"Sir, my readings show that there is an increase in body temperatures in several rooms due to-" Jarvis started to tell Tony.
"-Say no more," he hiccupped with a smile. "I know exactly what you mean." Tony was in his room talking with Pepper. He was still drunk and planned on continued to drink until Jarvis gave him this news. "You, my love, stay here; I got to go check up on the rest." He smirked as he turned around.
"Tony, leave them be," Pepper was in her a satin teddy with a satin robe.
Tony was at the door. "Nah." He then shut the door. "Jarvis, lock the door."
"Tony!" Pepper scolded as she heard the lock. She shook her head and almost laughed. He had done this a few times to her and she had done it to him as well.
"Now where are my condoms, ahhh, here they are," he rummaged through some drawers and grabbed multiple boxes.
Bruce couldn't sleep and was up and about walking around. He spotted Tony with the boxes. He was opening them up and putting them in a basket. Bruce did not know what to think of Tony at the moment. "Ugh, what are you doing?" Bruce spoke with caution.
Tony stopped and looked at him before going back to finishing what he was doing. "Darn, I was hoping you would be in that category."
Bruce tried to half smile. He was confused. "What category?"
"Well, you are walking around, though it is a surprise that you did not hear them," Tony nodded his head from side to side and put the empty boxes in the trash.
"Hear who?" Bruce did not see where this was going, and then it hit him. He tried to reason with him. "No, you're not saying what I think you're saying?"
"Yes, if it entitles sex, then yes, yes it is," Tony started to walk off with his basket.
Bruce shook his head. "Oh come on, you can't be serious?"
"I am," Tony was down the hall.
Bruce thought about it. Should he stay and not see him make a fool of himself or go and try to keep the damage under a minimum? Bruce then started to jog after Tony.
Tony paused for a moment. He started to think out loud as he started to walk again. "Who do you think is in which room? They each have their own room but who would go where? Aha." He figured it out before Jarvis was about to tell him.
He opened the first door. It was Thor's room. There the two were asleep, cuddled in his bed. "Oh well this is a surprise," as he threw the condoms at them. "Well just in case you need it in the morning." He closed the door before they could wake up. Bruce just shook his head and tried not to laugh.
He was walking past the fourth door when he heard some scuttle. He opened the door and found Natasha and Clint fighting over a game controller. "Really?" Tony shook his head. "Well, in case the wrestling starts to go without clothes." He threw condoms at them as they stared in disbelief. The two looked at each other and as they were about to say something Tony shut the door and headed on to his next victim. This time Bruce had to hide his smile. It was getting better and better.
Tony headed to the ladies side. He opened Sigyn's room. "Ahh I came too late, I even had fire and ice condoms," as he shook his head at the two and showered them with condoms. The two were still in the lingerie and trousers. Loki quickly covered Sigyn with the blankets and covers as he swooped out of the bed in one fluid motion. He blocked Tony at the door from seeing more. He looked intimidating and protective. "You know, come to think of it," Tony thought. "Would you even need condoms? Would they even be helpful? Do you actually know how they work? Wait, I don't want to know."
Loki stared at him with irritation and clenched fury. "You are trying my patience, Tony Stark." His voice full of warning.
"Oh believe me, I would not want to try your patience," Tony put his hands up in the air in defeat. "By the looks of it, it seems like you don't have any."
Bruce saw the anger fuming off of Loki, he was ready for the challenge. He grabbed Tony. "Tony."
"Alright, I'll go quietly," Tony started to walk off with Bruce. "As quietly as they did it." He smirked.
Bruce turned around to see Loki narrowing his eyes at Tony before heading back into the room. He sighed a relief.
Tony opened the next room. He was surprised on what he saw. Steve was helping Janine practice boxing. The two were all sweaty and had been laughing. Tony threw condoms at them anyways. "Well, if this boxing match turns to wrestling here's some safety. Which Janine, you would probably need to help him with cause he seems a bit...virginal." The rest stared at him in shock and surprise. Tony looked around at the rest. "What? He does. Plus he said it himself he hasn't ever had a girlfriend. I don't even think he's been that far with a woman. So Janine have at it." He closed the door and grabbed Bruce around the shoulders. "Well buddy ole pal," the two walked back to Tony's room. "Although you may not have a woman here, you do have the next best thing."
"Tony don't say it," Bruce gave him an incredulous look.
"Pam and her five friends," Tony shrugged as he set the basket of condoms down on a counter. Bruce shook his head and looked away. The two stopped in front of his room. "Well, this is you, have a good night. I don't want a handshake in the morning." Tony then left him there. Bruce shook his head and went inside.
The next morning the group ate breakfast and packed up for a weekend getaway. The group was escorted in different vehicles to a private airport. The group boarded one of Tony's private jets. As they got themselves situated, the jet took off in a manner of minutes.
"So," Tony made sure to sit in close proximity of Sigyn and Loki. "Once we stop ascending, you two can join the mile high club. Cross that off your list before making it back to Asgard." Thor and Loki were confused by his reference. Sigyn just shook her head as she looked at her fellow Asgardians.
"It is not something worthwhile to mention," Sigyn did not want a fight to happen on this flying device.
"Oh, but it is," Tony looked at her through his shades.
She stopped him from speaking further. "Not unless you want your flying ship to be torn into pieces, it is best to keep this to yourself, especially the circumstances that happened last night."
The rest of the group looked at him in agreement.
"Alright," he put his hands up in defeat.
The jet touched down a few hours later. They were escorted to a private dock. Tony led them to his yacht. It was a very luxurious and giant yacht. The group was given a brief tour before they split up to go change. Tony went to the helm and took the yacht out to sea. Pepper was by his side. She loved when he did take time to relax. It has been a long time since they went yachting. Once they were free from the inland, Tony set Jarvis to take the helm. He gave certain coordinates of where he wanted the yacht to be. Pepper lounged with Tony on the deck.
Natasha, Janine, Jane, and Sigyn were all discussing about last night. As well as the guys were talking about it too. However, Loki kept his thoughts to himself. The group came back together. Each coupling and parting ways. Bruce had found a lab. He was quite interested in that. Thor and Jane went to go look out at the water. Natasha and Clint started to do a full sweep of the yacht. Janine and Steve went to find Tony and Pepper. Loki and Sigyn just walked around the yacht.
Tony spotted the Loki and Sigyn as they were making their way back inside the yacht. He yelled down at them, "Hey, don't rock the boat too much." He went back to the helm area where Pepper, Steve, and Janine shook their heads at him. "Jarvis, follow them and help set the mood."
"You're walking a very thin line," Steve tried to talk some sense into him. "Do you remember what happened last time when we encountered his anger?"
"Yeah," Tony stretched on the white sofa. "We kicked his ass. The Hulk pummeled him into the ground. We also now have Janine and Sigyn that could do equal damage as well."
Janine added, "Sigyn is strong enough to keep Loki under control but there is going to be a time where she is not there and I don't think I am mentally strong enough to do some of the things she does." Steve grabbed her hand in support. "He's not going to take your antics much longer."
"Oh he will," Tony was sure of it. He sipped on a beverage.
The lights dimmed as they walked through the hallway. Music followed them wherever they went. Loki looked at Sigyn, his anger slowly brewing. She gave him a soft smile. The two paused in the hallway. Her hand went up to caress his cheek. She gave him comfort. Loki grabbed her hand and kissed the tips of her fingers. Sigyn was about to laugh but she stared out to the end of hall. Loki looked with her.
Thor came around the corner with Jane. "Brother," he spoke to him as he came closer. "There are small watercrafts that we can use to venture away for a few moments." He stopped and looked around. "Am I interrupting?"
"Let's see these Midgardian devices," Loki put Sigyn's hand back. He was not too happy about those around him trying to pry into his private life. What was between him and Sigyn is suppose to stay between the two. Those around could use her against him and vice versa. He did not want that. He also expected this from Thor which was actually keeping his distance. The four of them headed to the wet bay area where Clint was lounging around. The five of them decided to meet back there once they were done changing.
Sigyn and Jane came back in rashguard shirts. Jane wore a short sleeve while Sigyn wore a long sleeve. They both had shorts of the same material. The two had their hair up. Clint was the next one out. He had on Bermuda shorts and his shades. Thor and Loki came next. Thor was in shorts while Loki had on Bermuda shorts and a rashguard long sleeve shirt.
Clint explained to the four of them about jet skiing, how to operate, and how to be safe. Jane was the only one who took a life jacket. Clint showed them how to take their jet skis. He waited off in a safe distance. Thor helped Jane onto the watercraft and headed out at a moderate speed. Jane laced her arms around his body. Once Loki helped Sigyn on and felt her arms around him, he smirked and headed out of the yacht with a bit too much speed. He splashed water on three waiting for them. Loki waited for the rest to catch up to him.
"Did you get a bit of water upon you, brother?" Loki smirked as he saw Thor and Jane a bit soaked. Clint came up on the other side of Thor. Sigyn winked at Jane. The two smiled at one another. Loki glanced at Jane before trying to look back to Sigyn. She gave him a small squeeze.
Thor only laughed. "Shall we see if you still have your losing streak?"
"Last time I knew it was you who was losing," Loki retorted.
"Are we accounting all realms or just back home?" Thor looked over to him. Loki didn't respond. "First one to the seaweed patches and back?" Loki inclined an eyebrow in agreement. Thor looked over to Clint. "Do you want to join in our friendly game?"
Clint smirked. "Why not?"
Thor grabbed Jane's hands. "Hold on tight." She locked her arms around him.
Sigyn looked at her and smiled. Worry not; I will make sure you will stay with him. She rested her head upon Loki's back snuggling closer to him.
Is it always like this? Jane thought back to her. She followed Sigyn and rested her head upon Thor.
Sigyn sighed. It was. I am happy to see them acting like brothers again. It is a constant struggle between them.
It is. Jane agreed.
"Ready," Thor began the countdown. The guys started to get antsy.
"Set," Loki continued on.
"Go!" Clint yelled. Three of them took off. Water splashed all around. Natasha watched them on the upper deck. She had heard them and went to check upon them. She shook her head and smirked as she watched Clint took the lead for a few moments before Thor and Loki caught up with him.
The three headed around the patch and came back with the same rate. Sigyn kept Jane by Thor's side. They were going at speeds that were clearly unsafe. Thor was in first as Clint and Loki were neck and neck. As they were making it back to the yacht, a coast guard on patrol had spotted them and headed their way with lights blazing and sirens going. This sparked the rest of the groups interest. They watched the race and the boater coming over to them.
"Fury is going to get a kick out of this," Tony laughed.
The three of them started to go faster to see who would win. Clint gunned his through the brothers and won by an inch. Loki and Thor tied for second. As they were slowing down, the patrol boat came upon. They were a few hundred yards away from the yacht.
A few coast guards came out to meet them. They had on aviator sun glasses. One of them had a megaphone in hand.
"What seems to be the problem?" Clint was the closest out of the three to the boat.
"Do you have a boating permit to be out in these waters?" The man with the megaphone spoke.
"Yes," Clint crossed his arms.
The man with the megaphone spoke once again. "Do you know that the safety speed for jet skis and other water crafts around each other are 35?"
Clint gave no response. He waited in silence.
"Also it is recommended to wear life jackets when aboard water crafts," the man spoke. "Were you also aware of the proximity you three have come close to within each other? Or the safety issues around patches of seaweed? Or that you have put the lives around you in danger along with yourself?"
The group silent was silent for a moment. Loki interjected. He knew that Clint was thinking of a way out. Loki had one.
"By our silence, you can fathom the answer," Loki spoke with sincerity. He looked at each one of them before moving on. "Though it seems that your words do not reflect upon yourselves; you barge in with daunting speed to stop a friendly game, jeopardize our safety with your larger craft, I see no life jackets upon you, and yet here we are the culprits. I can imagine that you too have hit over patches of certain greenery. It comes to the conclusion, what is our consequence?"
The coastguards tried to keep their cool about them. Loki and the rest knew he had gotten to them. It was true though. The coast guards did not have their life jackets on, even though they don't have to wear them, and did precisely everything he had said. The man with the megaphone finally spoke. "Let this be a warning." The coastguard crew quickly took off. Loki smirked as he watched them leave.
"You still have your silver tongue," Thor mused. "At least this time it did get us out of trouble."
Loki casted his eyes over to him before looking back to the coastguards, "There have been few times when it has not gotten us out of a dilemma you have mostly started. Though for the most part, it has gotten us out of measure of certain antics."
"Yes," Thor nodded his head. "It has come quite handy when situations happen to dull."
Loki scuffed. "And yet it is also there to clean up the mess you leave."
"Pahh," Thor waved him off. "Does your silver tongue clean up the mess you leave?" Loki was silent. Thor laughed as he patted Jane's arms around him, making sure that she still had a hold of him. "Tis what I thought." Thor then cranked the throttle and splashed water on Loki and Sigyn.
Loki tried to shield himself and Sigyn from the water but it still splashed upon them. Thor came back with a smug look.
"Brother, I do believe you are quite soaked," Thor teased. He looked up to see the rest of the group staring down at them. He looked to the Loki and Clint. "The Midgardian did not say that we are not allowed to race again. Shall we see out of all of the men, who will be the fastest?" Thor looked back up to Tony and the rest. The group agreed. There were enough jet skis for all of the men.
The group quickly changed into their swim gear. Natasha and the rest of the ladies went on a small speed boat. They watched as the men lined up and got a feel for the Jet Ski. They started to root for the guys. It was the same course. Pepper did the countdown with a blow horn. The men took off. Loki, Thor, and Clint were the front of the race while Tony, Steve, and Bruce were trying to catch up. Sigyn made sure the guys did not hurt each other. Janine was doing the same. At times the group of them got too close to one another. On the way back, Loki was at one point in time the leader, then Thor had passed him. Somehow Steve made his way through and was the leader for a few moments before Clint got the upper hand. Tony took to the outside and caught the first for a few moments. Bruce however was still in the back. He was trying but he knew if he kept going at any rate, the big guy might come out and knock over all of them.
In the end, it was Steve who won this time. Thor, Loki, Clint, and Tony were tied for second. Bruce came in last. Tony then decided it was a great idea for the women to race. Pepper was the first to oppose; Natasha and Sigyn shrugged their shoulders and decided why not. Janine and Jane were a bit nervous about it.
"Oh come on," Tony reached out a hand to her as the rest were switching places. Some of the guys were telling them how to use the Jet Ski. Few of the women had on life jackets, such as Pepper, Janine, and Jane.
Pepper agreed to it and went on the craft. Clint took Bruce's Jet Ski for safety. He wanted to be able to get to the girl's if anything was to happen. The rest of the men were on the boat.
"Now ladies," Tony spoke as he got himself a drink. "Cat fighting is frowned upon, but necessary so don't be shy to fight dirty." He winked at Pepper.
Clint then proceeded to start the countdown. Sigyn and Natasha were very ready to go. The rest were a bit nervous. They did not want to go exceedingly fast, nor did they want to bump into one another. Janine did want to race, but she didn't want to hurt anyone out there.
The group took off. Sigyn and Natasha were in the forefront. Janine was behind them. Pepper and Jane were neck and neck behind Janine.
"Any bets?" Tony looked to the rest of the men. There was only silence. "Well my bet is on the redhead."
The rest looked at him with curiosity and an assortment of emotions. "Which one?" Bruce spoke up.
"Oh you know, the one that wins," Tony took a sip. "You know it will be between Natasha and Sigyn. Jane and Pepper are playing it safe. Janine wants to be fast but she is still afraid. And the forefront leaders are pretty wild and dangerous. Which somewhat reflects upon us when we raced. Bruce, having no one was always in the back. Steve actually won, but at first just wanted to play it safe. Clint, the Asgardians, and I like to play dangerous, hence why we all tied."
Janine had taken first for a few seconds before Natasha and Sigyn regained it. Pepper and Jane were now tied with Janine. In the last few seconds, Sigyn became leader and won.
"Told you so," Tony patted the Asgardians on the back. "Well, at least we know that some gods can win. Or should I say goddess." He smiled as the ladies came around the boat to them.
"Next time," Natasha taunted Sigyn.
"Hmm," Sigyn smirked back. "If there will be a next time." The group then dispersed up. Some went to the boat, while others doubled on the Jet Skis.
