Chapter 8: Meeting real superheroes
Tobias and Tris don't leave her room until the next morning. They had sex a few more times that night and very early in the morning taking an opportunity to talk some more while recharging their batteries. They shared things about their past, childhood, teen years, hopes and dreams. Tris said it is important to know things about each other, mainly to be able to maintain the story they fed everyone, but both soon skipped the basic information and went into personal things. Tobias told her about his ex-girlfriends and how he never really liked it that people identified him with his father or his parents' wealth. How in junior high he played baseball and he was number four on the field. When he went to high school he just introduced himself as Four. People knew his real name, but respected his decision to be his own person apart from his parents. Tobias just wanted to be a normal teenager and thanks to this unusual nickname he was able to be that. He revealed that he had been friends with Zeke, Shauna and Will for quite some time but he was a bit surprised that she was related to them. He never met her sister Christina, not before the wedding anyway, but he is good friends with her husband, Will.
Tris decided to share a few more details about her life and work. She told him about the Academy, how she met Uriah, Lynn and Marlene, how she was bullied and often beaten up by other students. She then proceeded to tell him about New York.
"I was supposed to fly out that evening to Iraq, but every available agent was called in. I was already in New York, visiting Shauna and Zeke when I got the call. When I told my boss that I was still in New York he gave me the coordinates to drive to our meeting point. What few realized was that the Avengers weren't the only ones fighting that day. Many agents died or got injured. I myself was shot twice and barely made it, if it wouldn't have been for Captain Rogers. I'm actually proud to say that I fought next to Captain America himself," she says grinning, while tracing small circles on Tobias' naked chest. They just made love for the… they just made love and Tris decided to share something. Tobias listens and at the same time tries to imagine her out there on the battlefield, fighting to protect everyone at the cost of her own life. She is so brave. She went into a battle with an enemy she knew nothing about. She fought the fucking aliens who tried to destroy their planet. "When back-up came we sent the Captain to join his team to fight the final battle. We all knew we wouldn't stand a chance without the Avengers. The only thing we did was to delay the Chitauri from spreading like a virus. But thankfully Stark did for once something useful and ejected that nuclear missile[1] into outer space killing the mother-ship of those alien motherfuckers," she says with a chuckle. Tobias pulls her closer to him, trying to protect her from whatever invisible enemy is out there to hurt her. He hated her at first, but now that he knows what this incredible girl, woman, went through he can't find it in him to even think ill of her. He never told this to anyone. He was there. He was in New York when the aliens came. He went to see one of his girlfriends, an actress, and just got caught in the middle of all of it. He remembers that he tried to flee the city like everyone else, looking for the shortest way out. While he was running on the streets aliens flew above his head, followed by Iron Man and Thor. He only got glimpses of the heroes of New York while in battle and he saw agents fighting those creatures. But truth be told the Avengers weren't the only heroes that day. Every man and woman, SHIELD, FBI, police whoever fought back became a hero that day. They all risked their lives to protect others. Never in a million years would he have imagined marrying one of them.
"I was there," he says, deciding to share this with her. He knows he can trust her.
"Where?" she asks looking up.
"New York, when it happened," he says.
"What?" she asks surprised. That was the last thing she expected him to say. He was there. Tris looks him over as if it were the first time she saw him. What is she expecting to find? Injuries? They would have healed by now. He remains quiet, despite her outburst. He gives an innocent smile, almost shy. Tris swallows.
"Yeah, but nothing happened to me. At least nothing bad," he says, trying to ease her mind. They keep staring at each other.
"Means the good guys did a good job keeping you safe," she finally says and lays her head back on his chest. He strokes her hair gently, kissing the top of her head every now and then. "I assume this isn't common knowledge," she says. Always so perceptive.
"No. My parents don't know," he says.
"Don't worry. I won't tell, if you don't want me to. I know what it means to keep this from your parents. I don't need mom and dad to stress out over stuff that happened a long time ago."
"Tris?"
"Yeah?"
"Is there anything else you want to share with me?" he asks. On one hand he wants to know everything about her, but on the other he is afraid of what else might have happened to her.
"There are some other things, but I think it's enough for now," she says and he can tell he won't get anything more out of her. He nods and kisses her head again.
"Maybe we should go out. They are probably wondering where we are. Unless they heard us," he says chuckling, remembering the cries of pleasure from them both.
"I doubt they heard anything. My room is sound proof. You could fuck me into oblivion and no one would know. Well, they could guess, but no one could hear a damn thing," she says.
"Really?"
"Yup," she says and gets up. "I'm gonna take a shower. Wanna join?" she asks batting her eyelashes.
"Isn't your shower super small?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.
"It's big enough for you to pick me up and fuck me hard," she says and he grins. God, this woman is insatiable.
An hour later the newlyweds emerge from their isolation and join their parents in the dining hall along with Tris' friends.
"Where the hell have you been?" Lynn asks.
"Obviously, she needed some alone time with her hubby," Uriah says teasingly.
"Yeah, we fucked our brains out," Tris says smirking, which makes Evelyn and Natalie choke on their coffee, Andrew's eyes to widen and Marcus to grin at his son, who grins back.
"Beatrice," her mom, finally says.
"Relax, mom. I'm kidding. We talked. We decided to put our differences aside and work together."
"And you needed all this time?" Uriah teases again.
"He's a guy and last time I checked you dumbasses are extremely slow," she says and plops down in a spare chair while Tobias sits between her and his father. They had already talked and said they should not go around telling people they just spent the past fourteen hours fucking. Although, it was kind of obvious that Tris would say that. She told him that the best way to keep a secret is to tell a lie, wrapped in truth and exaggerate it. The lie was that they just talked, but since she announced practically to everyone who was in the room that they had sex in such an exaggerated way she was pretty sure that everyone would immediately dismiss her statement. Knowing how the human brain deciphered information, Tris had no doubts the group would.
"So you two talked," Evelyn says smiling.
"Yeah, we decided there's no going back now, at least not until we figure things out," Tobias says. His mother frowns. To be honest, he doesn't want to go back either. He thought he wanted that, but not anymore. But he can't be sure about Tris. Maybe she still wants to divorce him.
"Hey, you okay?" she asks whispering.
"What?" he asks confused.
"You are so quiet. Is something wrong?" she asks, her eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm fine," he says, but Tris gives him a look that says she doesn't buy it.
"I kept thinking of all we talked about. I never shared so much with anyone," he says.
"And?" she asks still confused by his reaction.
"And? I don't want to go back to having to share things again," he says, hoping she'll get what he means. She seems to be able to understand him most of the times, he just hopes she does now too.
"Tobias, I'm not suffering from amnesia. In fact, I have an eidetic memory, which means I remember everything that ever happened to me," she says.
"That's not what I meant," he says exasperated.
"I know what you meant, but it's too soon to talk about us when we don't know if we really want us to be an us," she says. At least she understood what he meant and he guesses she is right. One wild night isn't enough to decide their future. He nods. Maybe he should slow down, wait and see. Perhaps he could be jumping into something way over his head.
They eat their breakfast and make small talk. The Prior's and Eaton's keep more to themselves while Tris and her friends are very loud and joke around. It's strange for her parents to see Tris this way. They always saw her as a quiet, well-behaved young lady, not this crazy, loud … person. Tobias however enjoys watching her like this, in her element, no restraints whatsoever.
"What am I hearing? Little Angel got hitched and I wasn't invited," Tony Stark says loudly upon entering the dining hall.
"Is that Tony Stark?" Evelyn whispers toward her husband. Having heard the billionaire, everyone else turns to see if he truly is who they think.
"I think he is," Marcus says, his coffee mug in front of his mouth.
"Hey, kiddo," Clint says and comes running into the room and basically picking Tris up and into his arms.
"Barton, put me down," Tris says giggling.
"Nope," he says smiling.
"Cap, please, help," she pleads jokingly.
"Can't help you, kid," Steve says.
"Is that Captain America?" Andrew asks no one in particular.
"I think he is," Marcus answers again.
"Captain America," Natalie whispers next to Evelyn who keeps her eyes glued to the Avenger. Both women are practically drooling at this point and the men just stare with their mouths hanging open how the youngest member of their family is casually interacting with all of them.
"This is probably a bad time and a groupie thing too, but you think Tris could get me an autograph from the Captain," Evelyn asks Natalie in a hushed voice, trying not get noticed by anyone. She feels a little silly, but she can't deny the man's attractiveness. She might own an action figure (or more) depicting the star-spangled hero.
"Only if I get one too," Natalie says absentmindedly staring at the tall, blonde man.
"Barton, if you don't put me down I'll tell Romanov about Singapore," she threatens. At that Barton puts her down.
"You wouldn't," he says.
"You wanna bet?" she asks raising an eyebrow.
"Why didn't you little bunny tell us you were getting married?" Tony walks over to her and puts his arm over her shoulder. Tris looks around at the three Avengers.
"I knew that Barton was back home at the farm, Cap had a mission with Nat and you," she says looking at Stark, "I just don't like you," she says with a straight face.
"WHAT?" Stark exclaims. "Straight to the feels," he says and pretends to have a broken heart.
"Oh, shut up," she says and smacks him lightly.
"So, where's this prince charming of yours?" Barton asks.
"Right over there," she says smirking and points at Tobias. "Come, let me introduce you to my family," she says and walks closer to the table. "My parents, Andrew and Natalie Prior," she points toward them and they wave, "my in-laws, Marcus and Evelyn Eaton," they do the same as the Prior's, "and my husband, Tobias Eaton." Tobias nods. "Family, these are three of the Avengers, meet Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye, Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man or Iron Dumbass like Natasha likes to call him," she says with a chuckle and Tony says "hey" offended. "You've got a problem with that, Stark?" she asks the billionaire.
"Hell, I do," he says loudly.
"Then go to Romanov. I'm sure she'll listen," Tris says and both Cap and Hawkeye, as well as the agents there laugh. "And last but not least," Tris resumes the introductions, "Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America." They all greet each other and shake hands. Natalie and Evelyn almost have heart attacks when Steve kisses each of their hands and offers them one of his most charming smiles. At times like these, Natalie and Evelyn both wish they were single and alone with the Avenger. Ugh, heads out of the gutter, ladies!
"Where's Coulson?" Steve asks after a while.
"I think in his office. By the way, did you sign those goddamn cards yet?" Tris asks.
"Language, young lady," Steve says.
"Lighten up, Captain. Let the girl speak freely," Tony says smirking.
"That's no language for a proper young lady," Steve defends.
"Cap, I love you like crazy," Tris says batting her eyelashes, "but when exactly did I ever behave like a proper young lady?"
"Other than on covert ops?" Barton adds and Tris nods.
"NEVER," Uriah, Lynn and Tony yell and then start laughing.
"You guys are impossible," Steve says and gets up, leaving the dining hall.
"Oh, come on, Cap," Tris shouts after him.
"He'll come around," Barton says patting her shoulder.
"I know. So, did you find the lair of those motherfuckers?" Tris asks.
"Beatrice," Natalie scolds.
"What?" Tris asks confused.
"Language," her mother says.
"Oh, not you too."
"Beatrice? Your name is Beatrice?" Tony asks and starts laughing.
"Yeah, got a problem with that, Anthony?" Tris asks glaring at Stark.
"It's strange, so not you at all," he says.
"Shut up, Stark. See? This is why I didn't invite you to my wedding."
"I'm hurt, really hurt, Angel," he says.
"Grow up, dude."
They continue their sibling-like argument for a while, until Coulson asks Barton and Stark to join him and Steve in Coulson's office.
"I didn't know you knew Tony Stark," Andrew says.
"Well, I couldn't just tell you, without you asking me where from," she says smirking.
"And Captain America," Evelyn adds.
"And Hawkeye, Black Widow, the Hulk," Tris says.
"You know the Hulk too?" Tobias asks.
"Well, yeah, he is an Avenger too. Well, I know Banner a lot better, but still."
"And don't forget Thor," Daisy chimes in.
"He is so fucking dreamy," Bobbi says with heart eyes.
"Yeah, so dreamy," Tris agrees.
"Tris, maybe you wanna stop drooling with your new husband sitting right next to you," Uriah says laughing his ass off.
"Oh, yeah right," she says loud, but adds whispering and holds up four fingers, "Four can be dreamy, but he is also fucking hot and I just wanna fuck him again." Tobias smirks and is extremely glad he is sitting at the table and his genital region is covered by it, otherwise this would have been awkward and embarrassing. "Wanna have another chat?" Tris asks wiggling her eyebrows.
"Maybe in a minute," he says and grabs her hand so that no one sees it and puts it over his engorged manhood.
Sneak Peek Chapter 9: Preparing to go back
"Nice gathering you have here, boss. You guys deciding who should take the ring back to Mordor?" Tris asks and Tobias chuckles at her "Lord of the Rings" reference.
"Tris, good. We were just about to call you," Coulson starts saying but Tony interrupts.
"But we figured you were riding your hubby into oblivion."
"You do realize I have a video of you in a compromising position that I could always show to Pepper?" Tris asks sitting down in her favorite place, the window sill, Tobias sitting next to her on the chair.
"You wouldn't," Tony says serious.
"Why do you guys keep saying that? I'm not a high-society well-behaved chick. Romanov put me through an initiation of her own that rivaled the Dothraki's," she says.
"Who?" Steve asks confused.
"Game of Thrones," Coulson explains, but Steve still looks confused. "I'll explain later."
