Rustle
Finally the clock struck nine but instead of going home I'm directed to a limo just sitting on the road. "Get in." The guards growl and I do as in told. I pray that I'd have the car to myself. That's not what happens. Soon the other avengers arrive all of them pushing inside for the ride. While Steve, Clint, and Natasha sit across from me Tony and Thor sit beside me.
Music starts playing, the saxophone made a slow majestic sound even though it played such a low sound. Tony reaches out to the small bar pour himself a glass of some type of liquor before chugging it down. The awkwardness in the air was rolling in waves but easily disappeared when Clint cracked a joke.
They were talking laughing and for a moment it felt as though the attention wasn't on me. The the black stary sky was flashing by through the window overhead. I leaned on Thor who was in the middle of telling a glorious fight that seemed to be make believe. Closing my eyes for a minute I felt a prod at my stomach, at first i thought it was just the baby kicking but then i felt it slide against my skin. I jolt awake and raise my hand to the person who'd done it. Once the rage subsided i could see a amost blood red hand print on Tonys cheek. His hand was firmly over my stomach and was pressing down. For a moment everything went quiet, everyone stared at Tony judging, thank goodness they could see the hand under my sweater or else this could've ended badly. Suddenly a weak and barely felt kick came from the baby, they tossed and turned pushing against the flesh that surrounded it.
Tonys face lit up with wonder forgetting the sting on his cheek at what he was feeling ' what was that?' Had been writen all over his face. He would've pressed further, that i can tell, but i didn't allow him. I pulled his hand away in haste. "Are you ok, sir?" Asked Steve, i nodded my head before laying on Thors arm again. I was hoping to forget but i could help but notice Tony flexing his hand, shit. It was pretty clear i was pissed so i wasn't bothered any more than that.
The ride was less chatty after that but chatty nevertheless. After about an hour we arrived, the lights were bright and blinding while all lights on the inside were off. When the doors opened Tony was the first leave the limo and made a beeline to the elevator also inside.
Ah, so this is what I have to live with for the rest of the... Wait, how long will i be here? I ask the others but they just simply shrug.
