CHAPTER ONE

After the events of Loki's attack on New York, the Avengers went off to their own places.

But S.H.I.E.L.D kept on calling them in for missions that could not be done by normals agents.

Tony Stark finally decided it was ridiculous to keep going away, then be called back in over and over again.

So he brought an idea to the table...

The Avengers came back, exhausted, from taking down a terrorist base.

They collapsed around a table in the main living quarters of Stark Tower.

They sat, not speaking. Tony broke the silence.

"How would you feel about moving into the tower?" He asked, straight to the point.

The Avengers forgot their tiredness, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"I can't live in the tower!" Bruce exclaimed. "I'm a safety hazard!"

Natasha snorted. "It's pretty calm here compared to that pit you were living in before."

"What do you think, Spangles?" Tony asked.

Steve considered it.

"It would make it easier to go into missions." He said thoughtfully. "It's actually a pretty good idea."

"I agree with Rogers." Thor put in.

Clint and Natasha also agreed, though Clint would need the transport to be able to visit his family.

Bruce hesitantly agreed after that, but made it clear that if anything happened, he was gone.

This was two years ago.

The Avengers had grown very close in that time. They would without hesitation sacrifice their lives to keep the others safe. They were family in all but blood.

Thor mostly switched off between living at the tower, and visiting Asgard.

He had already been on Earth for three weeks, and announced at that mornings breakfast that he had to go back to Asgard.

"That's too bad." Natasha said, sipping her coffee.

"Yeah, it's nice having you around." Clint agreed

Thor beamed at them.

"I am disappointed too, though I still must take my leave."

"Whats happening?" Tony asked, coming in late from working on a project, as usual.

"Thor's going back to Asgard." Bruce replied, reaching out for a piece of toast.

Tony let out a sigh. "I've always wondered what Asgard looked like."

Thor's face suddenly brightened with an idea, almost like how in comic books a lightbulb appeared.

"What if I took you with me?" He said excitedly.

Tony instantly looked excited, and jumped to his feet, yelling YES! over and over again.

"But doesn't Odin not allow mortals on Asgard?" Steve asked.

"I am sure he would make an acception for my battle comrades!" Thor said.

"Then..." Steve said, looking around. "Thank you, Thor. We would love to come."

Tony ran down the hall, yelling about what he was going to pack as the other five looked on in amusement.
