SAM'S POV

My name is Samantha Morgan, though most people call me Sam. I'm 19 years old, and I live in New York City with my little brother and sister. This is about the time I met Thor and his brother, Loki.

It all started when I headed to work a few months ago. I guess I should mention that I work for Tony Stark as his secretary. For some ridiculous reason, I had decided it would be faster for me to cut through the alleys. I had just gone into one of these when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a group of guys following me. I started walking faster, eventually breaking into a run. "Of all the days to wear heels!" I thought. They caught me before I could get to the street.

"Where you going, sweetheart? Let's have some fun..." The leader pushed me up against a wall, covered my mouth, and licked his lips. "Mmmm... I think you are going to be the most delicious one." I closed my eyes to keep the image of him coming any closer out of my head. I heard a crash and a scream or two. When I opened my eyes, I saw a bunch of guys on the ground, passed out. I also saw this tall, gorgeous, blonde haired guy standing over them.

"Dishonorable dogs, attacking a woman like that. Haven't you been taught how to treat a woman?" He then turned to me. "Are you all right?" I gulped and nodded.

"Thanks. Who are you?" He was wearing some weird battle armor stuff, but with his blonde hair and blue eyes, I could almost overlook it.

He smiled at me. "I am Thor of Asgard. What is your name, sweet maiden?"

I smiled back at him. "Samantha. Most people call me Sam, though. Well, I better head to work. So, thanks again!" I turned to go.

"Wait! Let me escort you to your destination. It would be safer for you." I smiled again.

"Sure, why not?"

He offered me his arm. I giggled and took it. We started walking, and Thor started asking about my life. "Have you lived here your whole life?"

"Pretty much. The only time I wasn't living here was when my grandparents moved me and my siblings out to New Jersey. When I turned 18, I took guardianship of my siblings, and moved back here. Greatest decision of my life, besides applying for a job at Stark Tower."

He looked confused. "Why did you live with your grandparents?" he asked.

I was silent for a while. "My parents died when I was 16. I didn't have any aunts or uncles, so I had to go and live with my mom's parents. I hated every minute of it," I said bitterly. "You probably don't want to hear my ranting. Oh, we're here." We stopped outside of the building. "Well, I guess this is where we say goodbye."

"Not quite. May I call upon you this evening, my lady?"

I smiled. "You may. Come to this address at 8. I'll see you then." Then I went into the building and up to the 176th floor where my office area was. My friend and fellow secretary Stephanie waved at me. "Sam! What took you so long? Stark has been asking for you for the past 15 minutes! He needs you to order some stuff."

I groaned. "I'd better go see what he wants this time. Be back in a bit." Don't get me wrong, I love my job, its just my boss. Tony can be extremely annoying, but he's been better since he started dating Pepper. I knock on the door of his office. "You needed something, Mr. Stark?"

Tony looked up at me from his desk. "Sam, Sam, Sam. How many times have I told you, it's Tony, not Mr. Stark. Geez, you make me sound old."

"Well, you are old. Now, what was it you needed?"

"I'm only 28! I'm not that much older than you. I have a list for you somewhere... And here it is." He hands a very long list of things for me to order online. I sighed. "Planning another party, are you, Mr. Sta- Tony?"
