Because, Science!

Ok, so either of those would be fun. Matt Murdock is one of my absolute favorite characters of all time so I'm perfectly willing to come up with some completely random way of getting him and Jane into a story together. It would be amazing, they're both just darling cinnamon rolls I'm sure they'd get along great. I'll come up with something, just gonna take some brainstorming.

Matt's enough of an intellectual and an academic himself, I feel like he'd be the type to want to sit in on a famous astrophysicist's lecture just for funsies. Or he might recognize her voice, from hearing it on TV or something, as she's getting coffee and they have a lovely chat. Lovely chats are lovely.


Now Loki meeting could be interesting and hilarious, there's so much potential for something completely horrid it's brilliant. Jane would be so conflicted; for one, because he destroyed Erik and she can't forgive someone hurting her family like that, but on the other hand everything he did on Svartalfheim... she so would not know what to think. Also, she thinks he's dead! So if Jane was to run into Loki as Loki she'd probably freak out. I really don't know how that would go down, but I'm sure it'd be ridiculously awesome so yes!

Depending on the time of year, Jane is pretty much everywhere but where she wants to be. I'm thinking that right around the time of Age of Ultron she was in like, Dubai because that's a fun random place. When she's stateside she's always in NYC, in Willowdale begrudgingly making appearances at Culver, or very very very rarely in Puente Antiquo hiding out in her lab. So I like to place her in any city with a major university, and she tends to place herself in the best places to observe various occurances of celestial awesomeness when she can chose a placement, it's all dependent on when you're having Loki come to Earth. I'm currently mapping out the places I want to put her based on how best she can see various auroras and meteor showers and what nebula is in the best viewing point here or there, etc.


So, yeah, I like both of these ideas, we'd just have to figure out how to make them work.

So I am in love with the Jane and Matt have lovely latte time idea. She'd actually love a theological discussion. Aside from her grandmother being a rather fanatical baptist, Jane has next to no experience with religion. And she's a brain-picker type, so she'd love to hear all his thoughts about, well, everything really. So yes, I see this as being very lovely. Both ideas kind of mesh well into one. Matt's a champ at tracking people down, so there's the possibility that he's attended a lecture or two and found a way to talk to her one on one to get better answers. Jane would be so stoked to have the chance to talk to someone outside of everything for a change. It'll certainly help her ground herself a bit.


So if it's late September I think I'd want to place her in Darwin, Australia. I'm pretty sure that's like one of the last places anyone would expect Loki to just turn up, so that's fun. He could go there just for that reason, and then whoops! His brother's girlfriend just happens to also be there!! She'd be there mostly to observe fun start stuff right at the autumn equinox like the cute lil star nerd she is. Loki interrupting this would be beautiful. And with Thor being away saving something or other, it'd be really hard for her to tattle on him. But her freaking out would mostly consist of confused rambling, and maybe a thrown punch or swat or something. It'd sure be funny! He may end up getting a little bit of sympathy from her, or he may just get stuck in the biggest mom-level chewing out of his life. Either way, amazingness.

Ugh, I am the worst at decisions! I've gotten busy with work, and been thinking on it and still can't decide which one I'd prefer to start first. The Matt/Jane one would be nice and mellow and just very casual so that's smart. But it might be pretty slow going. Where as with the Loki/Jane one it'd be fun and more dramatic, and the fact that the two characters already know each other would make that easier. But we'd probably need to do more plotting with Loki/Jane than with Matt/Jane, seeing as Matt/Jane is just a nice chat between intellectuals? I dunno! I am the worst!!

I flipped a coin, and Matt won.

(this has totally just been open in a window for over a week when I thought I'd totally posted I am so sorry!!!)

Anytime between the 23rd of September and 1st of October works for me, Jane-chasing-star-stuff-wise. The Autumn equinox is the time for observing zodiacal lights, so she'll likely be around there for that and then maybe for a meteor shower or something too.

When do you think Jane and Matt should have their chat then? I'm horribly slow at writing starters but I can totally start that one if you want me to. Or you can start that one and when the time comes I can do the starter for Loki/Jane.

Sounds good to me! Loki's a master of sneaking places. And I think Jane can come up with reasons to let herself be on a lil vacation for a bit, so really if you need to stretch that out to a later date I can find some reason for her to stick, or I can move her if that'd be better for you.

NYC seems best for setting. But really, I love all of those Jane/Matt options so I'll let you decide which one you'd prefer to do. Any of them, all of them, I'm good!

I totally think Jane and Sif need to have a couple of threads together. I would love to have them become good friends and for some reason I could see a girls night out with Jane, Darcy and Sif (although Sif would totally drink them under the table lol)
