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.

"No, flat as in not round," he says, demonstrating its flatness with a horizontal swish of his hand. "Like our planet was just a flate plane, and water just sort of fell off the edge and disappeared into space."

"All around the edge of it," he says. "It was a disk, so whenever you got to the edge, there was a chance you could fall off and into the nothing that existed below."

And that reminds Thor of another story.

"When we were young, all of used to see who'd go closest to the edge and stay there the longest. I always held out the longest. I was scared, but it had been important to me that I'd win."
st_ormbreaker: (Because that's what heroes do.)

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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?"
