He did not care much for his Starkphone, and he kept a respectable distance from his laptop. Humans had a strange aversion to touching their world. For such a plain and dusty realm, they put as much glass between it and them as possible, preferring instead to live in a virtual realm of imagination. It was one Thor had trouble walking. Movie nights were as tedious as the bookwork of his youth, exercises in reading the strange language of film, where the appearance of a building magically transported one inside it, and a man looking at an object was rarely indicated by having the man interact with the object, but instead supposed to be inferred from a series of symbolic head tilts.

‘We have to evacuate,’ Natasha snapped, pulling the papers and equipment surrounding her into her shaped bag. And Thor knew why as he saw that the pull of the machine was sending a long cord of dark energy through the air to wind around the shape of the world.

‘There we go,’ Bruce said, shrugging helplessly. ‘Thor. Can’t figure out Tivo; can rewrite the basic laws of physics.’

‘With a hammer,’ Natasha added. ‘And apparently in epic verse.’

Oh Anon, you're lovely. ♥

Those lines deserve an award!

Also, I love the ending:

Thor really wished he’d stuck with movie night.
