14. 》Count Us In《

"Attention, attention, please.", Tony's voice echoed along the halls as he knocked on each of his teammates quarters.

Wanda opened her door and rubbed her eyes, obviously irritated by being awoken.

"What is it, Stark?", she asked, glaring at him.

Next, Clint got out of his room, looking hyper than usual. He had a big grin plastered on his face as he greeted Wanda 'good morning'.

"What happened to you?", Wanda asked, cocking an eyebrow at Clint, who just shrugged and smiled.

The others started to leave their own rooms as well, and made their way to the common room were they saw Tony taking a sip of his whiskey.

Steve raised an eyebrow at this.

"Isn't it a little early for that?", he asked, pointing at Tony's glass. Tony simply shrugged and set the glass down.

"Whatever, gramps."

Loki and Kara were the last to arrive. Steve, Natasha, Clint, Vision and Sam all gave each other meaningful looks.

"Tony, why did you wake us up this early in the morning?", Natasha piped up, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, c'mon man. Not cool.", Sam added, stretching his arms.

"Okay, okay. I called you all up here to ask you if you all wanted to go on a trip together.", Tony replied, putting his arsm behind his head and leaning back on the couch.

"A trip? What, a mission or something?", Rhodey inquired. Tony rolled his eyes.

"No, not a mission. A trip. Y'know, as friends, if that's what you call us.", Tony responded, taking another sip from his glass.

"There's no time for a trip, Stark. We may be needed anytime so we must always be pre-"

"Why do you have to be such a killjoy, Rogers?", Tony cut Steve off. Steve gave him a look.

"Why do you always have to be such an idiot, Stark?", he retorted.

"The captain is right. If ever things suddenly go wrong, we need to respond immediately. We cannot do that if we're miles away.", Vision said, earning a nod from Natasha.

"Then we'll just call you.", Fury butted in, walking towards them with his hands behind his back.

"How does he always do that? Y'know,  pop out of nowhere and butt in on our conversations?", Sam whispered to Thor.

"I have no idea."

"As much as I hate to admit it, Stark's right. You do need to spend more time together.", Fury added, earning a mock-shocked expression from Tony.

"Wow, he actually just agreed with me. I'll put this on my calendar so I can remember this oh-so-special day.", Tony replied, putting a hand on his heart. Kara rolled her eyes.

"Drama queen.", she muttered, earning an eyebrow raise from Tony.

"I think I'm gonna pass on the trip, guys. I'm not into travelling.", Wanda spoke up.

"Well, bummer. I've already made reservations for all of us. Yes, even you, Hollow Girl.", he said, pointing at Kara.

"Then, why did you ask us if we wanted to go on a trip?", Natasha asked.

"I assumed all of you will be like 'oh, count us in!' then we'll all start packing together like one big happy family.", he said in response.

Everyone groaned, all except for Clint.

"Yeah, count me in!", Clint uttered, standing up from his seat. Tony smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"You're fun. Now, chop chop, people! Pack what you need."

Loki followed Kara as they made their way to their room. Kara plopped herself on the bed and hugged the covers.

"What are you doing? You should be fixing your things.", he said, conjuring up a duffel bag and filling it with his clothes and other stuff.

"I don't want to go. I hate you all.", she answered, turning her back on him.

"We had this conversation before. I think you're forgetting our agreement, Kara.", Loki added, shifting in his place to look at her.

Kara sighed heavily and pulled slightly at her hair. She sat up abruptly and threw the covers on the floor. She continued whining as she started packing her items.

At the time, Loki was already finished and simply watched her pack. Kara muttering profanities under her breath was immensely amusing to the God of Mischief, and a little bit arousing as well.

"You're always aroused with whatever she does.", his inner voice told him.

Loki rolled his eyes at his own subconscious.

It took about 10 minutes for Kara to pack all the stuff she needed. She stood in front of him and dropped her duffel bag on his feet. Loki was unfazed and looked at her confused.

"It's too heavy. You carry it.", she ordered, placing her hands on her hips. The raven-haired god chuckled loudly.

"You don't give the orders around here.", he replied.

Kara shrugged and carried it out of their room on her own, struggling to do so. Loki trailed behind her holding his own bag. He and the other team members saw her drop the bag several times, but she refused to take any help from them.

"I'm fine.", she snapped at Vision and Clint. The two men looked at each other, then to Loki, to Kara again.

"If you say so.", they both said. Kara groaned at the weight of her bag. Loki snickered from behind.

Steve caught up to them and also noticed Kara struggle with her bag.
Without any words, he took the bag from her and slung it over his shoulder.

"Hey!", Kara yelled, surprised at his actions. She tried to reach for her bag, but Steve lifted it high up in the air.

"A thank you would be nice.", Steve replied, his eyes directly ahead. The young lady grumbled.

"I can do it myself.", she said stubbornly. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't get her bag back from the super soldier.

"And I can do this all day.", he replied. By this time, Loki stopped walking and eyed both of them.

Kara huffed in defeat and rolled her eyes.

"Thank you.", she said through gritted teeth, earning a slight smile from Steve. He gave her a wink, as well.

"Okay, what?", Kara mentally said.

Loki saw all of this unfold causing him to scoff and walk ahead of both of them, bumping Steve in the process.

"Oh! Pardon me, Captain.", Loki said, sarcasm dripping from his tongue. Kara furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head. Steve just chuckled at this.
