I'm so sorry this is so delayed. I've been lacking motivation and inspiration to write these past weeks. Also, midterms are this week so it's super cramped for me and I've been really busy with horse stuff. I'm posting another story that may or may not be continued. It's mainly weird LOTR drabble, but you should check it out. Also, I didn't get a huge response to chapter 13, so yeah.


Chapter Fourteen:

"I feel sorry for any bastard that's slept with Moonstone." Clint said to Natasha. He was playing a shooting game that proved his abilities translated to video games easily while Natasha lounged on the couch next to him, watching in amusement of american entertainment.

"I feel sorry for any idiot that's slept with you." she said with a small smirk. She got a threatening look for that but it wasn't like that made her shake in her boots.

"Very funny." he said before Pepper walked in with Tony in tow.

"Ok, the wedding is only two weeks away guys. You have outfits and everything picked out?" Pepper asked, looking down at her tablet and checking things off.

"Nope." Clint said with a smile. Natasha rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Yes. Don't worry I took care of him." Natasha said with an irritated voice while Clint beamed at her. Pepper simply kept checking off things. Darcy walked into the room quietly and groaned.

"I'm starving, are we not eating tonight?!" she asked.

"I swear, you eat more than Steve and Thor combined." Tony said with amusement. Darcy threw a pillow at him. They had an odd relationship. Neither tolerated any bullshit, including each other, yet that was what made them get along so well. Tony felt responsible and protective over her after what had happened and Darcy appreciated it.

"Shit!" Pepper yelled, putting a hand to her head. "I forgot to order dinner. Damn it, you are going to drive me insane with this marriage." she yelled, gesturing towards Tony with her tablet before walking off briskly trying to organize her thoughts.

"Wow, I didn't think I'd ever live to see the day Pepper went crazy." Darcy said, looking at Tony. Clint chuckled and she even got a smirk out of Natasha, yet Tony didn't find it amusing.

"She's not crazy she's just in shock of how she'll be married to me in two weeks." Tony said. "I'm pretty sure you would be the same if you were marrying Grandpa."

Darcy cringed. Did they all know? Steve and her didn't put a label to anything, they hadn't even discussed what they were going to do. Her heart fluttered at the thought of even going to the wedding with Steve. Before she could answer him with a witty retort though, the group heard a crack of lightning in the sky.

"Wonder who that could be." Clint said with a smirk. Natasha rolled her eyes at his immaturity and started towards the roof with the rest of them in tow.

When they got up to the roof they were pulled into a massive bear hug by Thor. Darcy was sure she couldn't breath. It was good to have the god back though. And Jane. Well, Jane was going to go crazy once Darcy told her what had happened.

"My friends! How dearly I have missed you!" Thor boomed, gripping them tighter.

Steve came out then, looking fresh from the gym. "Good to have you back, Thor." he said with a smile. "How was Asgard?"

"Amazing!" Jane answered for him. "Like nothing on this planet, literally! Oh god, I can't even begin to explain it!" Thor smiled at how happy he had made Jane.

Tony rolled his eyes and cleared his throat. "Not like I'm ever in a rush to go hang out with Fury, but there's some things we need to discuss with our favorite blonde bombshell."


Once they were all seated at the round table in Tony's meeting room and discussed what had happened, Jane went into a deep silence. The thought of being kidnapped terrified her. She didn't know how Darcy managed to stay calm.

"So Moonstone means to get to another realm?" Thor asked, confused by the sudden bombardment of intel.

"Yes, that's what she told Darcy. It seems as if she wants to get rid of us first, so there's nothing standing in her way once she does get what she wants." Bruce said, running through files on the computer screen. Since Moonstone could easily manipulate Bruce, Fury had put him in charge of the scientific matters at hand on the mission. Bruce had never been so frustrated in researching. It made the Other Guy want to snap Moonstone's neck like a twig.

"Which is why we have to lock the women away in a tower." Tony said bitterly. "No one gets in or out." Natasha glared at him. "Except Natasha."

"If my mind gets screwed with again, I quit." Clint said. Natasha gave him a look and his body softened.

"Don't you see what she's trying to do? You all can't let her effect you like this." Natasha said, exasperated at how easily her team lost sight of goals because of their feelings.

"I don't think Pepper should get kidnapped again until she's my wife." Tony remarked.

"Can you take something seriously for one minute?" Steve said, irritated.

"Don't get your panties in a twist, Cap." Tony said which earned a glare from Steve.

"I want this woman captured now!" Thor boomed. He didn't know what stupid thing he would've done if she had taken Jane, but he didn't want to find out.

The whole table erupted in argument and Darcy shrank down in her seat, feeling slightly uncomfortable that she was partly responsible for this. She shook her head, thinking no, it's not my fault. She watched all of the Avengers bickering and wondered how they were ever going to get Moonstone if they couldn't work together. This is exactly what she wants Darcy thought. It was her job to make sure they settled these disputes.
