Was anyone looking slightly worried about the pantry ingredients and refrigerated chests Anakin had hauled out the park? Good. You should be worried. There were also three cooking stations set up, and three stacks of terrible, eye-searing shirts in front of Anakin.

Someone stop him from watching food competitions shows into the early hours, gang. "Today will be a cook off!" he announced far-too-loudly through the megaphone. "As always you will work in teams. Your teams will be divided into pairs and as that pair you will work on an appetizer, then tag in the next pair to complete a main dish, and finally your third team pair will make a dessert!"

That seemed too easy.

"You will be bound together like a three-legged race."

There we go.

"And while the food supplies are overwhelming in the choices available to you, the only equipment you have will be what you would find in a typical college freshman's dorm, or in the home of a recently divorced man. Listen for your names! Don't use your powers!"

Jane leaned into that without hesitation. "Thank god for that. I'm not a good cook."

"Somehow, I don't think that matters down there," Dean said, rubbing her shoulder a bit. "It's going to turn into the Apocalypse Now of food challenges. Plus you if you were involved you could always end everything with a lightning strike."

Clearly better than cooking.

"Oh, I could, couldn't I?" Look, it didn't occur to her!

Hey, she's not as sneaky as Dean!

"Yep. Thunder boom. Crack of lightning. Anakin in tears."

Probably not the last one.

Maybe just horrible flashbacks to lightning damage.

"I might have competition on that front though."

Don, you better not literally steal her thunder.

"Well, I don't see the other guy around," Dean said looking around for the other Thor. "Though I kind of wish he did it for those mascot suits last week."

Those things were not comfortable.

"But those were so cute!" Said the person who never wore one.

"Yeah but they were not comfortable," Dean said, shifting slightly at the thought of wearing that thing.

"Well, if it happens again, I'll be sure to volunteer."

And learn the horror.

So much shifting, Jane. So much shifting.

"Oh, please tell me when you do," Dean replied with a grin. "I'll be happy to watch that.

"I'll text you to make sure." Oh, like they wouldn't both be there to see the carnage regardless.

"Or just text me anytime," Dean said with a smirk. "Like say... if you were interested in dinner next week."

"I could be persuaded," Jane replied with a sly grin. "If the offer was right."

"Well, Portalocity does open up some possibilities," Dean said, thoughtfully. "And I do know quite a few greasy spoons and diners with great road food."

"A very good offer, I have to say," Jane replied. "You're on."

Dean chuckled.

And offered her a high five.

"Heck yeah," Jane said, returning the high five. "As long as it's better than Waffle House."

A tall order.

"Oh, well now I'm in trouble," Dean pretended to complain. "I'll have to do my homework now."
