New Asgard, Tuesday
Jane felt a bit like a smuggler with her bag of vegetables as she knocked at the door to Wanda's temporary (maybe) home here in New Asgard. But the whole broad nature of the food pyramid here on Earth was sort of lost on the Asgardians.
And sometimes you just needed something green in order to feel healthy again.
She hefted the (definitely from Trader Joe's) bag a little higher as she waited for an answer to the knock.
[for the gal mentioned! NFB, obvs]

"Jane!" Wanda had been making friends here somewhat, but it was such a relief to see someone who had known her before the, you know, horrible mental breakdown.
She instantly zeroed in on the bag. "Oh my god I love you."
no subject
Oh yes, cheap wine made everything better.

Not Thor muscles, but better than it was!

"I think everyone is purposely giving me the easier jobs to do," Wanda confided. "So I feel helpful, but also not straining my back."
She was over 30 she had to worry about such things.

"Everything was a mess there," she replied. "For you, for me, for the world in general... it's like none of us got a chance to recover before getting tossed back into the pool."
Everyone was just expected to be glad to be back.
no subject
Then again, not everybody was capable of that.
"And even when I thought I learned my lesson from that I somehow made things worse," she continued. "With great power comes...great screw ups."
no subject
She busied herself with pouring the wine for a moment before continuing. "People like you, like Thor... everything is bigger. The ups and the downs."
They were standing in a town that only was there because of a whole series of fuck ups from a lot of very powerful people.
"If I'm trying to take on that mantle, I have to think you--I can come back from those. It's selfish of me to put that on you, though."
no subject
Which was the sort of pressure every superhero had, really.
"I wish Thor wasn't in space," Wanda admitted. "He forgave Loki for so much. Now that I'm on the Loki side of things, I want to know how that was possible."
no subject
She wasn't to sure how she felt about Thor potentially coming back. Would it mean she wouldn't have Mjolnir anymore? That everything would just reset back to before?
"Maybe part of my optimism is because of that. He was always so certain that Loki would come back. Probably with a few betrayals or stabbings in there, but... he'd be back."
no subject
She hated that as she stood right now she had more in common with Loki than Jane or Thor.
no subject
Did that help? Probably not. But it was a cute anecdote!

It was to the point that Thor had a tattoo with a question mark after Loki's name on the list of remembered dead.

Like, grab Mjolnir worried.
"But I don't know if ignoring it will help you actually be in control."

Super helpful advice there. Not at all vague.

You know. In case she was somehow listening in.

"But, I guess that's a good thing. Things aren't nuts."
She wanted to fight someone with her hammer so bad, Wanda.

Loki was still firmly in the maybe slot, though.
"And if I go back to him now, with how things are for me..."
He'd lose yet another person.
no subject
Stupid, almost world-ending things.
"But I would rather have the memories of my family than to have never had them at all."
no subject
"I can really see why he liked you so much," she said.
no subject
no subject
Was that possible? Who knew!
"But, I think we deserve to get a little drunk for this whole---everything."
no subject
"Oh we absolutely do," Wanda said with a grin. "And I know for a fact no matter how drunk we get, we can't be as loud as my neighbors."
no subject
"Oh, I thought it was just like that for parties," Jane replied with a gasp. "Every day?"

The dream.

What if Asgard could just be louder than magic?
no subject
"I owe you one," Wanda said. "I owe you a lot, actually. I'll buy you so many drinks when--if--I come back."
no subject
"When--if," Jane agreed, smiling as she lifted her glass to clink to that.
