Chapter Fourteen

Cuz it's a girl's night


Previously...

There's an awkward moment of silence, and then Fury turns back to the team. "I'm going to check out the Helicarrier. Don't do anything stupid." They nod and he turns around. As he brushes past me, he says, "By the way, I called your mother. She's here."


"What?" Madison and I exclaim, looking at each other wide-eyed.

As Fury disappears, Uncle Tony stands up and says, "Come on. There's some people we want you to meet." He ushers us and the rest of the team to a second elevator. It's a bit of a squeeze, but we all manage to fit inside. I can tell Faolan really doesn't like this.

"Who do you want us to meet?" Madison asks curiously.

"Well," Uncle Tony replies, "You remember my girlfriend that I mentioned a few days ago? Pepper?"

"Yeah," I say, nodding. He had spoken of her before, when he was complaining about how some teenage girls don't like people playing with their hairs. "Is she here?"

"Along with your mother," Bruce says, "And my…. friend, Betty."

"Girlfriend," Uncle Tony says, nudging his science bro with his elbow. I raise my eyebrows, "Really? I didn't know you had a girlfriend." Bruce scratches his head awkwardly, "Well….. Thor's girlfriend, Jane, is here. Also her friend Darcy. I think you'll like her."

I nod and Madison says, "Don't you go thinking that I don't know you just purposely changed the subject. This conversation is not over."

A few moments later, the elevator doors open and we step out. The room looks like a living area with couches, a big TV, tables, and a bunch of other stuff. As we all create our own personal bubbles, Steve suddenly snaps sharply, "Zoey! Madison!"

We both jerk around and I raise my hands, "I didn't do it!"

The super soldier narrows his eyes and hisses, "What did you do to your hair?"

Faolan, still disturbed by Fury's little show back there, steps besides me protectively. He looks at Steve with narrowed, snake-like eyes, and Steve straightens up. The super soldier gazes at him evenly, but also with some caution.

"Some of the agents at the party did this." I explain before anything bad can happen, "They trimmed our hairs at some point and painted them. I don't remember who or when it happened. The whole party was kind of a blur."

Steve mutters under his breath, but then a smooth voice calls out, "Hey, guys."

I look towards the source of the voice and see four women sitting on the couches around the TV. Thankfully, they don't look like the obnoxious Barbie ladies in the jet. One of them has strawberry blond hair like Madison that's pulled up in a ponytail, rosy cheeks, and blue eyes. Another one has long dark hair, pale skin, blue eyes and cherry red lips. The third is rather small, has light brown hair and brown eyes. And at last, the fourth has glasses, dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Uncle Tony takes the strawberry blonde's hand and pulls her up. "This is Pepper." he says and nudges her over to me, "Pepper, this is Zoey and Madison."

I smile politely and shake her hand. "Nice to meet you Zoey," she shakes Madison's hand, "You too, Madison." She looks a little surprised to see Faolan, but then holds out her hand and says, "I'm Pepper."

Faolan looks at her in confusion, and then at me. I roll my eyes and say, "Shake her hand and introduce yourself."

Still looking a little confused, he raises a paw and grasps Pepper's hand, which looks small compared to his. As they shake hands/paws, he grunts, "I'm Faolan."

Pepper smiles and nods, "Nice to meet you."

The girl with long dark hair stands up and walks to us, "Hi, I'm Betty." I shake her hand and introduce myself as well, "I'm Zoey. Are you Bruce's girlfriend?" She looks a little surprised and glances at Bruce, who looks like he's having an uncomfortable conversation with Uncle Tony. "Um," she replies, "Yeah." I smile and let Madison greet her. Faolan goes after her, and he looks like he's trying to get the hang of the whole hand-shaking thing.

The other two women walk up to us and introduce themselves. "I'm Jane." the lady with the light brown hair and brown eyes says. Next to her, the last woman waves casually and says in a I'm-pretty-lazy-at-times-but-I-can-be-kinda-fun-and-weird voice, "Hey, I'm Darcy."

I can already tell I'm going to like her. She's got a Zoey vibe.

Thor strides towards us and pulls Jane to his side, saying in his booming voice, "You shall like Lady Jane. She is a magnificent Midgardian." Jane blushes and smiles. Hmm... something tells me that she's his girlfriend.

"Alright, alright," Uncle Tony says, "We're not here to make-out. I suggest we grab some beer, hit the hot tub, and watch some football."

All the men seem to think this is a pretty good idea, besides Faolan, who doesn't know what beer, hot tubs, or football is. However, the women have their own thoughts on it.

"Uhhh….." Jane says warily, glancing at all the girls. Darcy perks up and grabs the men's attention, "How 'bout you guys go do that while us females," she gestures to us, "have a girls' day."

"Aww," Uncle Tony whines, "Come on, you guys would seriously rather go shopping, paint your nails, braid your hairs, talk about boyfriends and giggle and-"

"Tony," Pepper warns, giving him a look. He sighs, "Okay, fine. Your loss. Come, guys." The billionaire walks away and Bruce, Thor, and Steve follow him. Clint stays behind with Natasha.

"What about you?" he asks the assassin, "Are you going to come with us or stay with them?"

Natasha pauses, and then gives him an apologetic smile and walks over to stand by us. "Sorry," she says, "But I'm not a big football fan."

Clint looks a little taken aback, but then spots something behind us. "Hey, Faolan!"

I turn around and see the male wolf mutant standing a bit away from us, looking confused. "Come on, you're not a girl." Clint says, but he stays where he is. "Trust me, you don't want to hang out with them." he adds and Faolan looks at us. Then, he reluctantly walks towards Clint and follows him as he leads him to where the guys disappeared off to.

"Sooo…." Darcy says, turning to us, "What do-"

"Wait a minute," Madison suddenly says, interrupting her, "Where's Mom?" I blink in surprise. Where is Mom? Didn't Fury say he called her?

"You mean Luna?" Betty asks, and then says, "She had to go to the bathroom." She turns her head towards a small door, "She'll be out in a minute." As if on cue, there's the sound of a flushing toilet, and a few moments later, Luna walks out.

"Mom!" Madison exclaims and runs to her. I follow a bit more slowly, but I still smile.

"Madison!" she says happily and hugs her. Before I know it, I'm pulled into the hug as well. "We missed you!" Madison says as we pull away. "I missed you too!" Mom says and then gasps, "What happened to your hairs, guys?"

"Oh, we had a party. Monster Energy Drink, spray paint, whipped cream, food, crazy agents and Joker's Gas- you know, the ushe." I reply casually.

Mom laughs, "Oh my God, you did not!" At the look I give her, she rolls her eyes and says, "Come on, guys, I told you not to do anything crazy!"

"Did you?" I ask, glancing at Madison. She gives me a confused look, and then we turn back to Mom. "I don't remember you saying that." Madison says, and I back her up with a "Yeah."

Mom sighs, trying to be upset but failing with her smile, and then ruffles our hairs, "Well, at least you didn't get mohawks."

"Oh, that would've been a nightmare!" I snort as the other ladies walk over to us. I turn to them, smiling, and they do the same.

Awkward silence

"Sooooo…." Darcy says, "What should we do first?"


Meanwhile with the men in a weird POV

Faolan warily sniffs the sweet smelling stuff in the glass bottle. It smells sugary and yummy but...something's not right. Around him, the male Avengers are laughing and grinning. They're all in the hot tub, sharing stories and jokes. Faolan thinks that the large, bowl-like, water-filled scoop in the ground is strange, but doesn't question it and let's himself relax.

Next to him, Tony nudges him, "Go on, wolf boy, try it."

The wolf mutant looks at him doubtfully, and then back at the bottle. Hmm...well, they seemed pretty happy after they drank it so…

Faolan tilts the bottle up, like they taught him, and takes a sip. Immediately, he gags and splutters.

"What?" Tony exclaims, "You don't like beer?"

He groans, the 'beer' making his head spin.

"I have never met somebody who doesn't like beer." Clint says, staring at the mutant, "Even Natasha likes it, she just doesn't drink often."

"Neither do I," Bruce states, and then takes a swig, "But its fun, once in a while." (idk if Bruce drinks, but watever. I've never seen the Hulk so yeah) Faolan gives them a strange look and licks his lips. Then, he looks down at his beer bottle and takes another sip.

"Oh," Steve comments, "I guess he likes it."

"ANOTHER!" Thor suddenly shouts, slamming his bottle on the floor and shattering it. Everybody bursts out laughing. Faolan chuffs, somewhat liking the bittersweet liquid that makes pain and worries go away and lifts his mood. It kind of reminds him of the Monster Energy Drink, except it has a sour/sweet smell.

Thor jumps out of the hot tub, water streaming off of him, and grabs three more bottles. He plops back in the water and takes a swig. After he swallows, he comments, "This Midgardian rum is nothing compared to those on Asgard."

"We've gotta go to Asgard!" Tony exclaims excitedly. Faolan tilts his head, "Where Ah-gard?"

Tony and Clint crack up somewhat drunkly. "Dude," Tony gasps, "You gotta work on your English. It's Asgard. Ass. Guard." Faolan rolls his eyes, annoyed with strange English words, and asks again, "Where's Asgard?"

"It is beyond this realm, and the only way to get there is through the Bifrost." Thor replies. Suddenly, Bruce and Steve, who were having their own conversation, erupt into fits of giggles.

"What's Bifrost?" Faolan asks and Tony waves his hand casually, "It's like a rainbow bridge."

Thor frowns, but doesn't comment.

Faolan, thinking this is all strange, takes a large gulp of his beer. "Hey, easy on the alcohol, wolf," Clint says. Tony snorts, "Yeah, you don't want to waltz up to Zoey all drunk and say something stupid."

They both laugh and Faolan raises a slim wolf eyebrow, "Does that actually happen?"

"Yup," Bruce replies from the other end of the hot tub, "I've seen it." He looks pointedly at Tony. The billionaire flashes him a grin and says, "My rum brought out the truth!"

They all laugh. Faolan smiles, starting to enjoy hanging out with the guys. A few moments later, they all sigh, still grinning like idiots. Then, Steve says, "I wonder what the ladies are doing."

The guys murmur their agreements, and then Bruce says, "I wonder what girls do during sleepovers. I mean, I know adult women don't usually go on sleepovers anymore, but what do they do when they just hang out like we are?"

"I know," Tony says. He straightens up and says in a high pitched voice, "I, like, totally love your hair. Oh, you have, like, really full lips." The men snort with laughter as Tony pretends to braid his imaginary long hair while making kissy lips.

"Giggles, and pillow fights, and tickles, and rainbows and unicorns," Tony continues on in his high pitched voice, "And boys, and kissing, and boys, oh!" he finishes dramatically.

Laughter echoes throughout the room.

"Oh!" Clint says, patting Tony's arm excitedly, "And then, the- oh, we should totally go on a diet together!" he puts on an annoying, Barbie-princess-like voice.

They continue laughing, Faolan included. He's joking and laughing with them as if he knew them his whole life.

Finally, they calm down. Steve perks up and says, "But seriously, I wonder what they're doing."


Meanwhile with the girls in a weird POV

The couches that circle a coffee table and a flatscreen TV are...rather occupied. Trash and food litter the fabric and tabletop. Seven women, two considerably younger than the rest, are all wearing tank tops and yoga pants, along with a bathrobe to keep warm. They're all splayed out on the couch in various positions.

Currently, Pepper and Jane are leaning against each other lazily with a bowl of popcorn between them. Pepper's ponytail has disappeared and both of their hairs are fanned out.

Madison is laying down on the frame of a couch, tapping away on her phone. Sitting normally in front of her is Betty. To her right is Luna, who is on her back and also on her phone. Her legs are bent across Betty's, and the scientist is using the mother's knees as a table for her bowl of frosting.

Natasha, well, let's just say she is more comfortable in private places.

Meanwhile, a bit away from them, Zoey is on her back as well. However, her legs are on the frame of the couch, so everything to her is upside down. Next to her, Darcy lies with her head on Zoey's stomach.

"So, like," she complains, "I don't care. Some people want to be in a relationship, but others don't. Especially if the man never bathes, is super nosy, and has this stupid annoying look on his face. And he doesn't leave me alone! I'm like, "Dude, get the hell away from me" and then he gets all offended and like 'wow ur mean'. But he comes back the next day! And I looked him up and he's had a lot of girlfriends that he dumps, like, the day after he hooks up with them."

"Wha a ahhol." Zoey comments, her words muffled as she squirts whipped cream into her mouth.

"I know, right?" Darcy exclaims, and pops a piece of chocolate in her mouth. "I love chocolate." she pouts.

"Ooh," Zoey perks up, looking at the ceiling, "Pass the brownies!" Suddenly, the air vent opens and chunks of fudge come raining down.

Right on Betty's head.

Disgruntled, Betty grabs an empty plate from the coffee table and puts the brownies on it. Before she gives it to them, though, she grabs one and smears frosting on it.

"Thanks Natasha!" Betty yells at the ceiling. Since she's in the air vent, the reply is much louder, "You're welcome!" Next to Jane, Pepper raises an eyebrow, "Are you sure you don't want to join us down here?"

"Nah, I'm fine."

Luna suddenly lifts her head, "I have an idea, Darcy. Tell him to meet you somewhere, but then don't show up." Darcy's eyes widen and she takes out her phone, "That's a good idea. Hmm...where should I send him?"

"Does he know that you're in New York?" Pepper asks, looking over.

"Phhh, no."

"Oh!" Jane says, snapping her fingers, "Send him to that diner that's really fancy but really far away. Uhhh, what's it called?"

"I know it," Darcy says and starts texting. As she does, she murmurs, "I will meet you there in half an hour."

There's a moment of silence where they're all just eating. Then, Zoey says to Darcy, "I'm gonna take a pic of you, and you send it to him."

"Yeah- wait, I want you to be in it!"

Darcy shifts and Zoey groans as she jabs her stomach. Darcy stretches her neck out to get in the picture, somewhat climbing over Zoey's torso. "Ouch!" the teen yelps, "Watch my- ow!"

"Take it!" Darcy says, grunting to keep her position. Zoey lifts up her phone and takes a picture. Then, they both sit up and look at it.

"Ugh! No, delete it," Darcy says, "My glasses were crooked."

"Okay, let's do it again." Zoey says, deleting it.

Darcy turns to her, "Okay, should we smile, or should we have our serious faces?"

"Smile," Jane calls, "Your serious face never works." Her assistant rolls her eyes sticks out her tongue at her. Jane rolls her eyes, and Darcy turns back to Zoey, "Take it."

*click*

They look at the picture.

"Ewwww, what the hell?" Zoey frowns, deleting it.

"Just take a bunch and then pick the best." Pepper suggests. By now, she and Jane are just watching them. Betty's still eating frosting and Luna's still on her phone.

Zoey and Darcy both shrug, and then start taking pictures. Pepper and Jane gaze at them, snickering quietly at the weird faces they make. Once Zoey and Darcy are done, they go through the pictures.

"Let me take one more."

*click*

"Maybe we should take it from a better angle or something."

*click*

"Ugh, my forehead!"

"No, girl, you look awesome!"

*click*

"Oh, God, I look like a goblin."

*click*

"Ugh, this is annoying! Let's just keep this."

"No, no, no, no! I look like an elf!"

"Yeah, so do I. We can be elf buddies."

"No, please, please, please, delete it!"

"Okay, fine, I'm deleting it!"

*click*

"Delete."

"Oh, for crying out loud, why can't we get this?"

*click*

"Again, again, again. Should I like-"

"Ow! Watch where you flip your hair!"

*click*

"Who the hell is that?"

Jane and Pepper smile. A quiet laugh comes from up above and they look up to see Natasha looking down at the two girls. Even Luna and Betty start watching. This is going to be interesting.

Ten minutes later…

"GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!"

"DELEEEEEEEEETE! I LOOK LIKE A WARTHOG!"

"DAMMIT, DARCY, I SWEAR- ufff!"

"See, see, that's what happens! Okay, okay, it's gone, let's take-"

*click*

"What, no! I wasn't even ready!"

*click*

"Maybe we should put on some makeup?"

All of the sudden, Madison curses loudly. All the wonderfully feminine heads turn to her.

"This stupid moron just called me a-" Then the author cut out the 'stupid moron's' comment for the sake of keeping this story rated T.

The women all gape, and then get furious.

"On Instagram?" Jane asks and Madison nods. All eight girls, minus Luna, Zoey, and Madison, who already had theirs, whip out their phones.

"Oh no you didn't!" Zoey growls, tapping her phone, "Insult time!"

"Ooh!" Betty says, "I've got a good one. How about, 'You don't even know her, you jerk. You have absolutely no right to call her that! If you do that again, I'll call the Instacops on you!'. That's great, right?"

They all stare at her, eyebrows raised. Even Natasha grimaces.

"Suuurrre." Darcy says sarcastically. Luna glances at her, and then comments, "It just needs some brushing up."

Zoey snorts, "And way more cuss words. How about-"


Later with the men in a weird POV

"Okaaaaaay!" Tony says, sitting down and placing an empty beer bottle in front of him, "Let's start."

Tony, Bruce, Steve, Clint, Thor, and Faolan are sitting crosslegged in a circle. Well, in Faolan's case, just crouching down on his feet and tail.

The billionaire spins the bottle. A few moments later, it slows down and stops. The opening is pointed at Bruce.

"Bruce, Truth or Dare?" Tony asks. Bruce scratches his head, and then says, "Truth."

"Aww." Clint says right as Tony snorts, "Lame."

Bruce rolls his eyes.

Tony sighs and says, "Capsicle, since it is your first time playing this game, you get to give Brucey here a Truth."

Steve raises an eyebrow, "It's Faolan's first time too."

"Yeah, but I have a feeling he needs to watch before he can play." The genius replies, gesturing to the confused look on Faolan's face. Steve pauses, thinking, and then says, "Would you rather get five piercings or a tattoo covering one of your limbs?"

Clint and Tony both do a face palm.

"That is the lamest Truth question I have ever heard." Tony says, sounding bored.

Steve frowns and says, "I saw it on the Internet earlier…."

They both sigh irritably.

Bruce huffs and replies, "Well… probably a tattoo…."

"Really?"

"Yeah...just...just," he cuts off and spins the bottle. It lands on Thor. "What must I do now?" Thor asks, "And what is this 'tattoo' you speak of?"

Bruce begins to explain, "A tattoo is-"

"Just pick Truth or Dare, Point Break," Tony groans, "If you're brave, then you'll pick Dare. If you're a coward, you'll pick Truth."

"Hey!" Steve snaps, looking slightly offended.

Thor slams his fist down on the floor, "Thor Odinson is no coward! I pick Dare!"

Bruce looks up, "Okaaaaay, how about….." he pauses, thinking, "I dare you to spend the next round sitting on Tony's lap."

"What?" Tony exclaims, "Brucey, why? What did I ever do to you?"Meanwhile, Steve, Clint, and Faolan are laughing. Thor gets up and sits on Tony's Indian Style lap. "Umph! Oh, God, man what have you been eating?" The billionaire groans. They laugh harder.

"Just spin the stupid bottle, Thor!" The thunder god reaches down and spins the bottle. It spins and spins and spins until it lands on….. Clint.

"Dare!" he says before someone can ask.

Thor doesn't hesitate and says loudly, "I dare Arrow Man to give Faolan an eskimo kiss for ten seconds!"

They all stare at him blankly.

Bruce raises an eyebrow, "Where did you find that out?"

"What's an eskimo kiss?" Clint asks. Faolan nods as well, tilting his head in confusion. Bruce replies, "It's what eskimos do to kiss. They rub their noses against each other so their lips won't freeze together."

Tony bursts out laughing. Then, he takes out his phone and says, "Oh, I gotta get a pic of this."

Clint rolls his eyes, blushing slightly, and leans over the bottle. Tony giggles. Faolan looks taken aback, but doesn't move as Clint leans in closer. Then, his nose touches Faolan's big black one ever so slightly. Suddenly, Faolan sneezes.

Everybody bursts out laughing as Clint rockets backwards, wiping his face in disgust. "Good one, wolf boy!" Tony laughs, throwing off Thor and giving Faolan a high five.

Clint, scowling, spins the bottle. Ironically, it lands on Faolan. The archer grins mischieviously.

"Faolan, Truth or Dare?" he asks. Tony chants in a whisper, "Pick Dare, pick Dare, pick Dare,"

The wolf mutant gives Tony a weird look and then rumbles, "Dare."

Clint's grin widens, "Alright. Hmm… I dare you to go and confess your eternal love to Zoey in the most dramatic way possible."


Meanwhile with the ladies in a weird POV

"That doesn't even happen!" Darcy yells at the TV. All the ladies, including Natasha, are currently sitting on the couch with a bunch of tissues, watching a cheesy romance movie. Some are either criticizing or laughing (Zoey, Darcy, Natasha) others (Luna, Jane, Betty, Pepper, Madison) are crying.

Madison lets out another full wave of tears as the two main characters kiss. "I just want a boyfriend!" she wails.

"No! No! This sucks!" Darcy snarls, "This doesn't happen at all in real life! No relationship is that beautiful!"

"I am fine being single." Zoey says, leaning back and popping a Cheeto in her mouth. Suddenly, her phone buzzes and she takes it out. "Oh my God!" she exclaims, spitting out wet globs of cheese, "Look at this!"

All the girls squeeze in to see. It's a picture of Clint and Faolan eskimo kissing.

"What the hell?" Natasha exclaims, eyebrows raised.

Darcy laughs and hollers in a singsong voice, "Gaaaaaaaaaay!"

They burst out laughing, completely forgetting about the movie. "They're probably playing Truth or Dare or something." Betty laughs, "Although, I can't really imagine Bruce playing that."

The eight girls calm down, still occasionally giggling. They try to pay attention to the movie again, but quickly lose interest. "Ugh, I'm bored." Jane says, leaning back into the couch.

"Do you have any Wii games?" Darcy asks Pepper. She perks up and says, "We have Just Dance."

"Ooh!" Madison, Zoey, and Luna exclaim at the same time, making the others turn to them. "We love that game!" Zoey says.

"Alright then," Pepper says, getting up, "Let's dance."

Before she can do anything, the elevator dings and Faolan steps out, looking mortified. They all watch him as he walks in (on his hind legs) staring at the floor. He sluggishly saunters up to Zoey, and then stops.

Suddenly, he falls to his knees and says dramatically, "Love is too weak a word for what I feel. You have bewitched me, my soul, my body, and I love you with every inch of my being. I'll love you until I die, and if there is a life after that, I'll love you even then. I love you with no beginning and no end. I love you eternally." he looks deep into Zoey's eyes and gently takes her hand in his paws, "Without fear. Without expectations. I love you and need you as if you were the last breath in my body. I know that you may not love me, and that's okay, because I don't need your love in return, I just want you to allow me to keep you here in my heart, and that I may always know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly."

Zoey stares at him, wide eyed. Next to her, Pepper, Jane, Betty, Luna, Madison, and Darcy sniffle. Then, they burst out in a shower of tears and sobs. Natasha just smiles.

"That's," Madison sobs, "So *sobs* beautiful!"

Faolan blushes underneath his fur. Unfortunately, now that his face fur is extremely short, it's slightly visible.

Suddenly, two giggles erupt from behind a couch. They all stop crying. As fast as lightning, Zoey flings herself onto the frame of the couch and sees Tony and Clint crouching down with a phone.

"You little-" she starts screaming, but they get up and dash towards the stairs, Faolan at their heels. He looks over his shoulder and yelps, "Sorry!" before disappearing.

They stare, eyes wide and disbelieving. Then, Zoey screams, "Those-" her cuss is drowned out by the women erupting into screams and yells of fury.

"Come on, Clint!" Natasha shouts after the archer, "That was low!"

"Why can't those idiots leave us alone?" Madison yells.

Zoey groans and then wails, "I knew it was too good to be true." Madison whips her head towards her, gaping. Zoey raises her hands, "Wait- no! I meant-"

Pepper walks over and rubs her shoulder. Thankfully, she hadn't heard what she said. Or maybe she just hadn't processed it.

"It's alright." she says, "They're just jerks. Come on, let's just play."

Still furious, Zoey stops over and turns on the Wii.


Half an hour later…..

The men (and wolf) stare at the TV in the gaming room. They all have controllers and are pressing the buttons with all their might.

"Okay, okay, Clint get this guy behind me!"

"I'm kinda busy now."

"How do I shoot the gun?"

"Here, press this."

"Okay."

"Alright, alright, come on Bruce!"

"Aaaaaand…. Next Level! Woooo!"

Two hours later…

"BAM! Bazooka!"

"Whoa that's so cool!"

"Did anyone just see that?"

"No, what?"

"Aww."

Three hours later…

"Hey, guys, maybe we should take a break."

"Shut up, Bruce, this is too intense to stop."

"Alright, well, I'm gonna go read or something."

"Me too."

"Let's go Steve."

"PARTY POOPERS!"

Five hours later…

"Okay….get this guy while I get that one."

"Man, my eyes hurt."

"Whatever. Man up."

"How long does thy game last?"

"Eh, hell knows, Thor."

"Er…. guys, Faolan fell asleep."

"Wuss."


10:54 pm

An exhausted Nick Fury lands in his jet on Stark Tower. Irritable and tired, he walks to the elevator and goes to the living floor of the Tower where he assumes the team will be. What he finds, however, is eight women, one being an agent of his, surrounding a computer.

Zoey's seated in the chair, with Darcy half hiding behind her shoulder. Madison is on her knees, grabbing the table, with only her eyes above to stare at the screen. Pepper and Jane are behind the chair, holding hands and looking tense. Betty is hiding behind them, peeking through in between their heads. Luna's standing off to the side, one clenched hand on her mouth and the other squeezing her elbow. Natasha's pacing behind them all, looking tense and occasionally glancing at the computer.

"Turn around." Darcy squeezes Zoey's shoulder, her muscles taut, "Turn around!"

"We gotta find the pages." Pepper says, trying to control her breathing.

"We gotta find the freaking pages!" Madison squeals, ducking under the table for a second before coming back up.

"Turn around!" Darcy squeaks again.

"What twisted soul made this game?" Natasha says, walking up to the computer before going back to pacing.

"Why is this so scary?" Betty wails.

"Stop, stop!" Jane yelps.

All the women are occasionally whimpering in fear, even Natasha. Fury frowns in confusion, walking a bit closer. On the computer seems to be a dark forest. The director raises an eyebrow. Why are they playing Slender Man?

"I'm telling you," Zoey says, "Shit gets really intense when you're on, like, the fourth page."

Suddenly, "There's no page." Luna's voice is edged with panic.

"Oh God!" Pepper squeaks, hiding behind Jane.

"There's no page!" Zoey yells. Fury leans to the side to see the computer. Just then, a large, dark man with tentacles, a suit, and a white face pops up on the screen.

They all have various reactions.

Madison collapses onto the ground, screaming.

Darcy hides behind the chair, screaming.

Zoey falls off the chair, screaming.

Jane and Pepper hug….and scream.

Betty faints… after screaming.

Luna runs away, screaming.

And Natasha just punches the screen, breaking the computer.

Fury pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs.

Soo... Mom and Fury are back. I know it may seem like this story is getting a bit off-track, but I PROMISE this is all leading up to something huge and important. Just, like, one more chapter, and then SHIT IS GONNA GO DOWN! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
