An eerie calm came over the city the night Loki was finally taken into custody by his brother Thor. The next day though the news had finally gotten a handle on many different stories from survivors from the of the attack. Children talked excitedly about seeing the different heroes, others talked of how thankful that the Avengers were there. But other citizens weren't happy; they were mad and scared. They wanted the Avengers to pay for their actions of destroying their city while also trying to save it, and were scared that they were being kept in the dark about these heroes and aliens.
Speaking of the Avengers all 7 heroes had met in Central Park, one of the few places not destroyed from the Chitauri invasion, to send off Thor and contained Loki. Beatrice walked up next to Tony who had given her a ride dressed in denim shorts and a loose black and white blouse. Her black sneakers kicked a small rock in front of her and rolled away to the side as she and the rest of the Avengers grouped together. Doctor Selvig who had broken out of Loki's control during the battle walked over to the group with a large glass case as Thor made his goodbyes. When he reached Beatrice, he didn't know if she would allow him to shake her hand, so the two just stood face to face in a short awkward silence.
It was Beatrice who broke the awkwardness when she lifted her hand to Thor, who was looking at it shocked. But he composed himself and shook her hand, "It was an honor to meet you, Lady Beatrice."
"You too, Thor." Beatrice said with a small smile on her face.
After saying their goodbyes, Tony opened the briefcase he had brought with him and carried it over to Bruce and Doctor Selvig. Inside lied the Tesseract that Thor was going to take back to Asgard, making sure it never falls into the wrong hands again. Bruce uses largely enforced tongs to pick up the Tesseract and place it in the glass case. Beatrice, who was standing next to Steve, looked up and saw the serious look he was sporting as he stared at the stone.
"So you're bringing it back to Asgard?" Beatrice asked Thor as he held the case in his arms.
"Yes, it will be much safer in a place where no one can use its powers." Thor explains. Beatrice nods looks around at the group of people she has spend the last couple of days with. Agents Romanoff and Barton were standing in front of Loki who was glaring at Agent Barton and Tony and Bruce were asking Doctor Selvig a quick question before Thor and Loki had to go. Once everyone was ready, Thor held out the other end of the case to his brother who reluctantly grabbed onto it. And with a twist of Thor's end, him and Loki disappeared in a flurry of blue light that dissipated into the sky.
After that the team all got ready to go on their separate ways. Agent Romanoff handed a bag from the trunk of the S.H.I.E.L.D. cars they and Agent Barton arrived in to Bruce who was going to spend some time with Tony at the STARK TOWER. Steve shook Tony's hand as Beatrice walked over to Agents Romanoff and Barton.
"So I will be seeing you two around?" Beatrice asked. Agent Romanoff looked at the girl and smiled before nodding.
"Once all this settles down, I'll be around to start you on your S.H.I.E.L.D. training. You got a lot to catch up on."
"You sure you want to join up kid?" Agent Barton asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Beatrice didn't hesitate to smile and nod her head before letting Agent Barton smile as well, "It's not gonna be easy."
"Don't worry, I'm a fast learner."
Beatrice left them both with handshakes and then made her way to Bruce and Tony who were already seated in Tony's sports car. "See ya guys later." She said, shaking Bruce's hand over Tony and then giving Tony a quick hug, which he tensed up in and patted her back awkwardly.
"Okay that's enough weird hugging." Tony said. Beatrice laughed and let go of the billionaire. Bruce smiled at Beatrice and Tony.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Beatrice. I've already talked to Director Fury to send me your blood sample that was still on the base. Once everything cools down I will get to work on it." Bruce explained to her.
"There's no rush Doctor, take your time."
"You need a ride back home?" Tony asked. Beatrice looked at him before turning her head and seeing Steve talking to Agents Romanoff and Barton and give them both handshakes.
"No, there's something I need to to before I go home." Beatrice said, turning back to the two men in the car. Tony nods and drives off quickly, leaving along with the S.H.I.E.L.D. cars with Agent Romanoff, Barton and Doctor Selvig. Beatrice looks over to Steve as he walks over to his motorcycle a little ways away from where they were. He's kicking up the kickstand when he looks up to see Beatrice making her way over to him, her hands in her pockets and a small smile on her face.
"So this is it then?" She asks, stopping in front of Steve and his bike.
"I believe so." Steve says, smiling back at her. Beatrice nods and is about to walk off before acting forgetful.
"Oh," Beatrice says, looking back at Steve, "I just remembered. You happen to owe me a meal, Captain."
Steve smiles wider then before before raising his eyebrow at her, "I don't remember that."
"Really? We were in the city, world going to hell, aliens all around ring a bell?"
"Hm. Nope."
"Oh. I guess my memory isn't as good as it used to be." Beatrice could tell from the way he was smiling that he was faking, but to see how far he was willing to go, she decided to start walking off again.
She didn't get too far.
"Oh! You mean that offer?" Steve called, getting Beatrice to turn back around. "It seems to be coming back to me."
"Really?" Beatrice asked.
"Yeah. Got anywhere in mind?" He asked as Beatrice walked back over to him.
"When was the last time you had Gerald's pizza?"
"Almost 75 years."
"Would you like to go get some? They love me over there and I bet I can get a discount."
Steve nodded and started up his motorcycle, then nodded to the seat. "Hop on." Beatrice didn't need to be told twice as she swung her leg over the seat and settled herself on the bike. She wrapped her arms around Steve's waist as he revved the bike and then drove off, smiles on both their faces.
