Displaced

Toni was pretty sure she wasn't expecting any guests. It was a Sunday, for one thing, Pepper's coveted me-time day of the week when she tried to avoid scheduling anything for Toni so she wouldn't have work to do by proxy. It was also about 10:30 at night which was not a normal business hour by any stretch of the imagination.

Yet, there was a man on her balcony.

Toni had spotted him when she went to pour herself a scotch. One moment she SWORE everything had been normal, the next she looked up and a tall person with slicked back dark hair was outside her windows, peering around at the tower and the balcony like he was confused.

Being equally confused Toni headed over to the doorway, stepping out onto the balcony with her scotch and a furrowed brow. What the hell? Had he been skydiving? Had he climbed the building?

"Excuse me!" She leaned over to catch the man's eye as he turned toward her. "Hey there! Hi. Couldn't help but notice that you're standing on my balcony, which is attached to my tower which is also kind of my house. Little bit of trespassing there. Did security clear you?"

She starts when the bottle shatters in his grip, just staring for a moment at her good beer draining into the carpet.

"Uh... maybe an anger management class might do you some good before you go taking over cities." she suggested wryly, rising from her seat to grab a towel. "Who's in charge now that's so awful they make you glass-crushing mad?"

"Why the all father of course Odin" He sighs. "My brother follows him blindly"
He needs to watch his words closely now.

"But it matters not. I apologise for such a waste. I would mend it if I was able"

He rose from his seat leaning down, stroking the carpet, the smell of the ale potent in the air.
