Hope's POV
OH MY GOD. After Fury heard my story, he just stood there for a full minute, then turned to Tony and said, "New team member. Your problem. Fury out." Then he dashed away leaving both of us slack-jawed. Steve had missed the whole thing because he went to make a sandwich. He frowned at our slack-jawy-ness, and then sighed. He said, "Tony, Pepper wants to go on a date tonight."
And Tony was back to normal. Actually, so was I. It seemed we were both equally surprised.
BUT WHO CARES! I'M AN AVENGER! EEEEEEEEEE!
Tony immediately started shouting at Steve for lying. I couldn't care less because of afore-mentioned squee.
Tony had apparently lost the argument, because he grumbled over the bar to have a drink. Or maybe he won. Or most likely, he was just being Tony.
Steve looked at me apologetically. "I'll call the other Avengers. You should figure out how to turn him into a duck."
I grinned and nodded.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Steve hurried over to get it. "You two ready?" he whispered over his shoulder.
Tony and I nodded in unison. You see, once he was sober, Tony had asked me if he wanted to help him play a prank on the other heroes. He had gotten Steve in on it as well.
The door swung open revealing a demigod, a man with BREATHTAKING anger management issues, and two master assassins. They all stopped in the doorway, wondering where I was.
I was sitting on Tony's shoulder. Normally not a comfortable or inconspicuous place to sit, but that was for all you humans out there.
I was currently in the shape of a golden pheasant and was glowing quite brightly.
Dr. Banner raised his eyebrows at Tony. "So, uh, where's the new recruit?
Tony shrugged. "Dunno."
Natasha glared at him. "Are you saying you lost her? And what's with the glowing bird?"
"Indeed." Thor piped up. "Tis an odd creature. It radiates light magic."
Tony shrugged again. "She said she was freaked out by the prospect of seeing you guys, and needed a little breathing space. She's probably on the roof. And Pepper volunteered on my behalf for us to take care of this guy. SHEILD found it near the bifrost site and needed someone to look after it."
Thor frowned. "The creature resembles my father's aicock, the Asgardian royal bird. I shall take it home."
Tony and I exchanged a startled glance. This was definitely not part of the prank.
On top of that, I couldn't change back.
Flare! Why can't I change back?
I have temporarily trapped you in that form so that you will learn a lesson about using your powers for entertainment.
Well, lesson learned. Please change me back?
No.
Thor picked me up and opened a portal to Asgard with his crazy hammer and jumped through. As bad as my predicament was, I couldn't help noticing how pretty Asgard was. The bifrost was pretty incredible. I wondered idly how they had fixed it so fast as Thor strolled up to the castle.
The guard saluted. "Hail, Odinson! What brings you back to Asgard!"
Thor smiled. "Stand down, Stulor Abryson. I bring good tidings. I found the aicock on Midgard!"
The guard's eyes widened visibly as Thor held me up. "This must be brought to Lord Odin's attention immediately!" the guard exclaimed as he hauled the heavy doors open. Thor walked briskly through the palace until I found myself in front of Lord Odin.
Oh boy.
Tony's POV
I knew we were in trouble the moment Thor said Tis. It just wasn't BIG trouble until Sunny got mistaken for a royal treasure and hauled off to Asgard. Now it was big trouble
"So, the roof then?" Natasha offered as me and Steve attempted smiles.
"Yeah." I said weakly. "Sure. Yeah."
Bruce glared at me. "Tony, have you been drinking?"
Okay, I think I'll stop there. And no, there is no such thing as an aicock. I made it up. Please read and review? Thanks.
