Valkyrie

Valkyrie immediately strides forward and pulls her fist back before punching the God of Thunder in the face. “Where in the Nine Realms have you been?! Banner and I have been trying to track you down for months, and you just now show up out of the blue?!” She draws her sword out in anger, taking a swing even though she knows Thor will just deflect it, or that it won’t do much damage at all. She’s angry though, and needs to take it out somewhere.

“I don’t have a rank anymore,” Valkyrie scoffed. It was true that in the days of the Valkyrie she was considered a leader, but it wasn’t like their system of hierarchy was so primitive that any one warrior outranked another. They were all capable and fierce in their own ways, all offering something different to protect the realm.

“Then neither do I. We can both be simple citizens of Midgard.” Sif looked around, her new reality still hadn’t quite sunken in. “I almost asked if you think we’ll ever get used to this, but I suppose you have a head start. You were away from Asgard for so long.”

Valkyrie shrugged, pulling out her flask. “Doesn’t mean I can adjust to Midgard. It seems much calmer than Sakaar though. Nowhere will quite compare to that place though,” she scoffed, shaking her head at the memory of the Grand Master and that disaster of a planet. She wondered what had become of her old friend at this point.

“Yes, well, even if Thor isn’t around I suppose I’m supposed to stick around with his people,” she stands with her arms crossed. “It’s good to see you again… Lady Sif,” she lets her face screw up a little at the title. She never liked it, but she can’t help but smirk, using it more teasingly than anything else.

“How kind of you,” Sif returned her smirk, sarcastically saying, “No need for the formalities. Though I’m flattered, I do believe you technically outrank me.”

“I don’t have a rank anymore,” Valkyrie scoffed.

I didn’t expect to find you here.

[He chuckled softly, looking at her for a moment] It’s biological. His– our metabolism burns alcohol too fast.

I could tell the big guy was faking every time we tossed a few back. I mean, I figured he was far from a lightweight, but that’s really too bad.

gammasmash:

The big guy doesn’t let me do a lot of things, no.

Lame. That a biological thing or something I can talk him into being a little more lenient on next time you let him out to play? [She grinned, elbowing at his ribs.]

gammasmash:

That… doesn’t work for me.

Really? Big guy got you on a detox at all times then?

Wanda hummed. She’d seen many thing she wish she could unsee. “I think that’s wise…but I really need to find some other way to practice. I don’t want to be caught at the wrong end of things.” She looked away, pretending she was trying to figure out the best way home. “Enjoy your stay on Earth…”

“I’ll do my best,” she turned to leave then hesitated for a second. Something wasn’t sitting quite right with her. Thor put her under the impression that everyone with half a mind on Midgard knew about Loki and his dastardly doings. Why did this witch show concern? She would have to check back in with her, but today was not that day.

gammasmash:

I understand, but… it doesn’t feel right to leave him alone, Val.

You’re feeling too much then. Might I suggest drinking? Tends to make those pesky feelings disappear right off the map.

scarletsokovian:

“I see…” Wanda hummed. “Well, if you need any help, let me know…I know what it’s like to feel like a stranger in a new land.” She explained, pulling her shawl closer to her body. “And I promise, no more…” Wanda wiggled her fingers around, the tendrils of scarlet magic floating around her fingers.

Valkyrie narrowed her eyes slightly, still not completely trusting the girl. She was apparently one of those Avengers that Thor kept talking about and that she saw in the fight with Thanos when she wasn’t dealing with her own bullshit. “I think I’ll be okay. And you’ll probably find it best to stay out of people’s heads. Never know what you might find.”

gammasmash

Oka, this has gone on for too long, we need to find Thor.

He doesn’t want to be found, Bruce. He’s off mourning that bastard brother of his.

scarletsokovian:

“Sister?” Wanda frowned. “I wasn’t aware they even had a sister.” There was a lot about Loki and Thor’s lives that she didn’t know about. “Well, if anyone can find a way, it’s Thor.” Hmm…maybe it was time to take Strange up on his offer. She didn’t know much about the man’s particular form of magic, but it was a start…right? “Where are you staying?” Wanda asked, changing the subject. “I’m sure Sif and the other Asgardians would let you stay with them if you needed it.”

Valkyrie scoffed. “They don’t have one anymore. Right bitch, that one was.” She nodded in agreement. Even though she didn’t like him, he was Thor’s brother, and they had apparently made up for the billionth time when Thanos had showed up. “I’m staying on my ship. Parked it out in some remote field and turned on the cloaker.” It wasn’t exactly nice, but she had been living out of that ship for years now.

warsongval:

Valkyrie narrowed her eyes. She knew Loki had spent some time on Midgard, but as far as she knew, it was him trying to take over it because he was stupid enough to think he could be a vessel of a Thanos. “He was on the ship with Thor and half of our people when Thanos attacked. I escaped with the other half, and Thor was the only survivor afterwards. Thanos killed him, supposedly,” she rolled her eyes. The rat was a professional at cheating death.

It was as if the air had suddenly disappeared from Wanda’s lungs. She knew Loki often got into trouble, big trouble, but he always managed to weasel his way out of it. Right? She gulped, forcing herself to conceal her sudden onslaught of feelings. She could deal with those later, not in front of this stranger…one who clearly didn’t care for Loki at all. “I see.” She murmured, her voice suddenly a bit raspy as if her throat had gone dry. “I know Thor will stop at nothing if it meant finding his brother.”

Valkyrie continued to watch the girl carefully, noticing the way she seemed to tense up, no matter how much she tried to cover it. Now wasn’t the time to press her though, especially if retaliation meant having her mind messed with. “Yes, unfortunately I know that as well,” she sighed. “I’m sure things will turn out all right. We didn’t go through all that trouble of killing their sister and destroying our home planet just for one of them to get themselves killed trying to take on Thanos on their own.” She smiled to herself, thinking of how Thor described sinking his axe into the titan’s chest.

warsongval:

“He needs time away. I can allow him that, but if he thinks he can just dump Bruce and I here and run off, he’s got another thing coming. I think he’s hoping he’ll find Loki if the slippery bastard somehow survived. I wouldn’t put it past him.” She made a face. She wouldn’t mind getting to punch Loki in the face again if he was alive. “It’s a manufactured wasteland planet on the edge of the cosmos. Where lost things go to die, basically.”

Wanda’s head shot up at her words. “Survived? What do you mean survived?” She asked, urgently. Loki had left years ago, saying there was urgent business he had to attend to, but he never told Wanda what exactly that business was. He left no trace, except her broken heart. “What happened?”

Valkyrie narrowed her eyes. She knew Loki had spent some time on Midgard, but as far as she knew, it was him trying to take over it because he was stupid enough to think he could be a vessel of a Thanos. “He was on the ship with Thor and half of our people when Thanos attacked. I escaped with the other half, and Thor was the only survivor afterwards. Thanos killed him, supposedly,” she rolled her eyes. The rat was a professional at cheating death.

Valkyrie shrugged. “It’s not like I have much of a choice. I lived on a place called Sakaar for the past few centuries, and Asgard has burned to nothing. I plan on being here until Thor offers any other options.” She puts her hands on her hips, huffing. “If he ever bothers to turn back up.”

“Don’t count on it.” Wanda grimaced. “If my experiences with Asgardians have taught me anything, they can be quite unreliable.” She admitted. “Sakaar…where is that? What is that?”

“He needs time away. I can allow him that, but if he thinks he can just dump Bruce and I here and run off, he’s got another thing coming. I think he’s hoping he’ll find Loki if the slippery bastard somehow survived. I wouldn’t put it past him.” She made a face. She wouldn’t mind getting to punch Loki in the face again if he was alive. “It’s a manufactured wasteland planet on the edge of the cosmos. Where lost things go to die, basically.”

warsongval:

“There’s always a better way,” she answered simply. Even if she didn’t know the answer, attacking bystanders with her sword would be just as inappropriate. I’m trying to explore the city. Look for any sign of where Thor could be.”

“I haven’t seen him since Thanos’ invasion.” Wanda admitted, changing the subject. “But I’ve seen other Asgardians; the Lady Sif. She’s looking for a place to call home here as well.” She looked at Valkyrie curiously. “Are you planning on staying here as well?”

Valkyrie shrugged. “It’s not like I have much of a choice. I lived on a place called Sakaar for the past few centuries, and Asgard has burned to nothing. I plan on being here until Thor offers any other options.” She puts her hands on her hips, huffing. “If he ever bothers to turn back up.”
