Writer's Note: Okay, first thing: I'm so sorry for this late update but school happened. I had paper...after paper...after paper...after(guess) paper. Thankfully I only have one more of those things to write, so I decided to take a break and update this fanfic of mine.
To be honest I don't know what to think of this chapter, some parts came out really well and others feel forced. Oh well. All in all I like how the twilight arc ended. As the ended of this arc sets up a lot of stuff that will become important in later chapters. Yes my friends...the first hints of PLOT happen here. I know...it scares me too.
Another Note: This chapter makes fun of Loki fangirls. Now let me get this across I have no problem with Loki fangirls. I just getting a bit tired of all the "Loki is the best avenger"(HE ISN'T EVEN A BLOODY AVENGER) on Tumblr. Seriously if I see one more, "BUT HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD." I will throw my computer out a window.
Warnings: The usually crackyness. A lot with one of our two homosexual boys finally making out. Joy is had by all, but mostly me. Also twilight bashing. So if you like Twilight...may not be a good idea to read this chapter...just saying. Also trigger warning, wolves die in this chapter. There is talk of blood and jumping off cliffs. So yeah, this chapter gets into some stuff...be warned.
Pairings: Steve/Tony, Loki/Thor, one sided! Chekhov/Steve, Bros!Clint and Bruce/Hulk and Clint/Natasha.
Disclaimer: Sadly I still do not own the avengers, or any of the marvel characters that appear in this fanfiction. Woe is me. Well at least I still own Chekhov, The Narrator, and the little old lady! That something right? *sobs endlessly*

Chapter Thirteen- In which one of our want-to-be-lovers gets together(FINALLY)
Finding deer was a lot harder than the avengers had thought it would be. As Tony drank from Steve, the other avengers(plus Loki) searched the woods for some deer but had yet to find any. In fact it was starting to get annoying.
"For the love of god, where the hell are the deer? I'm staving over here!" Clint moaned, swinging his head back and hitting Hulk's cheek.
The hulk growled his agreement, petting his stomach with his right hand. "Hulk is so hungry..."
Natasha, who had up to this point been staring at Clint with a 'Why-are-you-riding-the-hulk's-shoulder-when-you-have-two-working-legs' look, turned her attention to the hulk.
"Don't worry, they have to be here somewhere and if not we can drink from another creature."
Clint glared down at her, "Not to rain on your parade there Nat but if you haven't noticed...we been in these woods for hours and we haven't seen ONE animal."
The others all looked at each other in realization, Clint was right. So far all they had seen were trees and then more trees. Their were no signs of live in the woods besides from them.
It was then that the smell of blood came on the horizon, and the avengers(plus Loki) froze.
Clint was the first to speak, "Oh god is that blood?!" He moaned, and with that he was jumping of the hulk's shoulder and running in the direction of the smell.
"Cupid wait for Hulk!" The Hulk cried out, taking off after Clint. The other quickly followed after.
A little old lady, on her way back to her home caught a site of them and nearly did a double take. For before her eyes a group of grown ass men and women were running like mad men. Their tongues rolling out of their mouths and their eyes as wide as saucers.
Looking down at her toe pie, the old lady mumbled to herself, "I knew I shouldn't have left the house today...but no 'I need my pie nanny!' 'can't go get my self nanny'...''I have to do my nails nanny!'..." She continued to mumble to herself as she turned and walked away.
Back with our main characters, they had finally found food in the form of a pack of wolves. Not werewolves but normal everyday wolves. The blood they had smelled had came from a deer that the wolves had been eating when they were set abound by hungry vampires.
Note: killing someone when their eating is way rude. At least wait til they have finished for god's shake.
But no, the avengers attack and killed them.
As the gang drank(the hulk had turned back to Bruce at this point, because really no one else would get any blood if Hulk was in control doing the feeding), Loki could be see staring at Thor. This in its self was not surprising, as Loki could found staring at Thor 99 percent of any day. The one percent of days, he was busy being locked in some prison having venom being dripped in his eyes. Good times. Anyway this time was different because Loki was looking at Thor with love in his eyes. Even though blood was dripping down Thor's face.
Now it can be said that Loki is a kinky guy, in fact the Narrator feels that to go into detail about this will raise the rating to high, so I wont go into details. Anyway the site of Thor covered in blood was hot for Loki, as he was at this point pretty much drooling over him.
Now Thor may be oblivious, but even he could sense that he was being stared at, and so he looked up at Loki.
"What is wrong brother? Is your wolf not to your liking?" Thor asked worryingly, rasing one blood stain hand to touch his brother's.
Loki stared down at their hands, for a moment, before looking into Thor's beautiful blue eyes and saying, "Its fine, I was just distracted by how beautiful you are."
A 'awww' could be heard coming from somewhere, most likely from the herd of fangirls that followed Loki where ever he went, as Thor turned a bright red.
"Well...thank you brother. You are beautiful as well!" He said happily, unaware that he had just made Loki's day.
Watching the two of them was Clint, who was looking more sicken by them by the second. At Thor's words he could take it no longer. He let his wolf fall from his mouth and stood facing the two.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD YOU TWO JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY?! THIS IS JUST GETTING TIRING!" Clint yelled.
Loki turned a bright red, and Thor just blinked at him, "Friend Clint...I do not understand..."
"Do you want me to spell out to you? Loki LIKES you. Now could please make out, before the tension kills us all...god. We already have to deal with Steve and Tony all the time! I don't want to deal with you two guys as well!" Clint said angrily, before sitting back down and digging into his wolf.
Loki and Thor sat there, looking shocked at Clint's out burst. Before turning back to each other.
Thor was the first to speak, "Brother...is what my friend Clint says true? Do you like me?" He said shyly, as some teen pop artist started singing in the background.
Peter looked up his wolf, "Where in the world is that music coming from? And what does teen pop have to do with vampires?'
"Shhh!" Natasha, jumped up and put her hand over Peter's mouth, "Thor and Loki are about to get together. Trust me this is a big deal...so be quiet." She whispered , focussing her attention on the two gods.
She wasn't the only one, all the avengers were watching them as well as the Narrator. Who watched from above...
Loki's fangirls waiting in horror, for they knew when Loki got with Thor...they themselves could never have him. The horror that they would never get a chance to fix him and stroke his cheek bones!
After what seemed like years, but in reality only a couple seconds, Loki answered his brother, "Yes Thor. I'm in love with you and I have been for a very long time."
Everything fell into silence. No one dared to even breathe as they all waiting for Thor's response.
It was then that the Narrator decided to switch attention over to Steve and Tony. Cause he is evil and enjoys teasing his readers.
Tony was still drinking from Steve, his arms wrapped around Steve's body holding him close to him. If he had been in the right mind he would have enjoyed the fact that he finally had Steve in his arms but at the moment the sweet blood all he cared about.
Chekhov, finally moved, as he been froze in shock since the moment Steve threw him, and rushed up to Tony and Steve. He quickly pulled Tony off Steve and set him flying over his shoulder. Catching Steve as he fell over from the blood lost.
Tony growled, "Take your hands off Steve!" He ran at Chekhov determined to rip his stupid little werewolf head off when Fury stepped in the way and punched him inn the face.
Tony went down hard, "What the hell Fury?"
Fury one eye glared at him, "Snap out of it Stark...or I will be force to use more force."
Tony looked confused for a second, until finally he came back to his senses. The smell of blood was still in the air, but it no longer attracted him. In stead it filled him with horror, as he turn to look at Steve. Who at the moment was freakishly pale and fighting to stay awake.
"Oh god what have I done?" Tony cried, the taste of Steve's blood still on his lips.
"I'll tell you what you did!" Chekhov cried out angrily, holding Steve close to himself, "You drank too much! If I hadn't step in you would have killed him!"
Horror, and self hate filled Tony's mind. He had actually almost taken Steve's life. He was a monster, a horrible monster.
With wide eyes, and guilt in his heart, Tony ran off.
Steve, gripping Chekhov's arm for strength, cried out after him, "Wait Tony!". He coughed, and tried to stand. "Tony come back! I'm fine!"
Chekhov just held him tighter, "You are not fine!" He ran a hand though Steve's hair, "You lost a lot of blood...you need to rest."
Steve moaned, still trying to stand, "But Tony..."
Chekhov took a breath, trying to keep his jealously under control, "I will go get him.."
Steve smiled weakly up at him, "Thank you."
Chekhov nodded, before handing over Steve to Fury, who had joined the two of them on the ground.
"Take care of him."
"I will."
So with that Chekhov went after Tony, hoping that the idiot hadn't done anything to himself or Steve would never forgive him...
Meanwhile back with your love stricken gods...
Thor was speechless, something that no one thought could be possible, as he stared at Loki. The pop singer was now getting louder, that the trees themselves seemed to shake by the music force. In fact it was so loud that no one heard or saw Tony run by.
Finally Thor opened his mouth, "I...Loki...I"
Everyone leaded in. The Narrator focussed down on them and waiting. This is what he been waiting for. Yes, his plan was to get Steve and Tony together...as they were his one true pairing but he wanted the gods together as well.
Yes you read right, the Narrator. The greatest enemy the avengers have ever fought is a shipper.
Thor blushed, "Loki." He looked Loki straight in the eye, determined to say what he wanted to say, "I love you too."
It was then that the heavens sang in glee(or the pop singer had hit a note way to high). The Loki fangirl cried, as they lost their chance with Loki forever and the avengers smiled. For they, being Thor's friends, knew of his feelings from the get go.
To say Loki was in shock would be putting it mildly. He had never dreamed in his millions of years that Thor would love him back. (Though how he still thinks this when he knows he is Thor's true love is beyond me).
After the shock passed, Loki smiled. A true smile, one that happened ever once a million years. It shined with love and happiness. He reached out over the dead wolf and took Thor's face in his hands. In a quick movement he leaded over and kisses Thor's lips.
Time seemed to slow down, as the two kissed. Uncaring that blood was dripping from Thor's beard and that a wolf ghost was glaring at them both. They were happy and in love.
Naturally the Narrator, being a asshole along with a shipper, decided that now was the time to mention Tony.
"Not to ruin the moment but you may want to go to the cliff just outside the trees over there..."
Clint turned away from the gods kiss, "And why would we want to do that?"
"Cause Tony is about to jump off it."
Sure enough Tony stood at the end of the cliff, staring down into the dark waters below. 'I wonder...how far up is this cliff?' He turned his head to the right, taking notice of a illusion of Steve that stood there. "Ah, it appears my guilt has finally decided to speak up."
Illusion Steve just stared at him.
"Aren't you suppose to be telling me how much of a monster I am and how I deserve to die for hurting you? Cause got to say that is what I'm thinking right now..."
Illusion Steve shook his head, "No Tony, you are not a monster. I was the one that gave you permission to drink from me. So you went to far, it was accident and I'm fine. So please turn around and come back to me."
Tony narrowed his eyes, "For a spirit of my guilt your not doing a good job bringing on the guilt."
Illusion Steve smiled, "Cause you know deep down that the real Steve Rogers would never want you to blame yourself. Its okay Tony, I'm okay. So please step away from the cliff..." Illusion Steve stopped then, before lowering his voice(sounding almost like he was in tears), "Please...I don't want you to die."
Tony took a step back from the cliff, wait a second...why had he come to this cliff? Usually he would just drink his body weight in beer or punish himself with self hate, he was never planned or tried jumping off cliffs. Mainly because cause jumping off cliffs were for . So what gives?
"Well its because we haven't had a reference to the original Twilight in a awhile...so I decided to bring in the cliff scene."
Tony glared up at the sky, feeling so angry he might just turn into the hulk, "So I'm Bella now? And why this scene? What is so great about a scene where we learn how man needing Bella is?"
The Narrator raised his invisible shoulders, "I don't know but for some reason this is the scene everyone talks about..."
"Because its horrible!"
Before Tony could get any more angry at the asshole for making take part in one of the stupidest scene in literature history, he heard noises.
"TONY. IF YOUR THROWING YOUR SELF HAVE A CLIFF RIGHT NOW...I WILL PERSONALLY BRING YOU BACK TO LIVE AND KICK YOUR ASS." Natasha roared, as he came out running from the trees.
Tony took two whole steps back from the cliff's edge, "Um hi Nat. As you can see...no cliff jumping going on here."
Natasha went up to him and hit him, "You idiot what were you thinking?!"
Before Tony could open his mouth and defend himself...
"STARK! There you are!" Chekhov yelled out, also stepping out of the woods. Still shirtless and looking a bit put out. "I'm come after you to say I'm sorry...I was to hard on you back there...and are Thor and Loki making out?"
Tony took a look, yup they were. It seems upon seeing that Tony was fine, the two had gone back to kissing.
"So I'm guessing Loki finally make a move?"
Natasha glared at him, "Don't think you can change the topic...what were you thinking Tony and where is Steve?'
Before Tony could answer...again he was interrupted. He was so going to make it against the law to interrupt him when he got back home...
"Well both of those questions will be answered...don't you think we could do with a different setting?" The Narrator said. At the end of his words the world seemed to vade around them and the avengers felt there vampire powers fade.
"Where are you taking us this time Narrator?!" Tony growled, looking around for Steve. Hoping against all hope that the Narrator would send him to the same world. Tony needed to make sure Steve was okay...
The Narrator smirked, as a very familiar song started to play then. A song, with no lyrics. Well known to basically every child and young adult.
"That song..." Peter whispered, amazed, "I know that song...it can't be are we actually going to..."
With a pop they starting falling and the Narrator let out one last sentence before darkness took them...
"Welcome my friends to a world of magic..."
End of Chapter 13~!
