       For once, Frank agreed. No freakouts tonight. He missed that. A proper dinner with people he liked and could… live with for a night. He nodded at Karen and went to deal with the mighty turkey. “Well, you guys could deal with that tomorrow.” Not that he didn’t want to participate… but yeah. Frank cut the turkey and while doing so, looked up at Barbara for a second but didn’t volunteered, knowing Luke or Danny would have fun with that. “And there you go.” 

@thekpage·

“Don’t worry the door is locked, nobody can get out anyway. “ Karen took her glass and drank some of the good wine. She was observing as the turkey was cut and couldn’t wait to taste it as well. Meanwhile, she put her glass down and went to get the other plates to put on the table. “Oh hell why not, I’ll pretend to be your date , whoever won’t see that one coming. “ she chuckled.

“Nope, I’m taken, don’t want to explain that to Misty. “  Danny declined.  “Me neither, thanks.”  Luke stated as well. He was a bit more quiet still, trying to enjoy this but really he was just here because Danny asked.   “Ooooh plotwist, this should be interesting. “ he stated and got up to get to the table.  “How the fuck do you cut these slices so perfectly …like one day in Kun Lun, I had to do the same thing  with a blade ,  I was so bad ….. “   “You can’t slice straight Danny, that’s why you suck at  Beat Saber. “  “I don’t suck at it, it makes me dizzy. “  “sure.” 

@valkyrja-hild​

Those guys, all a bunch of cowards, hopefully, Karen was saving the day, not something that seemed to really bother Barb. “Tss. Okay, just a sec, because this idiot will ask for proofs.” She approached the lady, put her phone on selfie mode and stretched her arm. Staring at Karen, she softly smiled and asked. “Ready?” And the next second she was gently kissed her, a hand on the back of her head and probably extending the kiss longer than necessary. When she finally broke it, Barb quickly turned her attention to her phone, picking one photo of the twenty she just took and sending it to her ‘husband’. “There.” She looked up. “I owe you.” This done, like nothing really happened, she turned back at Danny and Luke and pointed her accusing phone at them. “I’m sure I take you both at this thing.”

       Reginleif frowned. Alright, if the nice version wouldn’t work, she had to be a little bit harder. “Then why did you come to me? Just to say hi to someone you meet once in your life? Someone you dreamt of their name? You don’t remember but you have doubts because… I don’t know what that telepath showed you, but they can’t really make things up.” She made a step closer. “You have that strength you told me about. Where do you think Barbara got that strength? In the street? You can see people dying, you can do so much more than what you think… and you know it, I’m sure of it. You do have pictures of it, somewhere, you do… I can’t have dreamt it all… You just have to force them out.” She shook her head and let a breath out. Reginleif took her sword out of her belt and placed it on both her hands to show her. “Look at that. Touch it if you want and tell me you don’t know what it is and that you never saw that in your life.” She spoke while openly showing her tattooed arm at the same time with the symbol of the Valkyries.

Brunhilde didn’t answer this question because she couldn’t find the words, maybe was it because the doubt was worst than the truth? Maybe because Reginleif looked like the only one with answers? She listened but once again she was wordless. It was a lot to handle, a lot to trust, she had nothing to argue with but it didn’t mean that she could just believe and agree with everything that easily. She looked at her sword and frowned a bit, still not really recognizing it but she instinctively put her fingers on the blade, touching it before staring at the tattoo. “You...” She had no idea of how to finish her sentence but she slowly touched her arm, feeling her skin, the soft reliefs of the tattoo, shivering at this familiar sensation. “I...” She couldn’t remember but she was definitively feeling something, this warm pain in her chest, something she could recognize. “I...” She looked at her in the eyes. “Make me remember.”

       “I’m sorry I’m late…” He looked at Danny and everyone. “Or am I?” Well, not that he wanted to be late but he had had issues to deal with, and he had to think if he really wanted to come. Maybe he should’ve been more late. “I’ve brought desert.” And wine he offered Karen with a smile. “Don’t worry, Luke, the city is safe for tonight, I made sure of that.” 

Karen finished the touches on the turkey and went through the kitchen to find a corkscrew to give Barbara.  “There you go. “  She smiled at Frank and took what he had brought to put it on the side.  “Even if not, none of you leave tonight, we’re gonna have a nice meal, without any freak outs, other than too much wine… speaking of which …we need glasses. “  She turned to get some and have them rest near Barbara for serving purposes.  “Frank, I let you pick up that Turkey and cut it, cause it’s heavy. “

Danny slammed down on the couch near Luke and couldn’t help , he just had to annoy him by poking his nose.  “She’s on her way. She’s not off duty yet, you know how Misty is. Till the last drop for everything. “  he explained and debated on having wine or not.  “It smells delicious Karen. “he stated meanwhile.  “I’m fine with not going , I mean we won a war against aliens, thugs can have a bit of fun, they won’t do anything too bad, right ? “

@valkyrja-hild​

“Thanks.” Corkscrew in hand, Barbara easily opened the bottle of wine and started the service. She smiled at the promises to stay whatever it could happen until feeling her phone harassing her in her pocket. She took it and highly sighed. Couldn’t he just let her go? “Hey?” She looked at them and smiled showing her phone with the name of her “husband” on the screen. “Who wants to pretend to be my date for the night?” She asked, ready to pick up just one time to definitively refuse his “date” for Thanksgiving.

“Just …let’s eat okay ? Just take this to be thankful to still be …here and alive and for once together okay?  “ Karen spoke.  “ And then you all can go back to being heroes for hire and what not “  she was trying to convince Matt to stay and enjoy her little meal. 

“I was going to be late anyway !  “ Danny greeted coming in with a bottle of wine.  “ At least you didn’t start cutting the turkey. “ he added and looked at Foggy and Matt.  “I always forget you two are like you know …”  he motioned here and there. 

“Oh do we Danny?” She teased, putting down her drink. “Matt you stay here. Karen you have a corkscrew or something?” She asked while turning back her attention on Danny. “Hey, you weren’t supposed to have a plus one?”

       Reginleif watched, not really knowing how to handle that. She wasn’t that kind of person, she wasn’t really good with making people feel better. And if she had been one day, if she knew how to talk to Brunhilde one day… It died with her. Her “death” cost her most of her empathy. “Actually, you were human. Your lover died in battle and seeing your courage beside that, Odin Allfather proposed you to… become a Valkyrie, and serve the realm of the dead and heroes. And you did…” she spoke, her voice getting lower. “You trained me and many others. You were our leader, one of the best. Some say the only one who could actually beat you would be Lady Sif… If this isn’t true… Then what should I say to the souls in Valhala that you brought there? What should I say to our sisters who fought battles along your side and died? Who…” Who did she share her bed with? “You disappeared, for centuries. Someone called Amora put a spell on you. Apparently trapped you in this body and onto this life on Earth.”

This explanation sounded like a fantasy tale, a part of it seemed realistic but the rest looked like a big joke. She died to reborn as what? A goddess? She trained them? Guided them? All of this really was like a fairy tale or a myth you sometimes heard at school, it was fiction, words and fiction. But she looked at Reginleif, she saw her look, her emotions, she wasn’t acting, no, not at all. Brunhilde looked at her, feeling weirdly sorry. “I don’t remember it, I can’t put pictures on what you say, I’m not... not anymore if that what happened.” No pictures, no memories were showing up at those explanations, nothing but maybe feelings. She was confused but behind that, behind the fear and the loss of the small control she had on her own life, she could feel something else, something hard to explain. Regrets? Remorses? Nostalgia? Love? Sadness?  She couldn’t tell but it was overwhelming.

       The Valkyrie tilted her head and bitted her own lips for a second. Oh well, surely something changed in her. That was good news, right? “I… do.” The thought that she heard her name too, Reginleif didn’t know how to feel about that either. “I don’t know what you dream of, but… I’m pretty sure they’re memories, more than dreams.” This was her chance, she should not miss it. “I’ve known you for… a long time. More than just… a human lifetime.”

Hard to believe, hard to trust. Brunhilde felt damn lost but despite everything, she really tried to give the benefice of the doubt to all this crazy story. “Asgardian? That’s it?” She questioned her. “It can’t be true, I have a life here, I have pictures, papers, people knowing me as Barbara Norris, I’m not... You, the telepath, you’re wrong about me.” She could be many things, brave was probably one of those things, but she never asked for a fantasy story to replace the one that people were used to gave her, she just wanted something simple, something meaningful or at least fair, but not this, this was like this war, it was shitty.

reginleifr‌:

       Reginleif blinked, not really sure how to take that. Yeah, it slipped out, but why did she care so much about it? Did something change in her? Sure Reginleif told her that she reminded her of someone, which was true in a way. The Valkyrie stayed doubtful and frowned a little. Pretending she didn’t know would not work. And why was she keeping that from her anyway? If she wanted to hear her true name then… screw it. “Brunhilde?” she tried, watching her.

Shit. Barb- Brunhilde closed her eyes at this name and turned away, hands grabbing her own hair. This was it, it still wasn’t making any senses bt facts, facts were there, she couldn’t deny them. She took a deep breath and turned back to face her. “So you know me? Do you? Because, this name and your name, I- I can hear them, in every weird dream I do, when I close my eyes, it’s almost there, the tone, the screams.”

     ( @valkyrja-hild ) 

       She stayed at SHIELD a bit to make sure everything was okay and even help around. Going back to Sakaar for a couple of days – or weeks given the different rule of time – was an idea she really liked, but that would wait. Mostly because she almost froze on her feet when she saw Brunhilde walking towards her. Her heart beat faster for a couple of second because she wasn’t ready for it and she still had to deal with the idea that her former lover was pretty much alive – thank the Norns. “Oh… hey, Bru– Sam.” She licked her lips. “I’m glad to see you in good shape… after everything that happened.” 

From what she heard, people were remembering, finding memories from another self, an alien one, feeling lost in this present and peace. It was weird, it was the skrulls’ fault but it was also a familiar feeling for Brun- Barbara. After her meeting with this telepath, she was feeling weirder than before, she scanned herself to be sure and of course, she wasn’t a skrull but then what? Dreams, blurred memories and names, that was all she had; more questions and doubts. “Hi.” She replied to this girl she was staring at, the one who maybe could have some explanations to share, the one who knew more than she first said, the one who also appeared in her dreams. “Say it, this name, just say it.”

[valkyrja-hild]

“I’m okay …. really, I’m one of the lucky ones. And now I got to watch over Matt and Jess … despite them being both really …stubborn …been holding myself busy you know, trying to be helpful, but I’m just me ….”

“Just you?” Barb’ cocked an eyebrow and came closer, sitting next to her, her shoulder touching hers. “They’re two idiots, looking like they need nobody and nothing but they do.” She sighed. “They do... and you’re right about staying busy but... if you also need someone-” She gently shoved her shoulder by hers. “-we’re here okay? I am.”

[valkyrja-hild]

reginleifr‌:

The Valkyrie looked at her and tilted a bit her head, not sure what she was about to say… And frowned. “Why would I do that? I’m not a SHIELD agent, I’m not even human, I’d have no word to say in this. I know what war really is like and I wouldn’t push anyone towards it.” She hesitated. “Why? You got more than this strenght?”

Not human uh? Sam was still confused, not getting everything but not asking too many questions either. “I... yeah?” If this girl wasn’t even human and not from the SHIELD, she could actually speak freely right? She will not freak out or try something annoying right? Sam told herself that and for once she maybe could just share everything. “It’s not just the strength, it’s the way to use it. I know a girl, superhuman but messy, I don’t feel like randomize what I do, it’s just instinctive.” It was hard to explain, she couldn’t explain to herself, so to someone else? She felt kinda stupid, not liking this part of herself, the one showing how lost she could actually be. “Why all those questions if you’re not an agent?” God, it was actually a nice trigger for her paranoia, she must not focus on it, definitively not focus on it.

Danny blinked and actually bought it because he did youtube tutorials on stuff and it worked.  “Well… damn you’d be good at DIY s then .”

“Actually-” She was still looking for a potential threat. “- I am, especially with the haircut things.” Seriously, she never thought she could replicate the Daenerys haircut that easily.

[valkyrja-hild]

xpuniisher‌:

       He sensed her apprehension but didn’t say anything about it. He was very much honest. He checked on Karen, he checked on Danny, on the close ones. It was just something he did. “Any word from Matt or Jess by the way?” he asked. 

“Recently?” She waited a bit before sharing her reply. “No, none of them. But since Claire’s death, it’s not new for Matt, this idiot is a ghost.”

A sly smirk tilted her lips up. “Well then, I’m listening,” Emma prompted, her hand moving for the woman to continue. “Give me a reason and I’ll certainly think about getting my hands dirty.”

Oh god, and she wasn’t helping, forced to make all of this difficult uh? Barb’ sighed but didn’t get impressed. “Dirty? Really?” Why a drama queen has to be her only option? “Let’s see, first I will owe you.” She tried. “Second, I have...” She started to think about something seriously valuable, but she was human with actually nothing much. “... resources?” Again, she tried, in a little charming way, because this was vague enough to imply a lot of things.

“It comes with the territory of being a son of Odin.”

“Oh does it?” Brunhilde sighed. “Being carefree and overconfident?” She was joking but she came closer and changed her tone. “Be sure to clean your mess in the right time Thor, or I’ll probably be forced to kick your ass.” And it will not be a first time.
