Chapter Ten

"C'mon Jade." Natasha muttered, looking up at the portal. The other Avengers stared up at the portal desperately. After a few seconds though, no Jade was visible, and they could see the flames from the missile's collision with the mothership.

"Close it." Steve said sadly. Natasha paused, still looking up at the portal, then nodded and thrust the scepter into the device, breaking it and shutting off the portal. Just as it was closing however, a small black figure dropped out of the portal, falling towards the ground. Natasha was the first to notice it, and she gave a small smile. "Son of a gun." Steve said, impressed. A second later however, both Steve and Thor noticed something.

"She's not slowing down!" Thor said, beginning to spin his hammer. Just as Jade reached the buildings, Hulk jumped in the air, catching her limp body and then jumping to the ground, sliding across the pavement when he landed. He quickly pushed her body of him as Thor and Steve ran to them. Thor turned her onto her back and ripped the visor off of her helmet, tossing it to the side. They stared intently at her, but she made no movements, not doing anything that would suggest that she was still alive. The three Avengers stared at their fallen teammate morosely for a moment, and then Hulk roared. Jade's eyes snapped open, and she gasped. Hulk let out another roar, this one of celebration, as Jade looked around wild eyed.

"What the hell?" She said, slowly calming down. "What happened? Please don't tell me that one of you gave me the kiss of life, because I am a lesbian, and I will kick your ass when I can move again." Thor gave a small smile, and Steve looked around.

"We won." He said slowly, sounding disbelieving.

"I hope we won." Jade said. "Otherwise I just flew a nuke into space and pissed off my girlfriend for no reason." She frowned, and then looked at the others. "You guys ever try shawarma?" She asked. "I noticed a shawarma joint about two blocks from here during the battle. I don't know what it is, but with a name like that I want to try it."

"We're not finished yet." Tony said walking up to them. Everyone but Jade, who was still lying on the ground, looked at Stark Tower.

"Oh right, goat boy." Jade said, nodding. "Alright fine, but shawarma afterwards."

Loki slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, still dazed by the beating Hulk had given him. He frowned, then turned around, coming face to face with an arrow, and the Avengers. Loki stared at the heroes silently for a second. "If it's all the same to you," He said. "I think I'll have that drink now." The Avengers, unsurprisingly, were not amused. Steve walked away from the group to make a call to SHIELD, and Jade, now out of her armor, walked over to Tony's bar.

"Sorry, no booze for wannabe world conquers." She said, grabbing a surprisingly intact glass. "There's plenty of booze for heroes though." She said, reaching over to grab an intact bottle.

"Uh, uh, don't you dare drink my booze." Tony said, turning away from Loki to glare at Jade. "You're not even twenty-one yet, I'm not going to give alcohol to someone who isn't legal." Jade rolled her eyes, opened the bottle, and took a swig straight from it, ignoring the glass.

"C'mon Tony, this is the second time I've helped save the world, in as many years. I think I've earned some booze."

"She's got a point." Clint said, handcuffing Loki. Steve walked back over to the group.

"SHIELD's sending some agents in a quinjet to pick him up." He told the others. "They should be here in five minutes."

"Alright, five minutes till shawarma." Jade said with a grin, taking another gulp of the whiskey. Clint and Natasha gave her a confused look.

"What's this about shawarma?" Natasha asked, confused.

"She decided that we should go see if this shawarma joint two blocks over is still open after we hand over Loki." Tony said, taking the bottle from Jade and pouring his own glass.

"Why?" Natasha asked. Jade shrugged.

"I'm hungry. And I want to try something new. Besides, with a name like shawarma, how can we not try it now that we know it exists?" She said. Steve nodded, and Natasha gave him a surprised look.

"You agree?" She asked. He shrugged.

"She's got a point. Besides, we just fought a battle to save the world and won. I think we can afford a little silliness." Jade grinned and attempted to take the bottle from Tony. Tony refused to give it up though, and the two played a little game of tug-of-war until Thor walked over, took the bottle from them, and drank the rest of it himself. Jade and Tony stared at him, and he just smiled and set the empty bottle back down on the counter. They stared at it for a moment, then jumped over the counter and began looking for another thing of booze. Hulk gave a small laugh and turned back into Bruce.

"They helped save the world?" He said incredulously as Jade and Tony both began arguing over a bottle of rum they'd found.

"I know." Clint said as Thor walked back over to the bar area. The others relaxed for a second, then collectively sweatdropped as Thor joined in the struggle over the bottle of rum.

"That must be really good stuff." Steve said, walking over. Clint frowned, then stood up.

"He's right, I'm sure Tony's got the best alcohol money can buy." He said to Natasha walking over to join in the 'struggle'.

"Well, at least we're not a time bomb anymore." Bruce said, sighing. Natasha looked at Loki and smirked.

"That's right, you just lost to the people arguing over a bottle of rum." She said. Loki sighed and looked away. A minute, the quinjet landed on the balcony of the tower, and Jade let go of the bottle, ducking behind Thor.

"Tori's not with them, is she?" She asked nervously.

"Nah, you're good." Clint said, looking the agents over. "You're going to have to face her sometime though."

"I will." Jade told him, standing back up and grabbing the bottle of rum from Steve. "I need to buy something first though."

Ten minutes later

"Where are you going?" Tony asked as Jade walked away from the shawarma joint and into a corner store.

"I need to get something." She told him, walking into the store. She came back a minute later, shoving a brightly wrapped thing into her pocket. "Watermelon Ring Pop." She said in response to his confused look.

"Why?"

"Don't worry about it." She told him, walking into the restaurant.
