"Hey Bruce. Is Tony there?" I ask through the phone.

"No, but he should be back soon. I can tell him you're looking for him."

"No, no. I just wanted to talk to you. I'll be right there." I hang up, and walk to the lab. I swing the door open and go over to Bruce. "Hey."

"Hi. I feel like we haven't talked in a while." He puts down his things.

"Yeah. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. How are you?"

"I'm okay. You?"

"I'm good."

"Okay, so I know you heard what Tony said the other day." I pause, but all Bruce does is take off his glasses. "We were kind of... you know... but only once in a while. And then I told him that Peter was staying with us, and I suppose he was still mad about when I did that with Loki, as well as I got mad at him for being a complete asshole. So there's nothing going on between us anymore. Not that there really was in the first place. I knew he was still in love with Pepper, but I was still hurt when he said. There was no emotion behind it. Like I'm just some random chick he picked up at a bar." I sigh, and Bruce gives me a hug.

"Listen kiddo. It'll be okay. I know you're probably overwhelmed right now, but just take it easy. Don't stress yourself out too much. Trust me." Just as he says that, Tony walks in.

"I should go. I love you, Bruce." I give him a quick kiss on the cheek, and walk towards the door. I see Tony open his mouth to say something, but I just walk out before he can say anything.

As we walk out of the throne room, Loki still offering his support to me, I hear footsteps approaching from behind.

"Brother, wait!" He caught up with us pretty easily. "Lady Y/n, I am truly sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine losing both of your parents, and to have the person you trust the most betray you in such a way."

"It is alright, Prince Thor. It is not your fault. However, I am not a Lady."

"Nonsense!" He boomed. "Your father was an honoured guard. He taught me to fight, you know. I remember you were almost always at the palace."

"I did love to learn how fight. I wanted to be a Valkyrie when I grew up." I smile. We continue to walk, but Loki didn't say anything.

"I am quite sure once you are healed, we would be evenly matched in a fight." Thor laughed.

"I could not do that Prince. I wouldn't want to get in trouble for fighting a prince of Asgard. Also, I'm quite sure you would beat me. I haven't fought in quite some time."

"That is no problem at all. I will go easy on you, Lady Y/n." He laughed. "Well, I must go now. Take care, my Lady."

"You as well, Prince." I bow slightly, and so does he, before he walks away.

"What would like to do?" Loki asks me.

"Do you have a library?" I ask hopefully.

"Of course." He smirks. "I love reading."

"Could we go there?" He nods and guides me down a few hallways.

"That's when I truly started liking your presence. I finally had someone other than my mother to talk to about the intellectual side of life." Loki explains. I look of grief flashes across his face.

"I'm sorry for your loss." I say, resting my hand on his gently.

"Thank you, Y/n. It truly means a lot. Though I would've liked for her to see you one last time." He smiles sadly.

"I'm sorry about your mom. I know it's really hard losing someone that important."

"Thank you, Peter." He replies. They smile at each other, which causes me to smile.

"You guys wanna do something? I'm kinda bored." Peter asks.

"Sure." I say standing up. "What do wanna do?" Peter shrugs, and Loki looks at me expectantly. "Let's get the others together as well." I say. I send a group text to everyone. "Let's go downstairs and get this party started."

•••

"Alright everyone. Here's the plan. Loki, Peter and I are gonna go get the pizza, snacks drinks, whatever else. Steve, Bruce, Vision, you guys get any other snacks or cook or something. Wanda, Tony, Nat, Clint, think of game ideas. You six can work together too, but that's your choice. Everyone got it?" Everyone nods, or says yes. "Alrighty ladies and gents. It gonna be a great night. And break." I clap and everyone gets into their assigned groups to start their task. "Let's go." I grab Loki and Peter's hands and teleport us to the city. "Okay. This shouldn't take long." We go into a nearby pizza place and order multiple pizzas. Cheese, Hawaiian, Meat-Lovers, and Pepperoni. I get Peter to stay there and wait for them, while me and Loki get the other things.

We go into a store to get the chips and other party snacks, as well as the drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. After I pay, we go back to the pizza place.

"Hey, are they done yet?" I ask Peter.

"No, not yet. It shouldn't take too long though."

"Good. I can't wait to go home. We're in for an interesting night, kiddo." I smile. After the man hands Peter the pizza, we walk outside. I hand Loki the bags, and grab both of their shoulders, transporting us home.

"Honey! I'm home!" I giggle.

"Hello, darling!" Clint jokes.

"Woah, watch it Clint. Nat might get jealous." I wink. Both of them stick their tongues out at me, and I laugh. "You two are perfect for each other." I walk into the kitchen. "Hey guys."

"Hey! Did you get the pizza and snacks and stuff?" Steve asks.

"You know it. You done cooking?"

"Yeah. We made some dips for the chips." Bruce smiles.

"I helped." Vision mentions.

I laugh. "Great job guys. Come on let's take the food out to the living room." They grab the food and follow me out to the living room. The others are already sitting in a circle around the room and the food we just bought is spread out on the table. "You guys are done thinking of games right?"

"Yes. It was quite difficult though." Wanda answers.

"But we managed." Tony says. I nod and sit down.

"Cool. Let's get this party started!"
