+1 King of Asgard

Thor really should have no right to be as cheery as he is right now. Mjolnir destroyed, his father dead, his eye ruined, Asgard exploded, the last of his people crammed together onto a single spaceship on their way to seek aslyum on Midgard, one cannot really say they've been having a good day, to put it mildly.

But it could be worse.

It's taken him years to fully understand what it means to sit on the throne of Asgard, and now that kingship falls to him at last, the lack of that throne doesn't bother him at all. Asgard isn't a place to rule, it's a people to guide. And even if they couldn't save all of them, those who remain are precious to him. A new start awaits them all on Earth.

Or so he hopes.

Thor strides down the corridor of the Statesman, cape billowing behind him as he navigates his way towards the bridge. Hmm. Or was it this way? It's so easy to get turned around in this blasted thing. But ah, the sound of a multitude of voices; surely this is the way.

It takes him a moment to realize that he's no longer surrounded by Asgardians, or even Korg's crew. No, the people here are of all shapes and sizes, and the sky above him suddenly opens up, wide and blue. Not on a spaceship anymore. How very strange to find himself suddenly transported across the galaxy - again - without so much as being shot through the Bifrost. His attention is caught by a familiar voice, and despite his confusion, a delighted grin lights upon his countenance to see his good friend Rogers giving prerecorded messages in his battle regalia.

Perhaps this is Midgard, then? But no, the more he listens, the more he understands. A place between the worlds, hmm. A place to seek counsel, and befriend countless warriors from across the universe. Thor crosses his arms over his chest, and contemplates what question he should ask. Something somewhat relevant to his current situation, perhaps. "If you were put in a position of power, what would you first command?"

Loki will use whichever name suits him at any given moment. Laufeysson, Odinson; the great difference between the two is that Laufey cast him aside deliberately and Odin merely failed him with good intentions poorly handled. Some of his rage against the man has abated since his death. He will not forget that among Odin's last words were 'I love you, my sons', and while Loki is not ready to accept the mending of that bridge, neither to give or receive forgiveness, may never be able to think of his adopted father without pain, it seems meet to at least acknowledge he meant well at some point in Loki's life. Meant to adopt him as his child, rather than a mere political tool as Loki concluded at first.

The past is a prickly and forbidding landscape, and best left where it lies. The current moment, though, presents an opportunity for amusement. A slow smile grows on Loki's lips. "I cannot be surprised or disappointed any longer, Brother," he says. "Because I have learned to expect chaos at any moment."

He leans in and thumps his hand lightly against the center of Thor's chest, half an affectionate pat and half a shove.

"Hold my beer."
