Warning: Minor spoilers for Jurassic Park (but really if you haven't seen it what are you doing with your life?)

—-Mary—-

We sit on the couch giggling a bit as Loki's car pulls out of the driveway. Now that he's gone I ask Sam about what had happened earlier. They seem to be in a healthy relationship but his tone with her had been a bit cruel.

"So what was that about earlier?"

Sam shrugs looking unbothered.

"Oh nothing really he just sounds like that when he's worried."

I raise my eyebrows.

"You shouldn't let him talk to you like that."

"Mary it's fine he just gets scared and when he's scared he looks for control so I let him have some, it eases his worry. He knows I could kick his ass."

I giggle then realize suddenly that that's probably not even an exaggeration. With her wielding of Mjölnir and her abilities she probably could. She goes on smirking a little.

"Don't repeat that you'll hurt his ego."

I nod with a smirk of my own.

"We wouldn't want to do that."

I pause I had thought of something a bit ago but didn't know how to ask them.

"So Thanksgiving is coming up it would be awesome if you and Loki could crash Thanksgiving at the mansion for a couple minutes. They're having it the-"

"Saturday before. I know I just don't think it would be responsible for me to put you guys at risk for that selfish a reason."

I nod I'm disappointed but I understand, she's on thin ice with the M.R.D.

"Then maybe I could come here Thanksgiving day?"

She nods.

"We could have a small Thanksgiving here could you tell Logan, Laura, Kurt, and Jubilee and see if they could come? I'd like to see everyone but they barely made it work on their first visit so we'll try a smaller group, just the people I'm closest to."

I nod.

"Yeah I will. ...ummm will Thor be there?

My cheeks go red as Sam laughs.

"Yes Thor will be there if everything works out as planned."

We begin discussing food and other preparations. We decide that since New Asgard doesn't really celebrate Thanksgiving and won't be busy we will go out to eat at Drekka to make things easier. This makes sense seeing as Sam seems comfortable with that restaurant. Eventually we hear Loki pull into the driveway. He bursts through the door with fast food bags in hand.

"Your savior is here!!"

Sam smiles and walks up to meet him at the door he presents her with the bag containing her food in an overly fancy way. She giggles taking it.

"Indeed he is."

"And for you Lady Mary."

He hands me my bag and I giggle he's quite the gentleman.

"You're my hero!"

I dig in he hadn't forgotten my french fries. We all eat even Loki is eating a cheeseburger. It's an odd sight to see him doing something so normal my whole life all I'd ever heard about him was about how scary he was. All I'd ever seen were news clips from the battle of New York and glimpses of him on the news, reporters scrutinizing his every action. Me being equally as suspicious and wary of him mimicking my parents, but now that I've met the guy it all seems a bit ridiculous.

He's no terrorist nor is he as scary as I was led to believe. He's actually kind of a goofball, a stabby, dangerous, goofball.  It also amazes me how my relationship with my sister has grown in the past few days we were practically strangers when I arrived but now I feel so close to her. I'm abruptly pulled from my thoughts by Sam.

"Mary! Earth to Mary."

"Oh? Sorry I wasn't here for a second what did you say?"

"I asked what movie we should watch to culture this man."

Loki rolls his eyes slightly still smiling.

"Has he seen Jurassic Park?"

Sam glances at Loki he shakes his head.

"Jurassic Park it is then."

Sam pulls it up on the TV and it starts. We watch for a bit. When Jeff Goldblum appears on the screen Loki looks taken aback. Sam notices this.

"What's wrong Lo'?"

Loki looks visibly weirded out.

"That character he just... reminds me of someone."

Ian Malcolm starts laughing on screen

Ian Malcolm starts laughing on screen. Then proceeds to simply be Jeff Goldblum at the point that Ian grabs John Hammond's leg Loki looks even more weirded out.

"My god he even acts like him."

Loki seems to somehow get over this and enjoy the film. Sam and Loki both comment on how one of the characters looks almost exactly like someone they know saying they're like the two eyed version of Nick Fury whatever that means. At the point the raptors have escaped their enclosure and are hunting Muldoon and he utters the famous line 'clever girl' before being killed. Loki leans over to Sam.

"Is this why you were so frightened in the Savage Land?"

"Partially."

We spend the rest of the night watching the movie. I feel like we all enjoyed it, I mean who couldn't? It's Jurassic fucking Park. I head to bed knowing I'm in for a long trip tomorrow.
