Thor needed to go to Jane on his quest to the pool of tears or whatever it was.
The lightning is a dead giveaway that Thor’s around. Jane feels bad, she spends so much time jetting lately that even Thor can’t give up and most of Darcy’s job these days is playing travel agent. But the lightning never fails to set her heart moving. And it beats harder after she’s watched the news.
“Is it safe for you to be here?” Jane says before Thor has really even entered the room. “I don’t think any of you are the world’s favorite people right now.”
“I need your help with something, Jane. I was given a hint of a dream and I must go back to it,” He takes up her hands and kisses them sweetly. “There is a way to do that here on Earth, but to access it I will need —“
Jane’s eyes dart about. Her latest paper is half done and overdue. She’s pretty sure she’s due on a plane tomorrow and there’s something else she’s missing.
“You have a lecture in an hour Jane. Do you have clothes on? Please have clothes on. Thor, you can have clothes off,” Darcy barrels through the room, picking up the trash that Jane has inadvertently let sit out while she worked the past couple of days.
Darcy eyes Thor, “Oh no, I know that look. I know you need her like all the time, big guy, but we’ve had to reschedule this twice because something superhuman has come up. Erik’s free, his classes are done for the week. Go bug him.”
“Jane,” Thor says with a sad, subtle smile, “I need you.”
Jane looks between Thor and Darcy, and the weight of love and responsibility is heavy on her, “You should go see Erik this time, I’ll get the next one, okay?” She rises to her tip-toes and kisses his cheek, and then his lips for good measure.
Thor is patient and understanding, even through his disappointment. “I will come back to you as soon as I can, my love.”
“I know you will,” Jane says and believes. She understands that responsibility weighs heavily on Thor as well and can keep them farther apart than she desires. Thor leaves with a sweet kiss, ruffles Darcy’s hair and the unsettling thunder of a sunny storm.
