Well, like every story, this one has to end as well. It was fun writing this, and I want to thank all of you for reading it all the way through and taking the time to review or favorite or follow or just even comment on it in your head.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC Robin.

After our shawarma, we had all headed back to Stark Tower to get our things ready. After all, not everyone lived in Stark Tower, most of us stayed there only during emergencies, or even for little team vacations. I stood outside of the building, staring at the carnage surrounding the area and the destroyed landscape before me. It was going to take a long while before the city became itself again, and a lot of stores and businesses would be closed until their respective buildings were repaired. Even my favorite ice cream shop got destroyed. I sighed sadly; I wouldn't be having my stress-reliever ice cream for a while. Thankfully, the damage wouldn't be permanent. Loki had soon joined me, standing beside me and chuckling softly, "Still want that ruined city picture?"

I looked at him in confusion for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the time I had wanted a picture of a destroyed New York the first time the Chitauri had attacked us. That seemed so long ago now, and we had come a long way since then. I giggled, "Nah, I'm good," I looked once again to the city before me, "They really did a number on this place, huh?"

He nodded, "Yes, indeed they did. But I fear that this was only a warning. They will return eventually, better equipped to fight us."

"And when they do," I replied, "we'll be ready for them, won't we?"

"Yes."

"Besides," I added with a sly grin, "after how badly they got their asses kicked today, I don't think they'll even dare to show their faces around here for a long time."

Loki chuckled and smiled at me, "Indeed. We showed them not to mess with us." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders, "The others are getting ready to depart. Shall we see them off?"

I nodded, "Sure," and then I added with a sigh, "but now that Natasha's leaving, I won't have a sparring buddy."

He chuckled, "Do not worry, she will be back."

"But we'll never know when," I replied before we headed over to where the others had gathered. Clint and Natasha already had their bags in her black car and they were just getting ready to head out. Natasha noticed me and waved. I walked over to her, "Safe travels," I said when I was in front of her and Clint.

She nodded, "Thanks."

"Where are you headed?"

"We're going to the SHIELD Headquarters before we get sent on another mission," Clint said, "besides, we still have to tell Fury about the new Avenger," he gestured subtly at Loki.

"Good luck with that," I said, "you never know how he'll react."

"Shouldn't be too bad," Natasha said, "A lot of people had witnessed him help us out with the battle."

"True," I replied, "Just promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Next time you go on a super awesome spy mission, kick a ton of ass for me."

Natasha and Clint laughed. "Can do, Robin," Natasha said after she finished her laugh. They then waved one last good bye to us before getting in their car and driving away.

I headed over to Bruce, "How about you, big guy?" I inquired, "Where are you going next?"

Bruce smiled, "Actually, I'll be staying at the tower for a while longer. I managed to salvage one of the Chitauri weapons after the battle. Stark and I will be researching it in the labs for a while and hopefully we'll be able to figure out how to locate their magic so that we'll be prepared the next time something like this happens."

I nodded, "Sounds good, dude."

I looked over to Thor when I heard him speak, "Shall we head back to Asgard, brother?"

Loki looked up, "What?"

"We must tell Father of your glorious deed. There shall be a feast for you indeed," Thor said heartily.

Loki was silent in thought for a while. I sighed and looked at the ground sadly. Of course he'd go back to Asgard. He wouldn't leave as a prisoner, but as a hero. He'd get the recognition he's always wanted and he would have a happy life in his old home. Of course, I was happy for him, don't get me wrong, but I didn't want him to leave. So far, after this whole hectic fiasco, he was the best thing that had ever happened to me. Loki finally spoke up, "That sounds great but," I looked up at him when he had paused and found him staring at me, "I think I'll stay here on Midgard for a while," he finished. I couldn't help but look at him in surprise for a bit before smiling brightly at him.

Thor glanced at me and then looked back to Loki, chuckling softly, "Very well. Farewell, my friends." We all waved good bye to Thor before he vanished in a brief flash of light, well on his way back to his home.

Loki spoke up after Thor had left, "I will need a place to stay for a while."

"That's no problem," Stark said, "You already have your own room in Stark Tower, now."

"But if you don't want to stay there," I said, butting in on the conversation, "Steve and I have a guest room at our house."

"Hey, that's my room!" Ayame protested.

"Oh right, forgot about that." I looked to Stark and grinned, "Wanna switch house guests?"

"Hey!" Ayame exclaimed.

I laughed, and the others had joined in a bit, "Only joking, girly!" I said.

"I thought we said sisters before misters," she replied with a faked pout.

"Well, that was before I met a really sexy mister," I said quietly.

Loki chuckled, "I can just stay at Stark Tower."

I smiled, "Oh, all right, but be prepared for daily visits from this psycho," I pointed to myself for emphasis.

He grinned, "I shall look forward to them."

"Wait a minute!" Ayame exclaimed suddenly, "Robby, you promised me that you'd ask Thor to take me with him the next time he went to Asgard!"

I widened my eyes. After all that had happened, I completely forgot about that promise. "Oh, sorry, forgot about that! Next time. Next time I will. Remind me to."

"Dammit! I was so looking forward to seeing that rainbow bridge, too!"

All of the Avengers that were left laughed before we all said our temporary good byes and headed our separate ways. After so many exciting and stressful months, it was good to be finally heading home for a well deserved rest.

Thank you all for reading! I'll have the first chapter for my next fanfiction up hopefully soon. It's going to be a prequel to this current one, and I'm still trying to figure out a title for it. I always have trouble with that. XD
