An: I'm truly sorry, extremely worried and in an explaining mood.

First, I haven't been on here in a long time. I could say school or writers block (both of which are reasons), but I got lazy, and read more than wrote. For some reason, it's hard for me to write because I think about nothing else, but then have nothing to write.

Secondly, anyone who has ever reviewed one of my stories has said nice things, for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you.

Third, I got a new account! It's on the profile for this account. (I also put my tumblr up there, the name was changed. I have a tag, 'avengers', and it serves as a marvel and superheroes otherwise tag.)

Fourth, here's a treat for my inexcusable abscence!


Avengers Assemble-y:

"Well, I... didn't want you to get hurt. There are people out there that'll stop at nothing to defeat and kill me. They'll take you, hold you hostage, kill you, just to get to me. Also, how can I be a hero when I couldn't even save my uncle? How could you know that I'm a superhero, out there saving the day, when my uncle- your husband- died because of me?"

May was shocked. "Peter, his death was not your fault. I couldn't be more proud of you, in fact. You save people everyday. You are amazing."

Maybe May didn't quite approve of the hobby Peter had picked up, but he was a hero, an actual hero, one who saved lives on the daily. She could deal with Spider-Man, for now, at least.


Missing Scenes:

The couple sits in the bed for a redacted amount of time, kissing occasionally, but mostly making small talk about their team members. They simply bask in the moment, not having to save the world or something worse, deal with Tony's snark And resist the temptation of clocking him right in the jaw.

!#$%^&*()_+

"So, how are our favorite contradictions doing, hmmm?" Tony asked Thor as the bigger man strode down the hall.

Thor frowned, "contradiction?"

"It means something against the normal or expected, Thor." Jan stated, looking over Hank's shoulder. She looked up, concern written on her face. "How are they?"

"The good Captain and Lady Natalie are as well as can be expected, friends."

Clint groaned and Hank hummed under his breath. Jan and Tony smirked, "time to interrupt!" They chirped, completely in sync.


Carry Me Home:

Natasha grinned evilly, knowing the girls were probably having a talk. The men of the tower knew of said talks, but not what was said. Once, Tony tried to listen in, but she'd found out. During that talk, Pepper had said some terrible things about how Tony was in bed, and moral of the story, he didn't try to listen again.

Tony snorting and damm near giggling, followed by a shriek of "It made a joke!", broke her out of her thoughts.

"What! I can't! He wants me to go undercover, when I can not even walk! And I don't appreciate being called an 'it', Stark."

!#$%^&*()_+

"Clint, what are you thinking about?" Bruce asked pleasantly, smiling at the other man. Thor had taken it upon himself to sleep, spread eagle as possible on the couch, and with the girls still in the other room, it was silent. Save Thor's snores, of course. "Darcy?"

"Yeah. I'm her senior by many a year, Bruce. She's gonna get bored of me at some point. What if I'm not good enough for her?" He asked lowly, mindful of Thor.

"Clint... Darcy is a smart person. She knows what she's getting into." Bruce replied, placatingly.

"Does she, though? Is she ready for my stupid ass to get hurt all of the time? Is she ready for me to be gone, for a mission or because I was taken? Hell, it took me years to get used to it!"

"She'll be fine, I swear."

"How do you know that?"

"Because she's been subjected to Asgardians." He glanced over Clint's shoulder, "and she's behind us."

Clint whipped around, coming face to face with Darcy. She smiled. "Such faith you have, huh, Clint?"

So! I hope this makes up for my laziness. This is only three of my stories, but the others are finished or just discontinued. Again, if you need to reach me for whatever reason, my contact info is at the top of my profile, or my tumblr thingy. God bless! :D
