A embarrased Hera rushed through the hospital holding her friend Claire's arm, "God's above why did you do that!?" Hera yelled, Claire loving this side of Hera she's never seen before replied "What's the matter, Heather i've never seen you so flustered because of a man before hehehe, Who is this Doctor Blake?" Hera turned around and muttered "His name is Donald Blake and he just moved in directly across from my apartment yesterday and uh and.."
Claire shocked and amazed asked her "That gorgeous doctor lives opposite you!? Hera went red again and simply said yes. "Well why don't you ask him out then? He's obviously has you all hot and bothered" Hera quickly interjected "I don't even know him! and besides i'm still married to my estranged husband..." Claire stared at her friend, in the time she's know her she's said very little about her estranged husband but she always got the feeling that she had suffered being with him just by the her attitude when she briefly mentions him. "It's okay Heather, all i mean't was that you deserved to be happy that's all" Claire said with a supportive smile, "Come on, let's get to work." Hera looked at her friend and sighed "Okay Claire".
Thor was on his way to meet Doctor Christine Palmer to get a quick rundown on things at Metro General, He knew she had history with the now Sorcerer Supreme and decided to keep quiet about his relationship with him as from what Strange told him, They was once a chance for a relationship between them. Not wanting to get to involved in their history he decided not to get close to her as a friend and decided to keep it strictly professional.
As he approached her he saw Stark with Pepper making their way to the maternity ward to get advice on her upcoming due date, "Hello Stark, Pepper" Thor said to the happy couple, "Th...Doctor Blake how's things" Pepper interrupted Tony, "Fine Pepper, I'm surpised to see you here in Metro General, I assumed you would've gone to a private practice? Thor said curiously, Tony interjected by whispering "I thought about it with Pepper and we decided what place on earth is safer than a Hospital with an actual god to protect us." Pepper heard what her cheeky husband said and started to giggle with Thor feeling immense pride and joy that they would entrust the safety of their daughter to him "Thank you both, I promise to protect you three." Tony and Pepper Smiled at the Thunder God and said their goodbyes as they headed to the ward. Thor could only smile at the site as he finally greet Chistine.
She gave him the lay of the land and an understanding of the work culture of this hospital as well a rundown of his responsibilities and sent him on his way. The day was long but rewarding to Thor as he made his rounds and evaluated his patients but he was finally on break and decided to grab a bite at the hospital cafeteria, while he wasn't overly impressed with what was avaliable he quickly saw his neighbour Hera as she too was on her break, Thor decided he should to know his neighbor better so he approached her as he grabbed a couple of apples "Hi there Heather, may I join you for lunch?" Hera still dealing with the events that happened earlier in the morning quitely responded, "Sure Doctor Blake" Thor quickly responded, "Please Heather, call me Donald." Hera cheeks lightly blushed.
"So how has your day been?" Thor said nervously, Hera smiled "It's been quite interesting today to say the least, I was consulting a wonderful couple that are expecting their first child." Thor wondered if that couple was Tony and Pepper, "Say, that couple wouldn't happen to be Tony Stark and Pepper Potts would it?"
Hera was shocked, "How did you know that Donald?" Thor brimming with pride as he spoke without thinking responded "I spoke with while i made my way through the wards eariler today, after all they've been through with the war they deserve all the happiness in the world.
'War? how does he know about what they went through, only the gods and The Avengers really knew what happened during the Infinity War crisis.' Hera was pondering in her mind as to who this man was, She had that strange dream about the fates the very day he moved in her apartment complex, not to mention that she felt a familiar air about him. Now she was suspicious of the man sitting in front of her. But decided to keep up appearences and calm until she figured out who he was.
"I have a feeling that Mr Tony Stark and Mrs Pepper Potts are going to go the distance as family, they seem perfect for each other. Hera said with a forced smile even though she truly felt that those two were perfect for each other.
"Yes I completely agree; but this it looks like our conversation is coming to an end as i've got to get back on shift" Thor spoke slightly disappointed that his conversation was coming to end as he enjoyed the company of Hera.
"Wait Donald!" Hera abruptly shouted catching the Thunder god off guard, "Yes Heather" Thor said to which Hera said, "After your shift i was wondering if you would like to come over to my place tonight for dinner as i would like to welcome you to the neighbourhood?"
Thor was surprised by the invite and blushed a liitle that a beautiful woman would invite him over for dinner, He swiftly responded "It would be an honor Ms Juno, after work i'll freshen up and pop over to your place around Eight?
"Sounds like a date" Hera said before she realised she just said date then immediately her cheeks wents tomato red.
Hera watched Thor say great as he headed back to work leaving her to contemplate what she knew about this man...'I guess i'll find out tonight, I hope.
