<div class="floatleft">(http://data.whicdn.com/images/12895752/Natalie-Portman_mid_large.jpg)   </div><strong>Name:</strong>Jane Foster<br/><strong>Title:</strong>(future) Stark Industries Consultant<br/><strong>Locale:</strong>Ontario, Canada<br/><strong>Time:</strong>5:29 pm, Eastern<br/><strong>Tags:</strong>Loki<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Jane Foster did not consider herself a romantic at heart. She was much too pragmatic to believe in the stuff of rom-coms and fairy tales. Which was partially why she'd been so shocked by how easily Thor had been able to sweep her off her feet - she hadn't even been expecting it. Totally blindsided.<br/><br/>Just as unexpected was "Thor's" next question. She'd braced herself for any other sort of reaction the demi-god might give: rage, hurt, anything. Except this mingle of desperation, frustration, and confusion that brought him before her, handsome face scant inches away from her own. The look in his eye made Jane's knees buckle a little, but she wouldn't let herself swoon. Definitely not the time.<br/><br/>She jumped, startled, as his too-strong hands left dents in the flimsy walls of the trailer, and with a swallow, Jane squirmed out from the cage of "Thor's" arms, wriggling her way around him and down the steps to the clearing.<br/><br/>"Let's just go over here before you break the - " Her voice trailed over her shoulder, and then Jane turned in place. "Never mind. Look, Thor, I really don't know what to tell you. I'd like to keep this...whatever kind of relationship we have going, but..." Jane's face fell a little as did her voice, as if she were admitting defeat. "If you don't know why you care for me, then....I certainly can't tell you."<br/><br/>She suddenly felt small and cold. This was why she didn't really do relationships. Work got in the way as it was, and now that her boyfriend was some kind of alien god, it was just...too much, really. Too much to deal with.<br/><br/>"I'm really glad you're back. Really,<em>really</em>glad. But maybe we should...see each other again in a bit? Just give this some breathing space?"<br/><br/><em>God, it really did sound like she was giving up.</em>
