Roommates

New Asgard

Having landed safely in Oslo, Norway Jamie was mentally and physically wiped after her emotional talk with Bucky before she left and a full day of flying. She sent off texts in several of her group text threads to let everyone know she was still alive, but other than that she ignored her phone. Bucky was the first to send her a private message wishing her a fun time and safe travels. Seeing his name pop up had a smile crossing her lips for the first time in a while. After many tacos and a lot of catching up while she finished packing, her and Buck had promised to talk while she was gone. They'd promised to not let this time apart affect their friendship as much as the last three weeks had. The only thing was; what did they talk about when what went unsaid still hung over their heads? While she was glad the air had been cleared between them, it had only become that much more muddled in the end. He had feelings for her and since she was being honest with herself, Jamie definitely had feelings for Bucky. But they both refused to do anything that would hurt Steve. He just meant way too much to the both of them.

Groggily grabbing her luggage from baggage claim and loading the bags on a trolley, Jamie forced a smile on her face as she made her way over to Thor and Val who were eagerly waiting for her. First hugging the new King of the Asgardians and then the god of Thunder she tiredly greeted them both. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you guys." 

Seeing how exhausted she was they each took the larger of her suitcases from the trolley. They knew better than to touch the two medium hard case suitcases that housed her cameras and accompanying gear that she insisted on carrying herself. As they ushered her out to their flying boat Thor and Val broke off for few to pose for pictures with fans and tourists who'd spotted the famous warriors loading up her luggage. Waiting patiently for them to finish up Jamie laughed to herself as she stood next to the floating vessel casually parked alongside the other waiting cars and taxis. It was a strange sight to see indeed. Although one that had become common here in the last few years. Still, she couldn't get over their preferred mode of transportation. For as advanced as they were as a race they still hadn't adjusted all that well to Earth's ways. Boats and horses they did just fine with. Cars, not so much.

Valkyrie smiled over at Jamie as she watched the Midgardian cautiously and carefully settle down on one of the benches next to Thor who tenderly covered her lap with a thick blanket. She watched as he fussed over the small woman like a child making sure she was warm and comfortable enough. While it was April it was much colder here than it was in New York. Not to mention their boat wasn't exactly traveler friendly in the colder, wetter months. Val could see how weary the younger woman was. The dark circles under her eyes and the slight slump to her shoulders as well as the forced smile she gave them. She also noticed the sadness that lingered around the young women almost like an invisible shroud. They weren't as in close contact as she and Thor were, but Val had come to care for Jamie as much as the other Midgardians she'd come to know. Val didn't know what had finally gotten Jamie to come visit after months of badgering, but she'd take it if it meant catching up with her new friend.

The spunky Midgardian could handle Thor and the others just fine. In fact, she'd helped several of them along with Steve Rogers, in coping with the loss of their people after the Snap. So it went without needing to be said that Jamie Dorsey was loved by New Asgard and it's remaining people and they would all be pleased to see her return after so long. Firmly grasping onto the side of the boat as they got going Jamie looked up at Valkyrie when she spoke. "We're so happy that you finally decided to come visit us. I'm excited to show you how much things have changed since you were last here."

A niggling twinge of guilt fluttered in the pit of Jamie's stomach that she'd let her friends down since everyone came back. But she was hoping to fix that wrong while she was here. "Me too. I'm really sorry it's taken me so long to come back. I've really missed being here and all of you." She wistfully gazed out at the beautiful green countryside as they left the city behind.
