Two chapters, albeit terribly short, in a half hour? I deserve some props at least? Ha ha so enjoy the second joke chapter. The next one has much more plot.

Thor: The Dark World

All the Avengers hadn't met up since the Battle of New York, but that didn't mean Skye couldn't keep an eye on them. Thor was by far the hardest for Skye to track, considering he was never on earth, so she did the best she could and tracked Jane Foster.

Hence how she knew Jane had disappeared only minutes after Darcy had realized it. "Hey Clint," Skye told her partner not even bothering to knock on the door. "Thor's girlfriend Jane Foster just literally disappeared off the face of the earth. I think we should probably head to England to see if everything is okay, for Thor's sake."

Clint spun around in his spinney chair and gave Skye an amused look. "I'm sure Jane is fine. She's a grown woman. We don't need to fly to England just because she hasn't updated her Facebook status."

Skye actually had much more sophisticated ways of tracking people, so she just scowled in Clint's direction. "If it was Laura missing and no one knew how to contact you would you not want the rest of the team to rally for her?"

"But it's not Laura," Clint reminded her surprised the girl so flagrantly would compare his sensible wife to Thor's 'girlfriend' of a whole week. "Laura would have the sense not to fall through a portal or something. She's fine. If you find out otherwise then we can go to England. Until then I'm just going to assume you just want some tea or something."

Sometimes Clint's sarcastic personality was endearing. Other times Skye very much wondered if she'd get in trouble for letting him bleed out on a mission. "Fine," Skye huffed knowing Clint was not moving (and she couldn't fly a plane.) "But if she's in trouble we are going to help."

"Jane just showed up," Skye told a very smug Clint a few hours later. "And suddenly she had some weird seismic energy bursting out of her. Now can we go make sure everything is okay?"

Clint actually sat forward in his chair this time. "Where is she now?"

"Reports seem like Thor took her, which means probably Asgard." Finally she was getting somewhere! They needed to go help a friend, a teammate, and maybe Clint would actually let her this time.

Or not. "If they're on Asgard how are we supposed to trace them?" Clint posed sitting back in his chair. "Go finish your paperwork."

"But!"

"Paperwork!" Clint bellowed loud enough to draw every look to them. "Or I'll tell Maria that you have been copy-pasting things I said."

Skye felt a sense of duty to Thor, but she was far more terrified of Maria finding out she'd been skimping when it came to paperwork. That woman could be a menace.

Skye managed to stay away until that night, but eventually she had enough. Not caring about the hour, Skye drove right into the Barton farm, woke everyone, including baby Lila, up, and demanded to speak to Clint.

"What, what? Who's on fire!"

"There are freaking portals to space open again! Now can we go to Greenwich and help Thor!"

Skye thought she'd gotten somewhere when they entered the house, but Clint instead just handed her Lila and the toddler's Sippy cup. "By the time we get there the earth will either have been destroyed or Thor will have dealt with it. Either way we're not going, but since you have plenty of energy feel free to sit here with Lila until she goes back to sleep."

Skye honestly thought it couldn't get any worse until the Barton's were watching the news the next morning and the world apparently hadn't ended. Clint turned to her at the clip of Thor flying away and smiled. "See, I told you would be fine."

There were a lot of days when Skye hated being an Avenger.
