Review, Follow, Fav... Love
-Mickimomo
"Well, hello there."
I glanced up from my laptop to see the world's largest ego, in the flesh, no one other then the well known, and techie-knowy, TONY STARK. Grand introduction don't yah think? I thinks it's better than listing a bunch of titles and rounding it off with etc.
I grunted in response and refocused myself of the document I was working on.
Tony plopped down next to me, leaning against the armrest."So... I heard that you and Kyle broke up." Ignoring him I continued tapping at the keys, but maybe with a bit more speed due to the uncomfortable subject my lovely friend brought up. "Is it true?"
"Yes."
"Why'd you guys break up?"
Growling at the further intrusion of my love life I closed my laptop. "Stark I'm not discussing my personal affairs with you."
"But-"
"PEPPER!" I screamed, clearly agitated by his determination. The said redhead came running in wearing a mini blue dress with black flats. My entire persona changed. "Where are you going?"
Tony glanced at his girlfriend. "We're going out with the gang tonight." she smiled. "Tony was supposed to be inviting you." Her blue eyes stabbed his inner Peter Pan, causing him to whimper into my shoulder. "I'm assuming he hasn't gotten to that yet."
I nudged him playfully. "Nah, he's too busy getting into my love life."
"Oh sweetheart, I heard about Kyle. I can't believe he cheated on you with a guy." she sympathized, filling Tony's nosy ass with information.
"You're ex left YOU for a BOY?!"
I face-palmed, slapping away all of my emotions. "Look I'm going to change. I'll meet you guys in the car."
Tony trailed after my retreating form, but soon stopped when I shot him a heated glare. "Okay."
I walked into my room and yanked a black small lace-holed lacy jumpsuit out of my closet. "People make me frustrated." I huffed glancing at the ashes from when I burned each picture of me and Kyle. Lazily I slid on the short and showy article of clothing, adjusting it as needed.
Maybe too much skin?
My conscious laughed at my personal thoughts. Why? Dress to break necks, to drown people in their own drool, to make girls vanish, and to rule the limelight without making a sound.
Maybe I should where my silver chain with the owls then? I mean I'm not showing cleavage so... I can decorate myself.
Yes. Don't forget you're silver wedge boots, and go do something with that face of yours. Spray on some perfume too.
I scowled at my conscious before obliging. Perfume? Check.
Now I smell like roses.
I stared into the mirror and grinned. My mahogany waves were a nest on the go. Sighing I whipped out a comb and some hair spray and got to work.
Somehow I managed to tame my unruly hair into a bun and popped on some nude colored lip gloss, before skipping out of the room with my owl theme necklace, my silver satchel, and silver wedged boots on.
Wait. I could use my magic. I snapped my fingers and appeared in the car.
"Hey!" Pepper smiled glancing at me through the car mirror. "Ready?"
Stark grinned at me as I nodded a yes. "This is going to be fun!"
"Uh-huh."
"Oh Reeps don't be so boring."
Wrinkling my nose my dark brown eyes flickered up at him and back at my laptop."Don't call me that."
"Okay how does Grimmy sound?"
"Stark, that'd be like me calling you Rusty."
"All right I'll call you G.R. then." he smiled staring back at me. "Whatcha doin back there?"
"Working on some paperwork for the Director."
"You're still doing work for Fury?" He shouted from the passenger seat, ignoring the glare he received from his driving girlfriend.
"I just said I was."
"Well we're here you guys." Pepper said, silencing Stark before he could say something to me. I hopped out of the back seat and put my laptop in my satchel.
Silver wedges kissed the brick sidewalk. I followed behind the couple I arrived with, being sure to not get caught with them in their pics as the paparazzi flashed. The last thing I needed to hear about, is me being a third wheel.
Gosh. Reputation is everything nowadays.
We walked into the restaurant.
"Ah, Welcome to Guava!" the hostess beamed, as she escorted us to the Avenger's reserved table.
Tony glanced at me while Pepper conversed with the hostess. "G.R. You should be smiling."
A small smile appeared and fell as quickly as a shadow. "I sure hope I'm not an extra wheel."
"Yeah." he sighed and squeezed my shoulder. "Well you know how to get a boy, so I'm not too concerned."
We sat down at the table, greeting teammates as we sat. Captain seemed pleased to see me, along with everyone else. "Hey Grims."
I glowered under his gaze."Cap'n."
"Don't be so gloomy." Natasha muttered, sipping at her martini boredly. Clint nodded.
"You should be excited to see us." he added.
"I see you all the time."
Stark chuckled. "Yes but Captain isn't wearing that patriotic suit."
"True." I smirked.
"Ah that's it. Look positive." Banner cheered. I rolled my eyes and drank some water.
"Did you know this place is also a Club?" Pepper asked curiously as she scanned over a mini brochure.
Everyone nodded.
I glanced around, counting each person carefully."Where's Thor?"
"Thor had to go pick up a few things... He said he'd be running-"
"REAPER!"
I glanced up at the buff blonde with a smile of excitement. That's my best friend ever. I mean he's always been there for me and always called me by a reasonable name. "Hammer!"
Thor scooted next to me on the booth with Jane. My eyes froze on the tall man with long, neat, ebony hair and cold emerald green eyes. He stared back at me, not moving a muscle.
"Thor-?" I whispered, not breaking my gaze from the beauty before me, while my hands showered him with very curious and in-need-of-an-answer slaps.
"Yes, Reaper?"
"Who's that?"
"Oh that's my brother. His name is-"
The man zoomed to me, sat next to me on my left side and grabbed my hand gently. "My name is Loki, and yours is?"
"Grim. Grim Reaper." I blushed at the excitement gleaming in his eyes. Loki seemed a bit taken back by my name, yet intrigued in a polite manner.
"Like... Grim... THE Grim Reaper?"
"Yeah. I have a scythe and everything. If my name bothers you, you can just call me G.R. or I guess Grims."
"Hey, hey. Why are you being so flirty with Grim?" Natasha teased, staring at Loki.
"It's kinda hard to not notice such a beautiful woman sitting here all alone."
Pepper snickered at my reddened face. "Yeah, too bad she's a girl still." I frowned at her and leaned into Thor's bicep for comfort. Thor patted my head lightly.
Loki glanced at us and growled, before turning back to Pepper. "What do you mean?"
"She's only nineteen."
"And I'm only twenty-one."
Clint shook his head. "She likes Thor more."
Jane caught that information and shoved me off of Thor's arm quickly. "Sorry, he's taken."
I shook my head at her jealousy."I know that."
"Lean to the left." she barked, yanking Thor towards her. Shrugging I leaned on Loki.
"The act of leaning has no meaning."
"Oooh that rhymed!" Captain laughed, covering his mouth.
Really Cap'n, Really?
"Stair number 1." Clint whispered into his drink. Growling I snapped my fingers, causing his drink to explode in front of him. Everyone scooched away in shock.
My eyes flamed at him."Shut up."
"No magic!" Pepper scolded, waving her finger at me. "Go dance on the dancefloor or sing some karaoke."
"Fine." I pouted excusing myself from the table. The group watched me trudge towards the edge of the dancefloor and start grooving.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight at Guava we will be doing mashups! Tonight's first basic track tribute will be Primadonna by Marina and the Diamonds." the DJ shouted, making the crowd go wild. My eyes brightened. Man, I loved that song. "The first song to be mashed in will be American Girl by Bonnie McKee!"
The crowd started dancing as the song started.
Cuz I'm an American Girl~
Unconsciously I started dancing... well... twirling my hips. It seemed a bit seductive, but I had no intentions of getting some, tonight. Seduction was sometimes innocent. The crowd danced around me; some people stopped just to watch how graceful I was dancing. Somehow I went from 'Shakira,Shakira-' to 'The Running Man' to 'Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle' to 'The ChaCha Slide' to 'The Dougie'. Honestly I was disappointed with myself, but the crowd went insane when I started doing the 'Cabbage Patch' and 'The Biker's Shuffle' mixed up with some 'Iggy-Azalea-Arm-Swooshin-from-Problems-with-Ariana-Grande'.
And what the crowd loves, they keep; and I was a KEEPER.
*cough* Reaper. *cough*
As soon as the song was over the DJ announced the next song that was going to be mashed with the basic track. "Die Young by Ke$ha!"
For some odd reason people started to mosh against each other during this song, so I had to Oh Oh Evacuate the Dancefloor~.
High-five, if you caught that reference.
"REAPER! I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD DANCE!" Jane gaped, shaking me as soon as I approached the table.
Natasha grinned. "If Secs was here, she'd say 'I told you she was on a pole.'."
"She'd definitely say that." I laughed. Loki was currently staring at me. I was kind of assuming it was because my bun might have died and my hair had become unruly again. "Even though I wasn't- Now JANE PLEASE STOP SHAKING ME." I snapped, holding my throbbing head. "I kept wondering why my world was spinning."
"You keep staring at Loki, duh~" Jane mouthed, so that I could read her lips. Pouting I returned to my seat, in between the two gods.
Groaning, I massaged my temples. "I need a grande frappe on rocks, at once!"
"Such a request won't be given." Pepper huffed. "This is a club, not a-"
A cute, silver haired waiter handed me my drink and winked at me before he left earning a snarl from all of the guys at the table.
I smirked at the redhead. "Not a Coffeehouse as well?"
"I have a newfound respect for you." she bowed slightly.
"Wasn't that waiter kinda adorable?" I grinned, sipping at my drink. Captain and Clint glared at me.
Yah see; me being the youngest, all of the guys except for Loki has adopted me as a little sister, and sadly... they're VERY protective of me. They believe that I deserve nothing but the absolute best, and right now Loki is the best. I guess.
(oooh that rhymed!)
"I was just kidding!" I rolled my eyes at the glares I was receiving. "He's not my type. His soul is too vast."
"W-W-Wait you judge your boyfriend's by their soul?!" Tony gaped.
"I like to have a run over on everything. I mean what if I marry this person. They have to be perfect. No errors or surprises."
Loki became distant at those requirements. He had every right to. He was far from perfect, and full of errors and surprises.
Yet on the other-hand everyone else waited for me to conclude my wants in a guy. "But after what happened with Kyle I've kind of loosened up. He was beyond perfection, and when he made errors everything valuable around him tended to become... broken? Maybe like someone's heart?"
For some odd reason my eyes started to water, so I looked down at my lap.
"Awww. Don't cry!" Natasha pouted, squeezing my extended hands over the table. "There are many, I mean MANY other fishies in the sea."
"Good and Bad." Jane added.
Pepper nodded her head. "Yup. Stark was an electronic fish trapped in the ocean, and somehow I managed to catch his sorry-ass."
I laughed and wiped away my tears-of-misery. "Can't eat robot for dinner."
"Nope." She snickered. "Sure was something interesting to go home and talk about."
Thor flashed me a toothy grin, earning an adorable giggle out of me. Clasping my hands over my mouth I stopped. "So keep going on. You have a new type right?" Banner inquired, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Yup. It's a very narrow group though. Very rare fish are definitely in my taste. I dont want someone who is perfect, because it'll rake away at my perfection. I want someone who has mastered the element of surprise and has learned from their errors. Oh and what would really top it off is if they had-"
Captain groaned. "-green eyes."
"Yup."
"You're taste in eye color is sad." he snorted, chewing on a toothpick.
"Everyone nowadays has either blue or brown eyes. How uninteresting."
