Here's my sequel to "Of Fjords and Flurries", same rules apply to this as the first one.
Enjoy!
"Move your ass, Clint, we're gonna miss the train!" Tony shouted back at his teammate.
"I'm not sure you noticed, but I'm hauling quite a large bag." Clint replied. "I could always just leave it."
"NO!" Everyone else shouted. Clint brought an extra bag to bring home all the souvenirs in, and he was currently threatening to dump it.
The 11:40 train to 'London Charing Cross' will depart in five minutes. An overhead announcement declared.
"We've got five minutes, Steve, tell me we have only five minutes till we get there." Bruce said, trying to stay calm. "The next train doesn't leave for three hours-"
"We're here, we're here!" Steve announced, turning left and pulling out his map. The group had reached the ticket gates, their train just down the platform.
The steward barely had time to say 'train five to London' before the Avengers had flown through the turnstiles and leapt onto the train.
"Ok, ok, we can relax now." Steve said, sighing. "Just put the luggage on the rack here. Give me a hand, Thor."
Steve and Thor stacked the bags so the rest of the group could find their seats.
"I've got the tickets." Loki said, reaching into his backpack. "We're at the end of the next car, it looks like we have two, no wait, four seats around a table."
"Dibs on table." Natasha said. "I need to charge my phone."
"You know, if you just let me tinker with it, I could make it so your movement charges it." Tony suggested. "I can also get universal roaming, JARVIS hooks me up with the strongest connection."
"Where were you in Australia? There was no wifi at all!" Clint asked. "Do whatever the hell you want with my phone, as long as I don't need to keep praying for an unlocked wifi source."
Maneuvering through the train car, the group finally came to their indicated seats. Natasha sat down at the table, along with Tony, Clint, and Bruce. Steve and Thor came up and took the rear facing seats, and Loki snagged the last solo seat.
The train departed with a lurch, and the conductor came over the speaker. "Good morning everyone, this is the commuter Heathrow train service to London Charing Cross. We should be arriving in about 30 minutes, so sit back and relax. The dining car is in car 6, we are currently serving lunch as well as some assorted snacks. Please have your ticket ready for the steward, and, again, welcome aboard."
"If you guys need to get lunch, get something light, we have tea this afternoon at our hotel." Steve informed. "Charing Cross is only a bit of a walk from our hotel, the…." He dug through his phone. "The Corinthia. Coulson said it was close to the big sites around London, and there's a subway stop a few minutes away."
"We're in London now, Steve, the locals call it the Tube." Bruce said. "I picked up a tube map back in the airport."
"Hey Cap, let me see your phone." Tony said, holding out his hand. "I'm ramping everyone's devices up a bit, we can use roaming now for free, and I can get the itinerary to pop up in advance so you don't need to keep searching for it."
"Here, thanks." Steve replied, handing over his phone.
"What do you have in store for us on this adventure?" Thor asked.
"Well, we have tea at 4:00 today, but we have the entire afternoon to kill before that." Steve started. "I was thinking we could walk over to the London Eye, we've got tickets, then maybe see the aquarium? We have something called the London Pass, it gets us into certain places for free. The tea serves as our dinner, then we have some sort of bus tour in the evening, Coulson said it was one of the most popular tours in London. But for the rest of the week, we have a biking tour of the city tomorrow, Buckingham palace tour, we'll visit the tower of London and westminster abbey, and then a museum crawl. I'm sure we'll find more stuff to do as we go along."
The group disbanded for lunch, and Steve looked out the window. They were getting closer to the city, he could see the buildings off in the distance. This was gonna be so great, he just knew it.
