A new start Chapter 10, an avengers fanfic

A/N Hey! I didn't get any reviews the last two chapter. Is anyone reading this, or do I post chapters for no one?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything Marvel does.

Chapter ten.

Rose silently joins the rest of the avengers at the table. Her hair in a messy bun, and in the electric blue color Tony painted it in. A few strands are loose and hang in front of her eyes. Said eyes are shooting daggers at a certain billionaire.

"Listen, Rose. I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have painted your hair. I went too far. And I didn't think it would turn out this good." Tony says after a while. Rose doesn't respond, except narrowing her eyes at him.
There's an awkward and tense silence when Steve enters the room with a large pan in his hands.

"Who wants some… Pasta." He weakly ends when he sees the two of them glaring at each other. "What's going on?" He asks them.

"I don't know ask her." Tony says. "I said I'm sorry, which is very rare for me to say, but she keeps glaring and not saying anything."

"I'm not responding to it, because I don't want to kill you." Rose says addressing anyone but Tony. "If I would speak directly to him, I would lose my temper and send him flying across the room."

"Well that's a nice thing for you to do." Tony sarcastically says.

"Tony I don't think this is the best moment for you to use sarcasm." Bruce gently says.

"Are you stupid?" Rose suddenly asks Tony.

"Nope, genius." He responds with a grin.

"Then why did you think that of you dye white hair, it wouldn't turn as blue as it is now?" She says.

"She does have a point there." Loki chimes in.

"Oh stay out of this Romeo." Tony says to the god, who just smirks in response. Rose sighs and gets up.

"Is there a map, or some blueprints of the building Doom is hiding in?" She asks no one in particular. "I need to think of a plan to get in and out unnoticed."

"Uhm yeah, I think there's one in the conference room." Bruce says. Rose nods, gets a plate and puts some food on it. She excuses herself and leaves the room.

"Way to go Stark." Clint mutters when she's around the corner.

"What? I apologized. What am I supposed to do?" He defends himself.

"Nothing, she'll come around. I think it's just everything combined. Remember when Pepper wouldn't let you in your own lab? You where on edge the entire time. Unreasonable and a bit moody. She can't fly, and now there's you who is annoying her." Natasha says. "And if she doesn't I'll talk some sense into her."

-In the conference room-

"No, that won't work… how about here. Never mind. Maybe. No. Yes, wait, nope." Rose is muttering under her breath. She puts the, now empty, plate back on the table and flips the hologram in front of her.

"Well what of… No that can't work." She highlights all the entrances and exits. Staring at the image before her.

"Jarvis, is there any chance you have the patterns of the guards?" Rose asks the AI.

"I can calculate them, and have the results in an hour Miss Coulisses." Jarvis responds in his british voice.

"Thank you Jarvis." Rose says before turning her attention back to the hologram in front of her. Get two people in, bring Doom back. Easy enough. Right? Then why is this so damn hard?

"Maybe if… No then I would have to fly. And I can't… yet." She mutters again. "Wait, maybe… Yes that could work… No it'll do something entirely different… We would be screwed." She hears a faint chuckle behind her. She spins around to see Loki leaning against the doorpost.

"Who are you talking to?" He asks her.
"The voices in my head." Rose says sarcastically. "I always talk to myself when I can't figure something out."

"What can't you figure out then?" Loki asks while he walks to stand beside her. Rose sighs and points at the hologram.

"The blue marked spots are windows, the green ones are doors. Jarvis will have the patterns of the guards in an hour or so. Now all I have to do, is get in with Natasha, grab Doom, and get out without getting killed. I can't fly, so that's not an option, unless I master a healing spell I found in one of your old dusty books. But there's no way that will work.

We can teleport inside, but there will be no way to see if the room is empty, or that I have the strength to teleport twice, with two others hanging on. Then there's the problem on how to get Victor with us. We could just knock him out, but then we'd have to drag a body with us.

I can't seem to think straight now, and I can't think of a single plan that isn't doomed to fail." She paused, then bursts out in laughter.

"I did not intend that stupid pun." She says. "I need to get my mind off of everything."

"I am happy to help you with that." Loki smirks. "What do you want to do?"

"I think I want to let off some steam." Rose says with a grin. "And I know just how to do that."

Twack. A dagger finds it's target in the training room. That happens to be a dummy with a goatee drawn on it.

Twack. Another dagger joins the first one. Only a few inches away from the center.

"This is letting off some steam?" Loki asks. Rose nods and throws another dagger.

"You should try it." Twack. "It's fun." She says. Loki grins and conures a dagger for himself.

Twack. Twack. Two daggers hit a new target, also with the same goatee.

"You're right. It is fun to do." Loki says.

"Well I'm out of daggers. Don't throw any when I retrieve mine." Rose says. She walks forwards and gets to the first dummy. Loki grins and conjures a second dagger. He's accurate enough, and If he aims right, no harm will come.

He aims and throws. Two seconds later, the dagger hits the dummy's head with another loud twack. A few centimeters away from Rose's head.

"LOKI!" She shouts. Rose turns around and sees him laughing at her. He doesn't see the coy smirk on her face, and he doesn't see her vanish into the shadows. Using her magic she transformed into her fighting clothes. Silently she creeps around him and waits.

"Rose, I'm sorry. I just had to." Loki says when he notices she's gone. "Come on, where are you? It was nothing more than a small joke." Rose grins in the shadows, but doesn't come out. Loki turns around and looks into the shadows. Searching for Rose. He narrows his eyes and takes a few steps forward.

That's all Rose needs. She jumps out of the shadows, lands in front of Loki and tackles him to the ground. When he's down, she jumps up and grins at him.

"Sweet. Sweet revenge." She muses. Loki laughs and gets up.

"Not yet, darling." He says before vanishing aswell. Rose blushed at the last word, but pushes that down the second she notices it.

"Cheater." Rose muttered before walking to the middle of the room. "Okay, No magic? I can't fly, so that's only fair, right?"

"Fine. I can't use magic, you can't use magic. We both choose one weapon each. First one to get the other to surrender wins." Loki's voice says. Rose nods and calls upon her scynte.

Loki steps out in front of her with a long sleek sword in his hands. They both get into a basic fighting stance in front of each other.

"I never knew you could use one of those." Rose tells him.

"I was raised and trained in Asgard. I can fight with a sword, they didn't care if I would like it or not." Loki says. Rose nods and swings her scynte forwards. Nearly beheading Loki. If he didn't duck, he wouldn't have a head.

"Careful there, you don't want to kill me." Loki mocks. He jumps back up and tries an uppercut. Grabbing her scynte with both hands she raises it above her head to stop the blow.

"Rely on your tricks now, magic man. I don't think you're used to fighting without magic." Rose taunts. To prove it, she shoves him back and points her scynte at him. The blade only inches away from his throat.

Loki grins and grabs the staff of her scynte with his free hand. He pulls the weapon down, effectively pulling Rose with it. She stumbles and drops her weapon. Loki tosses it aside and raises his own sword.

"And now what? Rely on your scynte, angel. I don't think you're used to fighting without it." He mocks at her.

"On the contrary. I am used to fighting without it." She sneaks forward, and grabs Loki's wrist. She pulls him forward and at the same time twists his arm behind him. With her other arm, she gets a hold on his sword and takes it. Rose lets Loki go, and shoves him forward.

"Now you don't have magic, and no sword." She says to him.

"Well neither do you." Loki says. The sword vanishes, as if it was an illusion.

"Cheater." Rose says.

"I didn't do that. It might have been an enchanted blade to begin with. With a spell on it, to disappear when it's user isn't holding it." He explains with a smirk. Rose's smile falls and she narrows her eyes.

Without another word she lunges forward to throw a punch at his face. Loki takes a step back and catches her fist. He catches the other one too, when she sends her left hand flying at him.

Rose thinks for a while, then smiles. Her eyes light up and Loki looks at her with a questioning look. She pulls both her hands down, and kicked him down. What she didn't expect is Loki dragging her with him. She lands on him, their faces a few inches apart.

"We have got to stop ending up like this." She nearly whispers.

"Or not." Loki says before he closes the gap between them. It starts as a slow and sweet kiss, but soon develops into a heated and passionate one. Loki let's go of her hands and cups Rose's face. She put her, now free, hands on his chest. They move up to sit, and then stand, never breaking apart. Her hands move up around his neck. Loki's hands move to her sides.

"Ahem, am I interrupting something?" Clint says from behind them. They both jump apart, and Rose blushes.

"It was about damn time." He says laughing at the two. He puts his quiver next to him and sits down on a bench. "This means I win the pot."

"You made a bet on if we would kiss?" Loki asks the archer.

"Oh no, no, no we bet on When you two would kiss. I bet before the end of this week, together with Nat. Darcy bet you'd kiss at the new years party. And Tony said you two would kiss a week ago." Clint explains. "Who used my Tony dummies?"

"We did, and I think I'll get back to figuring out plans." Rose says before running away.

"Rose wait!" Loki shouts after her, but she's already gone.

"If I where you, I'd run." Clint tells Loki. Loki glares at the archer before doing what he said.

"Jarvis? Tell the others that Nat and I just won the bet." Clint says.

"Right away sir." Jarvis responds.

-In the living room-

"Sir, Agent Barton wanted me to inform agent Romanov and he won the bet." Jarvis says to the people in the room.

"Wait what bet?" Tony says, looking up from his tablet. Jarvis is about to answer when Tony's face lights up. "Oh that bet!"

This is the exact time Rose decides to enter the room, to find something to drink. She gets a bottle of water, but turns around when the room falls silent. She turns around and faces the others in the room.

Steve, Darcy, Pepper, Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Thor and Jane stare back at her. Slowly Rose opens the bottle and takes a sip.

"Okay, that's it, why are you staring at me?" She eventually says. At this moment Loki comes running inside. Damn, everyone here has terrible timing.

"Rose! Why did you…" Loki falls silent when he notices the others in the room. "Never mind."

"No, Romeo, finish the question." Darcy says with a smug face.

"Answer mine first." Rose says.

"Okay." Tony says. "Jarvis, pull up the video feed from about ten, fifteen minutes ago in the gym and play it."

Loki and Rose stand across each other, Loki's sword above her head, and Rose's scynte aswell, to block the sword.

"And now what? Rely on your scynte, angel. I don't think you're used to fighting without it." He mocks at her.

"Now you don't have magic, and no sword." She says to him.

"Well neither do you." Loki says. The sword vanishes, as if it was an illusion.

"Cheater." Rose says.

Without another word she lunges forward to throw a punch at his face. Loki takes a step back and catches her fist. He catches the other one too, when she sends her left hand flying at him.

"Or not." Loki says before he closes the gap between them. It starts as a slow and sweet kiss, but soon develops into a heathed and passionate one. Loki let's go of her hands and cups Rose's face. She put her, now free, hands on his chest. They move up to sit, and then stand, never breaking apart. Her hands move up around his neck. Loki's hands move to her sides.

"Ahem, am I interrupting something?" Clint says from behind them. They both jump apart.

The video stops and both Loki and Rose are blushing. Thor is glowing like a little boy on christmas eve. Jane has a soft smile on her face. Tony is grinning at the two. Pepper and Bruce look as if they're apologizing for Tony. Darcy and Natasha are grinning aswell and Steve just looks awkward.

"And that's why we where staring at you." Tony states the obvious.

"Nice job, songbirdie." Darcy says, using Tony's nickname for Rose. "I bet you two would kiss in three days. But this is even better."

"I think I've got to… Go. I have somewhere to… Something to think on, of, I mean of. I have to make up a plan for…things... Bye." Rose says awkwardly before leaving the room, dragging Loki along with her.

"Pay up Stark." Natasha says with a grin, after they're gone. Tony sighs and glares at them.

-Conference room, again yes-

"Miss Coulisses. I have the patterns just as you asked. They're the red moving figures." Jarvis says as soon as Loki and Rose enter the conference room.

"Thank you Jarvis." Rose says before leaning against the table. "Loki, I'm sorry I ran earlier. I didn't mean to-" She was cut off by Loki kissing her again. Rose closes her eyes and leans into the kiss. When they break apart Rose puts her hands around her neck.

"Run." She finishes. "I've sort of never been kissed before." This takes Loki by surprise.

"You haven't?" He asks. Rose shakes her head.

"I left home when I was 15, and most guys where affraid of me after that." She explains.

"Then those guys where idiots." Loki says. "They did not recognize true beauty when they saw it." Rose laughs and kisses him on the cheek.

"You're too good to be true Loki." She mutters, before turning around to focus on her plan again. The red figures move across the image, and Rose looks in deep thought. Staring at the image before her. Silently Loki excuses himself and leaves the room. Returning to where the others are. Mentally preparing himself for what is coming.

"There has to be a way." Rose mutters to herself. "There has to be a mistake somewhere. There has to be a way in and out. Javis. Highlight the vents please." The vents light up in a purple color and Rose stares at it. One of the vents go from the roof to directly above Victor Von Doom's bedroom. There are two guards at every door. But only on the outside. One of the windows is directly above a canal that surrounds the castle. Can it be any more clishé villian liar? Now how can she use this to her advantage?

"That's it!" Rose snaps her fingers and runs after Loki. Forming a plan while she runs.
