Jane's POV
I hug Thor on the roof as the chopper prepares for lift off.
"I will be back." He whispers into my ear.
"I know, it's still scary." I tell him as I slowly slip a bit away from him.
"-And here we see the bittersweet goodbye between Thor and his lover Jane as she says one last goodbye before he's sent off into battle." I hear a voice behind us.
I turn around and see one of the documentary guys. I roll my eyes and turn to Thor,
"I love you." I say.
"I love you as well Jane. I will be in contact shortly." He says before leaning down and kissing me. I kiss him back until I hear Tony yell,
"-Hey loverboy get your blonde ass into this chopper!" Out of the doors.
Thor smiles and we hug one last time before he walks over to the doors.
"Where is the Captain?" I hear him ask loudly just as the door to the roof slams open.
"Steve?" I ask-he did not look good, his jaw was set and his eyes had something that I don't think I've seen him before.
"Evening Dr. Foster." Steve says politely as he passes me
"Where's Darcy, if you're back why isn't she?" I ask, Steve and Darcy had left together and I assumed that she would arrive back with him.
"She's not back?" Steve asks stopping and turning around.
"No and her phone's turned off." I say holding up my cellphone.
"It's 2 in the morning, I got back at 4 this afternoon." Steve says and I could hear the panic in his voice-something I was feeling.
"Look I bet she's just out clubbing with some friends or she picked up a shift at a place she used to have a second job at. I'll try her cell again and get back to you okay?" I say and he nods and opens his mouth to say something but Tony's voice cuts through the air.
"CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA GET YOUR STAR SPANGLED ASS INTO THIS CHOPPER RIGHT NOW, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET JAPAN BURN TO THE GROUND BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING GIRL PROBLEMS!"
"Good Evening Jane." He says nodding before heading back to the chopper again.
I turn around and the guy with the camera is still there.
"So can I get a few words on what it's like to go through this when we get back inside?" He asks. "I would wait until morning but then the emotions would've faded." He said.
"Yeah, let's go to the living area." I say "But then I'm going right back to bed-it's 2 in the morning and my first day actually being able to sleep in weeks, or it was."
"Great follow me." He says and I follow him.
I get out my phone again and check my messages, no texts from Darcy. Where on Earth could that girl be? I think to myself as I go to make some tea to help me relax.

Steve's POV
I sit on the helicopter, and stare at the wall. My jaw set and my eyes not moving, just act like nothing's wrong and they won't notice.
"Hey Cap, what's got your panties in a twist?" I hear Tony ask as he sits next to me.
"I'm not in the mood Tony." I mumble.
"Well excuse me for trying to make things-" He begins but I cut him off.
"Look I'm sorry for blowing up at you I didn't mean to loose my temper but I don't appreciate it when people try to nose their way into my personal life. It's hard enough coming to terms with my feelings for Darcy without a third party getting involved." I snap.
"That's not why I'm asking you what's wrong." Tony says.
I look at him and say,
"Nothing's wrong."
"Bullshit-you're shoulders are hunched, you haven't said a word to anybody and you were fifty words away just now." Tony says.
"It's nothing Tony." I say shifting in my seat.
"Does it have anything to do with the fact why my daughter still hasn't come home?" Tony asks.
"Possibly, I don't know! Why should I tell you?" I ask him.
"Well A if it could lead me to anywhere I could send JARVIS's servers to hack into I could find her and B we're about to go and fight an alien invasion in Japan-if you're not okay we're going to lose." Tony begins and I sigh before saying.
"We ran into Loki at the homeless shelter today-"
"Loki is in a homeless shelter?" Thor asks perking up.
"Not now big guy, I'll tell you later." I say and Thor nods before going back to his phone-obviously texting Jane.
"You ran into Loki?" Tony asks his face darkening.
"Yes, they were talking when I came up and they were making plans to see each other again and catch up on what had happened. So when I confronted her about it she got all defensive and told me 'he might be the only one who could fix me' so I told her to let me try and when she asked why I told her how I felt." I said.
"And how do you feel?" Tony asks.
I shift my weight and run my hands over my face,
"I'm falling in love with her, I know we're just friends and she's fine with that, but I'm not. At first it was just that I thought she was pretty and something about her personality made me attracted to her. So we began talking and became friends, which was great because she's helped me understand this world so much better. But lately, I've begun to feel more than friendly feelings towards her. Whenever men in public ask for her contact information, I get jealous and after we-you know-"
"Steve, you can just say after you two have sex-it's only slightly weird." Tony says.
"Yeah that, I don't feel like it was just something we did for fun 'no strings attached'. I genuinely care for her. I might even love her and if I don't right now I will soon." I say.
It's weird and silent for a moment before Tony puts a hand on my shoulder,
"Darcy takes after her mother physically but if she's my daughter like we all know she is. She'll eventually come to terms with her feelings for you because I know my kid- she doesn't casually sleep with just anybody. She cares for you, but might not know it because of all the drama she has right now with her previous relationship-in other words she never closed one door to her life, so when another door opens she feels no need to go through the new door because the old door still isn't closed." Tony said.
I sit there thinking about it for a moment,
"I never thought about that." I said.
"Exactly, now chew on that thought until we get to Japan in about an hour and then put it out of your brain, okay? We've got some alien ass to kick." Tony says clapping my back. I smile and then say,
"Thank you, for listening and giving me insight. Darcy's lucky to have a father like you."
"Your welcome, and thank you-my father was a terrible father so I do everything I can not to be like him." Tony says.
"I knew your father, he made me into this. And if it means anything, you two are nothing alike really, except for the intelligence thing." I say.
"Thank you, and it does mean something." Tony says smiling and I smile back before he goes back across the chopper to where everybody else was.
I look forward again and think. Did I really just have a heart-to-heart with Tony Stark? I pinch myself and shake my head. Yeah, I did. When we get back I'm going to apologize to Darcy for being so forward and try to help her find closure with Loki. Not for my sake-but for hers.
