Drabble 82-FoleyFest Day 4: Charisma
Thor didn't come around very often, and when he did he never made it a habit of bringing people with him. Hell, he rarely brought his human girlfriend around. But this time? He had brought a beautiful woman decked out in red, Asgardian armor and a giant sword. Her long, dark hair was pulled back into a braid, showing off the sparkle in her eyes as she looked around, marveling at all of the Midgardian stuff they had casually lying around, like Danny's comics, Steve's sketches, and Sam's occult books.
The second he had seen her, he had turned right back around and headed to Danny's room, gripping his shoulders tightly and shaking him as he told Danny in excitement about who was with Thor. Danny laughed and shook his head, still unable to move due to Tucker's iron grip.
"Dude, it's not gonna happen," Danny told his best friend. Tucker let go waved him off, puffing out his chest a little bit before scoffing.
"Just because you're immune to my charms doesn't mean Asgardians are. Who knows? Maybe Lady Sif is into the all of this." Tucker gestured to all of him, making Danny roll his eyes. And if Danny laughed at Tucker when he tripped over himself, well, it's not like anyone would blame him. Tucker glared, but there was no heat behind it.
He grabbed Danny's wrist and dragged him back to the living room, where Sif was casually sharpening her sword on the coffee table. Thor got up and greeted them, before giving them a proper introduction.
"Ah, Daniel, Tucker," he said, messing with the strap of his hammer. "This is Lady Sif. She is one of the fiercest warriors in all of Asgard," he told them. Danny had already met her once, when she accidentally ended up in the Zone, but he hadn't told Thor about that. Right after that they got caught up in an alien invasion, so the whole encounter kind of slipped from his mind.
Sif walked over to them, and Danny elbowed Tucker in the ribs to remind him not to drool.
"Hello," she said to Tucker first, smiling down at him. She was tall, so it wasn't like it took much for her to do that. In fact, she had to lean down to properly grip Tucker's forearm in proper greeting. He looked up at her in awe. He was still looking up at her in awe as she gripped Danny's forearm in the same greeting.
"Drauger child," she said, "it is wonderful to see you once again."
"You too, Sif," Danny replied respectfully. Tucker cleared his throat and puffed out his chest again.
"Name's Tucker," he said, before remembering that Thor just introduced them. "Tucker Foley. And I am something of a techno-genius around here." He didn't know if Asgardians were as impressed by science like Thor was, but it didn't hurt to try.
"Techno-genius?" She asked, confused. Tucker grinned. "What does that kind of profession entail?"
"Well, I make new stuff using wires and stuff. Like equipment for Danny over there to make ghost fighting easier. I'm also a wizard with comm links."
"A technology wizard," Sif was in awe. To be fair though, most of Asgard's technology was magic based, so to find someone who was so well versed in actual technology where it was nothing more and nothing less was a wonder.
"Yeah," Tucker's grin never escaped him. Even as he had a slow blush creeping up. "Do you want to see some of my work, gorgeous?"
Thor's eyes widened, and Danny placed a hand on his chest to stop the both of them from going off alone. Thor looked at Danny, who gave him a wide grin in return. "Let's see how this plays out, dude."
Thor understood immediately.
Sif didn't seem to notice or care about the endearment as she followed Tucker to the kitchen, where he had something ghost-related spread out over the table.
They watched as he started to explain everything to her, from a ghost's physiology to how the tech works, to how you can only hurt a ghost with ghost related things. She seemed intrigued, too say the least. It was going great, really.
That is, until Thor interrupted them.
"Sif, I am glad you have befriended the Man of Tucks, but we must be leaving. The amulet, remember?" Thor said, touching her shoulder lightly. She nodded, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Yes, I remember. One moment."
The she did something none of them thought she would have ever done in another million years.
She kissed Tucker's forehead.
It was quick and chaste, but he completely melted when she rested her hand on his shoulder right after and told him that she would enjoy speaking with him some more about Midgardian technological advancements. Danny;s still not sure whether or not he had registered that.
He looked down at Tucker, an eyebrow raised as he sunk to the floor.
"You good man?" he asked. Tucker gave him a drunk smile and pushed up his glasses.
"Never better, my dude. Never better."
