Earning and burning calories - Open

Jane had a lot of restless energy lately. Most of that was due to the attack at the inn as well as all the thoughts about Asgard, Sif, Thor and the Warriors three. The best way that she had of getting rid of that pent up energy was kickboxing. It allowed her to hit something and to think which was a nice combination.

There were so many question especially after talking to Tony and the possibility that the American government working with Asgard or on their own could have taken and changed her memories from Sif. The possibility was real, but with the memories and dreams that she'd had since waking up at the inn, she could also be Jane/Remy/Alice from South Africa and New York. As she told Liz, Jane wasn't sure if she wanted to Sif or Jane, but the truth was, she wanted to know. But, she also didn't want to know. It was nice to think that she had an 'exotic' background of being from Asgard and friends with the god of Thunder. That was a nicer life than a daughter of murdered Apartheid protestors and raised to be a soldier by first the government of South Africa and then by Ellen Briggs or how she was known by the FBI - Shepherd.

At the thought of how she might have been raised, her fists and leg hit the bag with added force. It wasn't long before she needed to take a break and some water. Jane reached for a towel to wipe the sweat and to reach for a bottle of water. Maybe she'd go for a swim after this.


~*~*~*~*~ By the pool~*~*~*~

After a nice workout that helped with the energy, Jane had changed into her bikini and swam a few laps. The laps had been to cool off and clear her thoughts, both of which helped. Now, she felt like a slug so instead of toweling off and going back to her room, she relaxed against the back of the lounge chair and let the sun dry her. One of the benefits of having Molly for a friend was that as soon as she sat on the lounge chair, a bottle of cold beer was delivered to her from the pool bar. She didn't even have to ask for it. It was nice. Now, if someone could just send her over a slice of pizza to go with the beer, she'd be good.

"That depends on your definition of 'close'. I would say no. We were never friends. They loathed me and would have been rid of me in a second if Thor hadn't insisted on my presence." Loki would have, at least sometimes, been more than happy to have been left behind. Sometimes, though, being with a group of people who hated him had seemed better than being alone.

Back then, anyway; he'd learned since then that alone was always better for him. "But I did spend a great deal of time around them and knew them fairly well, I think."

"I would have won," Thor says, finger raised. He's insistent on this point. "Would have stood there until I did, or fell off the edge trying."

Which probably answers Jane's question.

"It was a matter of pride. I didn't ever like being beaten by anyone or anything."

Bucky noticed the art, but didn't blink at it other than thinking it was really unique. He smiled in spite of himself. He wasn't used to someone not caring about his arm. Usually, it was the other way around and people only stared. It was a nice change.

"Huh. Really. I was army." He motioned down to his arm. "And HYDRA, if you've ever heard of it. I... Thankfully, I got out." He isn't sure how else to phrase it. And he doesn't even know if Jane knows what HYDRA is. "We can try. I... I don't want to hurt you." He raised his arm to her. "This is stronger than it looks too."

"I know right? I mean I know vampires and other things that go bump in the night but aliens. That's just mind blowing." But in a good way. "Makes you wonder what else is out there that we don't know about."
st_ormbreaker: (I'm quite happy thank you.)

"Sif felt like she had a lot to prove when she was younger," he says. "She and I related to one another in that way. She felt she had much to prove to others as a woman and I felt I had a lot to prove to others as one of the crown-princes of Asgard. So, to answer your question..."

Thor's lips quirk up into a smile.

"...yes."

“There’s no need. Thor would be happy if you were, and I can generally hold my own as needed.” Loki smiled. The offer of apology was funny more than anything. “For what it’s worth, the Three were always worse than Lady Sif. If they stay gone, I’ll be happy enough.”

"Well a little ironic." Buffy admitted with a laugh, "but I get what you're saying and trust me, even if you had all your memories this place would still expand your mind of what's real and what's not."

Loki laughed. “Oh yes, kittens are very fierce combatants. Alas, I am comparatively not much of a fighter.”

"You didn't ever need to prove yourself, though," Thor says. "Anyone with any sense and two eyes in their head would have known your worth. Eventually you wised up to it as well as I did."

"Don't say I didn't warn ya."

Bucky moved further into the gym. He smiled as he moved over to the side and took off his baseball cap and set down the towel he'd brought with him. His head moved left and right, before he stretched out his arms and shoulders. Gently hopping back and forth on his feet, he warmed up and then came over to stand beside the punching bag.

Once she had a firm grab on it, Bucky threw a punch. Even with him pulling his punches, it was still a pretty hard blow. He made sure to punch with his human arm, not the metal one. He really didn't want to hurt her.

"Normal is overrated." Buffy assured her. "And, I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have a normal life in New York or Asgard. Which really who would have a normal life on a planet where the god of thunder was a prince?" She grinned.
st_ormbreaker: (Hella charming.)

"I thought so," Thor says. "Some might call me biased towards those people that I'm fond of, but I like to think I was an objective judge."

His lips quirk up into a smile. "You realize you're amazing all on your own now, right?"

"Yeah, I noticed that, too. At least most of the people I talked to. Even if they didn't have something in their lives, they were definitely go with the flow types."
