It's all done after this! I've had soooo much fun writing it, and I want to thank everyone who has read up until now.
But we aren't quite finished just yet. . .
"Steve, you almost look normal without your star spangled suit on," Tony joked.
Everyone laughed, even Steve, though he looked like he could take a swing at Tony any minute. Tony and Pepper, although Atea suspected it was mainly Pepper, invited the team to Stark Tower for a night. It was the first time they'd been together as one since Thor and Loki left, two weeks ago. Atea had visited Stark Towers twice before, mainly because she wanted to see what the entire thing looked like and to see Tony and Bruce too, of course.
"At least my suit isn't my primary weapon." He grinned, Tony didn't.
Clint interjected before things got serious, "Hey, where's the food? I'm starving."
"Me too," Atea agreed, "listening to you two make fun of each other really does burn calories."
Tony and Steve laughed, then Pepper led them to the dining room.
After a few more hours of eating and joking, Atea's parents called, they wanted her home.
"Atea, tell them that the world's richest and coolest man will drop you off later. You can stay the night even. It's what - a Saturday tomorrow?"
"Actually, it's a Thursday, but I'm tempted to take you up on that offer." It was tempting, but Atea wasn't going to ignore her parents. They were still getting the hang of having a daughter with superpowers, but that wasn't going to make them think that she wasn't still an average sixteen year old.
"A Thursday? Really?" Tony looked genuinely confused.
"For those of us who actually have a routine each day, we need to know the days. Unlike some people apparently."
"Well, at least let us drop you off." Tony insisted.
"Go ahead, but how will we all fit?"
"It'll work, trust me."
Surprisingly, it did work. Steve, Banner, Nat and Clint were squished in the back of a large Beamer SUV. Tony and Atea sat up at the front.
When they pulled up to her house a few minutes later, they all wished her goodbye and good luck in school. Nat shot out of the car to give Atea a hug, then ran to the front seat, giggling as all the men in the back whined.
She watched as they drove away, then headed back to her house.
"When are you going to hang out with other people your age again?" Atea's father asked her.
"Well, when you find out about another sixteen year old with powers like mine, tell me and we can figure something out. Besides, I thought you'd be happy that I'm hanging out with the world's richest man."
He had nothing to say to that.
She walked to her bedroom, where Sylvester was lying. She was surprised that he was alive after all. She changed quickly then got into bed and turned the light out immediately, exhaustion taking over.
Sleep came quickly, but didn't last for long. A few hours later, Atea awoke. This time, without any weird visions. But in the darkness, she could see a figure.
"Loki."
Atea knew it all along, that he'd come back for her.
The end! I really hope you guys enjoyed it.
Thanks for reading!
