Life was pretty normal at Avenger Tower and Alina was enjoying her time there. She had been living there for several months now, and had adjusted to life there very well. Though she did miss Logan and the other X-Men quite a bit, working with Bruce and Tony was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.

The good thing about living in New York City was the fact that she was able to visit her father more often, which made her and Zeus very happy, and a lot closer. The bad thing about living with the Avengers was that eventually she'd have to meet Director Fury.

The Avengers and Alina were having movie night when JARVIS announced that Director Fury and Agent Coulson, who they just found out was actually alive, had arrived and were on their way up. Tony groaned and all the eyes turned to Alina.

"What?"

"Fury's not going to be happy that you're here, Alina." Clint informed her.

"So, what do I care?"

"Well, he's going to be suspicious of you and more than likely he has a file on you. Which means he's going to demand that you join the Avengers." Steve comments.

Alina started laughing, "There's no way Fury can make me join the Avengers. What's he going to do, throw me in jail?"

"Yeah." The Avengers say in unison.

"Doubt it."

At that point the elevator doors open and out steps Fury and Coulson. Fury scans the room, zeroing in on Alina who is sitting in between Bruce and Tony.

"Avengers, I received some interesting information that there's a new resident in this tower, and I am assuming that's you, Miss…"

"Macleod, Alina Macleod, and you are?"

"Nick Fury, director of SHIELD."

"SHIELD?"

"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, surely you knew that, Miss Macleod?"

"No, why would I know that?"

"You live with the Avengers, I'm sure you've heard them talk."

"As a matter of fact I haven't, I make it a point to leave the room when they talk about anything that involves their work outside of what Bruce and Tony are doing in the lab. I'm just a simple physicist, director Fury, I have no interest or desire to know what the Avengers do. My job is to assist in the lab nothing more."

This, of course was something that the Avengers were just now realizing. It was true, Alina was never in the room when they talked about any type of mission. Fury didn't look convinced, until Steve spoke up.

"It's true, Director, Alina is never in the room when we talk about missions or any other thing that pertains to SHIELD or the Avengers."

Fury scrutinized Steve for a moment, he knew that Steve would never lie to him. Steve was a terrible liar, he couldn't lie to save his life. Fury wasn't completely satisified with the answer, but he would take Steve's word for it.

"Fine, I'll take your word for it, Captain Rogers, just make sure it stays that way." With that, him and Coulson left.

Clint turned to Alina, "You know I never noticed before, but you really do leave when we do our Avengers stuff."

"Yeah, it's like what I told your Director, I'm not interested in knowing. Don't tell me you guys are interested in knowing what the X-Men do?"

"Yeah we are."

"Well, tough."

After that, there were no more incidents with SHIELD or Fury. Things continued on as normal until one day when Alina came back to the Tower after visiting her father, she noticed when she entered the lab that it was empty.

"Huh, they must have all gone on a mission."

**Miss Macleod?**

"JARVIS?"

**Sir, and the Avengers asked me to inform you when you returned if you could proceed to the main floor, so you can meet the final memeber of the team.**

"Oh, um, okay. I'll be right up."

It had been a year since Thor had been to Midgard. He was still heart broken, but he couldn't stay away. There was just something pulling him to earth, but he didn't know what. He arrived at Avenger Tower and was greeted by all the Avengers, Tony was the first one to greet him.

"Hey, Point Break, welcome back! It's about time." Tony says as he hugs Thor.

"Thank you, Stark, it is…nice to be back."

Thor wasn't too convinced that it was, but he would humor Tony in the meantime. Natasha studied Thor's face and could still see the sadness that lurked behind his eyes. She walked up to him and cupped his face, giving him a sympathetic smile.

"You doing alright, Sweetie?"

Thor gave her a sad smile, "Aye, Natasha, I am slowly healing."

Clint came and clapped Thor on the shoulder, "It'll get better, Buddy, it'll just take some time."

Tony, Bruce and Steve looked at each other, confused, then looked at Thor.

"Lady Jane left me, that is why I have been gone for so long." Thor explained.

"Oh, Thor, I'm so sorry to hear that." Bruce says.

"Yeah me too, Buddy, but I'm sure you'll find someone else." Steve commented.

Tony got this glint in his eye, "Maybe sooner than you think." He said under his breath.

Natasha, having heard him, raised an eyebrow. At that point the elevator dinged and Tony motioned very subtly with his head towards the elevator. Natasha suddenly understood, a ghost of a smile crossed her lips. When the elevator doors opened, Alina stepped out. Tony waltzed over, he smiled at her.

Putting his arm around her shoulders, Tony led Alina out of the elevator, "Hey, Munchkin, just in time, let me introduce you to the last member of our team."

Alina noticed the tall blonde with brilliant blue eyes, standing in the middle of the room surrounded by the other Avengers. When Alina saw him her jaw dropped open and she gawked at him.

Tony smirked, he whispered in her ear, "Close your mouth, Munchkin, before you catch flies."

Alina snapped her mouth shut, Tony quietly chuckled. "Let me introduce you to him."

"No, that's okay, Tony, I'm good."

Tony rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, Alina, he won't bite, that is unless you want him to."

He took her hand and dragged her towards Thor, "Hey, Point Break, let me introduce you to mine and Bruce's new associate, Alina Macleod."

Thor turned around, he looked down at the tiny woman. His eyes widened at the sight of her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his entire life. Thor gave her the biggest smile as he walked towards her, he reached out for her hand in order to kiss it. But when their hands made contact, an electric current ran through both of them, making them both shiver. Thor brought Alina's hand up to his lips, kissing her hand very gently, feeling a tingle on his lips when they made contact with her skin.

"It is an honor to meet you Lady Alina, I am Thor Odinson, Prince of Asgard."

Alina blushed as she looked up into Thor's beautiful blue eyes, "The honor is mine, Prince Thor."

"Just Thor, please."

"As long as you call me just Alina, it isn't necessary to be so formal."

Tony smirked as he turned to look at Bruce. Oh, yeah, his plan was going to work, Tony suddenly clapped his hands getting everyone's attention.

"Well, I think since Thor's back, we should have a party. What do you think, Big Guy?"

Thor wasn't paying attention to what Tony was saying, he was too busy staring into Alina's beautiful brown eyes. He thought they were the most expressive eyes he had ever seen.

"Hello? Earth to Thor, what do you think?"

Thor finally looked at Tony, "What? Oh, a party is not necessary, brother Anthony."

Tony snorted, "Of course it is Goldie Locks, even if it isn't we should party anyway. I'll make all the arrangements for tonight, you're coming, right Alina?"

"I don't know, Tony, parties aren't really my thing"

Thor turned around and looked at her with a hopeful look in his eyes. "It would truly be an honor if you would come to the party, Lady Alina."

Alina looked up into those deep blue eyes, losing herself. "Alright I'll come."

"Great!" Tony yelled, making Thor and Alina jump, he sniggered at their reaction.

This was going to be easier than he thought.
