Against all odds Thor was actually in a very good mood this day.

His walk was brisk, his back straight and he was smiling while his one remaining eye was shining signalling his happy mood as Thor was walking around the camp with his hands behind his back hiding an item. "Have you seen Sif?" he asked people around him. "Have anyone seen Lady Sif?" Thor asked.

Finally, after a bit of asking around Thor found Sif ad the training grounds which probably shouldn't have surprised him at all.

By the sight of Thor Sif lightened up and didn't hesitate to sheath her sword to run over to him. As she reached Thor she stopped and saluted. "Training is going well my king! Asgardians and Jotunns truly have begun finding ways to working together and combining our combat styles has proven to give quite impressive results."

"That's wonderful!" Thor grinned. "You really have put a lot of work into this. I know this can't have been easy for you. We've grown up being told all these things about Jotunn, you are really doing your part mending the divide. Here!" and finally Thor presented the item behind his back, a big bundle of yellow flowers.

Sif blinked as she looked at the bouquet in Thors hands presented to her.

"They are called Dahlias." Thor informed. "Native to earth. It's sort of a tradition here on earth, to give people flowers when you want to thank them for a job and so on."

"They are really nice." Sif smiled finally accepting. "To bad I don't really have a vase, I mean… We live in tents."

"Oh." Thor realized. "Don't worry I'll get one! This was my own oversight." he laughed and Sif smiled, just happy to see Thor genuinely happy. He looked more like himself like that, even if he did look older and more rugged for sure. With his scarred face and short cropped hair. Clothes just ordinary Midgardian, humble and kind of dirty. Why was this man still so damn attractive? Why did he only ever become more and more attractive to Sif?

"You sure seem happy today my king." Sif couldn't help but comment.

"I just came from the hospital." Thor admitted. "To visit Loki, he looks so much better!" he gasped. "I mean sure, it's still bad. But it looks a lot less bad, his healing must really be working!" he grinned happily.

Sif hid her face. Neither she or Helbindi had told Thor about their little Loki adventure the other day. They both agreed it wasn't their place to burden their kings further. Their duty was to relieve the burden, especially in times like this. And it sure was worth it to see Thor just shining like that as he looked at her with his one bright blue eye.

"Sif, I can't thank you enough. Your help truly has been invaluable these days." Thor said leaning over and kissed Sif's forehead.

Sif blushed deeply as she looked down, which was a bit ridicules honestly. Thor and Sif had been sharing a bed the last week. And no, they did not have sex every single night. Often both of them would be way to tired, but they would lay close together holding each other tight. So really Sif shouldn't be embarrassed by such a simple thing as a kiss. That was stupid.

"You have always been someone I could rely on." Thor breathed now resting his own forehead against hers. A gesture only shared between close family members and lovers at Asgard. "You have proven that again and again. That I know I can always rely on you, it means everything."

Sif's insides were making summersaults as she fought to keep posture. "That's good. I want to be someone you always feel like you can rely on. I want you to know you can trust me and rely on me. What-ever you need. Always."

Thor smiled as he held a hand behind Sif's neck standing back. "How lucky am I? I have so many friends!" he stated. "There's you. Loki, Bylestir. The warrior three. My friends here at Midgard. I'm not alone at all! I don't know what I would do if I was alone right now. I don't think I could do that."

Sif smiled while hiding that her stomach was sinking a bit. Thor as always was clueless. He meant the compliment as a good thing of course. But being told she was the same as the others wasn't really what Sif was looking for.

She had always been just the same as the warrior three to him. Which was supposed to be a good thing. It just… Sif couldn't put words on it.

Thor oblivious to Sif's tumult continued. "If it was not for all my friends, for you. I would not be able to do this." he fully admitted. "Thank you again." he leaned over and kissed Sif's forehead a second time.

Just then Tony's shout came from not far away. "Thor! Thor there you are you idiot! Where have you been, we need you."

"Ah!" Thor stood up. "Sorry Sif, duty calls."

"I understand." Sif assured as she stood with her bundle of flowers.

"Hey maybe Tony has a spare vase, I bet he must have." Thor grinned. "I'll see you later Sif!" he stated as he turned around. "I love you." he shouted as a last thing while rushing towards Tony.

Sif halted, just halted. She almost dropped the flowers she was holding.

What… What? Had Thor just?

Sif shook her head. No way, it had been a slip of the tongue nothing else! The big idiot hadn't even thought about it.

Still… it filled Sif's chest as she bowed her head, nearly burying her red face into her bundle of flowers.


"Heh, seems like you and Xeno Warrior Princess are getting it on." Tony couldn't help but comment as he and Thor ran alongside each other.

"Sif! Her name is Sif! Lady Sif of the house of Tyr, goddess of War." Thor replied promptly.

"Okay, fine. What-ever." Tony rolled his eyes. "Are you getting it on or what?" he asked.

"Heh." Thor blushed. "Well, she's very special to me. And I start to realize just how special." he admitted.

"Cool." Tony replied.

"So what's this? Why are we running?" Thor finally asked and Tony's face darkened.

"A space craft is incoming." Tony informed. "Not earth property, some sort of alien. It's just one spacecraft. Seems like this Thanos might be sending a scout like he send Loki or something. We are meeting up with the thing and have a nice greeting ready for what-ever bastard is inside of it!" he stated and Thor nodded firmly.


"Earth… Wow!" Peter gasped. "You guys are going to love it!" he stated. "I got so much to show you! We can go to the arcades. Just need some coins. Oh and 3-D movies were starting to become a thing, I bet that stuff is really impressive now. I was looking so much forward to see Jaws 3-D, but then I was sort of kidnapped by Yondu. Hey maybe I could catch it now." he babbled in a smile. "Gamora, you gotta try some ice cream! It's the best thing ever. Frozen sugar in a waffle."

"Okay that does sound good." Rocket admitted from the steering wheel. "Get me some would ya?"

Peter pouted. "You can get your own ice-cream!" he stated.

"There we go again, favouring the green woman because you want to touch that booty. How many times do we have to say it Quill. That's not going to happen!" Rocket stated.

"That is not the point!" Quill exclaimed. "I just want to show Gamora earth! How awesome and beautiful it can be. You guys all heard the music from earth. It's kick ass music right? Think of the rest of it. The movies man, the movies! Star Wars, those effects were something else! To bad it only ever became three movies." he pouted. "I think the creator talked about wanting to make more but he just never got around to do it. With that kind of classics, any new movies would have to be really good."

Rocket rolled his eyes. "I can't wait for you to get the hell off the ship so I don't have to listen to you any more. Hold on we are landing." he stated and everyone sat down as the ship shook indicating the breaking of the atmosphere and then finally a bumb as they landed.

Quill jumped up the moment the craft stood still. "Earth! We're actually on earth!" he gasped. "Oh my god I need pizza, real earth pizza! Pizza Haven here we come! Best Pizza joint in the galaxy!" he stated as the door finally opened up and Quill grinned as he looked up.

Then… Quill halted. He just froze as he stood.

"What's wrong Quill?" Rocket snorted. "Your precious earth has frozen over?" he asked.

Quill swallowed then slowly, slowly raised his hands hoping that was enough to defuse to hundreds of guns pointed right at him.

And a weird group of people in front of him. A dude wearing some sort of robot suite, a man who was wearing somesort of Captain America gettup. A man aiming a bow right a Quill, a red haired woman in a black outfit. A nerdy guy with glasses who looked normal yet he was glaring at Quill. And a blond dude with an eyepatch whom seemed to be crackling with electricity all around him.

"Erhm. Hey." Quill waved at them all only for several pistols to click. "Wow-wow-wow!" he exclaimed. "Peace. I come in peace!" he exclaimed. "Come on you have no reason to shoot me. I'm a citizen of the United States. That's where we are right? Good old America. I'm from Missouri!" he exclaimed.

Finally the robot guy stepped forward and allowed his helmet to slide back to reveal the face of a pretty regular looking man with deep brown eyes. "A human?" he asked.

"And an American." The man dressed up like Captain America commented.

Of course it was just then Gamora decided to reveal herself behind Quill.

"What's going on?" Gamora asked and at ones all the guns were raised again.

"WOW! Easy. Wow!" Quill shouted. "Hey guys, stay inside of the spaceship all right. I'll figure this out."

"What the hell is going on Quill?" Rocket suddenly asked appearing as he squeeshed himself through Quills legs and then looked towards the huge welcome committee. "Oh.." Rocket blinked. "Quill, what did you do?" he asked looking up at Quill.

Quill spluttered. "Me?! I don't know what's happening here."

The man in the iron suite blinked. "What the hell?" he asked. "Is… Is that a talking Racoon?" he asked.

That at ones earned him Rockets attention. "I am not a racoon you moron!" he shouted. "My name is Rocket! Call me a racoon again and I'll tear your eyes out Tin man!"

"Wow! Stop!" Quill picked up Rocket. "He didn't mean it, it's okay!" he shouted at all the gun people. "Rocket here just have a temper. Peace, we come in peace!"

"Who are you?" The Captain America dude finally asked as he stepped forward. "Who are you and what are you doing here on earth?" he asked.

Quill swallowed as he stood still holding a hissing rocket racoon. Then finally he put Rocket down though Rocket was sneering. "please let me handle this." he asked in a quiet voice.

"It's your planet, go nuts Quill." Rocket invited.

Quill swallowed as he held up his hands. "My name is Peter Quill! As I told you, born and raised in Missouri. Though I was kidnapped in 1988 by intergalactic smugglers. This is my first time on earth since back then, so I might not be entirely up to date with how you greet people these days." he admitted. "We were send here on a mission. We were supposed to deliver a package to some King Thor of Asgard who is supposed to be on earth. And then, after we delivered the package. We would like to help! There's a threat coming your way a bad one. A Titan called Thanos and believe me he is the worst kind of news. A genocidal maniac who kills half the population of planets. He's targeting earth. We how-ever, we are the Guardians of the Galaxy, we help guard this very galaxy and we just want to help!"

The man dressed as Captain America held up a hand. "Lower your weapons." he asked. "They seem all right to me."

"And if they aren't, we can still take them." The robot man commented.

Quill swallowed. "So erh. Can any of you contact this King Thor?"

The robot man smirked. "No need. The dude is here."

And that was when the blond with the eye patch stepped forward, and that was when Quill realized that this dude was huge! He was a mountain of pure muscle and a roughed up scarred body. "I am King Thor of Asgard." the man informed in a deep voice. "Who send you with this so called Package?"

Quill tried to stand as tall as he could and not shake. Though even as he stood up on his toes, he still only went this king Thor to beneath the chin. "He didn't give us a name." he admitted. "A guy with long black hair, green eyes. Very green eyes. Pale white skin. He was about as tall as you are. Also he seemed to be kind of a ghost becoming visible and then invisible."

Thors eyes widened. "Loki…" he breathed. "From where did this package come?"

"This massive forge." Quill replied. "There was a giant there, he was the black smith. We helped fixing the forge so he could make this weapon we are coming with. Very specifically a weapon able to penetrate a Titans Skin."

That made everyone silence and then a small voice.

"I am Groot."

Everyone turned to see what looked like a tree, and somewhat of a teenager. He looked nervous as in his outstretched hands he held a large axe gleaming in beautiful silver that seemed to shine on its own.

"By the norns…" Thor gasped. "A work from the Forge Nivaldir, using the power of a dying star and fragments from meteors. This is…" he turned to the others. "Friends, these people must have come in good faith. This weapon might be exactly what we need! Loki must have astral projected himself through the stars to commission this!"

"Ahem." Suddenly Rocket pulled in Thors pants and Thor looked down.

"What is it my little fury friend?" Thor asked.

Rocket reached up a little paw. "Pay up!" he demanded. "We were promised payment upon delivery!"

Thors face faltered. "I am sorry little friend. My kingdom has recently been destroyed and we have nothing to give. I promise though, I will not forget what you did and one day I will find a way to repay you."

"WHAT?!" Rocket shouted. "Hey! We were promised a Zeikon jewel, massive one!" he exclaimed. "This Loki fellow promised."

"Well…" Thor hesitated. "Loki is my brother… And he is the god of Mischief. A master of lies."

That made Rockets eyes widen. "What?" he asked then he seethed. "WHAT?!"

"Okay that's enough." Quill picked up Rocket. "So guys, this was cool. Let's talk more kay?" he asked. "I think my own guy here might be hungry, we were thinking going for some pizza. Pizza Haven you know?" he asked. "We'll talk after that yeah?" he asked.

"WHERE IS THAT GUY?! THIS LOKI?!" Rocket shouted as Quill held him in place. "I AM GOING TO SCRATCH HIS FACE!"

"Scuse me! Sorry!" Quill shouted as he turned around and returned to the ship with the screaming Racoon in his arms.

Tony and Thor glanced at each other.

"Do that dude know Pizza Haven has been closed for what? Two decades." Tony asked.

Thor shrugged. "I never heard of this pizza heaven."

"Invite them to Pizza Hut Tony, you can afford it." Natasha suggested.

"Me? Always me isn't it?" Tony asked. "You want me to flip the bill for everything."

"You are a multi billionaire Tony." Natasha reminded him and Tony pouted. "So you're saying you don't want to eat Pizza with the talking racoon, the tree and what-ever else is inside of that spaceship."

"Dude, it's me. Of course I am going to eat pizza with the talking racoon." Tony replied and they all smirked amused.
