Starlight in Her Eyes

Chapter Four: Shopping Plans?

By Ghost of the old age

Addie sighed as she walked back into her apartment with Tony following behind her like a shadow. The image of Peter Pan and his shadow popped into her mind, making her laugh a little under her breath. Tony gave her a look before pushing his way into the apartment.

"Shoes," Addie immediately ordered, pointing down at her cousin's shoes and then to the place mat.

The other Stark raised an eyebrow at her before shaking his head. "You've got to be kidding me," he muttered to himself. The woman shook her head and tugged off her own shoes before placing them neatly on the mat.

"I like to keep the place clean. Unlike you who just runs around the tower with his shoes on," Addie rolled her eyes and straightened up Thor's boots before standing and walking into the living room. Said God was sitting on the couch with a package of Poptarts on his lap and one of the two tarts in his hand.

"Lady Adrianna! These tarts are delicious! What are they called?"

"Umm, Poptarts? Like the box says," she gave the giant of a man a strange look before looking around. "Where's Loki?"

"Brother is using your waterfall device in the washroom." Tony stepped up beside her, noticeably missing his shiny black shoes. He grinned at Thor before sitting down on the other couch. "Tony! It is good to see you again!" Yes, they had got him out of the habit of calling him 'the iron man' before he left the first time.

"It's good to see you too Thor. But we didn't think you'd be returning so soon." Addie sighed and left the boys to talk. She wandered into the kitchen and filled the kettle up with some lukewarm water before putting it on the stove.

"Tony, coffee?" She called over her shoulder. Her cousin's positive reply was slightly drowned out by Thor's questions about coffee. Addie shuttered at the thought of the Asgardian with a coffee high. No, that was going to be the last on her list of things to do. And she'd make sure she wasn't home to see it. Hmm, maybe she could leave Thor and his caffeine buzz with Loki while she went out on missions?

While plotting her revenge on the immortal the blond haired woman turned on the coffee maker, which had been bought solely for Tony's visits. One both her cup of tea and her cousin's coffee were finished she went back into the living room. Only now there were three men sitting on the leather couches.

"So, there is another Asgardian here on Midgard?" Thor asked, his blue eyes flickering between Tony and Addie. The later nodded his head and took his mug from the woman. She sat down beside him, her eyes instantly locking with a pair of green eyes. The other's conversation was ignored while the two had a small stare down. Addie frowned, refusing to move her eyes away from the former god until he did first. A smirk slid onto Loki's lips as he tauntingly crossed his arms over his chest.

After a few moments of this it got boring. Addie rolled her eyes, admitting defeat for now. She turned her head to Tony and Thor's conversation only to find Tony glaring at Loki. She stifled a laugh at the expression on her cousin's face. Thor looked confused before finally huffing and turning to Addie.

"We should really try and find out who else is on Midgard," he told her. Addie smiled at the man and nodded her head. He kind of reminded her of a large teddy bear. He was tough looking but a sweet heart inside.

"Yeah, do you have any idea on who it could be?" Addie questioned, crossing one leg over the other. Thor shook his head, blond hair flying everywhere.

"Not many of the other Asgardians would want to come here. Midgard holds no interest to them anymore."

"Thor, you're going to have to start calling this Earth, or even America. If you keep calling us Midgardians or whatever you'll start to attract attention," Addie scolded.

"Oh yes, cause a big buff guy in metal and leather with his less than buff sidekick isn't going to attract attention," Tony jumped in, turning to look over Addie's house guests.

"Yeah, Tony's right. We're going to have to get you two new clothes to fit in better. Especially you Loki, since you'll be living here for a while," Addie agreed. Both Asgardians blanched, the idea of changing their clothing style definitely made them a bit nervous. "Hey, it's either shopping or staying in this apartment for the rest of your lives."

The Stark cousins laughed at the others resigned expressions. "Alright, you two can come with Banner and I to go shopping tomorrow."

"Actually, I might need to come as well," Addie threw in. Tony gave her a confused look before she elaborated. "With the rate Thor eats I'll need to stock up on food."

"Oh, makes sense now."

"Plus, I'd never miss out on the chance on hanging out with my two favourite guys." Tony gave an exasperated sigh before shaking his head.

"And this is why you don't live with me. You'd get in the way of all the experiments." Addie gave a cheeky grin before Tony's phone went off. "Speak of the devil," he muttered before answering.

Addie turned away and quickly gave a look over Thor and Loki. The first looked like he might be a size more than Steve. Actually, probably three sizes more than Steve. And Loki would probably be between Tony and Steve. But he looked like he would where more expensive clothing.

"Alright, that was Banner. He says that there was a news report on a strange circle out in Minnesota. Hawkeye is going down there to check it out but he wants me home to help him out on some research," Tony told her. Addie nodded and hugged the man before letting him stand up. "Be good," he gave her a mock stern look, the beginnings of a smile on his lips before turning to the other two men. "And you two, no making things hard for my cousin."

I own none of the Marvel characters. Though I do take claim to Addie. You can't have her!
