"What did you say to them?"
Her father had waited until the two gods disappeared to ask, and she had to wonder at his circumspection. When he got curious, he usually went straight at it until he either had all the answers or was satisfied, despite who he offended.
With a mysterious smile, she replied, "Just some advice."
"Like?" he dragged the question out, itching to know what she'd said. He'd been twitchy anytime she'd been around either one of the Asgardians, not liking how they looked at her.
She couldn't hold back the smile, glad he proved her point even if he was unaware of it. "That they all need to communicate more. If that fails, I suggest looking for a good family therapist. Those two have some serious brother complexes and father issues."
"Ah." Happy with that answer and her obvious dislike of having to deal with their issues, Tony steered them over to the rest of the team, though he pouted when Kagome left his side to talk to... them. The thieves and corrupters of dutiful daughters. Barton and Romanoff.
"Everything alright, Stark?"
Turning to face the Captain, he raised a brow. "Fine, why wouldn't I be fine? The bad guy and power source are finally out of our hair."
It was the Captain's turn to smirk when Kagome let out an excited cry and hugged the two agents, leaving Tony with a dark scowl on his face. As if sensing the scrutiny, Tony got his facial expression back under control and firmly told Steve through gritted teeth, "As I said, everything's fine."
Chuckling, as it was rather refreshing to see Tony was just like every other father in the world, he remarked, "Guess this is where we part ways."
Tony stood up straighter, turning his attention to Steve and offering his hand with a smile. "For now."
AN: 10 days of freedom! :3 I'm so going to enjoy them to the best of my ability! Read, enjoy, and review!
