The Reaper's Keeper

Chapter 5

You're starting to pick up a few things about yourself, like for instance, you dislike the taste of broccoli Dr. Cho made you eat. You do, however, have no choice but to have a balanced, healthy meal, as she stated. You kinda wish you could have leftovers Natasha has to offer once again.

Natasha, on the other hand, finds it amusing whenever disgust is evident in your face after consuming your 'green' meals. She'll say to your face that it's necessary to eat your veggies while she eats her own food, no veggies in sight. You felt kinda envious of that.

You don't get why your health is that important when, clearly, you can handle yourself pretty well.

The tests had began but they're different from what you had accustomed to. They were painless and gentle, and Natasha was always by your side making sure of that.

This went on for a week, and you're fairly attached to Natasha at this point. She'd show you things you might have missed out on as a kid, such as television.

When the two of you were lounging in the living room one day, she let you browse the channel you might like, then your attention was caught by some cartoon show that time.

After finding that out, you'd spend your mornings eating breakfast in front of the TV, watching Doc McStuffins with eyes full of wonder and amusement, Steve occasionally joining both of you. It made the veggies bearable for you as you watched Doc McStuffins treat the toys with utmost care.

You had just finished eating your meal and the show had ended when you realized that Natasha was gone beside you. You must have been so engrossed with the show that you momentarily forgot Natasha had said something about being back in five so you asked JARVIS where she is.

"Miss Natasha is at the landing pad. Would you like me to call her over, Miss Y/N?" You told the AI, there's no need for that.

You start to walk back to the kitchen to clean up when you notice a large, built man rummaging through the cupboards. You stopped because you hadn't seen this man before and you were feeling intimidated by him. There's a cackle of power and energy around him that tells every nerve in your body to be careful.

"Aha! There you are!" His loud, booming voice startled you, causing you to make a noise and alerting the man to your presence. "Oh, hey! You're that lady from the pod!" He pointed the box he's holding in your direction.

You stood still, trying to observe him. "Are you an Avenger?" You cautiously asked.

"Yes. And please excuse my lack of manners, I am Thor - the god of thunder!" He confidently strides in front of you, which caught you off guard so you take a step back. Thor sees this and stops his advance.

"I apologize, I did not mean to scare you. I simply wish to welcome you and know your name." He held his hands out in surrender and slowly backed up.

"It's okay, you just surprised me." Realizing he's not that much of a threat because of his intention, you continue your way to the sink to place your plate down first. "My name's Y/N."

"Phew, that's good to know. Nice to meet you, Lady Y/N. I would like to offer a formal apology by sharing this delicious human invention of all time, the pop tarts!" You curiously eyed the opened box of 'pop tart' he was offering in front of you.

You reached into the box and gingerly drew out what you presumed was a 'pop tart'. Thor is watching you with a giant smile. He's getting less intimidating every second, you thought.

The pop tart looked way more appealing when you opened from its wrapper than those veggies you just had, so you didn't hesitate to take a bite. A giant smile made its way on your face as you feast on it.
