Thor was watching Athena as she was sitting at her desk in their quarters. She was looking at several childhood photos.

“Everything okay Athena,” Thor asked in a soft voice.

“Oh just going through old photos,” Athena sighed with a deep breath. “Just received word one of my friends growing up lost her son. On top of that, another friend past away as well. I can never get use to death, so I just try to block it out and I often shut down.”

“I understand,’ Thor says placing hiss right hand on her left shoulder. Is that your friend in the picture?”

“It is,” Athena replied. “That is Emily and the lady standing behind us is my grandmother Addison.”

“I remember your Grandmother,” Thor said admiring the beautiful lady, “The lady that does not age. How old is she now if she is still alive?”

“She was born in 2334, so do the math,” Athena said, “She knew how to handle death. She had nine husbands. Five of them died when they were married and the other four, she divorced. Plus do not get me started on how many lovers she had over the decades. I think my favorite one was named Nick. Nick was super cool. He is an Admiral now, probably retired. He had those boyish eyes that just hypnotized me when I looked into them. I think Addison is with him now.”

“So where is she now?” Thor asked.

“Some secret mission for Starfleet I guess,” Athena was trying to recall. “Or maybe she is missing in action. Who knows. If she is still alive, I bet she is still having sex with whoever she is with, be it man or woman.”

“So if she was here right now,” Thor asked softly, “What would she suggest?”

“She would suggest mark each death by doing something new,” Athena said smiling. “Either a new restaurant or picking up a new hobby. So I tell you what I am going to do. I am going to go to the Holodeck and finally let you teach me how to ride a motorcycle. But first,” Athena said standing up, “Let us make love and no one else’s business.”

“Oh I like that,” Thor said escorting her to the bed.

Few hours later, Athena’s nude body was snuggled to Thor’s naked body. “Thor, your parents named you right. You should did hammered my body good. Such raw force is what I needed.”

“And your parents named you wisely as well,” Thor breathed in a bit. “You sure are smart on what to do and when to do it and you do justice to our love making.”

“Please take care of yourself on your away missions,” Athena said kissing his chest, “I do not want to be a widow. Unlike my grandmother’s husbands and mates, you would be a tough act to follow. You have the best hammer in the universe.”

“Thank you for the compliment but some of your grandmother’s partners died of old age. I am sure they left this universe with a smile on their face.”

“Wellllllll,” Athena giggled,”That Siren one certainly did. He made love to her then he died with a smile on his face.”

“I bet he did,” Thor grinned.
