Thor had seen a lot in his years of life, but he was constantly amazed by all the new things there were to discover on Midgard. The Midgardians' lifespans were not even close to comparable with his own, but he was ceaselessly astonished by how they managed to fill up the short amount of time they had before they departed for the next realm.
On Asgard, everything was the same. They always ate the same food, watched the same entertainment, did the same activities and shared the same values. If one did not, one was soon ostracised, as was the case with Loki. Thor had never seen any problems with that, until he had been banished to Midgard and had learned that a place could have so much more to it. For Midgard was a place of variety, of choice, of tolerance. Acceptance. Of course, there was a lot of bigotry and hatred between people who did not share the same values or believe in the same religion, but compared to Asgard and the other realms Thor had visited in his life? It was practically a paradise for individuality.
For beings who lived for such a short time, Midgardians did seem to lead lives truly rich in the diversity of their experiences. Thor's shield siblings in particular appeared to have an extraordinary amount of tales to share about the strangest things they had done in their years of life. Especially pertaining to dangerous situations, humorously awkward courting attempts and odd and remarkable people.
The Man of Iron, in particular, seemed to know a great deal many of the latter, although he never told stories about his admittedly stranger friends. At least, not until after the rest of them had encountered them in some way. After that, he tended to talk quite a lot about his friends and their shared experiences and deeds. Although, Thor had noticed that Natasha was yet to gain a clear answer as to how Tony had first met with the detective and the soldier.
It was with some surprise, however, that Thor met the next of Tony's strange friends. This was due to the fact that they descended from the sky in a space craft. Thor was aware that humanity had made small advances in terms of space travel that had allowed them to visit the moon, but the vehicle that landed on the roof of the Avenger's Tower was one that had clearly visited other planets. It was rather disc shaped and grey with a sort of arrow shape coming off of it, but the design was like nothing that Thor had been shown by his friends of Midgard.
Thor had been flying back to the Tower after going on a date with Jane when he saw the craft make its final landing on the roof of the 'penthouse'. Not knowing if the ship was hostile or not, Thor had flew to the balcony as fast as his hammer could carry him. His fellow Avengers all looked up, startled, when he raced into the common area. The Captain had been reading a book while Natasha, Tony and Clint were watching a movie which Thor recognised as Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The doctor was nowhere to be seen, but Thor absently recalled that he was spending the week with his love, Lady Betty, who Thor had yet to meet, but had heard nothing but praise about from both Banner and Tony, despite the fact that she was the daughter of Banner's most despised enemy.
"Thor! What's going on?!" The Captain asked, startled, and began rising.
"My friends, I just saw some form of space craft preparing to land on the roof of the Tower and I came to warn you!"
"What!?" was shouted by his friends, except for the Man of Iron, before everyone scrambled to their feet and began firing questions. None where answered and all were promptly cut off by the sound of Tony's spirit butler speaking.
"Sir, my sensors are picking up a space ship which had landed on the helipad."
The Captain quickly took charge, "OK, everyone go suit up and grab your gear. This could be an attack, or not, but we can't take any chances so I'm going to-"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Everyone looked to Tony who stood up, clearly the calmest of them all, and had held up his hands in an attempt to pacify everyone, "Guys, I haven't received any prior contact or attempts at communication, but then again, pretty much everyone I know who owns a spaceship can never be bothered giving me a heads up before they show up. So before we go into panic mode..." Tony waited until everyone was reasonably calm before turning back to Thor, "Thor, the spaceship you saw; describe it. What colour was it?"
