Nothing Will Ever Bring Us Back Together

Chapter Eleven- The Cafe

CAFE IN LA

Jane and Blaze were in Los Angeles, where Darcy was living at the moment. Permanently. Thor had been called to Asgard by his father, and suggested that Jane and Blaze visit Darcy as they hadn't seen her in a while and he could tell Jane was missing her. Most Gods do have a sixth sense. Thor had dropped them at the airport and left for Asgard. Darcy, Jane, Blaze and Finn (Darcy's son), were sitting in a café chatting. Darcy and Jane couldn't believe that they hadn't seen each other in over as year.

"So, yeah, Jane, how's New Mexico? How's Thor? How's Selvig been since I came back here? Sometimes I miss home so much." Darcy said.

"Oh, Eric's doing great, New Mexico's ok, same as always I suppose. Thor, he's Thor. I love him and he is crazy." Jane replied. The woman at the table next to them suddenly looked up from her BlackBerry and stared at Jane. She had strawberry blonde hair and reminded Jane of someone, who she didn't know though.

"Excuse me but are you Jane Foster?" She asked.

"Err, formerly now Odinson." Jane replied.

"Oh my God." The strawberry blonde said. Jane stared at her and looked like she thought she was crazy, which she probably did. "Oh, I'm Pepper."

"Like Pepper Stark, Tony Stark, Pepper?" Darcy asked. She had made the connection immediately.

"Yes." Pepper replied.

"I want to get the Avengers back together." Jane stated. She thought that it had been good for him.

"As do I." Pepper said.

"I do too!" Darcy said, "Do you have any idea where the others are, Bruce, Clint, Natasha, Steve?"

"I think my daughter's pen pal is Bruce's daughter, her name is Lilly Banner and Ella said her mum was called Betty and father Bruce." Pepper said.

"I have Steve's phone number." Jane said.

"Tony said he saw Natasha a few weeks ago, she confirmed that a girl called Katya was her daughter and she is in my son's class and still is." Pepper said.

"That's everyone... If Natasha is with Clint." Darcy said. She was right. Maybe, as a group the three women could bring the Avengers back together.

"Are you free anytime next week?" Pepper asked. She knew that Lilly was coming to stay next week, could they get Bruce to come to?

"Yeah, all week probably but Thor is coming back on Saturday and we were only going to stay one more night with Darcy-" Jane said.

"Your welcome to stay at our house." Pepper offered.

"Cool, that ok Darce?" Jane asked.

"Yep as long as I get some credit for bringing them back." Darcy said.

"Darcy, you can stay too." Pepper offered.

"M'okay, I live round here, but I want to come to the party, if there is one." Darcy said.

"Yeah sure, I'm sure your little one will want a friend. What are your names?" Pepper asked Blaze and Finn, ashamed of ignoring them so far.

"I'm Blaze and-" Blaze said.

"I'm Finn-" Finn said.

"I was going to say that, Finn." Blaze said.

"Well I said it first!" Finn said.

"Argh, you are so annoying!" Blaze said.

"I know I am but catch me if you can!" Finn said as he ran off, Blaze went to chase him.

"In case you didn't catch that, mine's called Finn and Jane's is Blaze."

"Nice names. My oldest is called Ella, youngest Joe. Do you know the names of any of the others' kids?"

"Steve's got a little girl called Alice. I haven't seen any of the others since the split."

"If it is Bruce's daughter she is called Lilly and she has a twin brother whose name I don't know. I think Clint and Natasha's daughter is called Katya, but that's a nickname and I believe her real one is something Russian, and I think they have son is called Ethan, I'm not sure though."

"Okay, so what day next week?" Jane asked.

"I'm not sure, what's your phone number and I'll text you." Pepper replied. They exchanged numbers and Pepper left. She was happy that she was one step closer to bringing the Avengers back together. Jane and Darcy found their sons and went back to Darcy's house. Jane was happy that Blaze hadn't been listening in to that Avengers malarkey, she was not planning to tell him any time soon, and by the sounds of it, neither were any of the others. As long as Blaze was not going to get pulled in to any missions, she was ok. Thor couldn't die, but they didn't want to test Blaze. Maybe Blaze could make some new friends with the other Avengers' kids. Alice was great, her and Blaze had emailed a few times, the other kids should be ok too.
