Other-Worldly

Tony watched as the last few SHIELD agents piled into Stark Tower, grinning from ear to ear.

"Let's get this party started!"

Tony Stark had invited a few SHIELD agents (the ones he liked) and his team to a party. The occasion?

"I was bored," he replied to a SHIELD agent who had asked this question. "Care to dance?"

The bar was being severely guarded by Clint Barton as he was drinking himself into oblivion. Natasha tried to stop him, but he just kept drinking. Tony, seeing the bird head toss down shots like it was water, decided to join him. Thor, seeing them also, decided to challenge them all, along with a few eager agents. Immediately, they were all laughing and slung on each other's shoulders. Natasha looked on with disgust.

Steve and Dr. Banner were trying to talk to people, who were seemingly only interested in the Hulk and the Captain's abs. Dr. Banner, tried inching away from the conversation, but to no avail.

Discretely, Steve pulled himself out of the conversations successfully and leaned on a secluded wall. Tony and Clint were now dancing on a table, singing and kicking their legs up. Everyone was laughing and clapping, cheering for them to do an encore.

He sighed and looked sullenly down at his drink.

"You are alone."

Steve jumped. Thor laughed and slapped him on the back. "Forgive me, I did not mean to startle you."

"No! No, it's okay. I just didn't hear you." Steve tried drinking from his glass, but it had shattered on the floor.

"Yes, you looked distracted."

"Yeah, just thinking. Everything here's so…different than what I'm used to."

Thor laughed. "I understand what you are saying."

"How so?"

"When I first came here from Asgard, I had been hit by a-" Thor thought for a second."It is metal, and it has wheels for legs."

"A car?"

"Yes. I had no idea what it was. I had not become accustomed to this world for a while. Now, I enjoy this world, sometimes more than my own."

"Same here. When I, well, melted from the ice, they tried breaking the news of this, err, world slowly. I didn't take well to that. I thought they were holding me prisoner."

Thor laughed. "As did I."

Steve smirked. He had heard the story."I still haven't gotten the hang of anything yet."

Thor nodded knowingly. He then smiled. "But there is something that has not changed."

"What's that?"

Thor motioned to his right, and Steve laughed. They made their way to the bar and tried drinking themselves into oblivion as Tony served them and Clint slouched over the counter laughing at whatever Tony was saying. Alcohol spattered all over the counter surface. Nobody minded.

As the party died down, the SHIELD agents left. Banner stayed for a while and then went to his room. Tony and Clint were knocked out on the couch, leaving Natasha, Thor, and Steve as the only ones awake.

And so, the Spider, the Demigod, and the Captain conversed with each other well into the night, and early that next morning.
