Prologue
I am feeling strange. My head was pounding with unanswered questions and gallons of unknown feelings. I shook it off for the moment, locking my thoughts away to analyze later. Thunder was arguing with the sky, and in return, the clouds cried. My tower shook with unneeded force and I cursed. Why did Thor have to be such a big show off? The rest of the Avengers were in the lower levels in the tower, doing whatever. I went to the bar and grabbed a bottle of my favorite and strongest scotch. I drunk from the bottle and I sighed contentedly as the amber liquid ran down my throat. A head splitting pound came from the balcony and a snarl could be heard from where I was standing. I ignored Thor's presence but I tensed. The smell and...aurora that didn't come from Thor was overwhelming. It was mint and chocolate like the candy that Olive Garden gave out. Not that I've ever been there, too rich for that. There was also the smell of burning fire.
"Man of Iron, I have a request." I spun around quickly, catching both of them off guard. Thor looked confident but apologetic. The other one just gave me a smirk.
"Since you thought of this brilliant plan, you watch him! Clint would kill him, Nat would kill him, Steve would hand him over to Fury, and Bruce would hulk! What the hell were you thinking?" I shouted at Thor as I paced across the entrance to the balcony. Thor sighed and shook his head.
"I cannot watch him. I have duties on Asgard that I have to attend to." Thor looked like a beaten puppy and I refused to catch his gaze for that reason.
"Well who'll watch him! I'm the only one left and..." Thor caught my eye and gave me a pleading smile. I sighed and fell into the oaf's trap. "Fine. I'll watch him. I don't know what my pregnant fiancé will have to say about that but it looks like I don't have a choice." Thor lit up like a child on Christmas and bounded up and gathered me in his arms, showering me with thanks.
"Man of Iron! Accept my thanks, friend! I promise I shall return by week! I shall visit Lady Jane also! What a wonderful news!" The other one just stood there with that goddamn smirk on his beautiful face. Where did that come from? I shook my head at myself and pushed myself away from the God of Thunder.
"Yeah yeah whatever. Hey, Point Break. You're telling Maria." She was my pregnant fiancé who just happened to work at Shield. Thor froze and frowned.
"No." Thor said.
"Yes, you will unless you want your little evil, conniving brother out on the street." He relented and promised to once he came back from visiting Jane.
He was about to be on his way when he turned around and said, "He will have to sleep in your bedroom. Farewell friend!" And the blond disappeared from my home. I felt a chill on my exposed neck.
