Maria had decided to warm up a little as she waited for Thor to come find her. She jabbed at a punching bag, already working a bit of a sweat in SHIELD-issue shorts and tank top. She gave the bag one last punch and turned at the sound of Thor calling her name.
"Over here, Thor," she waved, smiling over at him. She bent to retrieve her water bottle and went to meet him, taking a long drink. "How did it go with Fury?"
There was always something undeniably good about seeing a woman so fit and strong. Thor loved watching Sif fight; there was a primal sort of grace that he knew he and his fellows did not posses. Seeing Maria with a sheen of sweat was enough for him to return the offered smile as he made his way to her.
"Well enough," he said with a nod. "I am glad that he seems to expect me to return. Not many men I know would extend such assumption given such extreme circumstance." Of course Thor always kept his word, for better or worse... but Fury did not know him the way that some did. "Have you waited long?"
He laughed, giving a small shrug. "More to find a rhythm within ourselves, not to limit the risk of injury." His body was massively resistant to damage--even damage that he might inflict upon himself. The apples of Asgard were a tremendous boon. "So I am ready if you are."

She turned to put her water by her bag, stretching a little as she straightened. "Do you need to warm up? Do... Asgardians do that?"
