The sun hadn't yet set, but the pub was still overflowing with patrons. Seven of these patrons crowded around a table outside, food and drink in front of them.
"What time's the flight tomorrow?" Tony asked, looking at the beer menu.
"Early enough that you would be miserable with a hangover." Steve replied, picking away at his Scotch Egg. Tony shrugged and ordered anyways.
"But seriously though," Bruce picked up, checking his watch, "when do we need to leave?"
"We need to be outside the hotel at 6:30 tomorrow morning, there's a driver who will take us and our luggage right to the terminal." Steve explained. "They've boxed up a breakfast for us, too."
"At least this flight won't be as long as the one home from Australia." Natasha remarked, sipping her mixed drink. "Don't have to listen to Thor snoring for 16 hours."
Thor looked up briefly from his fish and chips, but then returned to his meal.
"Let's see, what do we have to check off the bucket list from this trip." Clint said, pulling out his phone. "White water rafting in Voss, kayaking on the fjord, riding the Tubeā¦"
"First person to find a picture of one of us passed out can drive one of my cars." Tony shouted, and he, Loki, Clint, and Natasha started to furiously flip through their respective cameras.
"I'm glad we got to see Buckingham Palace." Bruce said, though no one was really paying him any mind.
"Found one!" Natasha said, turning her camera around.
"Hey, you didn't take that one!" Clint said. It was a picture of Natasha, head resting on the shoulder of an equally comatose Thor, during the horrible ghost bus tour the first night. "I took it, so that means I win!"
"I found one of Tony in the lake." Loki said, and everyone crowded around to see. All except for Tony, who was grumbling about the team ganging up on him.
"Well, Steve-o, you planned the trip, how'd it go?" Tony asked, stealing one of Steve's fries.
"Hmm," Steve started, reaching over and stealing one of Tony's fries, "Given that 64 images off my memory card weren't wasted on some unimportant rock, I think it went pretty well."
"I thought the fjords were beautiful." Natasha added.
"I liked the food." Bruce remarked.
"Leave it to Bruce to like goat cheese." Clint said, earning some side-eye from said scientist.
"Although, I will say, you've been picking all the trips lately." Natasha brought up. "I want to pick the next one."
Steve shrugged. "I'll take suggestions."
And at that moment, six different people shouted out seven different answers (Clint shouted out two). Steve held up his hands. "Ok, ok, I'll look into it."
Little did they know, he was already formulating in his mind another team trip, one to a much warmer, peninsular location.
As the sun went down, each of them started to recall some amusing anecdote from the trip, whether it be Steve accidentally knocking over a chair in Buckingham Palace to Tony ordering a "cat" of coffee in Oslo. The bar was still in full swing when they decided to pay the tab and head back to the hotel. On the way, they passed the black double decker bus from the ghost tour.
Everyone booed.
And that is all! I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour through Norway and London. Cookies to those who can guess where in the world the Avengers will be going next!
Cheers!
