A/N: Sorry this chapter is a bit shorter. I ran out of ideas until I started to realize that this is getting nowhere. Thank you to those who followed and to the one and only reviewer :)))) I'm really hoping to get more reviews, favorites and followers. I apologize for the wrong grammar. I'm not American and english is not my primary language so yes... The next chapter will be coming probably next week. :)))


Chapter 2

They were ready. They were already loading their things in Tony's private jet. Tony, Clint, Thor and Bruce were already getting settled and making themselves comfortable in their seats. The men were already planning what to do once they get there. Steve and Natasha were still outside the jet having small talk and Jane busy talking to Erik on the phone.

'You excited?' Natasha asked.

Steve shrugged. 'What's there to be excited?'

'Actually, there's nothing. Just want to have some peace of mind from SHIELD and all.'

Steve smirked. 'Yup, peace of mind with those bozos.' He pointed out to the ones who were already inside the jet.

She laughed a little. 'Clint actually brought 12 boxes of beer.'

'Speaking of... I know there's something with you and Clint.' He looked at her.

She looked at him back giving the look of not wanting to talk about it. He got what she's trying to say.

'Nevermind. Shall we head inside?'

Natasha glanced at the jet and turned back. 'Sure.'

They both climbed inside. Steve saw an empty seat beside Bruce and joined him. The seat beside Clint's also empty. Thor's and Tony's as well but they're probably saving for their other halves that gave Natasha no choice but to sit with Clint. It's no big deal, she thought. So she went and sat beside Clint.

'Hey.' She smiled.

'Hey.' He smiled back.

Jane's still talking on the phone with Erik. They were talking about the energy transmitter they were working on. Pepper saw her and shouted from the entrance.

'Jane, let's go!'

She looked back at Pepper and gave her the hand signal to wait then she turned back.

'Sorry, Erik. I gotta go. We'll talk this next week. Just make sure Darcy and her intern weren't doing anything stupid, okay? Bye.'

Jane ran to the jet which was ready to leave. She entered and sat beside Thor and noticed Tony looking at her from his seat on the other side. The jet had just started to move.

'Why are you looking at me?' She shrugged.

Tony lowered his shades. 'You know I love you with all my heart and arc reactor but if you were still on the phone for 5 seconds more, it's bye- bye for you.'

Jane rolled her eyes and shook her head.

She looked to her other side to see her man viewing from the window. And he was quiet. Usually, Thor would ask Jane anything he's seen.

'Hey... Are you okay?' She caressed his arms.

'I'm fine.' He looked back at her.

'You're quiet.'

She studied him. She knew he missed his brother and his mother whom he lost. She didn't have to ask that. She leaned her head on to his shoulder as her circled his arms around her.

'I know you're thinking about your Loki and your mom. I'm here in case you needed someone to talk.' She whispered.

He nodded and kissed her forehead. 'I shall remember that.'

He studied her. He studied how beautiful Jane was and how caring she was. He never thought he'd fall in love with a mortal. He always imagined ending up with an Asgardian or perhaps Sif (but he never felt anything for her, not even the slightest). For him, Jane was more than just a mortal. She's strong, smart and a brave warrior herself. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be the man he is now. For the past 3 days they've been together, he never felt free and happier.

Steve was reading the newspaper. Then he noticed his seatmate, Bruce who was staring at the window. Bruce was the quietest of all. Sure, he did make a couple of jokes and even engaged in parties thrown by Tony Stark. But he was quiet all the time.

'Have you ever been in a Jamboree?' Steve asked.

Bruce turned to Steve. 'Jamboree as in like a fun camping?'

He nodded.

'No. I haven't. The last camping I've been to was in 6th grade and all I ever did was to make flags and then get thrown by roasted marshmallows. 3rd grade was worst and I rather not talk about it.'

Steve nodded. 'What do you think about what's gonna happen this week?'

'I have no idea but I'm looking forward for some relaxation maybe by the lake. Or go fishing...'

'Yeah... Me too but with Tony around, I'm not sure we're going to get as much relaxation as we want. This guy won't give up til we all give in. Remember that strip club he dragged us in to?'

Bruce nodded. 'Exactly. What about Thor?'

Steve smirked. 'I don't know. He's not from around here but I wanna see how it works if he gets under Tony's spell.

They laughed.

Finally, they arrived. They jet landed on a terminal in Wisconsin. Then they all transferred to a coaster with their things and then travel to Pepper's cabin. After an hour, they finally got to their destination. Everyone went down and observed the surroundings around them. Clint, Steve and Bruce looked at the cabin and it was not what expected. They expected the cabin to be bigger and perhaps have at least two floors but this was a bungalow. Just a simple one with a chimney.

Tony removed his shades and wrapped his arm around his fiancé as they viewed the house.

'This baby hasn't changed.' He murmured.

Pepper smiled. 'I know. The last time we've been here was in 2004.' Then she walked towards the patio and to the door to unlock it.

Everyone else followed and entered. It was a medium size house. The kitchen is located on the left from the entrance door; the living room is right across on the right with an L shaped couch facing the fireplace and the rectangular dining table in the center with 8 seats.

'Wow.' Jane smiled.

'I think were okay in this.' Natasha nodded.

Tony grabbed his and Pepper's bag and headed to the master's bedroom. 'I'm gonna get our stuff inside the room and the rest of you go nuts.'

Pepper rolled her eyes. 'Okay. So there are 3 doors over there. Two of them have a queen sized bed and the other one has 2 single beds so decide where you want to stay.'

Natasha grabbed Jane's hand. 'Good. We're staying in one room.'

Jane hesitated. 'Um, what? But I...' She glanced at Thor.

'I know I'm sorry but I really need a female companion. You still get to spend time with your boyfriend.'

'I know but I really want to be with Thor.'

Natasha gave her the look. 'Just come on. We don't want to hear noises at night.'

Jane dropped her mouth. She and Thor haven't had sex yet and it's not like they're not going to do it but they're taking it slow.

'What? We're not gonna-'

'You wouldn't know... So, are you gonna stay with me?'

Jane sighed in defeat. 'Okay, fine.'

She smiled and gave her friend a hug. 'Good. I'll get settled in the 2 beds.'

Clint heard what Natasha said about nabbing the 2 beds.

'What about us?' Clint asked. 'You seriously can't get the 2 beds.'

Natasha smirked. 'I'm serious. There's nothing wrong with two guys sleeping in one bed.'

Both agents faced each other giving each other looks.

'Why can't you and Jane just get the one bed? It's not awkward with ladies but with guys.'

She scoffed. 'Why would it be awkward? No, wait, are you thinking that if guys sleep together in one bed, you're assuming they're gay?'

Jane laughed.

'No, now don't be a baby and leave the two beds. It's just how men are, Nat. And we don't assume the gay thing.'

Natasha gave him a cold look. 'Fine.'

Jane was about to grab her bags when Thor stopped her.

'Hold on, Jane. We're not staying in one chamber?'

Jane sighed. 'I'm so sorry, Thor. Natasha insisted that we stay in one room. You might as well stay with Clint or Bruce or Steve.'

He cupped her cheeks and looked at her. 'But I want to be with you, Jane.'

She held his hand rested on her face. 'I know, me too but Natasha needs someone now, preferably, me. And this is your chance to get to know these guys.'

He nodded.

She held both of his hand and gripped them tightly. 'Don't worry. We're still going to be together. Just not when we sleep, though I'm gonna miss you.'

'As do I.'

She slowly smiled as she lifted her chin up to kiss him.

'Hey. Less kissing, more unpacking.' Steve shouted.

They parted. 'Right.' Jane nodded and grabbed her bags and headed to her and Natasha's room.

Clint sighed. 'Alright, boys. Let's decide which room and who's staying with whom.'

'Dibs on 1 of the 2 beds.' Steve raised his hand.

'Me too.' Clint raised. 'I guess Thor and Bruce need to stay on one bed.' He laughed.

'Ha ha.' Bruce said. 'I'm not in to staying in one of the rooms. I like it here on the sofa by the fireplace.'

'So, I get that room?' Thor asked.

'All yours, big guy.' Bruce patted his friend's shoulder.

Thor smiled and grabbed his stuff.

Tony went out of their room wearing a black sando and a beige shorts. He was all ready for a walk in the woods.

'Say, boys, how 'bout we all go hiking? We can leave our girls here to do the rest of the job.'

'Tony!' Pepper shouted from the room.

'Oops.' He shrugged. 'I'm kidding, honey. I'll hel you unpack by the time we come back.' He shouted back.

'Yeah, sure. Just give us a moment to unpack.' Clint said.

Moments later, Pepper exited to the kitchen only to find out that there were still bags and boxes that were unpacked. She remember assigning those to Tony and Clint but they didn't seem to finish their job or didn't even do their job at all. She shook her head in disappointment. Then she saw Jane and Natasha went out of their room. They noticed the look on Pepper's face.

'Something wrong?' Natasha asked.

Pepper shrugged. 'Boys will be boys. Please help me arrange these things.'

'Where are they, anyway?' Jane asked.

'They went out hiking.'

'Let me guess, they left without finishing their task here?' Natasha asked.

'Tony and Clint.'

Jane nodded. 'Are you eve sure you wanna marry Tony Stark? I mean, no offense but this guy has a mind of a 10 year old but genius.'

Pepper sighed. 'Now that you mentioned it, I don't even know what to do with him. Him and his idiotic friends so called the Avengers. Except you, Nat of course. Including your boyfriend as well. He's starting to act like them.' She pointed to Jane.

'I'll make sure he won't be your fiancés bitch.' Jane swore.

Then there came silence. The ladies just stood thinking what to do with those men.

'So...' Natasha broke the silence. 'What do you think they're doing now?' She looked at both of them.

'Probably hunting and killing animals with their weapons.' Pepper said.

'Or... Swimming?' Jane asked unsurely.

'Wanna check them out?'

Pepper and Jane looked at each other.

'Sure. After we get all their jobs done here.'

Then they all continued unpacking and arranging what needed to be done.
