - said Thor
"Sleep in the same bed because the couch was kinda bad and the guest room was smelly...but my "Yes" was to that Thor" - explained Arash
"I'm telling you, you said "Yes" to be with me..." - started to say Thor until he stopped and looked confused
The God of Thunder stared in front of him, his mind now maybe more clear since he hasn't drink any alcohol in a couple of hours and eat some proper food, he seemed to realize something and turned to the Persian boy
"In bed...you said "Yes" to be in bed with me...not to be..." - sighed Thor
"Thor...I'm sorry...I-" - trailed Arash with a hand on Thor's shoulder and then the Asgardian started to laugh - "Wait...what?" - He asked confused
"Arash..." - said Thor catching his breath - "I really care about you...but you clearly love the Spiderman boy and I didn't wanted to intrude between you two, but the next day you were there in my arms...I was confuse, so I just decided to follow along to not make you feel bad after saying "Yes" and thought I screwed up," - he explained
"Make me feel bad? I didn't want to make YOU to feel bad!" - Said Arash incredulously - "You were calling me "Babe" and I was so confused, both of us are very close...but I didn't even know how to ask you about it or confront you, I didn't want you to freak out like Bruce and Rocket did when they bring up Thanos and called you up your...state" - he explained
"Well it was just a misunderstanding from both of us" - said Thor smiling at the boy
"You know, this is prove that you need to slow down with the alcohol buddy" - laughed Arash - "but still...I care a lot about you Thor, so please, be careful with this whole time travel thing" - he added
"You too...babe" - joked Thor making the King laugh as the Asgardian throw an arm around him to bring him closer
A/N: I bet some of you see this one coming about this whole Thor, I think Arash had his fair share of complicated love triangles with Peter, Eddie and Liz last part, so I didn't want to make Thor into a new triangle but the flirt was fun, besides my idea of his relationship with Arash from the start wasn't romantic at all.
