Kris's A/N: Good golly, Miss Molly. My apologies to anyone who doesn't like apples. If it's any consolation to you, I didn't mean it as a REAL insult. I don't like chocolate. That announcement is met by many reactions, not the least of which is "What's wrong with you?". It's all tongue in cheek, darlings. I suppose I'm just used to it, and I take no offense, so I meant no offense, savvy?

EDB's A/N: I thought it was funny. Besides I might do the same thing with this chapter. Oopies.

Emmett was the one who came up with the bright idea "Let's go see a movie." I thought it was awesome. Who doesn't like seeing a movie on the big screen after all? The problem was we couldn't agree on the movie. Emmett wanted to see the latest action flick, Jasper was rooting for a war movie, and Edward wanted to see this indie movie about a folk singer. Emmett kept trying to goad me into picking a chick flick, but, except for a few, I didn't really like chick flicks. I didn't care anyways. Any movie was good with me.

With the three boys unable to agree however, and none of them of them willing give in, we decided to just go home and watch a movie there. With our multitude of dvds, blu-rays, and not to mention Netflix and Hulu subscriptions I didn't see how this was any better.

"Dude." Emmett groaned. "We are not watching Saving Private Ryan again. How many times have you seen that fucking movie anyway?"

"I don't know. How many times have you seen Die Hard?" Jasper countered.

"Die Hard is the greatest movie ever made."

"Oh please. Die Hard isn't within the top hundred movies made."

I tuned them out as they continued to bicker. Movie tastes were way too subjective for four people to agree on one.

Edward was flipping through the pages of my dvd binder with half a smirk on his lips.

"What's so funny now?" Over the last week, we had gotten along better, and I'd learned Edward had a wicked sense of humor. It was a little biting at times, but he didn't mean to be rude no matter what he said about being an asshole.

"Just you. I can't figure you out." He laughed as he turned page after page. "I have never known any girl who can go from The Avengers, to Pretty Woman, to Kenneth Branagh's film production of Hamlet. I thought my mother was the only who watched that."

"Have you ever seen Robin Williams doing Shakespeare? It's the greatest thing on Earth. I have the David Tennant's version too."

"I noticed." His green eyes sparked with amusement. "Wouldn't it be easier to pick one?"

"People who like one thing are boring." I shrugged. "I like complication. It makes things more interesting."

"It makes things more difficult," Edward muttered.

"Says the pot calling the kettle black."

"Touché."

With Emmett and Jasper still arguing, Edward and I made an executive decision, picked a movie, and ordered Emmett and Jasper to the living room.

Emmett, Jasper, and I squished on the couch with Edward on a nearby armchair. We shared popcorn and enjoyed watching a bunch of superheroes beat the living hell out of each other.

We were almost halfway through the movie when we began comparing each each other to the characters on screen.

"Emmett is clearly Thor." I muttered around a mouthful of popcorn.

"What? No Emmett is the Hulk." Jasper grinned. "Look at him. All we'd need to do is paint him green."

"I think I found some green paint in the garage."

"I hate to break it to the both of you." Edward almost sounded bored, but I didn't miss the smug superiority in his tone either. "But Emmett is clearly Iron Man."

"Iron Man? How?"

Edward held up his fingers, ticking them off one by one. "First, Iron Man has a terrible history with women."

"I wouldn't start with that Little Brother."

"Two, Iron Man drinks far too much."

"I can stop anytime I want to."

"Three, Iron Man is overconfident and far too smart for his own good."

"Yeah? Well then you're Loki, 'cause you're an asshole."

"Loki isn't an asshole. He's damaged." To be honest I'm not quite sure if I was defending Loki or Edward.

Emmett snorted. "Loki tries to take over the world, kills thousands of people and you call him damaged?"

"I didn't say he wasn't guilty, just that he didn't have the best upbringing and that caused some of his problems. I wouldn't want to be raised by Odin."

"Okay, so..." Jasper eased into the role of peacemaker just as he always did. "For obvious reasons, Emmett is Iron Man and Edward is Loki. Who are Bella and I?"

They mulled it over for several seconds before Emmett found the appropriate pairing. "Clearly Jasper is Hawkeye."

"Hawkeye? Why the fuck am I Hawkeye?"

"Because you're pretty and pretty much useless."

"Emmett." I let my best teacher voice come out. I understand the guys ragging on each other, but sometimes they took it a little too far. I had taken it upon myself to correct them in those instances. "That wasn't very nice."

"Aw, he knows I love him." Emmett waved me off. "Now who is she?"

"She's Captain America." Edward didn't take his eyes off the screen, but I felt like he was looking at me. "All heart and spunk, yet still manages to kick ass."

"Did you just compliment her?" Emmett and Jasper each began to tease Edward, but I tuned them out. I was still in awe of what he had said. My cheeks turned red, and I found I couldn't look at him. I had no idea what to make of that.

The movie ended, and Edward and Jasper went to bed. Emmett went to get some more food and I put in the next movie.

"What are you watching?" he asked as he wandered back in.

"Pretty Woman."

He glanced down the hallway toward Edward's room and up the stairs toward Jasper's before sitting next to me. "If you tell anyone I watched this and enjoyed it, I will fart in your bed."

"My lips are sealed."

Much love to songster for her help!

Alright, how's everyone doing so far?
