When Thor finally arrived home he had to take a minute, toast a poptart, eat a poptart, and converse with Lady Natasha before he realised something was off. One of his slippers was missing.
One of his limited edition Hello Kitty Slippers was missing.
Gifted to him by the often-elusive brother of his, Loki.
They were a well and truly prized possession of his, and no one would touch them.
And now, one was missing.
He'd had them since he stepped out of the car Stark had sent to pick him up. They must have been lost between there and the door. Unless . . . were they stolen?
Someone had stolen his Limited Edition Hello Kitty Slippers?
How dare they?Thor stormed over to the living room where his family stood chatting animatedly.
"Earth's Mighty Heroes, they call you."
Everyone turned to look at him but he narrowed his eyes. "Protectors of the land, they say. Trusted, they say."
"Thor, what's wrong?" Natasha shot him a concerned look.
"Well, some of you may be honourable, many of you perhaps, but at least one person in this room is scum."
"I mean -" Tony said, offended, with his hand over his heart.
"Man of Iron, are you admitting it is you who committed his great act of thievery?"
Stark blinked, "it was I who did what?"
"So was it not you?"
"I mean . . . I don't think so?"
Thor, frustrated, slammed his foot down. "I will find this thief. Each of you will be interrogated until I find the one who has theived my own possession."
"Did you lose meow meow again?" Clint asked from the couch.
"Meow meow? Eye of Hawks what do you mean to imply?"
"You know," Barton made a smashing motion, "your hammer?"
"Mjolnir remains within my possession." Thor glanced at Sam making to leave, "Son of Wil, you will be interrogated first."
"What?" Sam asked, aghast. "Look, I just came to get the Captain Crunch."
"You have also taken the Captains Crunch?" Thor grinned, finally having found his culprit.
"No, man. The Captain Crunch." Sam shook the cereal box in Thor's face before making to leave again.
"Where do you go, So of Wil? You are yet to be questioned!"
"Look, man, what's your problem? I just want my Captain Crunch!"
"I require my missing possession. Where have you been since the eve of this day?"
Sam shot him a look that could have been suspicious, or perhaps even mildly annoyed. "Look man, I woke up. I went on a run with Steve, I polished Redwing, and then ate breakfast with Nat. No crimes here!"
"And you, Man Of America?"
Steve shifted almost uncomfortably in his seat.
"I don't see what this has to do with anything."
"So, it was you! HAND OVER THE SLIPPER!" Thor demanded, summoning Mjolnir in a click of his fingers, he stood over the fidgeting man on the couch.
"Well, no, but -"
"Then where were you?"
"I - I, well, when I first came out of the ice I didn't really understand the culture of the world and it didn't make much sense so I've been trying to catch up. I mean I know what memes and billboards are now but I -"
"Man of America, where were you?"
"Yeah," Natasha had an evil glint in her eyes. "What were you doing Stevie?"
Steve shot her a wicked glare and proceeded to open his jaw slowly and surely, preparing to admit to whatever he'd done.
"I was just trying to catch up on life and -"
That was when Peter - Spider-Man - burst in through the door, "WHY IS STEVE TRENDING ON TIKTOK?"
"I mean," Steve flushed red, "I didn't really know what I was doing."
"WHO TAUGHT YOU RENEGADE?" Peter gaped, "I was going to do that!"
"The Princess of Wakanda was very kind to us and -"
"sHuRI THAT BINCH! hOw DaRe?"
Peter stormed back out of the room and Steve shrunk back into the couch further, the blush on his face practically glowing. "I'm sorry I didn't think that was going to happen, it's really no big deal."
"Breathe, Steve." Sam said, with a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
"Man of America, what is the Toking Tik? Have you used it to steal my Slipper™?"
"No, it's a dancing thing -"
Fortunately, Steve was saved from any further embarrassment when a knock came from the window, where a feminine figure wearing a ski mask was stuck to the outside of the building.
A parcel from her hand broke through the window and skidded across the floor to Thor's feet.
Before anyone could stop him, warn him it was most likely a bomb, he dove for it and ripped off the cover to reveal his pink Hello Kitty slipper, covered in sea water.
"My Slipper™!" Thor roared with glee.
"Yeah," the figure spoke, "my boyfriend stole it after you took his poptarts, my apologies."
"You are - you are - you are Athena spawn?"
"What," the figure snarled sarcastically, "can you smell it?"
"No, Child of Athena, you are wilting away from the spider on the floor."
The spider in question was a wolf spider that slowly scuttled away from all the noise and coincidentally, unfortunantly, toward the child of Athena.
"Get it away!!" She shouted, leaning just an inch to far away from the glass ane she was holding herself up on, and plummeted backwards off the building.
"OHNO!" Natasha yelled, leaning over the balcony.
"Thor, can you grab her, will you make it?" Steve roared. "WE HAVE TO GET HER!"
The girl falling, to her credit, did not scream, but instead fell limp towards the Hudson river flowing morosely below.
Sam grabbed his Redwing wordlessly and strapped it to his back, about to leap out of the window, but just as he hit the open air and prepped to dive, the falling body disappeared.
Poof. Magic. Gone.
All eyes turned to Thor, who was ignoring the chaos, his arms wrapped around the soggy slipper, "my love, I can't believe I almost lost you."
Well, Thor met Annabeth, whether he realised it or not -
Which Avenger should they meet next?
