Chapter 193 - C186I forgot about Daisy being Darcy, so I edited that out
...
Darcy and the old man still looked bewildered.
Jane smiled awkwardly. She felt helpless, unsure if the handsome stranger truly had a mental issue or if he was responsible for the strange events unfolding. Regardless, Jane wasn't the type to shirk responsibility. If someone caused trouble, she believed it was her duty to address it.
Thor, however, paid no attention to the trio's disbelief. In his mind, mortals were always ignorant—it was simply their nature.
The meal was served quickly, a selection of simple yet flavorful dishes typical of Mexico. While not particularly fancy, the food had a unique charm. After finishing, Thor downed a large glass of beer in one gulp. The taste left him deeply satisfied. Lost in thought about his life in Asgard, he grabbed the empty glass and smashed it on the ground.
Bang!
"Another!" Thor declared loudly.
The shattering glass and his booming voice immediately drew the attention of the clerk and other restaurant patrons.
"What is wrong with you?" Jane hissed incredulously, lowering her voice to avoid a scene. She offered a forced smile to the onlookers before turning back to Thor.
Thor looked at her, puzzled. "I am expressing my satisfaction. It is a gesture of appreciation."
"Well, we don't do that here!" Jane snapped. "If you break something, you have to pay for it!"
"My sincerest apologies," Thor said, his tone slightly sheepish.
The clerk, visibly annoyed but not wanting to escalate the situation, replied, "Forget it. Just don't let it happen again."
Jane, exasperated, took the opportunity to explain modern Earth customs to Thor. She wasn't sure if he was truly delusional or simply confused, but to her surprise, her words seemed to get through. While he still referred to himself as the "son of Odin," he appeared to grasp the idea of acting more appropriately.
This small victory gave Jane a surprising sense of relief.
After the meal, Jane hurriedly paid the bill and covered the cost of the damage. She then ushered Thor out of the restaurant and into the RV, driving back to her studio and residence.
The house, which she shared with the doctor, was spacious yet modestly priced. As an astronomer, Jane's salary was relatively comfortable, but the lifestyle of scientists often came with its quirks. Papers, books, and re
"Because of differing philosophies."
The sudden intrusion startled them all. The four of them immediately stood, their eyes darting toward the source of the voice. There, on the lawn not far from their table, stood a man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Under the faint glow of the lights, his features came into view: he was tall, impeccably dressed in a deep purple suit, with a strikingly handsome yet unnervingly pale face. His eyes shimmered with an almost hypnotic allure, as if they held some kind of unspoken power.
Dr. Selvig stepped forward, his expression hardening. Despite his usual mild demeanor, he was ready to defend their space.
"Listen, kid," Selvig said sharply, "if I were you, I'd get off my lawn right now."
He wasn't bluffing—trespassing laws in the area heavily favored property owners. If push came to shove, Selvig could deal with the intruder and still be well within his rights.
The man, however, showed no signs of intimidation. With a slow, deliberate stride, he walked closer to the group, completely unfazed by the tension in the air. His movements were calm, almost too confident, as if he had nothing to fear.
