All were quiet in the Bean and Donut Coffee Bar. A long unseen individual was being confronted by a Hemigod..and that Hemigod was for want of a better phrase "Severely Pissed Off"
Bubba: "Now...wait..Donar I can exp.."
Donar: "I shalt wait not, vile flesh puppet..Thou dares command a God to stay the hand of wrath? NONE MAY COMMAND ME WHENST..
Troia: "Honey? Chill."
Donar: "...Aye milady."
Troia turned Donar towards her and looked in his eyes..behind the sparks pulsing through his irises, she saw jealousy and anger.
"It's ok. Bubba here is with Sarah...he's got nothing to do with me. I want you to be calm and rational. Being jealous is pointless. I wouldn't be"
Sarah: "Didn't you threaten to kill Dancer for being out with Dona.."
Troia: "THAT WAS DIFFERENT!"
Ziles took the chance to calm the situation seeing as anything Bubba or Sarah said would get Bubba dead, and if Troia or Donar spoke..well...same result really.
Ziles: "O.K. I'm sensing a little tension here..let's everybody back away and take a breather and put down any Ausgardian weapons of mass destruction."
Donar studied the scenario. Bubba would die at his hand, this he knew..but at the cost of upsetting his true love..not an option. Sarah too woud be dismayed. The group Dynamic would change. They may even cause an out break of the Liefeld virus in their petty squabbles. Although he dreaded the thought..he would have to use tact. He shuddered at the thought, but placed Mjalcolm on his belt regardless.
Donar: "Very welleth. I shalt stay mine hand for now. Thou hast one sentece to save thy worthless excuse for a life before thou art slain."
Bubba thought quickly. He know the Ausgardian had a short temper and pissing
him off was a really bad idea.
Sarah wondered what the hell she'd gotten
into and why she couldnt find a nice normal guy..she knew they existed..she'd
heard stories about them.
Bubba: "O.k...here goes. One sentence?"
Donar: "That wert two already...."
Troia glared at the Thundergod, and guilt set in.
"So mote it be. Thou hast four minutes."
Bubba breathed a sigh of relief, hoping it wouldnt be his last."Right, well.. firstly you have to know that I really did like Lisa..I wanted to marry her..make her happy. Spend my life serving her..."
"Milady Lisa was not thine to have..."
"I know that now. I was wrong. She was Jarvis' girl and I messed up..I made a huge mistake..i was an idiot, you hae to know what that was like..Oh god, not that you're an idiot..but.."
"Mjalcom sings for thy blood, vermin. Thou hast 3 minutes"
"Well, after that figured the smart thing to do was leave. Lisa and Jarvis needed to be together. So I bailed. Then I heard that Jarvis got a new girl and left town as well..that Lisa was single."
"And thou dared assume that thou wert worthy?" Mjalcolm pulled at Donar's belt, sensing his urge for vengeance.
"No..I just needed to see her..make sure she was ok..when I did, you were with her..and some other guy..and a baby..in a mall."
Troia shifted uneasily in her seat. Donar had seen Lisa? He hadn't told her? And what guy? She'd heard stories about Lisa's..prowess..and had always felt a little threatened by it. Donar noticed Troia's discomfort and turned to her.
"Milady?" He asked, holding her soft chin in his hand. "I believe the vagrant doth speak of two score weeks ago, whenst mine son didst visit pon me. Last I saw, Harlagaz andst Lisa wert talking while I didst return home to thee..my one love."
Troia scowled. "O.k. nice save but don't think that you're off the h.." her sentence melting into a gentle kiss.
Sarah: "AHEM! I believe Mr. Right was mid exposition here??"
Donar's anger having subsided, he sat, calmly listening to Bubba. "THou hast one minute remaining."
"Right..so I saw she wasn't single..so I've been alone since, keeping a low profile. I work at the library now as a cleaner. I saw a woman come in a while ago, returning a romance novel and i thought she looked nice..but a little sad. When I saw her again today..I had to take a chance...and even if it kills me, I'm glad I did."
Ziles, Sarah and Troia all sighed at the romantic nature of this handsome
stranger.
Donar pulled Mjalcom over his head and replied: "Very well. Now thou will feel Hella's cold embrace. Farewell."
All the girls: "NO!"
Donar looked puzzled. "What. He art confessing to preying on Sarah..and stalking her like yon rabid Wjolfen. He must needs die."
Ziles: "But Donar...can't you see he's sorry for the past? He's trying to do the right thing. He could've gone all Zemo, but he did what he felt was right instead...I've been watching humans for some time now..and this one seems sweet."
Sarah looked wistfully at her impromptu date. "You remembered me? From three weeks ago?"
Bubba: "I would remember your face from the dawn of time. You're all I see when I close my eyes, your visage has.."
Donar: "Enough vile sorceror. Thou shalt cast no more spells on women under mine protection! Milady Sarah..Ziles..Troia, my love..canst thou not see he art evil incarnate?"
Troia: "Sweetheart? PLease give him a chance..for me?"
Donar paused. "Damn thy alluring eyes...very well." Donar again returned Mjalcolm to his belt.
Sarah smiled.
As Donar, Troia and Ziles left, Donar turned for the last word.
"Know this Bubba...mine wrath hast ne'er been stayed before..merely detained. Choose wisely thy actions, for thou doth live on borrowed time. "
As the trio left Sarah and Bubba to enjoy their mochas, Bubba muttered to himself.
"Less time than you think, Donar."
