I woke up with a yawn the next morning. I looked out the window to see the same gray clouds and snow in the sky. I shivered under the covers for some reason I didn't know. I took off the covers and a blast of cold air hit me. I went over to a closet that Tony's girlfriend, Pepper, had filled with clothes that fit me for while I was here. I grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans, black, leather boots, a deep purple shirt, and a black jacket.
I went upstairs still cold and saw Tony with his feet dangling from the ceiling as he cussed his head off. I saw Bruce sitting on the couch and I caught his attention. I pointed to Tony with a questioning look on my face.
"Air conditioning's broken," he told me simply.
"What Bruce?" Tony called from the ceiling.
Bruce shook his head and replied, "I'm just telling Britney what on Earth you're doing."
"Oh, hey Brit!" Tony yelled.
I rolled my eyes and walked to the bar. "Sup Stark," I called grabbing a Guinness.
Loki, Thor, and Steve walked in from the elevator. Loki put a finger to his lips telling us all to be quiet. He quietly walked over to where Tony's legs were dangling from the ceiling as I smiled and shook my head. Loki grabbed Tony's leg and yanked it down. Tony came crashing to the floor screaming. Thor and I were laughing as Bruce and Steve just had grins on their faces. Tony groaned as he laid face down on the floor. I walked over and helped him up and over to the couch. Loki gave me a why-are-you-helping-him? look.
I walked over to him and said, "Because I'm a nice person." Loki rolled his eyes and I smacked him upside the head.
"Everything hurts!" Tony complained from the coach. I shook my head a Tiffany and Natasha came running in.
"What was that crash?" Tiffany said in a panicked voice.
Everyone turned to Loki and I said, "Loki was playing a joke on Tony and pulled him from the ceiling while Tony tried to fix the air conditioning. I heard Natasha mutter something about boys being stupid and Tiffany laughed.
Out of nowhere a large ship appeared and a man in black fell onto the balcony. Steve and Natasha's eyes went wide. "Tiffany, Britney, go hide now," Steve told us. We ran over behind the bar and didn't say a word.
"Where's Barton?" a voice asked. I guessed it was the man on the balcony. "And what's with Stark?"
"Clint is training and Tony got pulled from the ceiling," I heard Steve say. There was a pause until Steve said, "Loki."
"Figures," the voice said. I hugged my knees to my chest as my heart rate picked up. "And, who are Britney and Tiffany?" My breath caught in my throat.
"I don't know," Tony said weakly.
I heard a sigh before the man said, "Then why do I have security cameras that prove otherwise?" Tiffany's face paled. I grabbed her hand and she squeezed it tightly. I was seriously scared for my life at this point. "I know they're here Stark."
"Okay, we met them, but they're gone," Loki told him.
"And what makes you think I'd ever believe the man that tried to take over my planet, especially if that man's title that's the God of Mischief?" the voice yelled angrily. I could almost see the tears in Tiffany's eyes she was so scared. I squeezed her hand reassuringly. I had no idea what was going to happen to us at this point.
"Because my brother has changed and I believe it would be wise as to not talk to him the way you are Director Fury," Thor said threateningly. Fury, the guy's name fits him.
"I know he's lying, that's the thing," Fury said. I heard footsteps coming towards me and Tiffany.
"And what's makes you say that Sir?" Steve said after clearing his throat.
"Because I know they're right her," Fury answered reaching over and yanking Tiffany up. Tiffany yanked her arm away and I pulled her back over to me.
"Don't you dare touch her!" I growled at Fury. He looked a bit taken back at my outburst.
"I'm not here to hurt you two you know," he told us. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Britney, I want you to join the Avengers."
My eyes widened in shock. "Wh-why?" I asked confused.
"SHIELD knows about your powers Miss Prichard," he replied. My body went numb and my eyes got wide. How did he know? How did he find out? Not even my parents know! I thought filled with panic. "I'll come back tomorrow for your answer." And with that, he left. I had no idea what to do anymore.
For some reason tears swelled in my eyes. I instantly ran out of the room and to my room. I closed the door and put my back to it. I slid down the door crying my eyes out. I had never felt so vulnerable in my life.
"Brit?" I heard a voice ask from the other side of the door. I didn't pay any attention. "Brit, open the door."
"Leave me alone," I pleaded, realizing the voice was Tiffany.
"If you don't open this door in the next minute I'm kicking it down!" Tiffany called. I got up and opened the door. "Oh Britney." Tiffany took me into her arms and hugged me.
I let go and sat down on my bed. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
"I know Britney. But, if you don't mind my asking, what was he talking about?" she asked me.
I hesitated and said, "I'm a shape shifter."
Tiffany's eyes widened in shock as she stuttered, thinking of what to say. She finally stopped and gave up. "I don't know what to say," she confessed.
"No, I had no idea," I said sarcastically. Tiffany glared at me and I smiled. I was still crying the whole time.
"Tiffany, let me talk to her," Loki's voice said. Tiffany smirked at me and left. Loki came over to me. He takes Tiffany's place and pulls my head to look at him. He wipes away my tears with a sympathetic smile.
"I still don't believe you're the same guy that tried to take over my planet a few months ago," I confessed. I was having a hard time looking him in the eyes.
"People change," he said.
"How? You've been cooped up with the Avengers and SHIELD watching your ever move," I said in disbelief.
"Well, maybe someone changed me," he said quietly. I had never realized he had been leaning in closer the whole time till that moment. I immediately closed the gap and kissed him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands around my waist.
The first thing I said when I pulled away was, "Wow." He laughed and shook his head.
"Do you feel better?" he asked me. I nodded. "So, that was the second time we have kissed. What would you propose now?"
"I propose," I started by mocking his words, "that we should go out. What do you think?"
"I would very much like that," he said. He kissed my forehead and I buried my head into his chest.
This should be an interesting experience.
