In Which

Chapter 1: In Which I Met The Avengers… And Loki.

It had been 2 years since the incident in New York when Loki, the God of mischief had tried to take over Earth by opening a portal to let an army of alien's on the planet.

During that time my brother, Tony Stark, had sent me away to the country house for my safety. So on that fateful day when Loki released his army and attacked New York, I watched the event play out on my T.V, at the same time I prayed for the first time in my life that my brother would be okay.

My name is Sarah Stark; I am 20 years old with long brown hair and hazel eyes. I am not a genius like my brother, but I am not entirely normal.

Today I found myself sitting in my brothers' tower in the meeting room, around a rather large table staring at the clear liquid in my glass.

"Tony, why am I here again?" I looked at my brother who sat beside me, sipping his glass of alcohol.

"I don't know you randomly showed up at my door last night at 3 o'clock in the morning." Tony replied, downing the rest of his drink.

I nodded and sipped my drink, "well, why are we in the meeting room?"

"Fury called a meeting for the Avenger's."

"But again, why am I here?"

Tony shrugged, "Here eat some popcorn."

He placed a random bowl of popcorn in front of me.

My eye twitched, "The hell did you get the popcorn."

"It was on the table."

"So, this popcorn that you are giving to me, your sister, could be like a million years old and severely poisonous."

"It's not poisonous."

"So it could be a million years old."

Tony glared at me as I grinned sheepishly.

I was about to say something sarcastic when the door slammed open and a tall man walked in.

"Sarah, meet Steve. Steve this is my sister Sarah, ignore her she is of no importance."

I punched my brother in the arm causing him to yelp.

"I'll show you."

I stood up just as the door opened again.

"Sarah, Bruce you already know Steve. Sarah that's Bruce, Don't get him mad. He turns into a giant mean green machine."

My eye twitched again, "You know you don't have to introduce me to everyone."

The door opened again.

"Jesus if that door opens again I'm throwing a lamp at the next person!"

"Sarah that's Director Fury, Director Fury this is my sister Sarah."

I turned my glare to my brother, "Tony I swear to God, introduce me to someone again."

Tony put his hand over my mouth, "Now now dear sister, you need to learn to be quite."

I licked his hand but he didn't budge.

"I've lived with you for 20 years; I can handle your saliva."

My eyes narrowed.

"Everybody sit down." Director Fury ordered (not asked) everyone.

My eye twitched again as Tony guided me to my seat and sat me down with his hand still over my mouth.

"Sir, are we not missing Thor, Hawkeye and Agent Romanoff?" Steve questioned while sitting down across from Banner who sat beside Tony.

"One of you can fill them in later; right now we have an emergency."

I snorted into Tony's hand. Tony's nose scrunched up in disgust.

"As of 2 o'clock this morning something caught our computer's attention, 3 energy spikes located in 3 different areas. One in New Mexico, close to the town that Thor had been in the second close to New York and the last in Alaska."

A sudden light filled the room making me move Tony's hand from my mouth to cover my eyes, slowly Tony removed his hand from over my eyes causing me to blink and stare at the 3 figures standing in front of the door.

"Sarah, this is-"

I slapped my hand over his mouth before he could finish introducing the people to me, and glared harshly at him.

"What did I say!?" I hissed

"nmph to improduf you!" His words where mumbled against my hand.

"And what did you just try to do." I whispered

"Improduf you?"

I removed my hand from his mouth, "Don't do it again or something bad will happen to your alcohol stash."

Tony's eyes widened, "You wouldn't."

"Oh, but I would."

Fury cleared his throat, "Would you two stop your bickering and sit down."

Tony sat down but I stayed standing staring blankly at him.

"And I ask again, why am I even here?"

No body answered.

"And that men and one lady is when I take my leave and steal one of Tony's bikes."

With that I walked out of the meeting room and made my way to the garage, ignoring the looks I got from the rest of the people in the room.

I grabbed the keys to Tony's black and green Kawasaki ninja and made my way over to the bike, pulling the black covering off of it and starting up. I revved the engine and took off out of Stark tower and drove off towards the Zoo.

~~(*.*)~~

I stood in front of wolf exhibit, away from everyone else.

You have come back

"Of course I have." I whispered staring into the bright blue eyes of the pitch black wolf on the other side of the cage.

I did not think you would, you humans have a tendency to lie.

I smiled at it, "I am not like most humans, as you can tell."

True, for you have been gifted.

I nodded at the wolf and watched as he lay down against the fence.

My cell phone rang; I pulled it out of my jacket pocket and answered it.

"Where the hell are you!"

"Tony! How have you been, haven't seen or talked to you in a while."

"No, time for your sarcastic remarks… Get home… Now!"

And then Tony had the nerve to hang up on me.

You should go, pup. That human sounded worried.

"I will try to see you again soon." I whispered to the wolf as I left.

As I was making my way towards Tony's bike I bumped into someone, which in turn caused me to drop my phone.

I reached down to pick it up but someone had already picked it up for me.

"You dropped this." Said person stated.

I looked up into bright… pink… eyes?

"You have pink eyes." I stated while taking my phone.

The guy nodded, "Yes I get that a lot, a genetic mutation."

"Odd. Anyways thank you, but I have to go before my brother sends out a search party."

"May I know your name before you leave?" He asked.

"May I know yours?" I replied.

He smirked, "Adrian Zane."

"Sarah Stark." Was all I said before I drove off.

~~(*.*)~~

I walked into the main living room area in Tony's penthouse at the top of his tower, dropping the keys onto the table by the door I turned to everyone in the room.

"You know, it would be easier to take a picture… it lasts longer."

"Sarah, shut up." Tony stated standing by his bar and downing a glass of brown liquid.

"No, I was born with a mouth and I shall use it till the day I die, which could be tomorrow or in 50 years or hell it could even be in like 10 seconds."

Tony sighed, "Thor, Loki and Tara… this annoying human… thing is my sister Sarah."

He ducked as I threw a vase at him.

"That vase was five thousand dollars!"

I shrugged sitting down on the couch and plopping my feet up on the coffee table.

"So, why did you want me home now?"

"It was late."

"Tony it's only six."

"Yeah, that's too late for you."

"Says who!?"

"Says me."

I raised my eyebrow… and turned my head looking into bright green eyes.

"Your eyes are pretty." I whispered

Said eyes blinked but stayed silent.

I turned my head to the two sitting on the other couch across from me.

"You remind me of a bear." I said to the guy, "And … you… holy… shit… Tara?"

Tara's emerald eyes shined brightly at me as she waved from her spot, "Sarah, Haven't seen you in almost three years."

I blinked, "These are your brothers! A Bear and …" I turned towards the green eyes man sitting beside me, "A very … pretty… eyed… person! And you didn't tell me!"

Tara chuckled, "Yes I did, I said my brothers where Thor and Loki."

"But… but …. The books make them look so much uglier."

Tony cleared his throat.

"You guys know each other?"

I nodded, "Remember when I told you an alien landed in the field."

Tony shook his head, "No."

I glared at him, "Well she was the Alien, which had neglected to tell me she had a beautiful brother."

Thor smiled.

"Not you." I stared at him.

Thor's smile fell as Tara snickered.

"No, I forbid it." Tony stated crossing the room and standing in front of me.

"You forbid what?"

"You and him, It is not happening so get it out of your head…"

I blinked, "Say what?"

"I know it's going through your head, you are not going to date or… or dare I say it… sleep with reindeer games…"

I blushed, "Anthony, sleep with one eye open."

Tony patted my head, "Glad we got that settled."

And then he turned to Loki, "You… no… touch … my … sister… "

"I'm pretty sure he speaks English Tony."

"Sarah… go in the kitchen and make me a sandwich or something."

My eyes narrowed.

"Oh…oh." Tara whispered she leaned towards Thor, "You should watch this."

My eyes narrowed on Tony, as he suddenly stiffened.

"Oh shit."

I tackled him to the floor and sat on his back.

"Make you a what, I'm sorry I'm a little deaf I couldn't quite hear you!" I growled while grabbing the waist band of his boxers and pulled up giving him a wedgie.

"Ah, Mercy… Mercy!" Tony whined trying to get me off of his back by rolling over.

"It don't work like that!" I grabbed the front of his boxers and pulled.

"Oh my god! My balls." Tony groaned as I crawled off of him.

I blew the hair out of my face, "Well it was nice seeing you again Tara, nice meeting you random people of a team called Avengers. What you are avenging I will never know… but whatever… Loki, you once again have pretty eyes. We all know I'm awesome, but awesome needs to sleep."

I turned around and walked into the door.

"Ow…" I rubbed my nose.

~~(*.*)~~

Loki watched the woman walk out of the room while rubbing her nose, Stark laid on the floor still, Banner sat at the bar with the Captain and his brother and sister sat on the couch in front of him.

"Well, Stark. Your sister seems like an interesting person." Banner commented

His sister snorted, "You have no idea."

Stark sat up, "Well if you are all tired feel free to take one of the guest rooms."

"Goodnight then." His sister stated while getting off of the couch.

"G'night mam." The Captain replied.

Thor's eyes narrowed slightly.

And Loki chuckled before standing up, "I would say I bade you all goodnight but I do not."

"Stay away from my sister!" He heard Stark shout after him.

Loki smirked and walked down the hallway and opened the last door on the right.

He looked at the deep green walls and nodded it wasn't like his old room back in Asgard but it was better than the prison cell that he had been living in for the past 2 years.

"What are you doing?" the odd female was standing in a pair of short shorts and a tank top at the other end of the room having just exited the room behind her that was leaking steam into the bedroom.

"I require sleep and this is the room I shall have."

"No."

"No?" Loki questioned

She nodded, "Yes this is my room."

"But I quite like this room."

"Then take the one across from here, it's the exact same minus the slight feminine touches."

And with that she pushed him out of the room and slammed the door in his face.

Loki glared at the door.

He would have to teach this mortal a lesson, and he was going to have fun doing it.
