" and that's for saving me, "
unsuccessfully revenge
jealousy?
"I just love this place," Jessica giggled, wrapping her around Tony's. The pair had headed towards Delmar's Deli & Grill. It was a home owned restaurant with basic barbecue type food.
"It seems nice," Tony shrugged as they entered.
And if things couldn't get any worse, the only too familiar voice spoke to them. "Tony?"
'Fvck, Stephen?' Tony's mind almost short-circuited. "Um, hi?"
"Oh! It's Stephen!" Jessica smiled. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
Stephen shrugged and gestured to his name badge. "I work here. Let me show you to a table," he led the two to empty seats. He glanced at Tony who had gotten silent.
"This is such a surprise! Did you know he worked here, Tony?" Jessica asked.
"No," he muttered.
"What do you two want to order?" Stephen asked, passing them a menu.
"We'll think about it," Jessica smiled, picking up the menu. Stephen gave one last glance at Tony before leaving. Once he disappeared behind the counter, Jessica began to talk again. "I say, I think I'll try the fish hamburger. What about you?"
Tony hadn't even picked up the menu. "Um, I'll have the fish and chips," he shrugged.
"Okay, I'll call Stephen back over," she grinned.
Tony sighed and stared out the window beside them. Just his luck Stephen was going to be there. He heard Jessica call him over and tell him their orders. He only turned his head to face Jessica when he knew Stephen had left.
"So," Jessica began. "Do you have any siblings?"
Tony frowned but answered. "Um, no,"
She continued to talk. "Well I do, a sister. She actually goes to our school too!"
"That's nice," Tony forced a smile. This wasn't working. He was supposed to have his mind off Stephen but Stephen was there and that wasn't really helping.
Jessica continued to talk while he tried to listen. "Her name's Liza and she's a year older than me but we get along so well. Did you know she has a boyfriend?"
"Nope," Tony said, poking the napkin.
Jessica stared at him. "Do you remember her?"
Tony looked up at her. "I don't remember your sister whom I've never met,"
He swore she was glaring at him. "Do you not remember taking her out and then making out with Violet Weather half an hour later?" she basically growled.
Tony blinked as he racked his memory for a 'Liza' and 'Violet'. "Um, about what time was this?" he asked, regretting it about three seconds later.
"You don't even remember when you humiliated my sister!?" Jessica exclaimed. "Last year during your stupid Christmas Party!"
Tony suddenly remembered. "Yeah, but I took her to my party after the date-"
"That's not an excuse!" her face had gotten red. "You are nothing but a playboy who has every girl on his tail and isn't afraid to go through them like used-like used CUPS," Jessica had caught the attention of the other customers.
Tony swallowed. "I know it's not. I was different back then-"
"And you're different now? Have you opened up your options to GUYS now two? Now you can be twice the sl*t as you before," she spat.
Tony was taken aback but stayed calm. "I apologise, I can talk to Liza tomorrow if you want-"
Jessica banged her fist on the table as she stood up. "I can't believe I was ever jealous of my sister when you asked her out," she grabbed a butter knife from the table and waved it at him.
He stood up and held up his hands. "Look, this isn't a good idea. Calm down a bit-"
"Did you calm down when you were kissing Violet Weather?!" Liza emphasized.
Tony sighed. "I'm sorry three-thousand times,"
"That's not enough!" she exclaimed. Both of them glanced to the side as Stephen and another employee had come out to settle the commotion. "She was the topic of the school for a whole month!"
"Okay, please lower the knife," Stephen stepped forward, attempting to calm her down.
She shoved the knife onto the table, causing it to make a loud noise when it fell onto the floor. "You too, Strange," she hissed, opening her messenger bag.
"What do you want me to do? Go to school in my pyjamas or something?" Tony asked, getting rather tired.
"No, I want you to suffer," she snapped.
"This date is obviously not going as intended so how about I just leave?" Tony shrugged, trying to walk out of the seat.
"Stop it," she caused a bunch of gasps as she took out a real sharp knife.
Tony froze and edged back into his seat. "Alright, I guess so. What are you going to do? Stab me?"
She shook her head but before she could answer Stephen began to talk. "Jessica is it? This isn't worth it to lose your place at SHIELD, he isn't worth it to get into serious trouble."
"Jeez, thanks," Tony rolled his eyes.
Jessica faltered and turned to Stephen. "Like you know what I feel like,"
Stephen lowered his hands. "I don't. But put down the knife and we can talk about this,"
"No! He needs to suffer-"
"Does your sister even know about this?" Tony asked.
Jessica shook her head again. "No. She did despise you for a while,"
"Then why are you doing this? For revenge?" Tony frowned.
"No! You ruined everything when you ditched my sister! You have no idea what happens to all the people you affect with your dating," she snarled, waving the knife dangerously close to his face.
"Look, I'm sure your revenge doesn't need to involve a knife or blood," Tony made a pleading face. "I'm quite tired right now so maybe we can deal with this tomorrow,"
"No! Shut up,"
Stephen sighed. "Put down the knife or else we'll have to restrain you,"
"And what? All you Specialized think you're so special-" but she was cut off when Stephen stepped forward and grabbed the knife's handle, twisting it out of her hand in one maneuver. She shut up and turned very red. "You all are very arrogant,"
"You forgot smart," Stephen called after her as she stormed out of the restaurant/
"Everyone, go back to your meals," Stephen's co-worker assured the other customers.
Stephen slipped into Jessica's spot. "You can't seem to stay out of trouble, huh?"
Tony nodded slowly. "Yeah, I guess,"
Stephen glanced down at the table. "You don't mind me asking, were you guys on a date?"
Tony smirked. "Jealous?"
Stephen looked up at him, "I could say so," he answered without hesitation. "I mean, we aren't dating or anything, but her? Have you not heard her comments about the Specialized in class? She thinks we are all bigoted. You could've at least chosen someone nicer,"
Tony frowned, slightly amused. "I only accept because I needed a distraction," he said, finding himself being honest.
Stephen raised his eyebrow. "A distraction? What, from me?"
"Yeah,"
"Oh," Stephen blinked and found himself smiling. "Why?"
Tony leaned back on his seat. "I don't know. Everything is weird, you know?"
Stephen made a face at him. "Weird how?"
"I don't know," Tony scrunched up his nose. "It just is,"
"Very helpful. Well, if you don't need me to save you from crazy sisters of your ex's anymore, I'll be off to do my job," Stephen stood up.
Tony quickly got up to and faced Stephen. "Um, yeah. You probably should," he swallowed and took out a wad of cash before placing it onto the table beside them. "That's for our attractive waiter," then Tony tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss on his lips. "And that's for saving me,"
Stephen basically gaped as Tony left the restaurant and stared at the $50 note he had placed on the table.
"Now that your boyfriend's gone help me with this," Stephen's co-worker shoved a tray onto Stephen's hands and walked off to get some cups.
...SCENECHANGE...
Clint bit the tip of his ice-cream off. "I swear Westwood is cheating,"
"Of course they are," Natasha scowled, licking her ice-cream. She was wearing her cheerleading outfit. The two were sitting on the bleachers of the football field. It was just after the football practice and Westwood had come unofficially. The session ended with a very intense game despite the coaches strict order to not play with Westwood.
Of course, their competitive side took over and a lot of blood ended up on that field. Steve, Thor, Carol and Val were at the bottom of the bleachers talking.
"I'm just so tired of them," Clint groaned, glad that Westwood had already left.
"Than just generally sucks too," Natasha sighed. "He's here for the Exchange and he was here before too because of that collaboration SHIELD did with them, remember?"
"I know," Clint shoved the rest of his ice-cream into his mouth before frowning.
Natasha shrugged and faced him. "Anyways, thanks for coming to watch our practise," she nudged her friend when he didn't answer. "Hey, Clint? What's up?"
He seemed fazed. "Nothing...I just realised something,"
"What?" Natasha frowned.
Clint shook his head. "I might just be annoyed at Westwood but, they were here before, right?"
"Yeah, we just said that," Natasha said, confused.
Clint turned to her. "Well, they all have access cards now, as do the other exchange students. But they had access cards before too since they were here! They could've easily have given their cards to the shooters,"
Natasha stared at him. "You're on to something. But that's still another whole entire year level,"
"Yeah, but what about Than?"
"That is a long shot, Clint. Just because he's a bully doesn't mean he would allow people to break into SHIELD. We just have options, they could still easily be from SHIELD," Natasha said, being real for a moment.
"I know," Clint sighed. "What should our plan be? I mean, we have no one to start spying on, may as well start with Than, than we can cross him out, right?"
Natasha continued to eat her ice-cream. "I guess. I'll organize a meeting with the team tonight to meet tomorrow,"
They fell silent as the others came up and sat down around them.
"That game was really exciting!" Carol exclaimed. "There was a lot more blood than out games,"
"That Jason guy had it coming," Thor hummed, taking a sip from his water bottle.
Val had put herself in between Nat and Carol. "A hundred per cent,"
"You are good at football," Carol complimented Steve. "As well with you Thor. How long have you guys been playing?"
"Since I came to SHIELD," Steve said.
"Since I was a child," Thor said proudly.
"Wow, that's cool. I began a few years ago too," Carol smiled.
Val leaned on her arm. "So Carol," she huffed. "Are you guys popular at Xander?"
Carol looked surprised by the question. "I guess? I hang out a bit with Peter (Q.) and Rocket. Peter has this helpless crush on Gamora- whoops, I wasn't supposed to say that,"
"It's bluntly obvious," Natasha waved off.
"Oh, I guess so, huh?" Carol smiled again. "Well Peter is so hopeless, he hangs out with her and Gamora is very popular. Her sister, not so much. But they stick together, so,"
"That's interesting," Steve nodded.
"You guys seemed rather popular too," Carol mentioned.
"We are," Clint grinned. "With Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, the two most popular guys at school on our group,"
"And with Clint Barton as the biggest trouble maker," Steve added.
"And don't forget, Natasha, the most bad-ass in the school," Steve reminded.
"You've got quite a group," Carol said, impressed.
"I know right," Val grinned. "You guys are so much better than Westwood's popular, which consist of gross bullies,"
"Our bullies aren't that great either," Thor scowled.
"Yeah, they used to be so much worse before the Avengers rose up to fight for justice," Clint said.
"Avengers?" Carol frowned.
"Yeah, it used to be the name of our group and school club. We used to stop the schemes of Hydra, which are the bullies name," Steve explained.
"Why don't you guys do that anymore?"
"We do," Natasha confirmed. "Except not officially since we got shut down by Fury because of this big quarrel,"
"Oh, well we have something like that too!" Carol exclaimed. "Except we're called the Guardians and we unofficially stop the bullies at our school. Since it's unofficial we get in trouble a lot for punching them," she shrugged.
"That's cool, we have a lot in common then," Clint laughed. "Maybe we can join up one day and it'd be like a cool tv show crossover of something. Hydra won't have a chance,"
