------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clean and ready for my date with Sif, I walked out of my room, looking fine if I do say so myself.

Finding Sif playing cards with Emily and Nat.

"Are you ready? Or in the middle of a game?" I asked with a chuckle, approaching Sif from behind.

"I am ready, your daughters are merciless warriors when it comes to playing cards," Sif chuckled.

"I made some gold," Nat grinned, showing a few pieces of gold she had won playing cards against Sif.

"Give that back," I frowned, no daughter of mine would gamble, besides I knew she had cheated, I had seen it do it many times before.

"Fine," Nat sighed.

"It's okay Alex, I lost fair and square," Sif said.

"Sif, Nat cheats when playing cards," I snorted, "The only fair and square about those games, is how good she is at moving the cards, heck, she has tricked me a few times during family nights,"

"I KNEW IT!" Emily roared, tossing the cards onto the floor, "You cheating meanie! Give me back my teddy bear!"

"I didn't cheat that time!" Nat shot back.

"You shouldn't cheat at all!" Emily and I said and the same time.

"Where's the fun in that? I mean, you guys play cards, but I play a whole other game, the cheating game, my record so far is three days without no one noticing I cheat," Nat grinned.

"I will get my teddy bear back!" Emily huffed.

"You can play me for it," Nat grinned, shuffling the cards like a fucking pro.

"I… I will come back later to read a book of parenting about how to tackle this… but for now, give me the gold you 'won' from Sif," I sighed.

"Sure thing dad," Nat nodded, handing me the gold.

"Well, see ya girls later!" I chuckled as I walked to the door with Sif, smiling at Nat's shenanigans.

"So, she cheated?" Sif asked.

"Yes, but not with a bad intention, we are simply her test subjects so to speak," I chuckled, "She enjoys testing her skills with us, to gauge how effective they are, last month she was spying on me to see how long it would take for me to notice, the month before that she was testing her surprise attacks on Bucky… every month she changes what she tests, and this time well, she was testing how good she is at cheating,"

"Well, she's very good," Sif chuckled, "I have played with a lot of cheaters, and have caught them all, but her? She's a master, and so young, what a talented little girl,"

I nodded, feeling proud, "That's my girl,"

"So, about Alice?" Oh right, I promised to tell her.

"Well," I sighed, "She's me, but… a female version, I guess, it's complicated,"

"She's you?" Sif frowned.

"The universe is a curious thing, and well, she's the result of that," I chuckled, "She comes from a dimension where… well, where I was supposed to be a woman, I suppose,"

"So… an alternative version of you?" Sif muttered, tilting her head.

"Yes, so to speak, but beyond our last names, we are very different," She was crazy for one.

"Yes, I saw that," Sif chuckled.

"Indeed," I nodded with a laugh.

"Well, enough about that, time to start our date!" Sif proclaimed, shaking his bag of gold.

"About that," I smiled, pointing at her bag, "With that much Gold, we could probably finance a million dates,"

"Really?" Sif asked, "Midgard's finance is confusing."

"Not rea– ok, yes you have a point," I nodded, "So, before we begin, if you truly want to pay for this date, let us first exchange a bit of that gold for money,"

"Sure," Sif nodded.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After changing a bit of Sif's gold in a gold buyer for cash, emphasis on a bit, because five ounces of all of her gold gave her 2000 dollars, after that, we went on our date.

And in a very cute manner, Sif proved to be ready for said date, she even had a map to navigate New York, and a list of places she thought were worth visiting marked on the map.

Some were not, but seeing her so happy with this made me feel happy.

First, we went to an old restaurant nearby my house and ate traditional Italian cuisine.

Then, from there, Sif took me to an ice cream shop, where she was determined to test every flavor on the menu.

The Shop had two hundred flavors.

From there, we went to the park, where we walked and talked for a few hours, sharing stories, while holding hands, because she had read on a newspaper humans when courting did such a thing.

After that, she took me to a bar, called the Asgardian Home.

Quite the name, if I do say so myself.

"Alex, this date has been wonderful," Sif smiled.

"It has, you did your homework," I nodded, ordering a beer.

"I did," Sif nodded, "Thor helped me, he found this map, and the newspaper, but I did the rest," she smiled proudly.

She was so beautiful, so strong, so fierce, and at times, so innocent, so cute, it was mesmerizing.

"Sif, I want to kiss you," 

Sif looked at me, and with a smile said, "Do it then, or I might take it as an offense if you don't push on your pursues,"

Without another word, I moved closer to her, and let our lips meet for the first time of many.

[Thor Odinson POV]

Today of all days, I was hanging out with Heimdall.

Why? Well, I wanted to know how Alex's date with Sif was going.

"Did they kiss yet?" I asked, Heimdall.

"No," Heimdall groaned, "My prince, don't you have anything better to do?"

"No, not really," I shook my head, how kind of Heimdall to ask.

"So… how about now? Have they kissed yet?" I asked once again.

"For the hundredth time n- no no, wait, they are kissing now," Heimdall replied.

"Huzzah!" I grinned, for I, Thor the God of Thunder had done the ultimate mighty brother deed, I had become the best winggod ever!
