can you do some Quinn/Thor bonding. i just saw Ragnarok and i really want some Quinn and Thor now please

As Quinn starts to come to, she is in some severe pain, so she knows she fucked up bad. That leads her to try and remember what happened to put her in this situation, but can’t. Since her memories are a blurred mess and she has a serious case of cotton mouth, it leads her to believe that whatever stupid stunt she pulled landed her smack dab in the hospital. Fantastic. Each beep of the heart monitor makes her head throb. She tries to instead move her focus to the low murmur of the television. Oh, that must mean someone’s in the room with her. God, she hopes it isn’t Steve. If it is him then she can pretend to be asleep until a nurse comes in. He won’t yell at Quinn if there’s someone else in the room and then the nurse can put her back on those hardcore narcotics so she can put off the lecture even more. Wait. Hold on. She remembers…did Bucky come visit her? She swears she woke up, stoned off her ass, and he was there in the corner. She waxed poetic to him and he smiled. No, that must’ve been a dream. When he talked, it was all Brooklyn and…he doesn’t talk to her and Steve. Yeah, it had to have been a dream.

Well, she can’t pussyfoot around it anymore. She needs to survey the wreck that…someone made of her body. Hydra. It’s always a safe bet to assume all her trouble started with Hydra somehow. She aches all over, so she can’t pinpoint where the real problem is. Reluctantly, she forces her eyes to open. Immediately, she clocks a cast, so there’s broken bones. There’s—you know what? Fuck it. She’ll look at her medical chart later. Or Steve will list every problem she has, very loudly, at a later time. She looks to the chair next to her bed for him, prepared to break out her tears to make him less mad, but to her complete and utter shock it’s Thor with her. His attention is on the shitty reality shows that only come on early in the afternoon, so she squints at him.

Finally, her brain starts to work and she remembers what exactly happened before she blacked out. It was a standard mission—fuck up Hydra’s shit. At the start, it seemed normal, so of course it slowly but surely had to turn sideways on them. They can never catch a break too long before the world has to set itself in order and make shit difficult. They didn’t expect this particular base to have such sophisticated weapons. Over the radio, the team speculated that Hydra’s started to use Loki’s scepter to up their game. She wishes she could snap Loki’s neck, but Thor’s still sensitive about Loki’s death.

Anyway, there were tanks. A lot of tanks that she’s pretty sure had Chitauri weapons fitted to them. They’ve been at this so much that these missions have become pretty routine and the team has really started to bond. They have fun which is probably fucked up in and of itself, but none of them have ever been the most normal people to start with. Thor blew up a tank, Tony blew up a small bunker, and they quipped back and forth over the radio over who had a better record so far. One of the other tanks moved to aim at Thor to retaliate because he was a little easier to hit than Tony in the air. Quinn moved to knock Thor out of the way of the blast, overestimated how fast she could move out of the way, and it blew up in her face. Literally.

“You asshole,” she murmurs to catch his attention but her voice cracks. It startles him so bad he squawks in surprise. Then, he pivots his body around to stare at her with wide eyes. “This,” she squirms around and hopes he understands she means her broken body, “is why I tell everyone not to showboat until after we’ve completely cleared out the bases.”

“Lady Quinn, you’re awake!” He moves to his feet so fast he knocks the chair backward. A nurse that passes by the open doorway pokes her head in the room to see what the noise was about. “I’m sorry,” he whispers and the nurse shoots him one last dirty look before she moves on. He quickly picks up the chair, turns it to face the bed, and sits back down. “Sorry,” he repeats bashfully.

Quinn’s not sure if he’s sorry because of the noise or because he blames himself for what happened to her. “Don’t worry about it,” she replies. “Where are we? No, wait. Tell me where everyone else is. Is everyone okay? Has anyone called Steve and Sam? Please tell me you didn’t because he’ll have a fit.”

“We’re still in Europe. We were scared it would take more time than we could afford to take you back to Stark’s tower. We didn’t know the true extent of your injuries.” He smiles a little. “And I’m sorry, my friend, but I think Steve deserved to know his wife was hurt in combat.” The smile quickly thins. “I told him what happened and that the blame should be put on me. You don’t need to worry over any misplaced ire.”

“Aw, Thor, we’re teammates. We watch each other’s backs. Shit like this happens. You don’t have to beat yourself up so much over this. Besides, I’ve had worse.”

“Whether you’ve had worse or not doesn’t matter. You don’t deserve to be hurt, especially due to my carelessness. I was—what did you call it? I showboated.” He slumps in his chair and scrubs a hand across his face. “Sometimes, I still feel like that same spoiled, foolish brat of a prince that I was before we first met one another.”

“You’re definitely still as much of a drama queen as before, that’s for damn sure,” she teases. As payback for her remark, he shoves his dirty boots up on the hospital bed. “Hey, it ain’t me you’ll piss off. You’ll only make the nurses mad,” she explains and shoves his feet off the bed with a laugh. “And you’re still humble as ever, too. Seriously, don’t be so upset about this. You have fun and you help the rest of us have fun, too. Without the team to be there with us, Steve and me…we’d mope and pine over Bucky the whole time we tried to take Hydra down. Y’all help keep our heads out of our asses. Like I said, shit like this is expected to happen now and then. We’re not perfect. I’m not dead. Don’t worry so much.”

Thor scrutinizes her for at least a minute or two. When she’s about to ask him what’s the matter, his expression suddenly softens and he fondly remarks, “I truly wish that you were Asgardian born only so I could meet you sooner. You’d be welcome in my home. Actually, I think that you would’ve made a fine Valkyrie.”

“Valkyrie?” She’s heard about that before, she swears she has. Wait. Valkyries are part of Norse mythology, that’s where she knows it from. “Aren’t those the ladies that swoop down on horses with wings and take warriors killed in combat to Valhalla? They’re actually real?” Then, she smacks her forehead because, “Of course they’re real. Why wouldn’t they be? Next you’ll tell me that there really is a wolf named Fenrir, too.”

“I haven’t come across any giant wolves who have tried to eat my father and the sun, no,” he answers with a chuckle. “And I was told that the Valkyrie did not take fallen warriors to Valhalla. They were more of a…elite team. My father chose the fiercest warriors to protect the royal family and to battle beside him in combat for Asgard. They were all killed in battle, however. It was before my birth. Those days were…violent, I’m told. The nine realms were in total chaos. Anyway, you would be truly welcome among them, I believe.”

Just because she likes to poke fun, she slyly points out, “So, you want me to be part of a team that all died?”

“I take back what I said. I hate you,” he mutters under his breath and she cackles. That same nurse pokes her head in the room and glowers at Quinn who quickly snaps her mouth shut. As a doctor, she’s learned to respect the fuck out of nurses. They keep the hospitals running, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Well, nurses and the cleaning staff. “It was the sentiment, Quinn. The sentiment,” he stresses quietly, as wary of the nurse as she is.

“Thanks, I think?”

“I wanted to be one of them, you know.” She raises a brow and he nods enthusiastically. “Yes, I made my mother tell me stories of them all the time when I was a boy. I told her what I wanted and she told me only women were Valkyrie, so I told her that I would become a woman then. Mother accepted that but then she told me that the Valkyries protected the throne and since I was part of the throne it wouldn’t make very much sense.”

“Yeah, you’re not so good at protecting yourself.” Come on, she couldn’t help but take that shot. He left it wide open for her. “Maybe I would be a good Valkyrie, huh?”

“You’re not as funny as you think you are.”

“No, see, I’m hilarious actually.” What he said finally processes in her brain and she has to resist the urge to squeal. “That’s the cutest fucking thing, you know that? You running around as a kid, probably pretending to be a Valkyrie. That’s adorable, it really is.” She sighs wistfully. “Hell, I was a simple kid. All I wanted was to work in the coal mines with my pa. I loved my old man. Then, when I was older, I didn’t really know what I wanted until the war. I met Steve and Bucky and…I wanted to be a wife—no, I wanted to be a soulmate. Even now, you can’t marry another person legally. So, I wanted to be a good soulmate, settle down, and have some kids with Steve and Bucky.”

“Now?”

“Now…” She hasn’t actually thought that far ahead. She’s not sure Steve has, either. They’ve fought for so long…she doesn’t even know what she’d do if they found some goddamn peace. But she does want that. “Now, I want some peace and quiet with them. I think that’s what I’ve always wanted, in the end. Just…time to spend with them. No fighting. No wars. No doomsday shit. I want to love on them without someone walking in on us,” and at that last remark, she side-eyes him.

Thor throws his arms up in the air in exasperation. “I told you that I’m sorry! I’m one for reveling in victory, but if you and Steve suddenly disappear after battle then someone is bound to search for you. And why exactly are you two making love in the places we’ve destroyed? That…that’s just not sanitary.”

“One word—adrenaline.”

“That doesn’t make sense!”

“If you haven’t fucked when you’re hopped on up adrenaline then you’re missing out, my friend.”

Thor rolls his eyes. “Humans.”

“I thought you Asgardians weren’t as much of prudes as us humans are.”

“I doubt prude would be an accurate word to use for you and Steve,” he shoots back. Point to him. “Again I say, you would be a welcome addition to Asgard.”
