+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?"

no subject
Or not. But he doubts they're hurting anyone.
"Well, I mean it about pizza delivery. If your people need something--food, water, medicine, clothes--I'll make it happen."
Steve gives a half-grimace, half-chuckle at Thor's joke. "I wasn't gonna be the one to say it. There was some trouble with the king's cousin, but that's...a long story, and he handled it. I wasn't even in the country at the time, but that's probably just as well. I don't think he'd have wanted my help."
"He does have a little sister. Cute as a button, but I think she might hit me if she heard me say that." Or maybe she'd just laugh; Steve says it like an old person complimenting a friend's grandchild.
"She's also a genius and she's basically given Bucky a new lease on life, so I'm...real grateful." Which is a tremendous understatement. He doesn't know what they'd have done without Shuri's help.
