"Damn it…" She mumbled as she fell to the floor. This had been the third time she had fallen while trying to learn what Clint considered "Very easy combat" Which actual meant quite the opposite for her.
Clint went and helped her up "I'm starting to think you like falling Stark."
"Again with the Stark… Call me Alex." She said excepting his help. "And besides I've only been doing this for what? Two weeks now… I think I'm doing pretty good."She said rolling her neck really quick "Now are we gonna try that again or chit chat all day?"
He laughed and took a large sip of his water "Whatever you say…So how's Steve?"
"Excuse me? Didn't I say were never to talk about that…" She said getting into her stance "Just no talking okay…" Just then they went into combat Alex almost fell into the same routine of falling but caught herself and landed the kick she had been trying to land the last few times. She got so excited until it sank it she actually just kicked Clint to the ground "Oh my god… I'm so sorry don't know what came out of me…"
He nodded holding his chest "No worries. That was my bad. I under estimated you…" Alex then helped him up "You should start trying to learn to channel that anger…"
"What anger…" Alex asked confused.
He raised his eyebrow "Alex the moment I mentioned… uh… him you landed that kick and got me down." He tossed her a water "I think if you learn to channel those emotions you will be incredible."
"Well thank you… I will look into that…." She said opening the water.
He then patted her back "Your doing good. Really. But I gotta meet up with Natasha for dinner. I will see you tomorrow right?"
"Yeah… Thanks Clint." She said smiling as they parted there ways. She began heading to her room till she saw someone who looked to be wondering lost. As she got closer she say it was Loki "Oh… Hey finally left your room…" She said leaning against the wall. "Lost?"
He looked over to her "Maybe… This is quite embarrassing. I was looking for the… Kitchen I believe."
"No one's helped you? Everyone is on their way there…" She said confused.
He chuckled to himself "Well not everyone wants to help me. They'd rather me run around and starve."
"I'm sure that isn't true…" She said walking away from the wall "Would you like me to show you to the kitchen?" She offered with a smile. "You've been her for two weeks how have you not found it?" Alex asked worried "You have been eating right?"
He nodded "Thor has been gracious enough to provide me with bread and water… But I've grown tired of hiding in my room. I assumed by now things would have died down and I would be able to get an actual meal." He then turned completely towards her "But that would be lovely if you could show me…"
"Of course I'd be more than happy to…" She said smiling "Follow me this way…" She then head to the kitchen. She got there in less than a minute "See you weren't too far off… Do you want me to show you to the dining room? That's where everyone eats…"
He shook his head "No that isn't necessary. I was just planning on fixing something and going back to my room to eat."
"Well that just sounds lonely…" She said laughing.
He shrugged "Well I'm not the most popular person here."
"Well I don't think you're so bad… I mean not saying the New York incident was um… Okay but you seem to have changed, your helping us now I mean…" She said crossing her arms "How about you eat with me?"
He laughed "Not sure your brother would appreciate that…"
Alex just laughed "And I care why? He may be my big brother but he doesn't run my life. You should understand that better than anyone."
"Oh well the Captain may be upset by it." He said maintain eye contact.
She looked down and sighed "The Captain has been out of the picture for a little while now. I could care less what he appreciates."
"I'm sorry to hear that…" He said sounding truly concerned.
She then looked up did a fake smile "It's fine… But it's just dinner. You shouldn't have to spend all your time alone or with your brother. Everyone needs friends…" She said smiling "Especially here."
"I don't really make friends." He said laughing.
She shrugged "Well never too late to start. Now let's eat…" She said grabbing two salads and two waters. "This way to the dining room…"
When she walked in everyone except Natasha and Clint were there. At first no one paid any mind and just kept with what they were doing and their conversations until they saw Loki sit down at the table with her. "Everyone's staring…" Loki said observing the room.
"So…" Alex said handing him his food.
Just then Tony walked over and cleared his throat "Alex… can I talk to you?"
"No." She said not even looking up "So tell me about being a god. That has to be pretty bad ass…"
Tony sighed upset "Alex. Now."
She finally looked up "No. If you wanna be my bif brother make it full time, not when you feel like it. Now I'm having dinner with my friend here, if you wouldn't mind going away…" She said annoyed.
"Is this you trying to teach me some kind of lesson?" He said crossing his arms.
She laughed "Tony it's not all about you…I'm being friendly. Making friends. What normal people do."
"Yeah normal people don't try to destroy New York and take over Earth because they are having a pissing war with their brother." He said looking at Loki "And yeah that was about you reindeer games."
Loki smirked and looked up "I assumed."
She sighed "You're an ass hole and a bully. You should know better than anyone that people change and we all have past." She then grabbed her water and salad "Loki let's go somewhere else. I'm done with my brothers bull shit."
"Are you stupid…" Tony asked grabbing her hand.
Pulling her arm from him "Well you've already told me you think so." She turned to Loki "Let's go. I'm done here…."
As they were walking she heard Tony mumble "No wonder Steve left you high and dry."
"Tony go to hell…" She said as she left trying not to look at Steve as she left who was sitting watching as everything happened.
