Disclaimer- I lied in the previous chapter. I am not a purple platypus. Nor do I own the avengers. I only own my OC. I have another awesome reviewer to add up here- TheRainbowGirl! I forgot to add you in the last chapter. Sorry.

Tony's POV (Again)

On my way up to the roof, I racked my brain for ways to explain Hope's absence. The truth was not an option. (That we had tried to pull a prank on them, Thor mistaking Hope for a missing royal treasure and taking her to Asgard, etcetera.) Also Bruce had been correct in diagnosing me as being slightly drunk, which did not help.

Sadly, when we reached the roof, there were no glowing teenagers to be seen. I did a very logical thing at that moment.

I jumped off the roof.

Bruce's POV

I honestly don't think anyone was surprised when Tony jumped off the roof. I always figured he would end up doing that one day. But I had assumed he would be more drunk then he currently was.

I glanced over the edge of the roof to make sure his new remote-recall system was working. Sure enough, what looked like a red and gold missile shot out from a lower window and he ended up flying away quite nicely.

Have you ever seen those crime scene shows where they use logical deduction to figure out whodunit? Well, only one other person (except for maybe Pepper, and she was in her office) was in the building at the time of the crime.

We all looked at Steve.

Hope's POV

I honestly didn't think things could get any worse as Thor lugged me up to the Allfather's throne. I mean, Tony and I try to play a simple prank and it escalates into this calamity. Wonderful. On top of that, all these Asgardians were practically worshiping me. The aicock was apparently the symbol of victory in Asgard, and it had gone missing centuries ago. Thor had now found me, and I fit the bill perfectly. Just great.

Odin was staring at me with wide eyes. "After all these years…" he murmured, and stroked my feathers. "The great bird has returned to us! Thank you, my son, for returning my good friend to her home. Tonight, a feast shall be held to celebrate!"

Thor nodded eagerly. "Yes, father." He said, and jumped through a portal, leaving me stranded here. And I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Bruce's POV

Steve looked quite panicky. I couldn't really blame him. As Thor came back though his portal, he now had four confused and rather angry (except for Thor who was just confused) superheroes wanting to know where the heck Hope was.

Thor interrupted our little staredown. "Ho! My friends! What transpires here? Where is the Man of Iron?"

Natasha sighed. "Tony jumped off the roof and flew away. We're pretty sure Cap knows why, but he won't tell us."

Thor turned to Cap, who looked like he was being pulled in two directions at once.

Thor shrugged and boomed, "These matters are trivial! Tonight my father is hosting a grand feast to celebrate the return of the aicock to Asgard. You are all invited. All of Asgard will be present."

Steve yelled, "It's not an aicock! It's Hope!"

Everybody on the roof fell silent, including Natasha and Clint who were arguing about whether knifes or arrows were better. So, that's saying something.

Thor frowned at Steve. "What be thy meaning, Captain?"

Steve hesitated for a moment, and then spilled the whole story. We sat transfixed until the end when Thor boomed, "Then there is no time to lose. We must rescue Hope before the feast!"

Sorry for the cliffie and short chapter. I will update soon, promise. Oh, and PLEASE review. It means a lot to me.
