[Natasha wraps her hands with tape, watching Thor just out of the corner of her eye. She's not entirely sure that she's the best match for him training, but... in some ways, that's all the more reason to practice, isn't it?

Really only one way to find out.]

Have anything you want to work on in particular?

Hi! It's Clark.

I'm finally off the Marsiva.

[Not long after this fun time - Sokka's sending you a message God Buddy. ]

What the heck. What the heck, Thor? With the Marsvia?

What

The

Heck?!!

[ Sometime after Katara receives the memories of a certain attack on the Marsiva, she goes looking for Thor.

Because he can breathe in space.

Because he attacked their link to the Atroma.

Because he's her shipmate and she would like to understand what the heck he can actually do.

And because now she understands why he was sick.

Basically, someone needs to go WTH at him, and Katara is up for that job.

She just needs to find him first. ]

[ Stomping. At first, she thought she was imagining it.

That was yesterday. But it hasn't stopped. It happened this morning, again, the walls of the ship echoing as Thor stomped by, and it's happening again this evening. Katara pauses in her preparation of the evening's meal and frowns in concern. She'd let it go yesterday, but whatever was bothering Thor (obviously, something was bother him) hadn't gone away.

She didn't think twice about going after the obviously angry god, her only consideration was to wipe the knife clean before putting it down on the counter and hurrying out after the sound of Thor passing by in the ship's hallways. He's already made considerable progress down the hall, and she hurries after him. ]

Thor?

Did you know there were two Infinity Stones on Earth?

If you're trying to put off paperwork, I'm just going to give you mine.

[Wanda gives that network message a little space before texting - she can tell something's wrong and she doesn't need powers, just eyes and ears.]

Are you all right?

[It's been a long couple of weeks, but the Vision is finally awake again - and one of the first things he'd heard about was that something had happened with Thor and Loki. So he shoots off a quick text once he's taken care of more immediate problems.]

My apologies for the long nap. Are you all right? Is there anything I should be aware of?

You should come by the office.

My dear friend,

As you are most likely aware, an unusual opportunity has presented itself. I had always treated the question of whether I would stay or return home as academic, as we had no direct control over such matters. However, there is now a very real possibility that we may have the ability to make that choice. Given that that is the case, I wish to make an informed choice rather than an ignorant one.

It seems to me that you are farther along in the timeline than I am. Is this correct? If so, I am curious as to how much damage would be done if I chose to remain, compared to if I returned. It is always my intent to preserve life, but - sa with Mr. Stark's disastrous creation of Ultron - I am also aware that intent does not guarantee results. As it stands, I would choose to return home, knowing I have responsibilities there and that staying would be selfish; I have often maintained that my life here is better not only due to the acceptance of my fellow passengers but because I understand far better than I do at home the difference between wanting to blend in and needing that very acceptance. I would regret giving that understanding up, but I realize it may be necessary.

My life here is beautiful, but a thing is not beautiful because it lasts. Transience only makes a thing more valuable.

I would value your input on this matter. Thank you in advance.
