Hey guys, I'm back! I'd like to apologize in advance, because I won't have a lot of computer access for a while, and the chapters will come less frequently. The only thing I'll be able to keep up on for now is Forsaken, in which the first 14 chapters are already written.
And yes, I became a brony over Christmas break. I only have one more episode to watch now.
Typical stuff, I don't own the Avengers, or MLP:FiM.
CHAPTER SEVEN
And I expected as much now, the day of the battle is about ready to spontaneously combust. People are running around the helicarrier like nuts, and I'm no exception. This is mostly because Loki's trying to convince Fury to let us fight. I'm pretty sure he has footage of us, so I don't have any idea what he'll say. I'm bored of watching old episodes of MLP:FiM on NetFlix, so I grab my sketchbook, and begin to form the body of Fletcher Renn. It's a simple drawing, but everything feels wrong. I hear a muffled explosion, followed by light footsteps running down the hall.
The door bursts open to a slightly scorched Rayna panting, "I accidentaly blew up the coffee machine."
"How?" Laughing, I add, "That actually was a bet I had going, need to make sure that Phil gets me my 20 bucks."
"Well, I set up the coffe and cup and stuff, right? I hit the brew button, and it started shaking. Looks like there's one angry Avenger on your trail. Right on cue, I hear an angry scream from down the hall.
"Who destroyed my coffee machine?" came the voice of Tony Stark.
"You might want to hide now." Rayna nods, and runs into the closet. I shut my door, and right on time, I suppose. Stark ran down the hall just as I closed it. "Ray, you're safe now, he's gone." She pulls herself out of the closet, and relaxes.
"I really need to figure out how to not explode coffee machines with my powers."
"Especially not the ones that Tony takes days to build. Don't ever tell him that it was you, okay?" She nods, and yet another set of footsteps is heard outside. This time I hesitate outside the door, not sure if it's Tony.
There's a loud banging on the door. "ARI, OPEN THIS F-ING DOOR NOW!" Thank God, it's only Stella. I open the door, and she runs in and slams the door shut. "What did you do to piss Stark off?"
"Accidentaly repeated the blender incident with the coffee machine." admits Rayna.
"Oh shit, you're screwed. Be glad he doesn't know what the blender incident was."
We laugh for a while, distracted from what's at hand. I turn on my laptop and open a second Netflix tab. Rayna pushes me out of my seat and types in something, covering the screen. The windows switch, so that we don't know what she picked for us to watch.
She turns to me, and tells me, "You need to go get Loki. I think that he should watch this with us." I nod, and walk to the door. I pause to open the lock, and Stella adds, "And see if Tony's figured it out yet. I don't really want to risk Rayna right before a battle."
I walk about 10 steps in the hall, and when I'm about to knock on the next door, a still pissed Tony storms up to me. "Do you know who the hell destroyed my coffee machine?"
"How the hell would I know? I've been on Netflix all morning. It's kinda hard for me to think about anything but the My Little Pony theme song."
"Let me know if you find anything. And just so you know, he's still not back." He continues down the hall, almost knocking an agent to the floor. I reenter the room, and Rayna tackles me. "You know, you kinda forgot that he's still trying to reason with Fury." She sighs, then I turn to the screen. Waiting to be played was the movie "The Avengers."
"I wanted to show him that what he did was the right thing. He pretty much saved himself from getting his ass kicked by everyone except Natasha." she explains. "I think he was the one that would need to see it the most." She turns and switches back to my other tab. "And what about the coffee machine? Is he still oblivious?"
"He doesn't know, but nonetheless, I'd stay away from him for a little bit longer." I laugh and hit the play button. I continued watching from the middle of "Party of One", about at the time the inanimate objects started talking to Pinkie. Neither Rayna or Stella had ever watched the show, and I was surprised by how quickly they took to it. We got through a couple more episodes, and are about to begin "The Return of Harmony Part Two", when a loud crack sounds behind us. Standing behind us is Loki, with a look of indifference on his face.
"How'd it go?"
First big cliffie!
I'm actually not sure what scenario I want to do for the next chapter. Both will end in the girls fighting the battle, however. Comment which one you want:
-The girls are approved to fight
-The girls are not approved to fight but they teleport in in the spot Dr. Banner would show up in during the original
-Only one of the girls is approved to fight, but she sneaks the other two off the helicarrier with her.
Peace out!
