Chapter 3, In Which Things Get A Little Complicated!

I love reviews, yeah! Alright, the Peter/Me pairing will be one of those that argue all the time before realizing that they love each other while Loki and I are comfortable around each other.

Dear Journal

I've been in the gym a lot. Loki follows me in there and plays with the random IQ toys I give him, well, that I get with Tony's money. Nick Fury keeps trying to figure out everything I know. I know a lot, and I think I'm going to use it against him if he ever steps over his boundaries, because the information that was leaked from CA 2: TWS has been erased. It's completely gone from the internet and no one remembers (except Steve, Natasha, Fury, Hill, Wilson, and any other SHIELD agents I meet). Don't ask me how they did it, I don't know. But I think that it has something to do with the Mind stone. I know HYDRA has it, but I can't shake the feeling that it has something to do with it.

Peter has been talking with me a lot recently. He is a really annoying person, I must say. He has no true views on people and bases everything solely on how he believes people should act, not how they do act. Not to mention he's a child and would do anything for money. I should have called it from the movie, but…

Never mind, ok? I've taken to listening to music while I practice in the gym. Loki actually has been getting worried about me. So has Tony, Bruce, Steve, Clint, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, everyone I see casts me looks that plainly say I'm doing something worrying. I have work to do. I think I'm finally able to float in the air a little with the Power stone. Though I'm pretty sure it would be much easier if I had the Cosmic and/or Reality stones.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

The tips of my toes left the floor of the gym and I went up a few centimeters. Loki stared at me with slanted eyes, waiting to see if I would hurt myself or not. I had accidently started to float yesterday on my bed so I have been practicing all morning today. How by The Neighbourhood played in the background as I willed myself to float just a little higher.

Then suddenly I gave out and landed heavily on my hands and knees before crumpling. Loki went forward and checked to see if I was bleeding, if I was alive. When he found I was fine, just exhausted, he sat back and kept playing with the Pentamix Rubik's cube I got him. The song changed to Paralyzer by Finger Eleven and I got up.

"JARVIS, where's Thor?" I asked, and Loki snapped to look at me with narrowed eyes. "He's in the Kitchen."

"Where's Steve?" It went silent a moment. "He's on his way to the Gym." I rolled my eyes.

"What about everyone else?"

"Everyone is now on their way to the gym. Clint would like to challenge you to a fight." I glanced at Loki. He had his eyebrows furrowed and a frown on his lips.

I shrugged and started to punch one of the punching bags as the song changed to The Calculation by Regina Spektor.

Finally a purple light glowed around me and I reared both hands back and clapped. A purple wave of energy blew away from my hands and cut an X into the bag before it fell apart. A triangle piece still hung because it had cut in an X shape.

"Did you seriously just cut through that?" I heard someone (Bruce) whisper disbelievingly as Some Nights by FUN came on.

I turned to see the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy standing in the bleacher place. I shrugged. "Yeah."

"Wow, Cherub, didn't know you actually had some strength in you." I heard Peter say, and I glared towards him. "Don't call me Cherub."

"Only if you stop calling me Ammo." Yes, ok, I have taken to calling him Ammo and he has taken to calling me Cherub. We've gotten on each other's nerves the past 4 days. Tony gives me a knowing look and I glare at him lightly before turning back to Peter.

"Look Ammo, I'm not calling you Star-Lord, Peter is weird, and I'm not a spy or federal agent and neither are you, so I'm not calling you Quill. What else is there to call you?" He gave me a glare and walked off.

"You really ruffled his feathers…" Clint remarked. "But he does not have feathers and she was too far to ruffle them if he did." Drax said. "I do not understand." Thor added. Steve just cocked an eyebrow at Clint.

"Well, I need to evaluate your strength and fighting skills to see if you can keep yourself safe. Spar with me." Clint basically commanded. I tied my hair back as he waited for me to say something. "Alright. Soon, but not right now. I have stuff to do." I chided, starting to hum along to This Is What Makes Us Girls by Lana Del Rey.

Then he lunged. I easily got out of the way and went over to the bags of items, starting to take off the tape on my knuckles. Clint tried to hit me again, and I caught his fist as Stolen Dance by Milky Chance came on, and grinned. "I haven't watched this show in a long time but I've never been able to say this so I will now. You probably shouldn't have done that." I kicked out and my foot collided with his side.

Clint pushed me back and I nearly fell over the bench, but I quickly ducked between his legs and righted myself behind him. "I want you, we can bring it on the floor! You've never danced like this before, we don't talk about it!" I sang, ducking when he tried to kick me, and I caught his foot, trying to flip him over. I easily did so with my now enhanced strength and breathed a "Whoa!" at that. He fell to the floor and I continued singing, "Dancing on, do the boogie all night long! Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it… Shouldn't talk about it!" I reared back when he jumped up and punched me in the shoulder. "Ow! Fuck you!" I growled, before rearing back and punching him hard in the shoulder. He gave a cry of pain and I stiffened. "Oh, shit, I'm sorry, I forgot I had the power stone, meaning I'm stronger than I usually am!"

Rootless by Marina and the Diamonds came on as I gently lay my hand on his shoulder, and let my mind try to heal his wound. I felt him relax underneath my palm and Clint blinked up blearily at me. "Sorry, Clint. I really should have not let my anger get the better of me." I heard Bruce chuckle lightly at that as The Hanging Tree by Jennifer Lawrence came on.

"Are you, are you, coming to the tree?" I sang softly, and Clint sighed in relief as his wound dissipated. "You're not that bad." He finally said. "But you are nowhere near as good as you can be. You are really raw, and-!"

"And you were going easy on me?" I asked, and he shook his head. "I figured if I did, I would get much worse than that punch." I quirked a smile and let him be, before turning my head. "You see that, Ammo?" Peter snorted. "Yeah, yeah, Cherub, I just came back for my Walkman." But I knew that he didn't. He never forgets his Walkman anywhere. He came to watch me. Heads Will Roll by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs came on just as he left, and I nodded, before shooing the people out. "Alright, all of you, out. I need to train. Not you." I gave Loki a look and he sighed before going back to sitting on the block of mats stacked on each other.

This was starting to get interesting. Really, it was. I was just a little annoyed with people at the moment and wanted to be alone. But Loki couldn't leave my sight.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"Steve, I know Natasha keeps trying to get you with people and you kind of didn't like that, but don't you think Natasha looks amazing today?" Steve looked at me with one raised eyebrow. "Hey, hey, I just thought you were more Het than Mo! It's either Natasha or Bucky, and sir, I love Stucky so much, but it's all up to you."

Saying Bucky had been one of the worse possible things for me to do. He reared back, then grabbed my shoulders. "You know where Bucky is?!" I shrugged. "I will when we get the mind/knowledge stone. The Chitauri Scepter." I clarified, and he slowly released me. "R-right…" Steve cleared his throat. "Now, what was this about Natasha?"

Cue my very creepy Cheshire Cat smile in 3… 2… 1! "Oh my god, why would you smile like that, Cherub?!" Figures it would be Peter who saw it. "How would you like to find out and help me with it?" He stopped a moment, looking between me and Steve. Upon seeing Steve's grimace, Peter grinned. "I'm in."

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"Do you really think this is going to work?" Peter asked, giving me a slightly worried expression. "Yes, I have no desire to be maimed by Natasha." Steve said, and I shrugged. "Yeah, it should work. If it doesn't, I was never here." Peter gave me an incredulous look. "What about me?!"

"You can take the blame." I answered easily, before pushing Steve out. He nearly ran into Natasha, but he righted himself, giving her a smile and producing a bouquet of chocolate flowers. "Thanks." Natasha said, quirking a smile. "Here we go." I whispered, and Peter paled before pressing the button.

A low grating sound started above us and a beam fell from the ceiling. Before Steve could lurch to save her like we planned, however, Natasha pushed him out of the way and the beam swung towards me and Peter. "Shit…" We breathed together, and Peter pushed me to the ground as the beam nearly crashed into me, before it pulverized the wall behind us. I felt heat crawl up my neck as he stayed atop me and I cleared my throat. "Um, Peter…" I tried.

Understanding flashed on his face and he stood, helping me up. "Right." He said, clearing his throat. Then a grin split his face and I raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"You called me Peter." The freaking dumbass. "Shut up, Ammo!" I growled, giving him a push. He just continued to laugh. "So this is how you try to get people together?" I jumped into the air, giving a shriek, before turning to Natasha, who was staring at us both. "IT WAS HIM/HER!" We yelled in unison, pointing at each other.

"You both are children." She chided, before leaving with Steve. Yes, another quote I now can say. "Match made!" I cheered, pumping a fist into the air.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"Dinner." I clarified with Tony flatly. "Yes, dinner. Now that both these teams, Loki, Pepper, and you are living in the tower, Steve wants us to eat dinners together." I groaned and followed him to the dinner table, Loki following behind me slowly.

"I'm hungry anyways. It better be something yummy." I growled to Tony. "Yummy? I don't believe that is the language of an adult." Loki said behind me. "Pfth. Who grows up when they get to adult age?" I asked, waving the god of mischief off.

"Besides, being a child rocks." I finished, giving Loki a light push on the shoulder. "Now I know you feel betrayed, but it's been weeks since I've been laid, now that doesn't mean I don't think you're a fool." I sang, and giggled lightly at the 2 weird looks I got from Tony and Loki.

"So, how's Bruce?" I asked Tony cheekily, poking his shoulder. "Oh, that reminds me, thank you sweetheart. We're going great." I smiled at that. "How're you and Peter?" Tony asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Loki glared at Tony lightly.

"That jerk?" Tony glanced at Loki and chuckled. "Ooh, a little love triangle going on?" He full on laughed, and I looked at Loki, brow furrowed. The hell was Tony talking about?

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"Oh, of course. Love." Thanos' mouth screwed up in a cruel and vicious smile. "I'll just make her choose."

"Father, will that actually work?" Nebula's voice rang from behind the god, and Thanos growled lowly. "Of course. And I know exactly how to do it." Thanos' eyes landed on an image of Tony, and his smile grew wider. "But first, maybe we should let the prisoner go." Nebula suggested.

"Why?" Thanos asked roughly, and the woman smiled slightly, forbidding expression on her face. "Johann Schmidt can bring the Aether when we get it. And after, we should use Mr. Stark."

Thanos gave slow nods. "Yes. There was a reason you were my second favorite daughter. Now you're my favorite." Nebula looked away a moment. "I will try again with the Collector." She said suddenly, before leaving the room.

When she was gone, Thanos turned to another screen beside him. "Mr. Stark is to be used for a later date." A man with one metal arm and medium length hair decked in weapons stood in the image. "But there are other people at my disposal."

Yeah! Sorry it's short but I got side tracked. Yeah for Steve/Natasha! Favorite, follow, review! Also, I'm going to make this Infinity Stone story an arc and put another arc in another story after because

*WARNING: HEAVY, HEAVY, SHARK WEEK HEAVY SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED*

the pairing is with Loki and the guardians of the galaxy will be gone from the next arc

Anyways, follow, favorite, review. I really love reviews. Did I mention I love reviews? If you guess what character was in the image, then… well… you watch Captain America The Winter Soldier…. I don't know what to tell you… it's pretty self-explanatory.

I may be adding Deadpool in, and if I am, I probably will add an OMC (Original Male Character) and make another pairing Wade/OMC/Bucky, but only if you want me to. Uh, yes, I warned about the spoiler so don't get mad at me, I even changed it so it wasn't bold. Um… did I say anything about reviews yet?
