Thor, with a big grin on his face, offered his arm to Alina and they made their way inside the mansion. They walked into the dining room and all eyes turned to Thor. He was actually expecting to be bombarded with children asking for his autograph or to have a picture with him but what he got was silence and suspicious looks. It actually surprised him to see the look of doubt and fear in the eyes of the children. Though they were excited to see an Avenger they were still wary. Alina took his hand and led him further into the dining hall.

She cleared her throat and addressed the children, "Kids, I'd like to introduce you to Thor Odinson of Asgard."

Thor smiled brightly and walked further into the dining hall. He paused and set Mjolnir down by the door just out of the way, "Greetings, Children, I am very happy to meet you all," Thor says in a booming voice, scaring some of the children.

"Indoor voice, Goldilocks," Logan tells him.

"My apologies, Logan," Thor said a little softer causing some of the younger children to giggle.

One of the little girls that had been liberated from the Hydra base gets up and shyly makes her way over to Thor. She smiles up at him and takes him by the hand. Thor smiles back and kneels down in front of her.

"Are you really from another planet and are you really a prince?"

"Yes, little one, I am from another planet and I am a prince."

"Wow." The little girl says.

Thor chuckles, "What is your name, little one?"

"My name is Clarissa, Mr. Thor, sir."

"And how old are you, Clarissa?"

"I'm five years old."

Thor takes her hand and kisses it, "It's very nice to meet you, Clarissa."

Clarissa giggles and blushes, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Thor."

Clarissa suddenly hugs Thor and gives him a kiss on the cheek then goes running back to her seat next to her friend. Thor chuckles and stands up. Alina takes him by the hand and leads Thor to the kitchen to get him something to eat. With that display, the entire dining hall relaxes. They now believe that Thor will not harm them. The kids begin to talk amongst themselves again about how cool it is to have Thor there. No other child approaches Thor just yet as Professor Xavier told them all to eat their lunch first and then they could visit with the Asgardian.

While they're in the kitchen Alina begins to make a plate for Thor while he leans against the counter watching her. He comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her and hugs her to him, "I have missed you so much, My Love."

Alina leans back against him, "I missed you too, Thor, I'm sorry I've been away so long."

"No, I completely understand that you are needed here. Tell me why is Clarissa here, I thought you said that a child's mutant powers did not manifest until they were teenagers?"

"That's true but in her case, her parents are both mutants and so Hydra kidnapped her when her parents were out on a date. They killed the baby sitter."

Thor was horrified, "Do her parents know she's alive?"

"Yes, they come to visit on the weekends, but since Hydra somehow activated her X-Gene they decided that she should stay here for a while to learn how to control it."

"What is her power?"

"Fire manipulation."

Thor suddenly understood, "Ah that is why you have remained, to help her control her ability."

Alina smiles at him, "Yep, and the children feel comfortable around me since they met me first."

Thor nods,

"I understand, how is her control coming along?"

"It's getting there, she still needs quite a bit of work but with time and patience, she'll get the hang of it. It's harder for her since she's only five years old. When she has an emotional outburst her powers will react as well. Professor Xavier is thinking of suppressing her powers until she's old enough to handle them if she can't learn to control them," Alina tells Thor as she finishes fixing his plate.

Thor nods.

"Come on, let's go out to the dining room with the others."

They go into the dining room and sit down with the rest of the faculty. Charles and the rest of the faculty smile at Thor and make room for him. He returns the smile and sits down next to Alina. Alina then introduces everyone at the table to Thor and they all shake hands.

"So, Mr. Odinson, what brings you to the school," Hank asks.

"Please, Mr. McCoy, call me Thor. I came to be with my love."

Jean and Ororo coo at his words causing Alina to blush and Thor to grin.

"Since our betrothal, we have rarely been apart. So if it is alright with you Professor Xavier, I would like to stay here and help in any way I can."

Charles thought for a moment, "I see no reason for you not to be here, but will not the Avengers need you?"

"That is easily solved. If I am needed I can summon the Bifrost and be there in a matter of minutes."

"Then why didn't you use it to get here," Scott asked.

"I did not want to frighten the children. But with your permission, I would like to use it from now on."

"That's fine, Thor, just be sure you use it away from the building and the students. Alina has explained the mark it leaves on the ground. I don't want anyone caught in it."

"You have my word."

After that, they all relaxed and ate their lunch in peace. When lunch was finished they moved into the game room where some of the children gathered up their courage and came over to Thor to see if he would autograph some of their stuff and take pictures with him. Clarissa immediately came over and crawled into Thor's lap and began to twirl her little fingers in his long blonde hair. He looked down at her and smiled.

After a while, the children became more confident and started asking Thor more and more questions. What was it like being an Avenger? How old was he? Did he really beat up the Hulk? What does Asgard look like? And all sorts of other questions.

Thor happily answered all of their questions with an infinite amount of patience and kindness. Alina watched from the doorway as the children sat around Thor listening to him tell stories of his youth and of him and Loki. He was very animated as he told his stories and the children were enthralled.

As Alina watched, Ororo came up behind her, "He's a good man, Alina."

"Yes, he is 'Ro."

"He'll make an even better father."

Alina turned around and looked at her friend, she blushed deeply, "We haven't even gotten to that point let alone talked about children."

"I know but you will," Ororo said with a laugh as she walked into the room so that she could hear Thor's stories as well.

Little did Alina know, Thor had heard their entire conversation. And the thought of Alina and him having children filled him with so much happiness his heart was ready to burst. When Alina turned to look at him Thor smiled brightly and beckoned her over. The minute she sat down next to Thor, he wrapped his arm around her and paused long enough to kiss her head then continued on with his story.

After an hour of storytelling Jean came in and told the children that it was time to get back to class. As it was they were going to be running behind on all their classes that day.

"I apologize for throwing off your schedule, Lady Jean."

"That's alright, Thor, sometimes the kids need a little break," She tells them with a smile.

After the last child leaves the room Clarissa gives Thor a kiss and jumps off his lap, "I really liked your stories, Mr. Thor. I hope you'll tell us more."

"For you, Little One, anything."

"Yay!" She says and runs off with Jean.

Alina turns to Thor and hugs him around his middle, "Thank you for doing this, Thor."

"It was my pleasure, My Love. They are truly amazing children. As a matter of fact, some of the older children promised to show me their powers later on."

"Oh, I think you'll like that. Now, let's get you settled in your room and then from there I'll take you down to the Danger Room if you want."

Thor's eyes lit up, "I would love to."

"Good, Bub, then I'll set you up on my level. It's the hardest one and uses live ammo." Logan says as he walks into the room with two beers. One for him and one for Thor.

Thor drinks his beer then picks up Mjolnir and follows Alina upstairs to get settle in his room. She leads him to the faculty side of the Mansion where all the room has king-size beds and their own bathrooms. Alina opens the door to the room that Thor will be using.

"This is your room, Thor."

He leans against the doorway, "And where is your room, Little One?"

"Across the hall from yours," Alina tells him.

"Good, that way I can join you when I cannot sleep," Thor says with a smirk causing Alina to blush.

"The hell you are, Bub," Logan says as he turns the corner.

Alina rolls her eyes, "Oh please, My Logan, all we do is sleep."

"Uh-huh, well, I'm not taking any chances, so no sneaking. Got it, Goldie Locks?"

"You have my word."

Logan looks at both of them then narrows his eyes, "Alright then, get settle then Alina will take you to the Danger Room. Don't forget your hammer."

Thor nods.
