Chapter Text
Thor left the human area, trying to make sure he would go unnoticed. Going to speak with Hulk (or Bruce, depending on who was out ) would have to wait. It was hard to sneak out without no other deity realizing that the Norse gods had decided who their allegiance lied with.
Being around the hospital was a good enough excuse. Sure he could say that maybe he wanted to check out the gods there, or simply that he got lost..tho it didn’t make much good knowing some of the patients there
“Hey, thunder boy!” A familiar voice called at him, tho the asgardian King honestly would rather not talk with that god at the moment, specially after his fight
“Ah, lord Shiva….it’s good to see that you are healing “ it was a shame that he left Mjolnir away to avoid certain issues , mainly because Thor was not wanting to be near the hindu chief at the moment
It was sadly funny, really. Despite his youthful aspect and attitude, Shiva was considerably older than most Asgardians and other beings in the Norse pantheon. His grandfather Borr was younger by some centuries than the four armed dancer (well, now one armed dancer, tho the doctors were able to slowly begin a regeneration process )
“You are way taller than the last time we saw you” well of course, Thor and Loki had both been kids during the last meetings, and since they took place between his father’s lands, both of them were allowed to go.
There had to be a way to make the dancer go away, seeing him right at the moment wasn’t pleasant. Perhaps Loki was right, maybe he could avenge his daughter at the moment… “ time will do that, us asgardians are a bit different than other pantheons “ perhaps a bit too different
“Of course you are, you’re pretty friendly with humans, perhaps a bit too much for some “ the god commented. Could he be suspecting something ? The Hindu pantheon were not a good enemy to have, even in all those circumstances
“Aye, I’ve fought side to side with many mortals, and can attest to their bravery “he wouldn’t deny his friends, however
“Man, you are weird “ the god chuckled, it seemed that his humor wouldn’t go away “say, you aren’t going to pull one like that son of a bitch Buda ? Betraying us like that…” most gods luckily weren’t precisely aware that well, he had friends on earth
“I don’t think it’s needed “ well technically he and the whole Norse pantheon pulled that already, and while two or three Egyptian gods were aware, they certainly didn’t mouth them off
“Of course not, I have to say that humans can be impressive…” hell, up until he saw his first love again, he was sure that there wasn’t going to be a way out of his fight “the Valkyries are sure a great help, wonder who was the one that was with R-“
Thor felt a slight tickling in his right hand, akin to that of Mjolnir’s power “ her name was Prour, and she was my daughter” the purpled skinned god should chose his words carefully, of the thunderer wouldn’t care to make those his was ones.
Shiva’s five eyes opened, tho it didn’t seem he was angry. He opened his mouth, as if the deity wanted to say something, but simply wasn’t able to. After some seconds of stunning, he was finally able to speak “I’m so sorry…”
Thor wasn’t sure of what to say, the last thing had expected was for the god to feel. Part of him wanted to at least have and excuse to fight, and excuse to let it all out…
“THOOOR!” A loud trumpet was heard, and the thunderer saw his childhood friend cheerfully arrive
It was curious how things among gods worked, really. Ganesha, the little elephant god, was actually a few years older than Thor and his younger brother. While the two nordics grew up to adults, Shiva’s son remained a child, tho he still wanted to be seen as elder than them.
“Ganesha, it’s a pleasure to see you” Thor couldn’t precisely act as a kid anymore, but still appreciated the, in theory, younger deity.
“Why are you so tall now ? It’s not fair, I’m older !” Ganesha complained and pouted, not entirely assessing the situation
“The Norse are a bit different, son“ Shiva used his one arm to pick his son. Even if he was perhaps a bit to old for that now, but maybe there was a certain feeling of guilt there too.
“Are you going to fight, Thor ? I’ve heard that you’re very strong !”knowing that his dad wasn’t in precisely a good state, the little god didn’t complain
“Nay, I can’t do it for a cause that goes against what I believe “ he would be truthful to his little friend, even if it was only partially.
“Aw that’s a shame…”the little god tilted his head “ you look sad….Papa, maybe we should invite Thor home ! And Loki too, they’re nice. Maybe they won’t be sad anymore !”
It was hard to fool a good of wisdom, no matter what age they had. Both adult gods seemed fully aware of it. Hell, Thor was surprised that his brother hadn’t acted up on something already…
“Maybe some other time” Shiva could understand the thunder god. Had someone done the same to his little boy, he couldn’t imagine what he would have done “guess we will see you around, I…I’m sorry “ it just wasn’t easy to say much unfortunately
The thunderer watched the two gods leave. Thor had to say that he was thankful for the arrival of little elephant god. All he wished for was to have a moment to break down crying. Not just for his little girl, tho she was the main reason, but he had known all the Valkyries that perished alongside their brave warriors. Even for Hercules, who had been a dear friend of his as well… but showing that could get them in trouble.
He went to pick his hammer, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to have it so close due to his feelings…and he definitely had thought of that before, seeing that he wasn’t caring it on his side. Right, the Warriors three, who still stayed on the god’s side to appear less suspicious. Maybe it had just been his imagination…
“Hey Papa, since when has Lord Rudra been your boyfriend ?” The tiny voice of Ganesha could be heard
“Ah…let’s talk about that later, son “ of course his son knew about that.
