So, a bit of a different twist this time. Steve and Thor making a diplomatic trip to Krypton to visit Kal. Kal showing them the sights of his home world, the three of them going on dates and being cute on Kal's world.

And then it's Kal's turn to invite them to his home. He doesn't have a royal apartment or bathhouse or anything, but he does have a huge shower, an enormous bed that's new and ready to be christened. Thor and Steve are all too happy to help him break it in.

Ooooooh, this is a nice twist, I love it!!

So Steve and Thor are pretty excited to be making this trip; it’s the first real contact between Asgard and Krypton, and everyone’s hopes are high for an alliance. Plus it’s their first official trip together since Steve married Thor and became his consort, so the two of them are looking forward to representing Asgard as a united front, and getting a bit of time to themselves between all the pomp and circumstance.

The Asgardian envoy is warmly welcomed upon their arrival on Krypton, with special congratulations offered to Prince Thor and his consort on their recent marriage. They’re told that their companion for their stay will be Kal-El, son of one of the most revered Kryptonian family lines, and for a moment they’re half afraid that they’ll be stuck with some stuffy old bore who’ll go on about the glory of his ancestry for the whole of their stay.

Neither of them expect the beautiful young man who steps out from the crowd, smiling as he bows his head in greeting. Tall and dark-haired, with piercing blue eyes and a striking jawline, and dressed in red and blue Kryptonian garb that leaves no aspect of his godlike physique to the imagination - the man would make a sculptor weep. And Steve and Thor would be lying if they said they weren’t interested in what they saw.

Over the next few days, any time they aren’t caught up in talks and dinners with the Kryptonian council is spent with Kal as he shows them around his homeworld, and they couldn’t ask for better company. Kal makes for a good host and guide, happy to answer any questions they may have about Kryptonian society, but never taking his role too seriously. On top of that, he’s a good man, humble and kind with no airs or graces, someone Steve and Thor could come to value as a true friend in time. And if either of them find their attention occasionally straying to how soft and plump his lips look, or how nicely the round swell of his ass fills out his pants... well. They’re only human. They’re open with each other about their desires towards Kal, but agree that they shouldn’t try and push him into something he might be uncomfortable with.

One day, the three of them return to the city dusty and sweaty after a long day’s hiking, needing to clean themselves off before another dinner. Kal’s quarters are closer than Steve and Thor’s, so they gladly accept his offer to freshen up there so they won’t be late. Kal’s rooms are pretty much exactly what they’ve come to expect from the man, simple and comfortable with no gaudy displays of wealth or power. The only exception is his bed; pristine enough that it must be new, and enticingly wide and soft, making Thor and Steve wish this dinner could be over already so they could get some proper rest.

“Make yourselves at home,” Kal tells them briskly, pulling off the top half of his suit as he heads over to where the bathrooms must be and tossing it to the floor. Not that it phases Steve and Thor much - it is his home, so he’s entitled to be a bit more casual here. Plus neither of them are complaining at the view of Kal’s strong back and shoulders.

They’re a bit more surprised, to say the least, when Kal does away with his pants too, bending over to reveal an ass to die for, the flex of pure muscle as he disappears into the bathroom rivalling anything they’ve imagined.

Steve and Thor share a look as the sound of running water drifts out the open door, utterly dumbstruck. But any hesitance they feel lasts all of five seconds as they give in to the urge to follow. The shower is larger and more luxurious than they expected (big enough to fit three comfortably, neither of them can help thinking), but that’s not their focus. Wreathed in the mist of the hot shower, Clark’s even more beautiful than they could have imagined, his thick cock curving proudly up towards his belly as he runs his hands over his body in long, sensuous strokes.

“Do you know how often I’ve imagined the two of you in here with me?” His eyes stay shut as he tips his head back into the spray, but Kal clearly knows he has an audience and is enjoying every moment of it. “How badly I’ve wanted to touch you, to taste you, and have you do the same to me?” His eyes finally open as he takes himself in hand, meeting Steve and Thor’s gaze with a look of wanton lust. “How many times I’ve painted my skin with my own come, wishing it was yours?”

Just as dinner is getting underway that evening, the Kryptonian hosts receive a message from Prince Thor apologising for his absence, as he and his husband have chosen to turn in early after a long day of travelling. Kal-El’s absence is also noted with some curiosity, but waved aside. The boy’s always been a bit lackadaisical with official events, no point in chasing him down if he’s decided he wants a break for a night.

Not that Thor and Steve get much rest. And not that Clark gets much of a break. Not until the first rays of sunlight creep through the windows, after hours of fondling, sucking and fucking each other senseless in every room of Kal’s quarters. But as the three of them lie together in a tangled, sticky mess in Kal’s thoroughly christened bed, they all agree that while regular visits will be needed in the future to maintain bonds, first contact between Asgard and Krypton has gone swimmingly.

Painful Memories...

I came across some old photos. Some of my wedding. I can look at these pictures now with less emotion. There is sadness but I really can’t identify with that person in the photo anymore. Does this mean I have detached myself? I remember being there. Have I healed from the wounds that are still painful to mention? This day, more than 17 years ago, was a start of a major trial in my life. Having the courage to work through the pain of recovery has helped give me the drive and tenacity to overcome financial debt and to succeed in school.

My academic journey started back in 1996, academic achievement did not come easy to me in high school, but I wanted to get a good job, so a few years after high school I started classes at Seattle Central College, in Seattle Washington. I then had a child at age 25 and I became a single mom. I am always inspired by women who say that without hesitation, trepidation or feeling less than women who have a partner. When my son was about three years old, I transferred to Bellevue College. They had a work study program where I could work at the school daycare (where my son was) and also work on my career goals, while having my son close. Due to the early birth of my second son on Nov. 27th, I was unable to finish my last two weeks of course work in the fall of 2003. As a result, I received a failed grade in my personal enrichment courses of French 201 and Algebra II. However my GPA for my science classes were within the range they needed to be. But, even so, I had to quit my job and dropped out of college since my son was born two weeks before the final exams.

On the day of the wedding, It was a beautiful, warm day in September 2004, I remember, the kids were dancing and laughing, the lakeside property was gorgeous. I remember my family and friends being around me, it felt like a different life. I don’t like going back in my thoughts. The pain of those memories has become less as time’s gone on. To go from such a happy day celebrating with the person I wanted to live my life with to days later, almost losing my life to this person. This is a story, no one wants to tell. Four days after my wedding, I was a victim of a road rage incident, where I was physically assaulted and (along with my infant son) nearly killed. My husband of four days was charged with reckless endangerment and assault and then arrested. A passerby had seen the incident and called 911. I still can’t believe this happened to me. He never apologized for what he had put us through, we never saw him again except at a distance. I then started therapy for the physical pain that was inflicted on me, the emotional pain would be a much longer process of healing.

When you go through the family court system and testify in front of everyone, what you go through, it is very difficult. After the shock wears off, the shame sets in, it’s hard to talk about. They (the court advocates) encourage you to talk, saying that it saves lives. I felt lost and defeated. I was forced to go through court ordered therapy, which I knew, any invasive findings would be broadcast in court. I had to acknowledge other incidences of abuse that led up to the escalation to the road rage. I was faced with the reality of my own denial of what was happening to me. The excuses I would make to myself. He was just stressed out. Maybe it was a psychotic break? I couldn’t be objective or logical enough to begin to imagine why someone would do such things to a person they profess to love. I didn’t want a stomach ulcer on top of everything else. I was able to get a pro bono attorney for the first trial. But after my ex-husband went to domestic violence treatment, there was a new trial. This was because, where there is “abusive use of conflict,” the courts don’t allow mediation to settle parenting plans. This put me in financial peril, and I have struggled financially ever since.

It’s been many years since the assault and arrest. I was vilified and blamed for what caused our separation to our community and friends. According to his account, it was all an exaggeration, a misunderstanding. I heard him say in court that I was crazy, emotionally unbalanced. Especially during the child custody proceedings. I was so afraid of him and what he would do to me. I couldn’t even comprehend fully what he was doing, who he even was. Was he my enemy now? He blamed me for getting him arrested, even though I had not been the one who called the police, but an anonymous stranger did! I felt alone, scared, traumatized. I hated having to go through the court hearings and hear the venomous words coming from him and his attorney. It made me feel crazy, out of my mind. I had to get away, I saw him everywhere, I was always looking over my shoulder. Sudden movements would make me jump. Flashes of the trauma would enter my mind. While driving my car, when I would see brake lights I would tense up and my heart would skip a beat. How could I even co-parent with this person? My Post Traumatic Stress was keeping me from moving beyond what happened to me, keeping me from moving forward. But I knew I had to somehow keep it together and be strong for my children.

After the divorce, I was given permission to move out of state. In 2007, my brother, who lived in Northern Kentucky, offered me a job. Because of this, I was able to move out of state with my children. I am so grateful to my brother for his help in this transition. During this time, my father had entered retirement from the military out on the west coast. He and my mother were planning on moving to Cincinnati to help my brother with his business. The timing of the move was good since we would be able to have the support of my family, during this time of healing and transition. Upon my move, my ex was continuing to file motions at the Seattle court house. I had to hire an attorney, from out of state, to represent me and to respond to every motion filed. Within 5 years, he filed 12 motions that were all dismissed for lack of credibility. Even though he was ordered to pay my attorney’s fees, these orders were not enforced, therefore leading me to incur much debt over the years. With the two divorce trials costing $40,000 and the additional $10,000, my finances were in trouble. I had to ask my parents for help with these huge costs. Two years after the divorce, he stopped paying child support and my daycare costs exceeded $6,000. I had to ask my parents for help with the kids, which allowed me to work more hours to pay my debts. I have been used to working two or sometimes three jobs to get a handle on my finances. In 2015 I was able to receive vocational training so I could earn more per hour.

I am a single parent living in the Cincinnati area for almost 14 years now. After much healing and hard work, I am anxious to continue my academic career goals. I am the proud parent of two well-adjusted young adults and I’ve had much experience juggling work, school and parenting. I also became the caretaker of my grandmother the last year of her life. In which I moved her into my home with my two children. During this time, as I partnered with the hospice care staff, I assisted in many nursing responsibilities. Reflecting back on this now, I feel that nursing is the field I belong in. During my time in Cosmetology school, I took on another caretaking job. I did this while managing my other full-time job. Then in 2018, I enrolled in an accelerated program at the Cincinnati School of Medical Massage. Where we had rigorous course work in A&P and Pathology. I also became a personal care assistant in 2018. I also currently work as a licensed Cosmetologist and LMT, as well as an STNA.

I am happy to say that my domestic partner and fiancé is supportive of my desire to finish my nursing education. Over time I had developed a tougher exterior, not able to readily identify with my feelings. I was so guarded, out of necessity. An armor of survival. I find it more difficult to make friends, especially deep friendships that take invested time and effort. Letting people in feels too high of a risk at times, as the emotional scars surface. Where I attended massage school, they taught us what it means to be “semi-permeable.” The idea of boundary lines that define your personal space and the space for the client. If you are too closed off, then you won’t be able to tune into anyone else’s needs. This was a wonderful exercise for me in many ways. It’s helped me in my relationship with my children as well. In the past, I’ve heard awful comments directed towards me, anywhere from saying that I am a bad mother, to questions like, why didn’t I just get an abortion. Being on the other end of the parenthood journey, with my kids entering the adult world, I would say it was worth the pain, the struggle. We persevered, we are all tough as nails, I can see it from the work ethic my kids have. Even in the most ideal circumstances, children can still have issues. But seeing the love for me in their eyes is very moving. Watching them run around, playing and laughing is like watching my heart dancing outside of me. I wish that some things had been different for them. But through the struggle, we established a strong bond, which I believe will last for years to come. I don’t know who made this quote but it sums up so much. “A son makes love stronger, days shorter, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for.”

This trial has taught me to not be too quick to dismiss the notion that real love does heal our wounds. In my younger years I would have thought of that notion too trite. Having my children with me in my life has given me profound purpose and meaning. As small children, they looked to me as their constant, their calming force. They were my purpose for staying strong, stoic, steady. When they were little and even now, I give them my continued support. Also, it took me years of being single to allow myself to fall in love again. I feel thankful to my family and to my God that I have another chance at a lifetime partnership. So much healing has taken place but the memories in the emotions are still there. The muscle memories within the physical scars, are still there.

I see what those court advocate where talking about, all those years ago. I have come through the pain of a trial that allows me to empathize with the profound pain of others. Sharing my pain can save lives, or at least meeting others at their depths, so they feel less alone. Not that I have the answers, only the experience in the struggle to survive. I believe now, as a nurse (or soon to be) I can come along side someone and show them I understand what it’s like to be in pain. I can better understand where they’re at because of what I’ve been through. Not everyone is ready to hear a story like mine. A lot of times i get the, “ wide eyed, gaping mouth” reaction. But sometimes I meet someone who says, that it was what they needed to hear. It gives them the courage to set out on their own journey of survival. To start fresh, to start over if that’s what is necessary to start the healing process. As a massage therapist I deal with people and their physical pain all the time. I build care plans around strategies to begin the healing process. Many times, the physical pain is locked up with emotional pain underneath. I understand this, as I am there with them, letting them cry through their trauma. It’s a process that I feel privileged using my skills and abilities to aid in the healing.
