18. Lame Donald (Part 2)

Two months later, New Mexico.

Astronomer Jane Foster has finally finished her master's thesis, and it's time for her to leave the place where she has lived for more than three months.

Her companion, Dr. Eric Savage, and the assistant she invited, Daisy Louise, a third-year student, couldn't wait any longer.

Although the scenery in this small town is good, although it is very free to stay here, it is not as comfortable as life in a big city after all.

"Come on, secret barbecue!"

Thor in an apron put a large plate of barbecue on the table in the garage, and the young Daisy brandished a knife to cut a piece to taste, while Dr. Eric was still sorting out the materials, and the quiet Jane was packing wearing their own clothes.

They are on the plane tomorrow morning, and they are going back to New York. Jane and Dr. Eric have to go to Europe, and they will probably not be able to return to this place for a long time.

So this meal is equivalent to the break-up meal of this small team.

"Wow, this meat is really good."

Daisy is a lively girl. While cutting the meat, she said to Thor who was drinking beer beside her:

"How did you make it?"

"secret."

Thor blinked and said:

"If I can't find a job in the future, I will rely on this hand to make money to support myself. I can't disclose it casually."

"Thor, are you really not going to New York with us?"

Dr. Eric smelled the aroma of barbecue, and the glutton in his stomach was growling, which prevented him from concentrating on his work.

After weighing for a few seconds, he resolutely left the chair, sat at the dining table, and said to Thor while eating:

"I have some friends in New York, maybe I can introduce you to a job."

"No, Eric, thank you for your kindness."

Thor is very open-minded.

As he said, what is difficult is the process of making a decision. Once a decision is made, the subsequent things are not so difficult.

He leaned back on the chair, put his cane aside, drank beer lazily, and said:

"I was very busy before, but now I'm free, and I plan to relax for a while, don't worry about me, if I decide to go to that New York, I will take the initiative to contact you."

While talking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and shook it. He said:

"I have your phone number."

"All right."

Dr. Eric stopped persuading Thor. He lived to his age and understood a truth. There is no permanent banquet in this world. They stayed together for more than 2 months, and maybe it was time to say goodbye.

"It's interesting what you told me, Thor."

A moment later Jane came to the table with a notebook in her hand, and the pretty intellectual girl with long chestnut hair and brown eyes said to Thor:

"I have been studying it recently, and I found that your theory is internally logical and self-consistent. Although it sounds a bit incredible, it is completely contrary to the existing astronomical theoretical basis, but maybe, maybe your theory is the right one. of."

She looked at Thor, and she said:

"I will continue to study, and if I have results in the future, I will share this honor with you."

"No, Jane, no."

Thor waved his hand as if he didn't care, took a sip of his beer, and said:

"I don't know much. In our place, according to what you said, I'm a complete scumbag. I just told you the most basic things, and the rest are all your own research."

"It's as if I was just a sentinel who brought you into the battlefield, and you killed the enemy general with your own hands. You deserve that honor, and you don't need to share it with anyone."

Having said that, Thor turned his head and winked at Jane, and he said:

"What's more, I still need to keep a low profile. I don't have an ID, a driver's license, or a passport. I'm a 'black household' now. It's not good to be too famous."

Jane still wanted to say something, but Dr. Eric beside her suddenly raised the wine bottle, and he said loudly:

"Come on, let's celebrate the completion of Jane's thesis, and also celebrate the successful conclusion of our scientific expedition this time. Everyone can relax and drink tonight. We will go home early tomorrow morning."

"cheers!"

Daisy, a young girl with a mouth full of oil from eating barbecue, also raised her wine bottle and cheered, and Thor would not refuse an invitation from a friend for a drink.

In short, this meal was very pleasant and comfortable.

More than an hour later, Thor limped and sent the drunk Dr. Eric back to his RV, and Jane also sent the drunk Daisy back to the room. Er also came to help with a cane.

"Thor."

When Thor moved the table to the other side of the garage, Jane behind him suddenly said:

"Are you really a prince?"

"Why do you ask?"

Thor turned his head and leaned against the wall with a smile, looking at Jane with flushed cheeks.

The always restrained astronomer also drank a lot tonight. Thor looked at her, pointed to his head, and said jokingly:

"Don't you know everything? I was talking nonsense those few days. Well, I was hit by Daisy's car and shot by that crazy girl with a Taser, which short-circuited my brain."

"Can a short-circuited person suddenly become a genius?"

Jane picked up her notebook, she went to Thor, and she said:

"I don't believe that an ordinary person would know these...these terms based on myths and legends, but in a very scientific, even extremely advanced way, some of the truths of this group of stars were combined in front of my eyes."

"I'm a scientist, Thor."

Jane stood in front of Thor, her eyes were a little blurred, she said to Thor:

"I don't believe in nonsensical myths, but I believe in data and what I have researched with my own hands... What you know is definitely not something you imagined out of thin air. You come from another world, right?"

"A world more advanced than Earth, a world that has broken the mysteries of the stars, I guess...you were not talking nonsense, you were Thor! The legendary Thor!"

"No, Jane."

Thor turned his head away, he didn't look into Jane's eyes, and he said softly:

"I'm not, I'm just an outcast, I'm an ordinary person, just like you."

"You used to be!"

Jane was not reluctant, she grabbed Thor's collar indulgently, and under the influence of alcohol, she said to this somewhat lame, mysterious, handsome and masculine young man in front of her:

"You can't fool me, Thor, you were once the legendary Thor. The night we met you, Eric and Daisy didn't see it, but I did, that colorful halo that suddenly appeared , it's like a channel..."

"That's the Rainbow Bridge, right? You emerged from that Rainbow Bridge, and then in the wind and sand, Daisy accidentally bumped into you."

Jane looked into Thor's eyes, and she said:

"You liar! You lied to us, you lied to everyone."

"You're drunk, Jane."

Thor stretched out his hand, put it gently on Jane's shoulder, and pushed Jane back who was smelling of alcohol, he said softly:

"It's time to go to rest, you have to fly tomorrow."

"I want you to come with me, Thor."

Jane took Thor's hand, and the always genteel astronomer spoke her mind at this moment, saying:

"I can help you, Thor, you can tell me more, I can continue to study the theory of the Rainbow Bridge, and maybe one day, I can send you home."

"I can't go home."

Thor looked into Jane's eyes, and he said with a little sadness:

"I was exiled because I foolishly insisted on my principles. I will spend my life on earth."

"Then, is there one of your principles that when a lady invites you, you will rudely refuse her?"

Jane snorted, and looking at Thor in the garage light, she said:

"Eric always treats me like a kid, but I'm an adult and I know how to organize my life...and you..."

Jane stretched out her fingers and stroked Thor's beard, she said frivolously:

"There are very few men as masculine as you, just treat it as... a good memory, okay?"

"You're drunk, Jane."

Thor resisted a little, but the next moment, Jane's hand went all the way down Thor's waist, she blinked at Thor, and she said:

"I said no, but my body is very honest."

"Well, you clever, excessive woman!"

Thor sighed, he hugged Jane by the waist, and amidst Jane's exclamation, he said:

"This is what happens when you provoke Thor."

Outside the garage, on a tree branch in the dark, Merlin stood there silently, and he said to Raven Mu Ning who was also silent beside him:

"I remember, Thor has a fiancée, right? It's Sif, right?"

"Sif is the princess chosen by his good brother Odin and his wife Frigga for Thor, but there is no such thing as a fiancée in Asgard."

"And according to our observations, Thor and Sif have played together since childhood, and he regards Sif more as a brother... We once saw that Sif waited for Thor in the garden all night , but Thor would rather drink late into the night with his brother."

Raven Munin made a quacking sound, it said:

"Thor may have never been in love with a woman... This Midgard woman undoubtedly attracted his interest, and that may be a good thing."

"But in my opinion, it's more of a hoax."

Merlin pushed his glasses, and he explained in a very professional tone:

"Thor made a decision. He didn't want to bow to Odin. He thought he was right. For this reason, he would rather give up the possibility of returning to Asgard."

"But this decision is heavy, it makes Thor unhappy for a while, and Jane works and lives with him every day, she is also a very good woman herself, the two of them completed the marriage under the influence of repressed desires. Not surprising."

"But is there really love between him and Jane? I doubt it..."

Merlin shook his head, he sighed, the scene in front of him reminded him of himself and Carol, he said:

"Unfortunately, I have met Sif. The general seems to have real feelings for Thor, which means that Thor can't control his lower body. He got himself into trouble, just tonight..."

"It's a pity that he has a debt of love."

"We don't understand what you said."

Mu Ning raised his head and said to Merlin:

"After all, we are just birds, and we don't need to fall in love. As long as we need it, the female ravens in the entire God's Domain are our lovers! Also, what are you waiting for before sending that thing to Thor?"

"Not urgent."

Merlin stood on the branch, looking at the reflection in the window, the two people writhing in sex, he took out his pocket watch to check the time, he said:

"Thor and Jane probably have to wait for a while. I'm more curious, why did Odin suddenly make this decision? Didn't he want Thor's experience to be intervened by external forces?"

"A good brother is not hopeful."

Mu Ning shook his head, it said:

"But good brothers don't want to see their son reduced to doing odd jobs and picking up garbage on this earth."

"Thor was active as a soldier in the first half of his life. He knew almost nothing except fighting, but now the earth is changing too fast. The good brother realized that he was somewhat reckless when he made a decision, so he A remedy was made...”

"We can't let Thor live by fighting wars on Earth."

"so what?"

Merlin had a sullen face, and he said to the raven:

"Do you want me to find him another decent job? Do you want me to find him another apartment? Help him pay for the room again? Come on, I'm not Thor's babysitter."

"It's not for nothing!"

Mu Ning screamed:

"My good brother paid you!"

"Why don't you just return the Grimoire of Rune Magic right now! Let's find someone else to do it. It's not just one person on Earth who has a connection with Asgard."

"No no no, I mean..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he looked at Mu Ning, and said:

"It's not like Odin made the remedy, and I don't think a real king would be so contradictory..."

"Tell me honestly, who ordered this?"

Under the gaze of Merlin, the raven Mu Ning seemed a little guilty. He turned his head away and covered his face with his wings. After a few seconds, Mu Ning said unwillingly:

"Well, you wise Midgard..."

"This is indeed not the request of the good brother Odin. The good brother is still fighting, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of it."

"It's Queen Frigga's request. She can't disobey Odin's decision, but she still wants her son to live comfortably in Midgard. Anyway, it won't affect Thor's trial."

"really."

Merlin nodded, and he asked seriously:

"Are you sure that I helped out, and I won't be liquidated by Odin in the future?"

"No! The queen will help you hide this secret."

Mu Ning stretched out his wings comically and made a swearing gesture. It said:

"We won't tell our good brothers about this. We are also afraid that the Queen of Heaven will get angry, and the woman will get angry, but it is very scary, especially for a powerful wizard like the Queen of Heaven. She can turn us into roast quail in minutes, and then be ferocious. That foody Stagg devoured it in one gulp."

"All right."

Merlin nodded. He no longer had any problems. After ten minutes, when Thor and Jane finally finished their work, Merlin straightened his clothes and fell into the front of the garage.

The windbreaker on his body changed quickly, and it became the uniform that EMS deliverymen often wear, and there was an extra hat on his head.

Merlin rubbed his face and changed his appearance. He reached out and knocked on the door in front of the garage. He said:

"Is Mr. Donald there? Mr. Donald Black? Are you there?"

"Here is your package, please check it, thank you."

Soon, Thor, who heard the voice, limped down the garage in a pair of shorts. He looked at the deliveryman standing at the door suspiciously, and said:

"There's no one named Donald here, you sent the wrong one."

"There's none?"

Merlin pretended to be puzzled and took something out of his pocket. He turned the thing over and said:

"But you look exactly like him..."

"Look, here are your lost passports, driver's licenses and ID cards, Mr. Donald, and your acceptance letter from Columbia University's Faculty of Medicine. You must take these important things with you."

"Also, congratulations, Mr. Donald, you will probably become a doctor in a few years. This is the highest paid and most respected profession nowadays."

Thor frowned and stepped forward, he took the package from Merlin.

He looked at the passport with his face printed on it, and the description on the passport. After a while, he looked at Merlin, who had changed his appearance, and said:

"Who sent these things?"

"Oh, this one."

Merlin took out a pen and asked Thor to sign the package. He said casually:

"It's a kind person named Frigga. She picked up these things you lost, and then entrusted us to deliver them."

"What a kind lady."
