Fated Marks

The rest of the week went about pretty normal. Clint and Natasha didn’t come back that night since they got called out on a potential lead on their ghost. I helped out in the lab when I wasn’t running errands or planning a charity gala.

Then came Friday, the day of my date with Thor. There was only one problem… Thor still hadn’t come back. Also what do you wear to a date with an Asgardian prince?

These were the things I was panicking over when the sunny sky suddenly because dark and cloudy. There were clashes of thunder before a beam of light crashed onto the balcony and Thor appeared.

“Hayley!” Thor cheered.

“Thor!” I said returning the enthusiasm.

“I have returned and have missed you.” Thor said pulling me into a hug.

“Missed you too buddy, it was really quiet while you were gone.” I said.

“Are you prepared for our date?” He asked.

“I actually needed to ask about that, I kind of need to know what I’m dressing for.” I said.

“I believe I have the solution to your quandary. A gift from my mother.” Thor said.

“You told your mom about me? Your mom sent me a gift?
I said shocked.

“Aye, she was very happy to hear I finally met you.” Thor said. “She also reprimanded me for not telling you what we were doing so she sent this to apologize for my lack of manners.”

“She shouldn’t have and you’ve been everything but lacking manners.” I said.

“Well…” Thor said.

“Nope not going there today.” I stopped him before he started. “Please thank your mom for me.”

“She also wished for me to convey her wishes to meet you soon.” Thor said.

“Oh, that’d be nice.” I said. No one I had ever dated ever introduced me to their parents and I just realized Thor was the only one of my soulmates that actually still had parents around. And they were a king and queen of an entire realm… gods even…

“Something troubling you?” Thor said looking concerned.

“Oh nothing just got lost in thought.” I said. “I should get going. Have to get ready for our date.”

“I shall await your return.” Thor said.

I went down to my room and hopped in the shower. I quickly blow dried my hair and decided to go with a simple half up half down style. I curled my hair a bit and then decided to put on the dress Thor’s mother had sent for me. When I opened the pack I gasped. The dress was gorgeous, I had never seen anything like it before. I was a blue floor length gown with an intricate beaded bodice and a silhouette neckline. The back of the dress was sheer and beaded with intricate details.

I slipped it on and it fit me like a glove, which made it really hard to button it up.

“Jarvis, is Natasha back yet?” I said.

“Miss Romanoff has just arrived Miss Adams.” Jarvis said.

“Can you ask her to come please?” I said.

“Miss Romanoff is on her way.” Jarvis said. A minute later I heard the elevator doors open.

“Hayley?” Natasha called out.

“In here.” I answered.

“Jarvis said you needed…krasivaya.” Natasha said.

“Is that a good thing?” I asked.

“You look beautiful.” Natasha said making me blush.

“Thank you. Thor’s mom sent me this dress for our date. It fits great I just can’t button it up, would you mind?” I asked.

“Of course.” Natasha said moving behind me. I felt he slowly work her way up my back until she finished. “Perfect.”

“Thank you.” I said.

“Anytime.” Natasha said still not taking her eyes off of me. “Ready?”

“Yeah, I’ve kept him waiting long enough.” I said.

“Has he told you where you’re going?” Natasha asked.

“No clue. Does Thor even know how to drive?” I asked.

“I’ve seen him throw a car not actually drive one.” Natasha said as we got in the elevator. As soon as we walked into the common room, everyone stopped their chatting and stared at me.

“You look beautiful.” Thor said.

“Thank you, your mom has great taste.” I said. Then I saw bright flashes of light.

“I have to make a record of this, you never dress up.” Will said.

“Dude be cool.” I said.

“My baby sister’s all grown up.” Will said.

“We should go before the waterworks start.” I said.

“Aye, shall we.” Thor said offering me his arm.

“Of course.” I said.

“No glove no love.” Will said.

“Will!” I said annoyed. I followed Thor to the balcony. “I thought we were going to dinner?”

“We are.” He said pulling me close. Suddenly a beam of light came down on us and we were flying. When we landed I lost my footing but luckily Thor still had his arm around me and steadied me. I looked around and we were in a golden room.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“Welcome to Asgard.” Thor said.

Third Person’s POV-

“Did he just…” Will started.

“Yeah, that just happened.” Clint said.

“I need to step up my game.” Tony said.

“What did you have planned?” Steve asked.

“Dinner on the beach.” Tony said.

“Ooh.” Will said. “Tough act to follow.”

“I need to make some calls.” Tony said.

Hayley’s POV-

“Asgard as in the place you’re from Asgard?” I said.

“I wasn’t aware there was any other Asgard.” Thor said playfully.

“There is none.” Someone else answered.

“Hayley, meet Heimdall, gatekeeper to Asgard and the other realms.” Thor said.

“Hi.” I said awkwardly.

“It is an honor to meet you Lady Hayley.” Heimdall said.

“The honor’s mine, you’re a legend like literally a legend back on Earth.” I said.

“Come now, our date awaits.” Thor said.

“Enjoy your night.” Heimdall said. We walked out of the golden room and onto a bridge.

“Whoa, This is an amazing view.” I said. I could see the entire city and a huge towering building at the center that must have been the palace. The drawings in mythology books

“It is indeed.” Thor said and I could tell we weren’t talking about the same view. “Your chariot awaits.” And low and behold there was an horse drawn chariot waiting for us.

“You’re pulling out all the stops aren’t you?” I said.

“I may be making up for leaving all of this week.” Thor said feeling a bit guilty.

“You don’t have to, you have responsibilities just like the rest of us.” I said. “As long as you all come back in one piece I’ll wait.”

“You’re incredible.” He said leaning down and gently kissing me. I felt Thor put his hands on my waist and lift me up catching me by surprise. He smiled before climbing on and taking the reigns. We rode into the city and then took a side route away from the main citadel. I enjoyed watching the scenery around us. It was like something out of a dream.

The chariot finally stopped at a meadow that was next to a cliff overlooking a waterfall. There was a picnic all set up with pillows and blankets.

“This is quite the set up.” I said.

“Is it to your liking?” Thor said.

I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him again. “I like it very much.” I said.

We sat down and started eating. The palace cooks were amazing, I should really ask for the recipe for those fruit tarts.

“My brother and I used to come here with mother as children.” Thor said.

“Your brother Loki?” I asked.

“Aye, he wasn’t always misguided. He and mother were very close, I would even dare say he was in a way her favorite.” Thor said.

“I know the feeling. My mom and brother were the same. He could do no wrong in her eyes. I asked her about it once she said it wasn’t that she loved him more it was just that she had more time with him.” I said.

“Elder brother?” Thor asked.

“Older brother.” I confirmed. The rest of the night he told me about Asgard and what the legends actually did get right. We ended the night by laying back and cuddling as we looked at the stars. It was a great night but there were times I couldn’t help but feel as if we were being watched.

We went back to the Aesir as I learned it was called and we went back to the tower. I didn’t even realize it was so late until I saw the time on the clock.

“I had a great time tonight, thank you.” I said.

“It was an honor to have you accompany me this evening.” Thor said.

“This is my stop.” I said as the elevator got to my floor.

“Aye, Good night Hayley.” Thor said puling me into a surprisingly gentle hug.

“Night.” I said before we looked at each other and closed the gap between up. We started kissing. It started off pretty sweet but then it started getting pretty heated. It wasn’t until that we broke apart for air that we finally let go of each other.

“I should retire for the night.” Thor said.

“Yeah, I should...” I said pointing toward my apartment. “Night.”

“Good night.” I said walking in to the apartment. My face was flushed. I needed to cool down.

The Next Morning-

I woke up to Jarvis alerting me Clint was making waffles. Clint makes the best waffles. I quickly put on my slippers and went upstairs.

“Morning beautiful.” Clint greets.

“Morning.” I said kissing his cheek and grabbing a waffle. “Mhm chocolate chip.”

“How’d the date go?” Natasha asked and I couldn’t help but smile.

“It was good.” I said in a slightly higher pitched voice.

“Just good?” Clint said.

“I don’t kiss and tell.” I said.

“So there was kissing involved.” Natasha said.

“Maybe.” I said stuffing my face with another waffle.

“Sunshine!” Tony cheered as he walked in.

“Hate that name.” I said.

“Ready for our date?” Tony said. “I was thinking if you don’t have anything planned we could make a day out of it?”

“Sure, Just let me get dressed and we can head out.” I said. “Anything I should specifically dress for?”

“Casual and comfortable shoes.” Tony said.

“I can work with that.” I said. We ate breakfast and after I finished I went back downstairs and got dressed. I stuck with a simple grey and white raglan top and some jeans with some walking shoes. I went downstairs to the garage where Tony was already waiting.

“Ready?” He asked.

“Ready. Where we off to?” I asked.

“We have a plane to catch.” Tony said.

“Plane?” I asked.

“What Thor can fly you off to Asgard but I can’t fly you somewhere for a surprise trip say… Disney World?” Tony said.

“Disney World?!” I said getting excited before I remembered that no way should I let this happen, even if it would be a pretty awesome first date.

“I know.” He said. “Pretty great… I got us VIP passes so we don’t have to wait in line.”

“They can do that?” I said. “No wait. We can’t go.”

“What why not I thought you said you were free the entire day?” Tony whined.

“Tony you can’t fly me across the country for a random date.” I said.

“It’s not a random date its our first date, I’m trying to wow you.” Tony said.

“You don’t need to wow me. You fly around in a suit of armor and saved Manhattan by flying a nuke into a wormhole, that’s enough wow for me. The point of a date is to get to know each other and I want to get to know you. Not Iron Man, Not Tony Stark, genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist, The real Tony Stark.” I said.

“So you don’t want to go to Disney World?” Tony said.

“Maybe for a weekend away but we should probably see how this goes first.” I said.

“This means most of my plans for the day.” He said.

“Just go with what you had originally planned.” I said.

“Dinner and a walk on the beach?” he asked.

“I like the beach, a bit early for dinner. How about we take a drive and see where we end up?” I said.

“I can work with that.” He said opening my door for me. I sat down and buckled up. We drove out of the city and ended up in some beach town somewhere.

“It’s good to get out of the city.” I said.

“I miss coming home to this,” he admitted.

“Your house was pretty awesome.” I said.

“I only built it because I wanted to get away from New York. Dad hated the beach so I figured what better way to make my own way than the one place dad avoided.” He said.

“The things we do to get back at our parents.” I said. “One time my mom missed my third grade play, I hacked her computer and played it on a loop for a week straight until she apologized.”

“What play?” Tony asked.

“Musical version of the Wizard of Oz. It was very off key.” I said.

“I would pay to see that. What part did you play?” Tony asked.

“I got to say the most iconic line of the entire book series.” I said.

“I’m drawing blanks.” Tony said.

“I’m melting… I’m melting!” I shrieked making him laugh.

“Now I really want to see that recording.” Tony said still laughing.

“Too bad I got rid of all of the copies of that video.” I said. “You have any embarrassing photos or videos of a younger you?”

“Too many, I’m sure you’ve heard some stories.” He said. “Downside of growing up in the spotlight.”

“Oh come on I’m sure there’s something you and your parents managed to keep quiet.” I said.

“There was that one time I got kicked out of boarding school for blowing up the school’s generator. I was expelled except Howard didn’t want me around so be made a very generous donation so that they’d take me back.” Tony said.

“We moved around a lot so after a couple of schools mom decided to have me homeschooled. It was better than normal school, I got to go at my own pace which was faster than average.” I said.

“Homeschooling would have been better than boarding school, the uniforms, uh plaid is not a good look on me.” Tony said.

“Did you have a sweater vest to match?” I said teasing him.

“No, but the nuns couldn’t stop calling me by my full name. You know you pissed some one off when they call you by your full name… Anthony Edward Stark get back here!” Tony said making me laugh.

“Maybe I should try that sometime.” I said. “And at least you have a pretty common and normal name.”

“You do to, I can’t see anyone making Hayley sound angry.” Tony said.

“Oh Hayley isn’t bad my middle name… that’s a punishment of it’s own.” I said.

“You have a middle name?” Tony said.

“I had it legally removed.” I lied.

“Oh I need to know, Tell me.” He said.

“No, I know you and you’ll never let me live this one down.” I said.

“Come on Hales you know everything about me, you’ve covered some of my more embarrassing moments Please” He said putting his hands together and pleading.

“If you ever repeat what I’m about to say…” I started.

“You know every single thing about me and every possible way to destroy me better than I do.” Tony said.

“Ch..” I mumbled.

“I didn’t catch that.” Tony said.

“Cha….” I whispered.

“I’m sorry.” He said.

“Chauncey.” I said and I could tell he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

“You’re telling me that your name used to be Hayley Chauncey Adams?” He said giggling.

“Unfortunately.” I said and he blurted out laughing.

“HAHAHAHA!!! What would make someone give their kid a name like that…. That’s the name you give a racehorse or a corgi…” he choked out in between laughs.

“Laugh it up.” I said.

“I don’t remember the last time I laughed that hard.” Tony said.

“You know its funny now but a few years ago that would have gotten you punched.” I said.

“Sorry it’s just, I wasn’t expecting that.” Tony said. “Your brother also have an embarrassing name like that?”

I froze at the mention of him.

“Sorry, shouldn’t have brought that up.” Tony said.

“It’s fine.” I said shaking it off.

“You ever going to…” he started

“Nope.” I said.

“We could help.” Tony said.

“Some things are better left in the past. Leave it alone Tony.” I said.

“If it… he ever does come back you’d tell us right?” Tony said.

“Course.” I lied. He didn’t look convinced but dropped the subject.

We eventually got lunch and checked out some of the local sights mostly just a pier and some small shops. We had some yummy churros before we headed back into the city for dinner.

Neither of us were really dressed for a nice dinner so Tony had someone get food delivered to us and had the roof set up with some nice lights and a candle lit dining table.

“The original plan was to have dinner in front of the castle.” Tony said.

“Aww that’s sweet.” I said.

“Most people would have accepted the romantic gesture.” Tony said.

“I’m not most people and I wouldn’t trade our date for anything you had planned.” I said.

“I hired the crew to keep the park open after hours for just the two of us.” Tony said.

“They do that?” I said not expecting that.

“You’d be surprised what money does buy.” Tony said.

“Either way, I like the way our date’s going.” I said.

“Any chances of a second one?” Tony said.

“Still making my mind up about that.” I said with a smirk.

“The night’s still young.” He said.

“Well I am only seventeen and there is a legal curfew so… you got about an hour.” I said taunting him.

“I’ve done more with less.” He said making me laugh.

“You know I used to wonder why the mark on my hip and on my shoulder used to make feel really confident, you and Thor are the most confident people I’ve ever met.” I said.

“He’s a demi god and I’m me.” Tony said. “You up for a movie?”

“Sounds good, Just let me shower and get dressed and I’ll meet you…” I said.

“My place, really want to try out the new theater system.” He said.

“Okay, Meet you there.” I said as I headed back inside. I hopped in the elevator and ran into my apartment to quickly get cleaned up. When I was done I took the elevator up to Tony’s floor. I realized that it was the first time I’d ever been to his floor.

The first thing I noticed was that everything was sleek and modern. It was all monotones. It was darker than I remembered his house in Malibu being but then again this wasn’t Malibu and it didn’t go with the ambiance of the city.

I walked further into the living room and I saw the theater system Tony was talking about,

“Whoa.” I said.

“I know, Pepper said I was crazy but I said go big or go home.” Tony said.

“That is awesome.” I said. The monitors in the Nintendo store were small in comparison.

“So I have a few movies picked out.” Tony said.

“A person’s movie picks says a lot about them.” I said.

“Pirate’s of the Caribbean,” Tony said.

“Eh, not one of Johnny Depp’s best works.” I said.

“Inception.” Tony said.

“First movie Will and I saw together on our first and only date.” I said.

“21 Jump Street.” He said.

“I could use a laugh.” I said.

“21 Jump Street it is.” Tony said. “Jarvis start the movie.”

“Right away sir.” Jarvis said.

We sat down and watched the movie. I was funny how we started off on opposite ends of the couch and slowly ended up cuddling.

“That is an epic bromance.” I said.

“It’s something alright. Pretty funny, not as funny as Chauncey.” He said.

“I never should have told you.” I said.

“It’s not… no actually that’s pretty bad.” He said laughing again.

“I hate you.’ I said.

“No you don’t, you love me.” Tony said.

“I haven’t said that.” I said.

“I vaguely remember the l word being said after the incident in December.” Tony said.

“I believe I did say it was in a platonic sense.” I said.

“Really?”

“Really.” I said.

“So does that mean you’re against doing this.” He said leaning over and kissing me. I couldn’t help but smile as I kissed him back.

“No, we’re not exactly platonic anymore, we’re in a courtship remember?” I said kissing him again.

“So does that mean we get to call you my girlfriend cuz I do want to show you off.” Tony said.

“Then does that mean I have a girlfriend and five boyfriends?” I asked

“We still need to work out some of the logistics.” Tony said kissing me again.

“We should wait on the whole going public, at least until we get more settled in our courtship.” I said. How would going public work, and that would also mean I’d be in the spotlight so how would I stay hidden from…

“Hey, we can figure that stuff out later.” Tony said.

“Yeah, I know.” I said hugging him.

The Next Day-

Thor got called back to Asgard while Tony and I were on our date. Imagine our surprise when he beamed down on the balcony and walked in to the tower in the middle of breakfast.

“Thor!” I cheered going to hug him. I didn’t miss the glum look on his face. He held on to me tight.

“What’s wrong?” Steve asked.

“I bring troublesome news.” Thor said.

“Please tell me Loki isn’t back on Earth.” Clint said.

“My brother remains in his cell in the palace dungeons… but Amora, the enchantress has escaped and is believed to be here on Midgard.” Thor said.

“What are we up against?” Tony asked.

“She is a powerful adversary and not to be taken lightly.” Thor said. “She has control over fire, can create illusion, can manipulate the minds of others and can control the minds of men by means of seduction.”

“So she’s essentially the female version of Loki except she’s flirty.” Natasha said.

“And can shoot fireballs.” Bruce said.

“She doesn’t sound too bad.” Tony said.

“Unless there’s something else you’re not saying.” I said giving Thor a look.

“We may have been romantically entangled in the past… Centuries ago.” Thor said avoiding eye contact.

“So she’s your ex girlfriend?” I said.

“There were a few trysts, the last of which occurred over a century ago. I can assure you I felt nothing for her and I was a victim of her mind control until Lady Sif eliminated any hold she had one me.” Thor said.

“How’d she do that?” I asked.

“She hit me on the head after Amora forced me to compare her beauty to that of a bilgesnipe.” Thor said.

“Ouch.” Everyone winced imagining how much that may have hurt.

“Remind me to thank Sif when I meet her.” I said putting my hand on Thor’s cheek.

“You are not angry?” Thor said.

“Well I’m mad your ex girlfriend brainwashed you but not that you had previous relationships.” I said. “For now though I think it might be good if you found her before she causes trouble.”

“Aye.” Thor said.

“Any idea where’d she go?” Steve asked.

“Heimdall said that the passaged she took out of Asgard left her in the Central Park.” Thor said.

“She could be anywhere by now.” Natasha said.

“If she dresses anything like you and Loki, someone would have noticed.” Clint said.

“I’ll start checking security cameras.” Tony said.

“Social media too.” I said. “Tourists take pictures of everything.”

“Uh guys…” Bruce said as he looked at the news on the TV.

“Breaking News We’re here at the Bank of Central Manhattan where a group of armed gunmen have locked themselves in and taken hostages. Police are here setting up a perimeter around the premises.”

“Shouldn’t you guys go deal with that.” I said.

“Amora’s going to have to wait.” Steve said. “We need to move.”

“Go, I’ll clean up here.” I said. “Be safe.”

“Always.” They said as they ran to go get ready.

It wasn’t the first time they had to leave unexpectedly on a mission but for some reason I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was different, that something was going to happen and that it wasn’t going to be good.

I cleaned up the kitchen and then started reading a bit but I couldn’t take my mind off what was going on. I watched the news reports but so far there was no progress. They were still waiting for any demands but so far the gunmen were hadn’t said anything.

I turned off the TV and picked up a book. It turned out to be the copy of the hobbit Steve had left lying around. I got so lost in the story I didn’t notice the time until I heard the elevator doors open.

“Hey, finally got the hostages out?” I said not bothering to look up from the book.

“Not sure about that.” I heard a woman say with a similar accent to Thor’s. I looked up and saw a woman with blonde hair and a tiara wearing an emerald floor length gown walk in.

“Can I help you?” I said standing up from my seat. I really hope Jarvis was still monitoring my vitals so he could notice how much I was freaking out right now.

“You’re the girl Thor is fated to be with?” She said with disdain. “You’re little more than a child.”

“Fate works in mysterious ways.” I said. “I’m going out on a limb here and say you’re Amora?”  

“Yes, you’ve heard of me?” She said with a sinister smile.

“Briefly, you have a thing for brainwashing guys to be with you.” I said.

“No man is immune to my charms or my beauty, I wonder what would compel a man like Thor choose to be with a mere mortal like you. I don’t see anything particularly extraordinary about you.” She said eying me up and down.

“Looks can be deceiving.” I said.

“Quiet, your incessant yapping is giving me a headache.” She said. “Like an annoying fly that won’t go away until you swat it away.” With that she flicked her hand and I ended up being thrown against the wall.

“Umph.” I groaned.

“When I heard the crown prince of Asgard had finally found his soulmate I must admit I was curious to meet the woman Thor had chosen over me. I was expecting someone a bit more… worthy.” Amora said.

“Is that the excuse he gave you when he broke up with you, or was it the fact that you’re insane that did it for him?” I said.

“You insignificant insect have no idea what you are speaking of.” She said flicking me to the wall again except this time she pulled a Darth Vader and held me up by the neck. “I should end you.”

“Amora Step away from her!” Thor Yelled as he stormed in.

“Thor how good of you to join us.” Amora said.

“Amora your quarrel is with me, let Hayley go.” Thor said.

“How the mighty have fallen, and for a mere child no less. The all father must be over joyed.” She said sarcastically.

“That is of no concern to you. Release my soulmate or suffer the consequences.” Thor said as everyone else walked into the common room.

“Hayley!” They shouted.

“Ah ah ah!” Amora tutted as she put up a wall of green flames to keep them away. “You ended your affections toward me saying that I couldn’t give you what you so desired. If what you desire is to love a child then that is what you shall have.” She said before shooting me with some weird green energy blast and dropping me on the floor. It didn’t hurt, I just felt my body heat up before I felt myself go cold and everything went dark.

“Hayley, come on krasivaya open your eyes.” I heard Natasha say.

“Um, that felt weird.” I groaned.

“Are you okay?” Bruce asked.

“I feel fine.” I said.

“You sure, Jarvis said you took a few hits.” Tony said.

“Maybe we should go to the hospital.” Steve suggested.

“Guys I’m fine.” I said. “Where’s Amora?”

“Gone, Thor grabbed her in a choke hold and got her out of here. I’ve never seen him that angry.” Clint said.

“Good riddance.” I said standing up and feeling a bit dizzy.

“You sure you’re okay? You may have a concussion.” Bruce said.

“I feel fine, a bit sleepy though.” I said.

“You’re getting checked out.” Clint said.

“I don’t really think…” I started.

“Humor us.” Tony said.

“Fine but I promised Will a movie night at his place and I’m supposed to be there in an hour.” I said.

“Hayley.” Natasha said.

“Nat.” I said.

“If everything comes up clear and you keep your phone on at all times.” She said.

“I can live with that.” I said. I always thought Tony was a compulsive shopper and that it was a waste to buy most of the things he did. I’ve never been more thankful to be wrong, especially when instead of having to go to the closest hospital we just went downstairs to use the MRI Machine and just had the scans emailed to neurologist Tony had on his payroll. Everything came up clear and I was free to go.

“Are you sure you just don’t want to have Will come over?” Tony said.

“Guys I’m fine, the scans are all clear. Besides I have a feeling Will’s been feeling abandoned. Even if it has only been a week since I moved in.” I said.

“If anything…” Steve started.

“I have you all on speed dial.” I said grabbing my bag. “I’ll see you all tomorrow.” With that I was off.

I got to the apartment and Will was waiting with pizza and wings along with Game of Thrones all set up on the DVR. It was crazy how much Cersei reminded me of Amora.

“You okay?” Will asked.

“Yeah just been a weird day.” I said.

“What part of your life isn’t weird?” Will asked.

“True.” I said laughing a bit.

“You still haven’t told me how the dates went.” Will said.

“They went great actually. Thor took me to Asgard for a picnic and I sent yesterday with Tony. Went for a drive and ended up at the beach. Came back and had dinner on the roof. It was great.” I said not being able to keep the smile off my face.

“More than great if you can’t keep that smile off your face.” Will said.

“I can’t complain.” I said.

“You’re lucky.” Will said. “I’m never going to find my lobster.”

“I’m never going to get over the irony that your soulmark is actually a lobster.” I said.

“I did always love Friends.” Will said as I started yawning. “Ready to call it a night?”

“Yeah sorry, just been a long day.” I said. “I met Thor’s Ex.”

“What?!” Will screamed.

“Yeah, she’s insane and also an actual witch.” I said as I cuddled into my pillow.

“Yikes, are you okay?” Will asked.

“M’fine, no concussion just a bit sore and tired.” I said.

“Why would you be sore?” Will asked.

“She through me across the common room into a wall and choked me a bit.” I said.

“What?!” He screamed again,

“I’m fine, MRI was clear, she’s back in Asgard.” I said.

“Jesus, you’re accident prone, you’re a danger magnet.” Will said.

“I know, but now I just want to sleep.” I said grabbing the blanket and covering my face.

“We’re talking about this tomorrow.” He said.

“Sure.” I said dozing off.

Third Person’s POV- The Following Morning

Will woke up the next morning feeling as someone poked his cheek.

“Hayley cut it out.” Will said but the poking continued. “Hayley!” He groaned opening his eyes.

“AH!” Will heard a girly scream followed by a thud and crying.

‘It’s too early for this shit’ Will thought. ‘Why does that crying sound so close?’

“Hayley.” Will said reaching over to shake Hayley who was asleep next to him except she wasn’t in bed.

“What the hell?” He said sitting up.

“Ah!” The crying got louder. Will looked over to the side and saw something move. “This is like a scene out of a horror movie.” Will groaned. “Please don’t be a monster or serial killer, please don’t kill me.” Will peered over the edge of the bed.

“Oh fuck.” He said.
