"I miss Bucky." Steve said miserably. Everyone rolled their eyes. Steve hadn't stopped talking about Bucky since he had gotten dragged away two hours ago. Now the six roommates were eating burgers at a dodgy-looking cafe that Clint had assured them was great.

"How about we play a game? Who can not talk about Bucky for the longest?" Tony suggested. Steve glared at him.

"You never stop talking about Pepper though. Thor doesn't stop talking about Jane. Bruce is always with Keira. Clint and Natasha...uh...Natasha is always with the girls and Clint is always off either flirting and annoying people." Steve complained. "Promise me that tonight will just be us roommates."

They all looked at each other. "I was going to go to Wolverine's party..." Natasha said.

"Let's have a roommate night, Natasha." Clint jumped in quickly. "Although I'd love to have a rematch with that Kayla."

"No." Steve said enthusiastically. "We are all going to go out and visit the zoo. I made Tony hack into the zoo's security and book us all a party there for free. Just us six."

"Is that what that was for?"

"And Loki? Can he come?" Thor asked.

"If Loki's coming then I'm inviting Kayla." Clint said.

"What about Aryn? She's cool." Bruce said.

"Then we'll have to invite Wolverine." Natasha said.

"Hey, why are we leaving Hank out?" Tony objected.

Steve stared at them all. "This is a zoo visit for us six roommates. Not the whole mutant population and a trickster god. Okay? So shut up and tell your friends that you won't be able to go to your silly little parties tonight!"

They all looked at each other, hiding a smile.

"Sorry, Cap." Tony said. He had explained the superhero names to everyone.

"It's fine." Steve said. "But do text people so they don't feel left out."

Tony: hank, can't do that experiment on your feet at wolf's party tonight! Got some lame zoo thing Steve is making us do. Sorry.

Bruce: Aryn, please tell Logan I can't go to his party. And keep Keira entertained please with stories about Mystique.

Natasha: wolverine. Can't come to party.

Clint: rematch TOMORROW. You, me, a box of beer. Get ready for the race. Kayla vs Clint

"I'll call Loki." Thor said. "I can't work texting." He called his brother. "Hello. I can't be with you tonight. What? Loki stop sounding so cheerful. I know. It's sad isn't it? I hope we can be together tomorrow. No? You have a girlfriend? Since when? Oh. It's a joke. Goodbye, brother. Goodbye. I saiid goodbye. Oh never mind."

He hung up. "He said it's very sad that he can't be there tonight."

"Sure." Tony smirked. "Off to the zoo!"

Only a short chapter today and I'll update next week with a longer zoo chapter. Please review any things you want to happen and I will mention you in the next chapter if I use them.
