+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?"

Besides, it's a non-issue so long as Clint stays to ground with his family and out of the picture for the foreseeable future.
"...You don't like this." Steve murmurs around the dregs of his beer. It makes Natasha shoot Steve a glare but it's one that softens over only a few moments. Steve's gotten frighteningly good at reading her no matter what he says. She's not sure she likes that either.
"I don't like the uncertainty. Having to plan around the Nexus i one thing. Loki is..."
"He helped save Thor and his people, Nat."
"That doesn't mean anything for us humans and you know it." Natasha shakes her head. She wishes this were easier. Wishes she had an idea of what to make back ups for. Shes going to have to be extra vigilant in the Nexus going forward.
"I don't want to lose anyone else or fight our friends again, Steve."

He heads down the stairs once he's dressed, idly rubbing a hand through the short bristles on his head. He'll worry about cleaning and mending his armor later; there are more important things right now, and today's given him a lot to think over already.
