“I’m effing starving. I’ve been on cleanup crew all day, and that shit takes it out of you.” Summer ran a hand over her face as if wiping away the thought. “Let’s be indulgent and get a dozen, and go sit outside. I want to hear about how you met Thor, of all people, and got tangled up with SHIELD.”
A dozen? Jane had almost forgotten how much she’d liked Summer back in high school, but it was starting to come back to her. She grinned. “A dozen doughnuts sounds perfect,” she said, and went up to the counter.
“Oh, that’s one hell of a story. It all sort of goes together, too.” She hadn’t really told it to many people, because most people she knew now were well aware of exactly what had happened. She ordered their dozen doughnuts, an assortment of glazed, powdered, jelly-filled, and chocolate, as well as a very large cup of coffee for herself, waiting for Summer before she headed outside and found them a table to sit at.
“How crazy would it sound if I told you that I met Thor because he crash-landed on Earth after he was kicked out of Asgard and I hit him with my car?”
Summer spluttered into the doughnut she was putting into her mouth. “I would say, that sounds exactly like you. We gotta find you a driver!” She licked her fingers contemplatively. “Kicked out of Asgard, huh? Is that why the alien invasion? They don’t give us peons a whole lot of information.”
