Well, obviously the whole thing where I stormed off didn't work the way I had planned. I had planned to grump for somewhere around 48 hours. Then (at home) the strangest thing happened. I was sitting on the roof(don't ask) eating dumplings that I had grabbed on the way out, when I found a goat. I know, I know, somewhere between 'so what if a goat got loose from a zoo or something' and 'was it just on the street?' but no, this was weirder. There was a goat that nudged me from behind. I almost fell off the roof. "what are you doing here?" I asked aloud. Then it responded "eh, mostly freaking somebody out 'cause they need to stop sulking" hang on. I want my life to just pause for me here.(sadly, it didn't) I KNOW that voice. That's my best friends voice… NO. just no. There is no way even my life is that strange. Right? Then the goat became my best friend (I realize that that was predictable as I'll get out, but I had been sulking for upwards of 2 hours so my brain had yet to wake up) "Liz?" "naw, I thought it was some other best friend that knows you only come on the roof when your sulking." (drip, drip.) I was opening and closing my mouth but no sound was coming out. "PLEASE tell me that you had no idea at all whatsoever about my parents being almost as weird as me?" I managed. "OOOh-kaaaay. What did they do?" "lets go somewhere we can talk." "race ya." she responded without missing a beat.
We lived near a river, and there was a deserted area with a large tree that we used as a clubhouse-ish thing. She got there first, but I- yeeeaah never mind I have no excuse. Once we were in the tree I stared at her. "Okay. Explain the goatness now." "long story short- there is no short version so get comfy." I laughed. "Okay, so, you know how I have been an orphan forever? And superheroes are, like, always orphans? Thats my best guess." "I had to get comfy for that?" "whatever. Your turn. What did your parents do?" "you know how I have an imaginary marvel universe of my own? Not so imaginary and my parents visit it too." her jaw dropped so fast it was comical. Then there was that miscievious look that was what got us the nickname 'terrible two's ' as kids. Whenever we were near each other, we caused trouble. Every. Single. Time. "Can you take people with you?" "but I'm still sulking at my parents!" she just raised an eyebrow at me. "fiiiine." I grumbled.
At the tower
"hey guys." I said to Clint and Natasha. Then did a double take. "your normal!" "Excuse me?" said Clint. I laughed. "good to have you back, robin hood." I said. Liz gawked. "I know, I'm overwhelmingly awesome today, aren't I?" she pretended not to notice him and walked over to Natasha. "HUGE fan, can I get your autograph?" she was obviously messing with clint, but I'm sure she did actually want her autograph. Just as Natasha started to smile and pull out a pen, the whole building began to shake. We were over by the window and knocked toward it. The last conscious thought I had was note to self: remind stark to get bulletproof glass windows before crashing strait through it.
It has been so long but I- yeeah I have no excuse. Sorry! I tried to add a little bit more stuff from home in this one. Please review and let me know what you thought, or what you want me to do next. Or just to let me know you're reading. Pleeeeeeaaaaaase?
