( it's actually a few days after rowena's been released from jail, after she's started getting used to the reality of her lack of magic. and after she'd started doing a little hustling, not that she'd give him any credit for the scheme. but she had promised to contact him again )

It seems I'll be here longer than anticipated.

( she can't do any spells right now )

[asgardianlegend]

[He's been a bit curious as to how things with Rowena are going, but he also knows that he'd given her quite a bit to think about during their last conversation. He hadn't been preachy, but he'd definitely tried to give her a way to make her peace with being here, at least in the meantime, without giving up hope of going home.

He's still not sure how he completely feels about life in Duplicity, even as he adjusts. It's a gradual process, after all.]

And how do you feel about it? Do you wish to yell at me for that?

[magike]

No.

( the answer came after a pause because whilst rowena was furious at the situation she didn't currently have it in her to rage about it, feeling a hint defeated )

They've taken away my magic. I can't feel it.

( iron cuffs dampened her magic but she could still feel it. these that they'd put on her? she felt completely human, scared in a way she hadn't known in over 300 years )

[asgardianlegend]

[His somewhat nonchalant attitude drops. This is far too much like when Odin stripped him of his powers and sent him to Midgard to be humbled. It had taken him sacrificing himself to save others to regain them.]

Are you okay? Do you need anything, Rowena?

[magike]

( my magic is her instinctual thought but she doesn't say it, knowing that there's nothing that he could do for that )

A strong drink.

( a distraction is her next thought but she doesn’t want to ask it, not sure if she's in that mood )

[asgardianlegend]

[He considers giving her directions to his apartment, but he's aware that that might give her ideas that he's not sure that either of them is really ready to deal with. Even if it's because he'd want to buy her the drink she so desperately needs.

And probably an escort home so nothing happens to her afterwards.]

I can meet you at Scratch in about an hour if you really do want that drink.

[He has to find Charlotte to tell her where he's going and see if she's interested in coming along.]

Action;

[zipit_thanos]

[ Wade's really pushing his luck this early on arriving at the city. A lot's happened since his sudden, abrupt in-processing, and he's still reeling from it all. There's only one thing to do, and that's to find any sort of anchor — something familiar, something he can find strength in. So he seeks his heroes.

Yeah, he hasn't learned his lesson at all. Probably never will. Super hard to when consequences are often too easily shaken off thanks to his regenerative healing factor. ]

Fuck, that's a lot of exposition. Shut up, shut up — [ He takes a breath, maximum effort. ] I'm going in.

[ It's late at night, and despite security in the Up being tighter than Wade expected, he manages to find a way into Thor's apartment. Creeping in, he runs his gloved fingers along the wall, stops by the fridge to steal a grape or whatever he's got within easy reach, and makes a casual survey of his apartment. He nods to himself, asides quietly that Dominants really do have it good, before he goes hunting for the man god himself.

Here's where things go sideways for Wade, he toes off his shoes, removes the gloves, leaves his swords resting on the wall and steals his way onto bed with the slumbering god of thunder, curling right up on his side. Sneaking his way here was exhausting work, so he has every intention of taking advantage of the late hour and getting some shut-eye in a bed that 1) doesn't suck and 2) contains the utterly sumptuous reminder of all his shortcomings. He closes his eyes and lets out a quiet breath, then his eyes open. Something feels off.

Wade shoots upright, turns on his side, and carefully lifts the blanket to look inside. He gasps, slaps a hand to his mouth to stifle it and the blanket falls back into place.

Holy shit, he's naked!! ]

[asgardianlegend]

[Thor (and Charlotte) leave the apartment very neatly lived in. Neither have really lived lives that lean towards them having to clean up after themselves, but it's fine for Thor to go around and straighten things. He'll probably try to find someone to do the deeper things that need to be done, but the apartment itself shows signs of the fact that Thor does not live alone. At the door, there is a long, pretty cape in shades that the Asgardian would never wear hanging next to Mjølnir and Thor's unmissable boots sitting on the floor.

The fridge would give Wade ample choices of fresh food, since someone here has a big appetite. The bedroom is a bit more lived-in, especially with the slumbering god on the massive bed. Thor doesn't even budge as the bed shifts under the weight of another person. It's happened more than once, obviously.

But the gasp makes him shift sleepily.]

Charlotte, is everything okay?

[zipit_thanos]

[ Wade's gonna file away that little nugget of intel for later. He's gotta see who's the lucky lady who caught the God of Thunder's eye. And speaking of, Wade's heart is all aflutter because who doesn't feel a little dizzy at the sight of such a magnificent specimen of a man! Doesn't stop him from taking a prissy, offended tone. It's way too late in the night for this kind of chaos. ]

How dare you call me by another woman's name in bed!

[ Firstly, Wade, you're not a woman. Secondly, you're tresspassing. He doesn't even belong here.

Fuck if he isn't going to take full advantage of the situation and try to drape himself against Thor's mighty chest, his fingers walking up the swell of one pectoral muscle to draw a little heart there. ]

You're so much bigger in person! Now I get what all the fuss is about. Do you always sleep in the nude? Jane was so lucky —

[asgardianlegend]

[Right, so, it's wise of Wade to have avoided the other bedroom. Coming into Thor's own room is treading dangerously, but he can deal with that a lot better than the need to pummel someone else for Charlotte's safety.

As it is, Thor sits up, the sheet slipping down to pool in his lap as he glares at the intruder. A half-beat later, he raises his arm to call Mjølnir to him. The sound of the hammer zipping through the apartment to slap in his hand is unmistakable.]

Who are you and why are you currently in my bed uninvited?

[And now he has this stranger plastered to his side, obscenely behaving like some distressed lover.]

How do you know Jane?

[zipit_thanos]

[ Wade slips off and lays prone on the bed when Thor gets up. And the moment Mjolnir whistles to his waiting fist makes Wade let out a hoarse yelp, hands balling into fists. A moment later, he's clapping excitedly, the sound dulled by his gloves. ]

Mjolnir! Oh my god, hi, you! So nice to see you two have made up — sorry to hear about Jane, by the way. You two made a supes cute couple.

[ This guy talks a mile a minute. Take a breath. ]

Where are my manners? I'm Deadpool, Wade Wilson when I'm not in uniform. [ As for why he's here? He has to think about it. This is where that poor impulse control tends to viciously bite him in the ass. ] ...I don't know.

[asgardianlegend]

[Thor is quick to anger, it's true, but now he's more confused than angry. He's still angry, make no mistake of that, but he's pretty sure that this nutcase isn't exactly dangerous right this second.]

Are you friends with Jane?

[Does Jane know someone like this? He thought Darcy was weird enough, but even she seems pretty normal compared to this guy.]

Wait? You don't know why you're here? Or you don't know why you decided to climb into my bed while I was sleeping?

[sorrowsprayers]

There are warm springs. I want us to go.

text ⚡ un: Thor

[asgardianlegend]

Where did you hear of these springs?

[sorrowsprayers]

A patron at the bookshop.

[asgardianlegend]

Fine. And what would you like to do at these springs? I am sure that you have an idea about it or you would not have brought it up.

[sorrowsprayers]

I've been informed the popular activity is to swim or bathe.

[ charlotte deliberately sends the message, waits a moment, and adds: ]

Without clothing so we might enjoy other activities in between swimming or bathing.

[ and then... one more, the coup d'état, which is french for 'fuck him up' ]:

If you're busy, I can attempt to find someone else to join me.

[asgardianlegend]

That is generally what one does at a springs. There are places I have seen where they springs are the same shade of blue as gems.

[Well the rest of the message is certainly not what he was expecting, although he has noticed that she's gotten bolder with time. In only six weeks.]

It would be a fool who refuses you, especially when you are so adamant about this little trip. And I'm sure that we could both do with some time off.

delivery

[democratically]

[There is a small package that is delivered, that when opened, holds a variety of different sweet cookies and an assortment of savoury biscuits.]

I'm afraid that I do not know whether you like sweet or savoury, so I decided to give you a mixture of both.
Padmé

text ⚡ un: Thor

[asgardianlegend]

[He finds this cute little package at his door after a long night at Scratch and he picks it up and puts it on the counter before going about his nightly routine. As he goes to the fridge it catches his eyes and he stops to open it. The contents are fine. While he's not a huge cookie person, he appreciates that Padmé has given him a sort of variety.

With the thought of sharing these with his brother, he looks to see who has done this. And then pulls out his device to message her in return.]

Thank you for the delivery, Padmé, but to what do I owe this delivery?

[democratically]

Need it be any reason other than because I can and wanted to?

But consider it a favour for me, if you'd like. I enjoy baking and I fear that I cannot eat all that I make. Although I was uncertain if you had a preference.

[asgardianlegend]

To be honest, very few people have been kind to me just because they wished to be. And I prefer those with an agenda to be upfront about it.

You would be the second person I have met recently that enjoys baking. And as I enjoy eating, it seems rather reciprocal. However, I do prefer savory over sweets, for future reference.

[democratically]

I'm sorry that that has been the case. I think the world would be a lot better if kindness and compassion were without any strings attached.

I enjoyed doing it as a child, but then life got busy and I didn't really have the time for it. Here, I have plenty, and while I tried a few other hobbies, I liked this one the best. I'll keep that in mind. I've a few savoury recipes as quite a few actually prefer them over sweet.

[zipit_thanos]

[ Everyone knows by now that Thor is a pretty big deal when it comes to Deadpool. Unfortunately for Thor, that means he's invited to attend Wade's birthday party on the 22nd, which is surely a debauched night of drugs, drinks, karaoke and arts & crafts. Come celebrate his annoying life and he'll shower you with gifts. ]

Backdated to Christmas
