Jan. 5th, 2019 03:28 pmWhat most people didn't know about the Valkyries was that, despite their status as fierce warriors, many of them were, in fact, omegas. It was something they kept to themselves because it wasn't something anyone else needed to know, as they were fully capable of taking care of their own, and the stories of how new members joined their ranks weren't outright lies, but they were most definitely embellished.
But she'd been the only one left for a very long time.
While under the Grandmaster's employ she'd had ready access to suppressants -as well as any other drug she could possibly want- and no one questioned it, because scrappers didn't really want to go around making little scrapper babies after all.
But now? Things were different now. They'd made it out, they'd settled in what seemed to be some vast Midgardian snowfield, but it suited them, and they were doing well enough as a whole that she'd settled into a routine, enough so that it didn't occur to her she was no longer halting her cycles, and when she felt the familiar warmth building at the base of her spine and the hollow of her throat, felt that familiar looseness in her joints, she tracked him down, not quite cornering him, but something close, "Thor. I need your assistance with something." She had no doubt that he could tell just what it was, had probably smelled it on her even before she'd strode right into his personal space as if she owned it, "And if you decide that this changes anything between us, I can still end you."

Her close presence was inflaming his mind and body, and making it harder to think even so. His breathing was a little faster by the time he stopped talking. He made himself not step toward her, not grab her and claim her lips with his own, only by the sheerest flex of will power.
Instead, he spoke, and his voice was quiet, strained. "How do you want to do this?" Not matter what instincts said, and they were so loud right now, she was still a warrior and a Valkyrie, and he respected her and looked up to her in many ways.

Likewise she wasn't so far gone to it yet to be running solely on instinct, but she knew now that she had a safe place to do so, it wouldn't be long.
Which was why she arched a brow at him, "I think first of all you should come here so I can scent you properly."

"Asa you wish." He had liked that movie.

She hummed when she reached the pulse point at the base of his throat, pressing herself just a little closer, one hand light on his bicep, "Yes, you'll do." There was a tease in the tone, as if she might yet find him wanting on some aspect, and call the whole thing off.
