Thor: Soulmate from Surgery

Everyone is born with a soulmate. We were taught in grammar school that the universe has a plan for us and who we shall live our lives with. This was done by the soulmate tattoo that shows the name of your "person."

Y/N used to have sparkles in her eye when listening to her teacher. The teacher said that the tattoo comes when you are 10 years old. She would be jittery, looking at her teachers simmering tattoo on her forearm with the letters 'Thomas' on it. It was small, but noticeable to others. Y/N would look at her arm in wonder.

When Y/N was 9, she and her friend stayed up until midnight on her 10th birthday to see the tattoo. "Ooh, who do you think it will be?" Y/N questioned. "Imagine if it's someone in our neighborhood. Or Tim who sits next to you in class? Or -"

Her friend was stopped by a small light that shone on the back of her ankle. Their eyes shone in the light as Y/N sat down and moved her left ankle close to her. Her smile faded as an inscription appeared in what looked like swirls. Y/N was too stunned to speak.

"Ummm, I've never seen such a name before," her friend stated. Y/N was just thinking about what kind of lettering it could be. "Oh oh," Y/F/N exclaimed. "Didn't Mrs. Plumley say that names are in different languages?"

They both ran as quietly as they could to the computer room in Y/N's house and searched up information about the lettering. They came at a dead end when they searched through multiple language databases and nothing looked like the inscription on her ankle.

That was a while ago. Y/N usually never talked about her soulmate after that time when people brought it up. She became a workaholic, and became devoted in new emerging technologies, specific radiation. One of her professors was close with Dr. Banner and recommended Y/N's ideas to him. He became intrigued and brought her on his team.

Y/N had been working in the new Avengers Tower for some time now in the health wing with Dr. Cho, Dr. Banner and a team of health professionals. They were super kind and allowed Y/N to produce more efficient  X-ray scanning machines.

It started off as a terrible day: Her Starbucks order she made in advance was taken by someone else and she didn't have the time for them to make another, one of the scanning devices she's trying to implement within her new design keeps shutting down randomly, and to top it all off, Y/N is only wearing one sock.

She had her head on the workspace in the lab, frustratingly hitting it against the table. Rebecca rushed into the room, and Y/N looked up to see her out of breath. "Clint's...injured," Rebecca said between breaths. Y/N pushed past her and ran to the health wing.

Clint's eyes were closed as he was rolled on a stretcher to Dr. Cho and Y/N. His body was badly bruised, and there was a deep red mark that was getting larger on his right side. Y/N pulling down the scanner towards his gash. She aimed it using a laser point as it appeared on the screen attached. "Gun shot wound, an imbedded 30mm caliber is about," Y/N looked at the screen to let Dr. Cho know the insertion. "Oh, that's deep," she breathed, as the X-ray showed that the entire shell was very close to his ribcage. "He needs to be under surgery, stat."

He was then rolled into the surgery room where Dr. Cho and Dr. Banner worked on Clint. Y/N only did the machinery within the medical field, and she always felt sick to her stomach when something like this occurs. First, she went to the bathroom to see if she needs to throw up, thankfully that didn't happen. She got situated in a chair outside the surgical room, her left leg bouncing up and down as her elbows were on her knees. Located in the hallway, Y/N heard the footsteps of people coming her way. It was the Avengers running in a stellar formation with Steve at the front, Thor to his left, Tony behind Steve's right shoulder while Natasha was trailing behind.

It was the first time Y/N had seen all Avengers together as they looked through the glass pane that separated them from their teammate. It was also the first time Y/N had seen Thor up close. He was standing right next to her and questioning them about Clint. She had only heard Bruce and Tony talk about him from time to time because he is in Asgard or some other part of the galaxy.

Her eyes trailed his beautiful physique: his long golden yet slightly mangy locks, his blue eyes, the sweat dripping down his tricep, the chest plate, his long red cape, her name on his ankle, the funky shoes he wore. Her eyed went back to his left ankle to see the impossible. Y/N, spelt in a beautiful cursive font. Surely there had to be other Y/N's in this world, Y/N thought, brushing the idea of Thor being her soulmate away.

Thor turned to ask Tony another question when his cape smacked Y/N. She let out an "ah" as he turned toward her. He pulled is cape aside and said, "Oh my! I am terribly sorry about that." He smiled as he looked down at Y/N, admiring her features. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and responded, "It's no big deal."

Then, Bruce emerged from the room and everyone's head wiped towards him. "Clint will be okay. That bullet wound was very close to killing him, but thanks to Y/N's scanner, we were able to see that it stayed intact on impact. So, we were able to take it out with no harm done." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Y/N smiled sheepishly as she stood up to get the finished product from the other room to file. "Congratulations Lady Y/N! You're work cured him!" Thor boomed as he slapped your back in excitement. His strength made you stumble a bit in your footing, as you fell to the ground. "Not again, me. Again, I'm truly -" He stopped his sentence to examine your ankle that showed your tattoo. He squatted down and yanked at your ankle. "Do you mind?" You questioned as he pulled your ankle towards his face.

A smile grew on his features as he picked you up and twirled you around. When he put you down, everyone looked at him with a confused look. Y/N broke the silence by saying, "What did you do that for?"

"That's my name on the back of your ankle." Y/N was bewildered by this, "It's can't be. I've looked up every language possible and there's nothing that looks like it."

"That's because it's in my native tongue: Asgardian. I too could not decipher your name at first because it is in English." A look of amazement and light was brought to Y/N eyes that Thor was admiring. She took his collar and brought him down to kiss her. Taken aback at first, but soon he melted into the kiss.

"You don't know how long I've waited to that."
