Super Chemistry.
Young man: Table for two please.
Restaurant hostess: Right this way.
Young man & woman: Thank you!
Restaurant hostess: I shall inform the waiter to head over here to your table right away.
Young man: (Nods his head) Thank you.
Ororo: (to herself) He seems like such a gentleman. (Smiles)
Loki: (Clears throat) So, what do you think of the restaurant I picked?
Ororo: Well, (looks at the menu)- they have a wonderful menu. I can’t wait to try it all. I mean (Laughs) only some of it.
Loki: (Chuckles) Go ahead and order as much as you like. I’ll pay for it all. (Smiles)
Ororo: (Stares in amazement) Really? Alright.
As the young couple have a good time- they soon hear a click of a pen. Their waiter smiles at them & pulls out her notepad from her front shirt pocket.
Waiter: Good evening. What would you two like to drink?
Loki informs Ororo to order first. She orders a lemonade drink. Loki orders a Mead.
The waiter asks them if they are ready to order their meal. Loki doesn’t pick quite yet or even know if he really wants to have any simple food. But Ororo glances at him and tells him that he should try at least eating something from the menu.
Loki: I’ll have - um, the (stares at the menu) ...goat meat and er~ hmm— fresh bread.
Ororo: (Chuckles) And I will have the fried rice, baked potatoes, mixed vegetables, pork,.....
Loki looks at the menu as Ororo orders. How can one being eat so much food in one seating? She has the appetite of the Norse gods!
Ororo: Last- but not least, I’d also like some of the fresh bread. That is all—- for now. Thank you.
The waiter nods her head and grabs the menus from the table. Loki yawns as the waiter walks away from the dining area and disappears into the kitchen.
Ororo: Tell me about yourself- Loki.
Loki: Ah, where shall I begin. (Stares into space) It all started when I was only a child. A little baby hidden away from my own kind.
Ororo stares and Loki listening attentively. Then she also wonders what Loki could be staring at.
Loki tells Ororo of his childhood. His hatred for his brother. Whom he doesn’t like being next to at all. The only person he tries to get along with is his father. No matter how many times he tries to prove himself to his father, his brother always ends up being seen as the Hero. Loki frowns. Ororo places takes a hold of his hands and smiles at him. This calms Loki down.
Waiter: Excuse me. Your drinks. And your food will soon be ready.
Loki: (takes a sip of his mead).
Ororo: Thank you. (Places a straw in her glass of lemonade).
Loki: (Sighs) Anyway...enough about me. I would love to know more about you.
Ororo: I am from Kenya. It’s a country in Africa. I come from an Ancient line of African Priestesses.
Loki: Wow. That’s amazing. We both have powerful people in our family.
Ororo: I guess we do.
In a short while, the waiter comes back with a giant tray of food. Loki rubs his hands together and his mouth transforms into a beak. He tweets as the food is placed before him.
Ororo and the waiter both stare in shock & wonder at Loki’s beak. Loki smiles and his beak changes back to his usual human mouth form.
The two enjoy their meal. They even raise their drinks for a toast to a beautiful night.
At the end of the night, the two beings walk together out of the grand restaurant.
Ororo stops in her tracks and looks at the night sky.
Loki: Anything wrong?
Ororo: Oh. It’s nothing.
Loki notices that her eyes are now a different colour. They change from dark chestnut to a milky bright clear eye colour.
Then out of nowhere grey clouds appear in the late sky. Luckily, Loki carried an umbrella in case it would rain. He pulls an umbrella from his grey vintage leather bag. And places it above Ororo’s head.
Loki: I don’t want you to get soaked.
Ororo: Have some fun Loki.
Loki watches Ororo spin around in the rain. She nearly falls. In a quick flash Loki catches her and feels like the world has stopped spinning.
Ororo smiles and places her hands on Loki’s face. She reaches for him and closes her eyes. Loki does the same and feels like sparks were going in the air.
[The next day/morning.]
Ororo: (Sighs) Good morning O great King of Asgard.
Loki: (Laughs) Good morning High Priestess.
Ororo: I don’t usually let strangers in my apartment.
Loki: (Smiles) I’m the only exception.
Later during the day- Loki said goodbye to his Priestess. But he told her that he’d be with her soon. First he had to spend some time with his Father and the Norse gods. Right after that he would be with Ororo again. She would be the one to pick a different place for the next date.
