Jane sits in her trailer home, reading through the children's book about Norse mythology. She puts the book down for a moment to look out of the window next to her makeshift bed. The astrophysicist is jolted out of her daydream when there is a banging on the door of the mobile home. Jane whips her head in the direction of the door before she brushes the black and white blanket that covers her legs off. She quickly gets up and walks over to the door, pausing for just a moment. When she opens the door, she lets out a gasp when she sees a highly intoxicated Erik slung over Thor's shoulders. She backs away from the door as she mutters, "Oh my God. Is he okay?"

Thor steps into the trailer as he smiles while replying, "He's fine. Not injured at all." Erik hits his head off of the stand that sits next to the door of the trailer, groaning out in pain as he does so. Thor lets out a chuckle as he apologizes to the older scientist, "I'm sorry, my friend."

Jane tries to get a better look at Erik as she asks, "What happened?"

The blonde prince turns to look at Jane as he replies to the astrophysicist, "We drank," Jane looks back to Thor with her mouth agape, "We fought, he made his ancestors proud."

The short astrophysicist rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. She points to her makeshift bed before instructing the blonde Asgardian, "Put him on the bed."

Thor walks over to the bed before he bends forward, resting Erik down onto the mattress with a little help from Jane. When Erik meets Jane's eyes, he drunkenly smiles at her before he groans as he is plopped down onto the bed. Thor stands upright as he places a comforting hand on Erik's back as he lets out a boisterous laugh.

Jane inches closer to the two as Erik shakes his head and tells Thor, "I still don't think you're the God of Thunder." The older scientist pats the tall blonde's face as he adds, "But you ought to be." Jane looks away as Thor lets out another laugh.

The blonde prince walks over to the astrophysicist, who rubs a hand over her face before the two make their way over to the open door of the trailer. Thor stops in front of the open door, turning around to face the shorter brunette. Jane looks up at Thor expectantly as the blonde looks around the trailer before asking, "Are these your chambers?"

The astrophysicist glances around at the mobile home before she shakes her head and replies, "Uh, it's more of a temporary living situation." She looks down to her left and spots an opened box of cereal and a used bowl for the breakfast food. Jane bends down and picks it up, causing Thor to watch her action as she says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't," she places the box of cereal down before she opens up a cupboard, "Usually have," Jane puts both box and bowl into the cupboard, glancing over her shoulder at Thor, "Guests." The astrophysicist turns her head back toward the cupboard and closes it before turning back to Thor as she scratches behind her ear while saying, "Actually, I never have guests."

Thor slightly smiles at the shorter woman, who stares at him for a moment before she shakes her head and turns back toward the cupboard. She opens up the wooden cupboard and removes the dirty dish from it as she mutters to herself, "That's not the right place for it." Jane closes the cupboard as she places the bowl into the sink that has a few other dirty dishes contained within it. She covers the sink with a towel as she apologizes once more, "I'm sorry." She turns around to face the blonde prince as she asks, "Um... Can we go outside?"
