New Asgard, Iceland - Wednesday

[needsacatchphrase]

There hadn't been a visit here for a Thanksgiving for obvious reasons, but the invitation to spend the break here and see winter time from an Asgardian perspective that wasn't Thor's certainly peaked Jane's interest.

Even if half of it was 'for the tourists' according to Valkyrie.

There was, at least, plenty of food and drink along with a big bonfire that might have once been a wicker goat that had been stolen from other festivities.

It was warm, at least!

[for the unexpected guest!]

Well, she'd have plenty of opportunity after this party!

"Yeah," Jane said with a quick smile as she looked around them. How different would it be if he was still on planet? "I'm glad he has you as a friend. And you have him."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I am pretty lucky," she agreed with a nod. "I can't imagine Thor being mad at me. Ever, no matter what I've done."

[needsacatchphrase]

He would probably try to ask who hadn't accidentally murdered some people for family.

But thinking about Thor was why Jane had to ask. "Would you like a hug?"

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda laughed again, holding out her arms a little. "Yeah, actually, that would be nice."

And she had hugged armored Thor before so she was ready for the awkward armor of it all.

[needsacatchphrase]

At least there wasn't a severed ear involved!

Jane gave her a hug that was hopefully at least on par with the Thor one. Because that was clearly a godly power there.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Thanks, Jane," Wanda said, giving her a squeeze though not sure if she could feel it under the armor. "I really appreciate you being cool about all this."

[needsacatchphrase]

"Hey, you're a friend of mine too. Not just Thor's."

Also, she never met Reed Richards to feel bad about it.

[scarlet_chaos]

To be honest, if you had met this Reed Richards you still wouldn't have felt bad.

"You are," Wanda said, pulling away. "I'm glad I got to see you here. I wasn't sure...I hurt someone in town, and I don't know if it got out."

Hence her hesitation to ever go back to the island again.

[needsacatchphrase]

But what about Sue?

"Do you think you can make amends for it?" Jane asked.

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda shrugged. "I don't know. Not really up to me, is it?"

[needsacatchphrase]

Jane took a deep breath and nodded. "You can try, at least. If they accept, that's up to them. But if you don't try, you'll never know."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I will. Eventually." Probably. Right now it just seemed best to give Annie some space. "Just need some time to sort myself out."

[needsacatchphrase]

"Yes," Jane agreed. "You can show me what you've helped build and I can... well, not understand any of it. But I should! I've broken a few cabinets back in Fandom already."

[scarlet_chaos]

"I hope you like your cabinets slightly crooked." Because Wanda was still kind of bad at it.

[needsacatchphrase]

"Better than broken?" Jane ventured.

[scarlet_chaos]

"That's what I like to hear," Wanda joked. "Low expectations are key."

[needsacatchphrase]

"Well, let's take into consideration that I've managed to eat pancakes as made by Thor." Which. "He called them panflaps. Constantly."

[scarlet_chaos]

"That's actually extremely adorable." Of course he'd call them that.

[needsacatchphrase]

"They were actually pretty good by--" The end. Which was a depressing thing to say, so she didn't!

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda gave Jane a sympathetic smile. She knew better than anyone about the depressing awkwardness of delving back into those kind of memories. "I get it."

[needsacatchphrase]

Jane shot her a grateful look for that. "Let's get you some mystery roast meat."

It could be magical or alien or just a really big pig! Who really knew?
