I need to put this here, I'm actually biracial and bisexual, so anything that you read here that discriminates or makes fun of people because of race, color, religion, or sexuality, is strictly put as a joke or because it adds to the plot.

     "How was your little date?" Loki asked. "It wasn't a date, I was just getting to know him." Valkyrie answered. "Sounds an awful lot like a date to me." "Shut up. I gotta go see Wanda."

       "How come your abilities are different than your brother's?" "Magic can be different for different people." "Loki gave you that information?" "Yeah. How come you guys don't like each other, anyway?" They paused on the sidewalk and turned to face each other. "Stuff happened on Sakaar." Wanda nodded and they started walking again. "So, you can control people's emotions and stuff?" "I can't control their fear, I can only control my own," Wanda said, looking down. It was obvious she was scared of her abilities. Val quickly changed the subject and they kept walking.

       "Hope you had a pleasant walk." "You can stop lying, Lackey." "It's Loki!!!" Truth was, he wasn't lying.

       Val walked into the gym to see Steve at the punching bag. "You wanna spar?" Steve looked up at her and nodded. They got in their stances and started. "So, you from the 1940s?" she asked as he took his legs out from under him. "Yep. Frozen for 70 years and than woke up-" "To see black people sitting at the front of the bus?" Steve just stared at her for a second. "I know stuff." Steve chuckled and continued. In all honesty, she was kicking his ass. They talked a little more before Val got him on the floor. He got up slowly, "I can do this all day." She looked at the clock. "I can't. I gotta get to the party floor." "We have a floor just for parties?" Val shrugged. "I guess. See you around."

       Val walked past Loki on the way to the elevator and took his sandwich. "Hey!" She just kept walking.

       There was classy music playing and Bucky standing in the middle of the floor. "Would you like to dance?" Bucky asked her. He wasn't wearing anything formal, just an everyday outfit, so as much as that seemed out of place, the fact that they were the only two there made it more comfortable. "Sure."

       They eventually took a break to get something to drink. Thank Odin he brought alcohol up here, she thought to herself. "So you and Steve have been friends since before the ice and Hydra?" "Yep. I'm with him to the end of the line." "Sure it isn't something more?"she asked with a smirk. "Not in the least."  She looked at the clock. "I gotta go, bye." "Talk to you later."

When Valkyrie walked by where Loki was before, he wasn't there. She wasn't expecting to be upset about it.
