[Seated on the roof of a building, not the Avengers Mansion, but somewhere in the city of Aliunde, Thor has a rather contemplative look on his face. He's been considering many things, recently, and he wonders just what impact anything they do here has on anything at home. Sif and Steve both claimed to have no memories of Aliunde when they went home

[Thor glances up as he hears his brother's motions behind him and chuckles at the question, shaking his head slightly.] You cannot compare precooked food to fresh meat that was coursing with life only hours ago. [He gives him an amused look, however, and shrugs just a bit.] I will find this Thai food for you.

[flipsalltables]

[Thor is more than content to let the wind blow his hair all over the place, on the other hand, and wishes Loki were not so afraid to show himself, but he understands.] You are always so full of complaints about food. I am beginning to think the Midgardian foods have spoiled you. [He laughs lightly and looks out over the city.] I only wish for us to be agreeable, Loki.

[Thor is quiet for a long moment. That's what he wants to believe, but so much could happen and he's afraid that the friendships he has will change and that his relationship with Sif will be ended, and that he will lose Loki entirely. It's hard to take, some days.] I suppose you are right. [He thinks about it for a moment more then sighs.] I have known people who did not remember anything when they returned home, and spoke of regaining their memories of Aliunde when they came back. If that is so for all of us, I fear what work we do here to make amends for wrongdoings is pointless.

[Even though she can't see it, Thor can't help his smile at that. Perhaps she's right. There is no way memories can truly be fully erased. The mind retains them, some fragment, and they have to hope they'll get some glimmer of hope if they lose every memory.] Perhaps you are right, my friend. I would like to hope that, if I am faced with a difficult decision, something may sway me because of what I have learned here.

[It's weird to hear her thoughts come out of Thor's mouth-- albeit worded a bit differently-- but her thoughts all the same. In her time here, she's grown closer to Thor, met and became close friends with Loki. She's made new friends she never would have made otherwise. There are people here that she cares for deeply and would mourn the loss of. And the idea of going home and forgetting all of it, makes her want to cry. When she does think on what might happen, her getting taken or one of those important people in her life, she has to stop herself from panicking. It scares her. To leave this city with no memory of being considered family by Thor and Loki, never meeting Tony or Pepper or Kaylee or Charles or any of them, never getting to meet Magnus.... Her breath catches in her throat and her chest squeezes like a vice.]

If we leave and forget everything...then I don't want to leave.

[flipsalltables]

[Thor has heard much the same come from Loki, and it doesn't surprise him that her feelings are this way. He understands, but he knows his place is in Asgard, and he does not have the luxury of remaining in Aliunde by choice.]

I understand. It would be... horrible to forget everything and not have what we have here.

[ipod_less]

I just...I can't lose you guys. I'd forget Loki completely. I can't do that. You guys are super-important to me.

[flipsalltables]

I know, Darcy. You are important to us too. I just hope that we can find a way to control the pathways between Aliunde and our own worlds.

Dude, screw destiny right in the face. I don't care what anyone says my future's gonna be because it's destiny - if I don't like it then I'm sure as hell gonna do everything I can to change it. [No one knows more about crappy destinies than Dean.] I've dealt with reapers, demons, demi-gods and angels all telling me what my destiny is supposed to be and I'm working my ass off back home to make sure it doesn't happen.

Hell! I even went to the future once to see what it would be like if I went against my destiny and I still said "screw it, not gonna happen".

[flipsalltables]

[Thor can't help looking a little bit amused by that, and he lets out a soft laugh.]

Why does it not surprise me that you are the one who would shout in the face of destiny? [He chuckles a bit more.] I suppose you are right. We can only try to change things, and not wallow in pity and concern.

[jerkfacehunter]

[Smiles a little.]

Destiny decided to deal me a crappy hand so I've got a right to be shouting in its face. [Nods.] Our future here is what we make of it.

[flipsalltables]

It can be a difficult thing to change the future. It can mean losing everything you love to know that you were wrong, and that everything can be repaired somehow.

[madcuriosity]

Well that's easy sir.

We would get terribly lonely and sad if we didn't try to work with one another.

[flipsalltables]

[Thor smiles a bit. That's the simplest answer he's gotten, and probably the nicest.]

You are right. Without each other, we would be very lonely.

[madcuriosity]

Besides, without one another, we wouldn't be able to do a lot of things when bad things happen.

[flipsalltables]

You are right. Everyone came together when the ice serpents became uncontrollable. Perhaps we will find a way home by working together.
