Assembling Required

Author's Note: Some Drama in this chapter. And The Coffee Den is just a random name I found on Google. No idea if it's a real place or not. Oh, and any ideas on what else should happen? Pranks among the teachers? Because I've never really pranked anyone...so...accepting ideas! Since one of the romances has kinda already been revealed, I'm just going to change the characters thingy. Yes, some of the teachers lives are going to be more mentioned, but hopefully in later chapters.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned.

4. The Coffee Den

Ring! The school bell rang and students all quickly left the school, probably to go hang at the mall.

"Hey, Nat!" Clint called after his best friend.

"Yes?" Natasha spun around.

"Are we still meeting at The Coffee Den?" Clint asked.

"Don't we always? Five bucks says Tony will try to bring the newbie along."

"Deal." Clint noticed the red rose peeking out of Natasha's tote bag. "Another flower?"

"Yeah, I don't even know who's giving me these. It's not you, is it?"

Clint shook his head. "Nope."


"Peter, the teachers usually go to a place called The Coffee Den, since you've unofficially joined our little group; I'm taking you along." Tony announced when all the students left.

"Uh…sure. I just need to tell Gwen." Peter was happy; he already made friends on the first day.

"Ah, you're so smitten with her." Tony laughed.


Bruce arrived at The Coffee Den first. The waiter led him to their usual spot, one of the more private rooms for VIP customers. Tony had that room reserved permanently. Everyone else came after, and then they ordered.

Bruce just had tea; he would get really hyper with caffeine. Loki and Natasha ordered iced lattes, Tony ordered black coffee, Steve ordered mocha, Thor and Clint got Frappuccinos and Peter just had a cappuccino.

As soon as everyone sat down, Natasha stood up and slammed a red rose on the glass table. Luckily it wasn't too hard, or the glass would definitely break.

"Did any of you put this on my desk?" She looked each of the guys in the eye with a very serious look.

"You know I'm not the secret admirer type." Tony took a sip of his coffee. "Let's face it, Bruce and Thor are totally not romantics, this started last year and Peter is new, Steve is way too shy to even look you in the eye when your top is sometimes unbuttoned, like now."

Steve turned a tomato-red and looked down. He was completely hopeless around women. "So I guess that leaves Clint and Loki." He remarked.

Natasha looked down to see a button had become undone on her blouse and fixed it.

"I knew it! Clint and Natasha, sitting in a tree, k-i-" Tony started to sing, but was silenced by a glare from Clint.

"I already questioned Clint; it wasn't him." Natasha said. She had a way of telling when someone was lying.

"Brother! You did not tell me of this new found love for Natasha?" Thor exclaimed, nearly knocking his drink over. All heads turned to look at Loki.

"Plot twist…" Bruce mumbled.

A faint shade of pink appeared on Loki's cheeks. "I do not think of Natasha that way…" He mumbled.

Natasha walked over to Loki and leaned over to him, looking him in the eye. Fortunately, Loki was also a very skilled liar and could control his emotions well.

"Okay, fine." Natasha went back to her seat after sensing Loki wasn't lying. Loki let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. His secret was safe for now.

"But then if it isn't any of you, then who is it?" Peter asked. That was what seemed to be on everyone's mind. The drinks were finished in silence and they all left after paying.

"Well that was dramatic." Peter thought to himself as he walked back to his apartment.


Author's Note: So there we go. I have no idea what I should put in the next chapter though...some more Loki and Natasha moments or other things? Leave a review saying what you want to see and I might put it in!
