Tony followed the others into the jet before sitting down. Carol was explaining roller coasters to Thor, something that would surely confuse the Asgardian and wouldn't make sense to him until he actually saw one in action. They'd tried the references thing with him before, many a flat screen television had a hammer sized hole through it's center, from any time Thor had become upset with a villain in a film or television program. Of course, he'd just yell, 'Another', and Pepper would have to go order a new TV.
“It works almost the same way that the safety harnesses do on roller coasters – haven’t you been to an amusement park yet, Thor? They’re terribly fun – even for superheroes…”
"Actually, I think they're kind of boring, unless someone throws up, that's always funny," Tony stated for the sake of disagreeing, he probably would even enjoy some coasters, especially the ones that had made Captain America vomit, a story of which he'd heard through the grapevine, "Besides, the three of us can fly faster than any coaster."
Carol asked him to help Thor buckle in as punishment for his slight. Tony sighed and unhooked himself before going to help his friend, "Alright, I'll show you, once. You just take these buckles, and put them into the holes for them. That way, if we crash, you don't go breaking through my expensive windshields. If we're in a shield ship, go ahead and ride loose, I'm not footing the bill." He patted Thor on the shoulder and said, "I'd play a movie to keep you entertain, but after the Lion King incident, I think we'll pass." |

Meanwhile, Thor was examining the five-point harnesses with some curiosity. "And how do I wear these?"
Ms. Marvel glanced back at the Thunder God and said, “It works almost the same way that the safety harnesses do on roller coasters – haven’t you been to an amusement park yet, Thor? They’re terribly fun – even for superheroes…”
"Amusement park..." Thor rolled the words around his mouth, trying them out. "Nay. I have not. I shall have to rectify this. Tell me, is an amusement park something a woman of Midgard would appreciate?"
"Actually, I think they're kind of boring, unless someone throws up, that's always funny," Tony stated for the sake of disagreeing, "Besides, the three of us can fly faster than any coaster."
“Just settle on in and get comfortable, and then bring the thing down over your head… and click the buckles together – Tony, would you mind helping him out with that while I get us prepped for takeoff?” Ms. Marvel asked as she ran through he familiar procedure on the unfamiliar aircraft.
"Oh, aye," Thor agreed, taking his seat and shrugging into the shoulder straps of the harness. "But, Iron Man, there are times when speed is not the sole measure of satisfaction." He peered at the buckle. "I already despise this contraption."
Tony sighed and unhooked himself before going to help his friend, "Alright, I'll show you, once. You just take these buckles, and put them into the holes for them."
Thor followed Tony's directions, scowling as he did. "'Tis simpler to gird myself in a shirt of close- woven mail for war, and offers less protection. What is the purpose of these belts?"
"That way, if we crash, you don't go breaking through my expensive windshields. If we're in a shield ship, go ahead and ride loose, I'm not footing the bill."
"Ah, I see. Yes, that does make sense."
He patted Thor on the shoulder and said, "I'd play a movie to keep you entertain, but after the Lion King incident, I think we'll pass."
"Scar was a base and loathsome villian, Iron Man, and I had assumed we were watching one of the news monitors." He chuckled. "Had you but said it was an entertainment, then Disneyland would have been spared my wrath."
In truth, it hadn't been terrible wrath. He'd arrived and demanded the whereabouts of Scar. After a moment's confusion, one of the employees had explained that he was a cartoon character. And then what a cartoon was. Mildly abashed - although really, given some of the other places he'd visited in the Nine Worlds, a talking lion wasn't particularly unbelievable - he'd stayed around to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
"But this gets us no closer to scourging the Ninth Ring from the face of Midgard. Miss Marvel? How long, ere we bring justice to them?"

(OOC: I'm not sure quite where to go with this next, and Carol's not sure how fast the jet can go or how long it will take to get where we're going - where are we going, BTW? So... Uhh... Shall we just skip on ahead so we don't have to write out their entire flight? *HUGS* PS: First, your post had me rollin' with laughter. You, Sir, are full of awesome.)

(I'm okay with skipping ahead.)
