[dryly:] I don't think he's gonna turn him into evil Captain America, Steve. The most I've gotten from Loki is that he doesn't have a whole lot of patience for idiots, which I can't really blame him for. Not that I've gotten up close and personal with him, but he seems...all right. [Not the kind of guy who would suddenly decide to take over Earth with an alien army, and it's a little unsettling.]

Thor wants to find somewhere where all their people can live on Earth.

[neversurrender]

I'll take your word for it. [He hasn't seen nearly enough of Loki or the other Steve to really make his own judgement call, but he trusts Sam and his instincts.]

Live on Earth? Why would they abandon Asgard?

[wingedman]

[Sam just gets this 'oh shit' look on his face for a moment. He'd just assumed Steve would have heard the news from Thor already, but...apparently not. Awkwaaaaaard.]

There was some fight with Thor and Loki's sister Hela, and, uh, Asgard was destroyed in the process. Apparently they saved some of the people, but the plane itself was lost.

[How, Sam has no idea. But it doesn't seem that far-fetched when you're talking about gods battling.]

[neversurrender]

[He hasn't seen Thor around at all.]

Let me get this straight. Their battle destroyed the entire city?

[He's never been to Asgard so he doesn't really know specifics of the city, but it's still very, very troubling news.]

[wingedman]

The entire...whatever. Planet. Plane. I'm not sure what the term would be, but he said that everyone who's left is in a spaceship right now.

[Sam's not too clear on the specifics, either.]

But on the bright side, Banner's with them back home.

[neversurrender]

On a spaceship heading for Earth.

[He can only imagine how that's going to go. Thor has stalked up a lot of good will with Earth, being a member of the Avengers. But to permanently re-locate with the rest of his people? For them to remain self-governing alone will be a battle.]

Banner? Does Natasha know? [It is good to hear that he's alive. And not Hulk-ified.]

[wingedman]

Yeah. With how things are right now, I don't know what kind of welcome they'll get there. [Sam grimaces a little. Technically, all of the Asgardians would be superpowered by Earth standards. It makes the Accords look a hell of a lot messier.]

Well, he said it on the network, so I'm assuming she knows. Can't imagine Nat wouldn't keep an eye on things.

[neversurrender]

About the sort of welcome we would receive if we returned to the States. [His tone is grim. They couldn't have picked a worse time to try and inhabit Earth.]

You're right. That wouldn't be like her. How is she doing, by the way?
