The upstairs of Luke Cage's office was not what Thor expected it to be, though he should have assumed from the bottom floor.

It was Luke's bedroom.

When they got to the top and he spotted the bed, the thunder god stopped in surprise even as Luke continued to walk across the room.

Luke turned to talk to him and stopped, smiling. "What's wrong?"

Thor felt his face redden again. "These are your…sleeping quarters."

The black man raised an eyebrow and his mouth twitched as if he was trying to hold in laughter. "Yes, it is. Surprised? I kept most of my stuff on Magnum upstairs, mostly in case something happened downstairs. There's a computer here on a different configurat…and I'm completely losing you, aint I?"

"I am…unfamiliar with….computers," Thor said, looking away.

Luke smiled. "Yeah, I would imagine coming from…well…wherever the hell it is you come from…would make it harder to know all that shit. Come in, make yourself comfy Goldy."

Thor nodded and walked into the room, taking in the surroundings. The walls were undecorated, save for a plaque on one wall that upon closer inspection appeared to be a police award. He leaned in to inspect it and Luke said, "It was my pop's. He was killed in the line of duty, shot down in a bank robbery."

Thor looked at him in sympathy. "I grieve for thee."

Luke blinked in surprise. "Thanks. It was a LONG time ago, though it's kinda ironic. Not even five years later I was sent to prison for a bank robbery."

He laughed and Thor frowned. "You stole funds from others?"

Luke looked away, shaking his head. "It's…complicated," he reached under his bed and pulled out a folder, throwing it on the bed.

Thor sat down on the bed and Luke sat beside him as he looked through it.

"Moses Magnum," Thor whispered aloud before looking up at Luke, "This man was in the bank with you?"

Luke smiled. "Pretty messed up, right? He sorta…framed me for the whole thing. I was…a dumbass, really…and I fell for his shit," he explained before his smile faded into an angry sneer, "I won't do that again. Not no more."

Thor reached out and put his hand on Luke's shoulder. "I want to help, Lucas. Any way I can."

Luke looked at Thor's hand, then back up to Thor. "Again, with the touching."

Thor took his hand back quickly, his blush deeply obvious. "I…apologize. Nicholas has told me I have very inadequate people skees and I…"

Luke laughed. "You mean, skills?"

Thor nodded. "I…yes. Nicholas has told me I do not have good skills for being with…people. I do not…I…I do not know the proper decorum."

Luke laughed lightly, turning away and running a hand over his scalp. "Man, you're making this SO easy, if I wanted," he mumbled, not meeting Thor's eyes.

The thunder god frowned. "What does thou mean, Lucas?"

Luke looked at him, sighing. "You honestly don't need people skills when you look like…YOU do, Goldilocks. Honestly, I'm surprised you don't have pussy coming out of your ears, though by the looks of it I'd say you like dick better but…maybe I'm an exception?"

Thor sputtered, genuinely shocked. "I…I have never…I….I have never heard such…directness…from another before. I do not…I…"

Luke grabbed his hand and said, "My guess is that you can dish it out, but can't take it. Am I right? You throw yourself at others, grab the nearest guy or chick, stick your tongue down their throat but when someone acts that way with you…"

Thor stood, his expression angry. "I have…I do…"

Luke sighed and opened his mouth to speak when a voice interrupted them.

"THOR, sorry to break up your lover's spat but I couldn't continue to listen to that."

Thor blinked. "Nicholas?"

Suddenly there was a shimmering and a hologram appeared in the room in the form of Nick Fury. He smiled at them both. "Hello boys. I just wanted to tell the Thunder God here he has a new assignment," he explained, then looked squarely at Luke and said, "YOU."

Luke stood up, "Aw, hell no! You aint comin' in here and sic'ing your dog on me! I…"

"Would you shut your mouth, kid? There are eleven trained soldiers outside your office right at this moment, all with guys and are preparing to storm the place. Apparently Magnum does NOT like you even more than you assumed. Thor is going to go outside and zap them, and then he will stay guard over you tonight. Tomorrow, like it or not, you will be moving in to Avengers Mansion."

Luke opened his mouth to protest when Thor threw his hand over it and answered, "Yes, Nicholas."

Nick grinned. "Have fun boys, and remember….use protection."

Luke snickered under Thor's hand and Thor angrily started to speak but Nick was already gone.

Luke pushed him off and started to say, "Well what are we…" when suddenly Thor was opening his window.

"What are…?" Luke asked, as Thor pulled his hammer seamlessly out of thin air and floated out the window.

He watched in shock as Thor did his 'Thunder God' routine, summoning lightning and successfully killing all eleven men at once. Luke stared dumbfounded as Thor glided back inside, landing with an exhausted thump on Luke's bed.

"Uh…" Luke said stupidly.

Thor opened one eye and whispered, "Summoning the lightning does not usually take this energy out of my body, I apologize, I used much more force than necessary."

Luke nodded, swallowing. "Uh…why?"

Thor smiled. "They would have hurt you, Lucas."

Luke smiled and sat on the bed beside him, sighing. "What am I gonna do with you, Goldilocks?"

When there was no reply he looked over and saw the thunder god was asleep. He laughed.

"So much for my bodyguard."

Luke looked at Thor and sighed, laying his head in his hands. When he'd woken up he had not expected the day to end this way. He lifted his head and looked at Thor again, scooting up to the Thunder God's face.

Good lord, what a pretty man. He lifted his hand as if to touch and stopped himself, cursing.

What had he gotten himself into?

"Trouble," he mumbled, laying onto this back and sighing.

When he woke hours later, they were sleeping curled into each other with Thor at his back. He groaned when he realized Goldilocks had a raging hard on.

This in turn, woke up Thor who yawned and asked tiredly, "Lucas?"

Luke sat up, yawning himself. "Good morning, Goldilocks. Looks like someone spent the night in a bed that felt just right."

He grinned.

Thor smiled. "Yes, it was very comfortable, thank you."

Luke frowned. "You're killin' me Goldy, perfectly good material wasted."

Thor looked puzzled. "I am sorry?"

Luke laughed. "Nothin'. C'mon, let's go to your place. I want to punch this Fury guy in the jaw."

Tony Stark woke that morning with one mission in mind.

He was going to have sex with Steve today.

The sentence was playing on loop in his head as he looked over at Steve's sleeping form and sighed. He'd spent the night and it had been going well, but just as they'd been getting to the good stuff Steve had backed off, making excuses and kissing him once before whispering, "I love you."

There was only so far those three words could get a man and Tony had reached his limit.

Tony lifted the blanket off his legs and threw them over the side of the bed. He stretched and before he could put his feet down a strong arm encircled his stomach and pulled him back. He shivered as lips traced along his lower back.

"Good…m…orning," he stuttered, closing his eyes.

Steve didn't answer, pulling him down onto the bed and pinning his arms above his head, towering over him. His eyes were nearly black with need as he took control of Tony's mouth, his tongue savagely tangling up into Tony's and when he pulled away to breathe both men were panting.

Tony put a hand to his face and Steve rubbed against it, taking the hand to his lips once before leaning down to kiss him again.

"I've missed you," he whispered hoarsely, his eyes mournful.

Tony smiled. "Show me how much."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The scene I wrote as was is against the site's guidelines so I've posted it to my LJ and the editor for the site will not allow me to post a link though there is one in my author profile. My LJ name is kinneytaylor. There will be MANY scenes in this story I will have to do the same to, but I don't want to try and CENSOR them INTO SOMETHING MORE tame so this will have to do. Sorry.

He lay on Tony's chest and caught his breath.

"Always so quiet," Tony whispered the teasing in his voice evident.

Steve smiled but didn't lift his head. "We can't all be sopranos."

Tony hit him on the top of his head. "Shut up."

Steve closed his eyes. "I love you too."

Nick Fury sat across from Luke Cage, tapping his fingers on the oak conference table in front of him. He stared at the man, his eyebrow raised. "That it?" he asked.

Luke blinked. "Uh, yeah. I guess. I thought it was enough."

Nick smiled. "I've dealt with much worse thugs in my time before, kid. Moses Magnum is big time but he's still relatively small compared to most. We're working on this power of his first, I got my guys working on a dampener though I've never seen it in action so I can't imagine…"

"I have. Thor and Steve have. It takes apart buildings, people, whatever you want to plow through and it's gotten more powerful if my place is any indication," Luke said, his voice rising to just above a yell.

Nick glared at him. "Don't raise your voice at me, son."

Luke blushed, looking down. "I'm…sorry, I just want to get this out of my life so I can get back to work."

Nick paused. "On your JUSTICE thing? You're actually serious about that?"

Luke stared at him solemnly. "As a heart attack."

Nick laughed. "Well, for now find Thor and go look for a room to stay in and then Natasha will take you down to the manufacturers, though you'll be glared at the whole time you're with her. Her bodyguard boyfriend is mighty possessive."

Luke smiled. "I can hold my own, Fury. Hell I think I can take you if I wanted to."

Nick's smile melted and he raised an eyebrow again. "You wouldn't stand a chance. One move on me, kid, and your arm would be broken in ten places under the span of a minute."

Luke paled and stood, nodding and mumbling, "Can't take a joke around here."

"Enjoy your stay, Cage."

Luke left him and slammed the door, making Nick laugh.

One more to mix things up, just what he needed.

Clint Barton had woken that morning alone much to his chagrin.

He'd spent the rest of his morning practicing shooting in the training room, working out his frustration on targets. The last of his arrows went through the side of a target and he swore, throwing his bow down and turning to leave.

That's when he saw Luke Cage for the first time.

The man was walking with Thor, who looked more animated than Clint had ever seen him, and as Clint watched he touched the God once, twice, three times and Thor didn't even seem to notice.

They passed by the training room and Clint was so caught up in watching them he didn't notice someone enter the room.

"Luke Cage."

Clint jumped at Tony's voice, holding his chest. "You scared me."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "Really? I didn't know Thor was that enthralling to look at, but you seemed to be in a coma there."

Clint blushed. "I was just…I've never seen Thor that…"

"Vibrant? Vigorous? Vivacious? I have," Tony said, grinning, "He WAS staring at you that way yesterday. But again, love at first sight does change a man."

Clint looked away from him, walking towards the towels and mumbling, "Longing for me, huh? Didn't take him long."

Tony walked behind him and towards the weights, grabbing two and quipping, "You sound almost jealous, Hawkeye."

Clint rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right."

Tony began doing arm curls and added, "I haven't seen you this pissed at someone since I picked Steve over you, and even then I don't think you were this…interested. Be careful, you already have your very own green eyed monster to take care of. Can't imagine what you'd do with two."

Clint gave him the middle finger and stormed out of the room, the automatic doors opening and closing behind him.

He headed right for his own room and stopped dead, seeing Thor and Luke standing in front of Tony's empty room talking. Clint hid on the edge of the wall and listened.

"You sure this okay? I mean, I'm only gonna stay a few days tops. You said this was Iron Man's place, I don't wanna…" Luke said.

"It is fine, Steven told me to direct you here. He and Anthony are very much in deep love, the Iron Man has no need of an additional resting place."

Luke laughed. "You don't have to use so many words, Goldy. I get it. They're in love, they fuck in Captain America's bed. Got it."

Thor suddenly sounded flustered, "Lucas, you…you speak too…"

There was a pause and Luke whispered, "You like it, don't pretend you don't."

Then the door closed and Clint turned just in time to catch Thor's confused blushing and he turned, surprised by Clint. "Hello Clinton, you're looking…well."

Clint smiled. "So are you. I hear we have a new recruit staying with us. He's taking Tony's room?"

Thor's face suddenly brightened and he said quickly, "Oh yes, Lucas is going to be sleeping this evening in the Iron Man's quarters, right next to my own."

"And across from mine," Clint said, his voice hard.

Thor still looked so happy Clint was starting to get annoyed. "I know that you have been regularly sharing sleeping quarters with the Mon…Bruce, so I did not think this would be a burden," he frowned, "You do not like Lucas to be…?"

Clint sighed. "No, it's fine. I'm gonna go shower."

He walked a few feet and was about to open his door when Thor grabbed his hand.

"Hawkeye."

Clint swallowed. "Thor, I…"

They stared at each other for what felt like hours when suddenly someone coughed and both men looked up.

Luke Cage was standing in his doorway and he did not look happy. "Am I interrupting something?"

Thor let go of Clint and said quickly, "No, Lucas we were just…"

"I was just leaving," Clint said, closing the door behind him.

He leaned against it and heard Thor say, "Of course, I will show you how to work the box!"

He sighed, closing his eyes.

What was wrong with him? He was in love with BRUCE. He was. Why the hell did he care so much about what Thor was doing?

"Hell if I know," he mumbled, heading towards the shower.
