Moon Knight
Thor clicks on post and the photo is part of his account. In the last few months he has learned a lot about the Migardian culture and one of them, and probably the best part, is sharing delicious meals on the internet. Tony helped him set up his Instagram account and while he hasn't fully figured out how it works, he does know how to share pictures.
And that's the best part.
After eating the burger, he leaves the store and makes his way back to the Avengerstower. Although the sun has now set, the city is still brilliantly bright. He turns onto a side street to take a shortcut when he sees a white shadow jumping across the rooftops overhead. Driven by curiosity, he follows the shadow onto a roof. As he climbs the fire escape, he hears sounds generated by a fight and as he reaches the roof he sees what is going on.
The white shadow turns out to be a warrior of the moon god Khonshus.
The god himself stands annoyed in a corner while his warrior fights a beast. Loki would know what kind of beast that is, he thinks while catching Hawkeye's eye. The blond man is balancing on the edge of the roof, on the other side, and appears to be deep in a soliloquy.
"And it just annoys me that I have to talk about my feelings all the time," Hawkeye says, gesturing wildly with his hands as the warrior is nudged squarely against the edge of the roof. "I could kill her for you," the warrior says, and Hawkeye looks down at him with an amused grin. "That's the most romantic thing you've ever proposed to me," Hawkeye says, putting a hand on his chest.
The warrior is pulled to his feet by the beast before he can reply. "It's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard," says Khonshu. "You shouldn't kill for that pathetic git." "You've never been a romantic," Thor mutters, standing next to the other god. The other god looks up in surprise.
Bones break and the beast falls to the ground, grunting. "I've heard that you Æsir are taking an interest in Earth again," Khonshu scoffs. "You can see him?" asks the warrior, stepping over the dead beast. "One god can see another," Thor explains, watching with cautious curiosity as the warrior places himself between him and Hawkeye.
It's protective.
"God?" the warrior says disparagingly and despite the mask Thor can feel the evaluating look. "Aye," Thor grins, extending his hand in a Midgardian handshake. "Thor. Son of Odin and Prince of Asgard. I am pleased-". The punch comes suddenly and so quickly that he does not have time to react. "You can pass that on to your brother," the knight tells him, while Hawkeye lets out an indignant "Oh God Moony" in the background.
The punch wasn't hard enough to knock him down, but he had a fair amount of power behind it. Thor straightens up and sees Hawkeye stopping the next punch by pulling the warrior aside. "You're such a softie," Hawkeye grumbles, releasing his fist. The warrior does not relax and appears ready to strike again.
"And an idiot," adds Khonshu. "I would call it noble," Thor chimes in. Everyone turns to him. "Standing up for your lover is a noble gesture that shows true love," Thor continues.
"Lover," Clint says amusedly, and at the same moment the warrior says "Noble" in a confused tone. Khonshu makes a mocking noise. "Oh my noble lover-" Clint begins to utter enthusiastically. "That's really cute, I think I'll definitely keep that. I'll put you on my phone like this and-"
A white-gloved hand covers the mouth, silencing the archer. Though a mask veils the face, Thor can imagine the expression very well. "As if he wasn't annoying enough already. Thanks Thor”, Khonshu grumbles and looks at him angrily. However, the warrior only sighs while looking at Barton.
"I'm going now," says the warrior in a calm, slightly affectionate tone. The hand drops from the face and then he turns to Thor. "I'm keeping an eye on you," it's said with a threatening undertone, and Thor will definitely take the subtle threat seriously.
"See you later," the warrior says to Clint, then sprints off. "You have a very brave avatar there, Khonshu," says Thor, watching the white warrior until he is out of sight. "I have a fool who is accompanied by another fool," replies the moon god, and then disappears.
"He doesn't like you very much," Thor says, and Clint shrugs. “Khonshu is just an ass. But I now believe that half the gods are idiots. No offense,” Clint explains, but Thor nods in understanding. Gods can have a terrible attitude, especially towards humans.
"Sometimes he threatens to kill me, too," Clint continues in a conversational tone. "But I just think he's jealous and maybe a little scared that I'll soften his little avatar. Oh hey, are you hungry?” Confused by the sudden change of subject, Thor nods. "Great, I know a place that does pancakes with-" "I thought pancakes were meant for morning consumption," Thor interrupts and Clint pauses.
"You still have so much to learn my young padawan." Clint grins and starts to climb down the fire escape.

"Where did you get the pancakes from?" Tony asks as he unabashedly looks into the bag. The pancakes were so delicious that Thor decided to take some with him. "Hawkeye showed me a place that makes this delicacy with various side dishes," says Thor, pulling the bag away from the other man. "Hawkeye?" Tony asks in astonishment. "Aye," Thor confirms as Steve walks into the kitchen.
"Where did you find Hawkeye?" Tony asks confused. "On a roof. I saw a shadow and followed it just to hear a fight. I thought someone needed help, but it turns out his lover is in control.” “What?” Tony and Steve ask at the same time. "Hawkeye has a worthy and noble warrior by his side." There is a moment of silence as Thor watches everyone try to process the words.
"They got into a fight?" Steve asks and Thor shakes his head. "No, the warrior just defeated a Mystic Creature and we should keep an eye on that as well. Such beings should not walk in the human world." Thor ends in a serious thoughtful tone.
Tony and Steve look at each other in confusion.
