Chapter 87 Small Gift
"Ah——"
In the dessert shop, Gwen, wearing the shop's uniform apron, lay weakly on the counter, complaining: "Why do I have to come to the shop to help on the weekend?"
"You deserve it." Su Heng lay on the recliner, leisurely saying sarcastic words: "Who told you to go home these few days without leaving a good performance for Ms. Helen."
"This is the first time I see Ms. Helen lose her temper so much."
"Hmm" Listening to Su Heng's words, Gwen touched her ears with some lingering fear, and recalled the scene yesterday.
Originally, Ms. Helen thought that Gwen had been in the project research group for so long, and she should have been able to take care of herself in life.
So since the end of the New York War, she has been taking care of Sheriff Stacy in the nursing home.
It was not until yesterday afternoon when Ms. Helen went home to get a change of clothes that she realized how wrong she was to let Gwen stay at home alone.
The living room was full of garbage bags from takeout and fast food, the used pots and pans in the kitchen were covered with thick grease and dust, and the floor and bed in the room were littered with used clothes.
Especially at five o'clock in the afternoon, Gwen was still sleeping soundly on the messy bed.
Ms. Helen was so angry that she grabbed Gwen's ears and gave her a good lesson, and then called Su Heng to ask Gwen to help in the dessert shop and change her increasingly lazy temperament.
Dinglingling——
Just as Gwen was still terrified and recalled Ms. Helen's anger, the welcoming bell at the door rang.
Thor walked in from outside with Loki, whose hands were covered by clothes.
"Is this your dessert shop?" Thor looked at the dazzling array of desserts in the store and praised Su Heng: "It tastes good."
"Hey, isn't this a busy man?" Su Heng stood up from the recliner and looked at Thor, who met again after the New York battle: "I heard that you helped SHIELD dig out a lot of good things during this period."
"Don't mention it." Thor looked at Loki behind him who was about to reach out to take a piece of dessert from the cupboard with a gloomy face, and shouted at him: "Loki, this is something sold by others!"
"You just pay for it." Loki picked up a piece of strawberry cake and put it into his mouth without caring.
"In order to clean up your mess, I almost traveled around the entire earth during this period!" Thor said to Loki angrily, "Can't you save me some trouble?"
"You should be thankful. If I wasn't, I would have left with the Hydra guys when the rebellion broke out at SHIELD that day." Loki took a bite of the cake and said to Thor carelessly while chewing.
On the day when the New York War ended, in order to bring Loki and the Cosmic Cube back to Asgard, Thor agreed to help SHIELD find various treasures left on the earth by the Asgardian gods around the world during the negotiation with Pierce.
At that time, Pierce originally wanted to wait for Thor to bring those treasures back to SHIELD, and then transport them to the Hydra base without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that Su Heng would expose their Hydra so quickly.
This also made the final ownership of these treasures still in the hands of SHIELD.
"So you brought Loki here to prepare to leave?" Su Heng sat at the counter, propped up his chin with his arm, and asked Thor.
"Yeah." Thor nodded: "I have wasted so many days on Earth, it's time to leave."
"Aren't you going to wait for Professor Jane?" Gwen suddenly asked Thor: "You know, when you were in New Mexico, you promised Professor Jane to go back to see her. Do you know how long Professor Jane waited for you?"
"And when I called her yesterday, she said she was on her way back to New York."
"Sorry." Thor sighed and said regretfully: "If it's okay, I would also like to stay on Earth for a while, but because of the rebellion launched by Loki in Asgard before, the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed."
"I have been on Earth for too long these days. Now the dark forces in the Nine Realms are launching a rebellion. I must take Loki back to Asgard as soon as possible, and then quell the war and restore the stability of the Nine Realms, so I can't delay for a moment."
"The reason why I came to see you is not just because of farewell." Thor took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Gwen: "It is also because you and Jane are familiar with each other, so I want to ask you to give this thing to Jane."
"What is this?" Gwen took the small box: "Can I open it and take a look?"
"Yes."
With Thor's nod, Gwen opened the small box in his hand.
A dazzling light emanated from the box.
"This is a small gift I found while helping S.H.I.E.L.D. find those treasures. It's a burnt-out comet nucleus."
"I hope this insignificant little gift can make Jane see my apology."
"Okay." Gwen closed the box, looked at Thor's apologetic expression, and nodded solemnly: "I will definitely hand this gift to Professor Jane!"
"Tsk." Loki, who was licking his hands after eating the cake, looked at the scene in front of him and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
What little gift? This comet nucleus is obviously an item from his father Odin's treasure house. I'm afraid Thor had prepared the gift long before he went down to the mortal world, but he just didn't have time to send it out.
"Since the gift has been delivered, we'll take our leave." Thor nodded to Su Heng and Gwen, and looked at Loki who was still picking and choosing various desserts behind him, and couldn't help frowning.
"Loki!"
"What's the hurry?" Loki put the desserts piled on the dessert tray on the counter, and took out a stack of US dollars: "Please help me pack it, so I can bring some back to my mother."
Thor opened his mouth, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He had been on Earth for a while, but he didn't think of bringing something back to his father and mother.
"Okay, please wait." Su Heng nodded with a smile, turned to Gwen and ordered: "Gwen, help this customer pack."
Recently, it was the off-season for the dessert shop. In order to avoid waste, Su Heng did not make many cakes every day, and Loki's big purchase today saved Su Heng from the worry of wasting a lot of desserts tonight.
It must be said that although Loki was Su Heng's enemy before, based on his performance today, Su Heng decided to give Loki half a life next time he ran into him.
"Hmm?" Loki, who was watching Gwen packing desserts, suddenly shuddered, looked around vigilantly, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief after not finding any danger.
