[This isn't what they expected either. They stick their tongue out,]
You're not under any spell, you need not lie about my supposed heroics. If a version of me did risk his life, it was for his own purposes, I promise you.
[Lokis aren't nice! They aren't! Speaking of weird universal differences-]
She's a doctor, actually. Was your Donald Blake a physicist too then?
[ She hides her chuckle by taking a long sip of her drink before setting it back down. ]
Maybe. [ Maybe not. Hard to say, it all happened very quickly. But she likes to think there’s some good in people, even when they’re done really… really bad stuff. ]
…Nnnnoooo. No, he isn’t. He’s a doctor, just a doctor I used to date. [ She runs her fingers through her hair, an anxious tic. ] Just an ex. He’s an ex, and just…wow was he bad with relationships.
Well, I did have Erik get Thor out of SHIELD’s custody by saying he
was Donald. But they totally… totally knew it was bullshit. They let
him out to see what he’d do, I guess.
[ It had been dumb to try but it….sorta…. Worked? ]
[They are sorta trying to figure out how Odin's plan to humble Thor would work without him being properly humbled in a human body but. That's some screenwriter's problem, not theirs.]
Does it help to know I had the alternate version of your ex tortured in my place, the whole venom dripping into the eyes deal? He so desperately wanted to be a god, you see.

Donald Blake was my brother's mortal persona. Well, his first one at least. That was how he met Jane Foster, through their shared line of work.

A little bit.

[Just to make it clear they didn't punish him for being Jane's ex.]

Well.

That’s alright, then.

... Any fun stories from your timeline? Ones where I don't die preferably?

[ She thinks back, because everything used to be semi-normal, and now everything is crazy. ]
There was the thing with the dark elves and the aether. You ever deal with something like that?
no subject
[As Thor's villains are like to do.]
No "aether" involved, as far as I remember.
