Kennedy's POV

When I come back with my computer I look around to see where Bruce is, and find him sitting on the couch, I sit down next to him and hand him my laptop, eager for his opinion. It is old and tarnished, there are cracks in the casing, and it has a wrong size battery velcro to the top and connected with wires.

"This is impressive, it really works, what's the speed like?" Bruce doesn't get the chance to say more because Tony plucks it away from him and sits down on the other side of me.

"This would normally have a lithium ion battery right? How did you convert this battery to the right voltage." Then Peter snatches it and sits down.

"DO you have your own WiFi hotspot on this thing or do you have to use free WiFi zones?" I reach over and take the laptop back.

"Um, Bruce, it's pretty fast. Tony, yes and I think the voltage was already compatible. And Peter, I have to use free WiFi. Any other questions?" The three of them continue with their curious ramblings, picking my brain about where I got the parts, how I upgraded the display quality, what operating system I have, and endless other questions. Pepper walks up behinds the couch, putting her hands on Tony's shoulders to get his attention, he pauses mid ramble and looks up at her.

"I'm going down to work now, have fun with your nerd club." She teases, leaning down to kiss his cheek.

"Okay Pep, I'll see you later." He responds and watched her disappear into the elevator, then continues with his explanation of how I could get rid of the big battery and still increase the battery life. The room has grown quiet aside from the constant stream of scientific babble coming from my three companions, everyone has left the room to go about their daily tasks. I listen closely to Tony and Bruce explaining all the improvements that could be made to my hunk of junk. Thena feeling suddenly sinks in and I let out an amazed,

"Wow!" The three others stop talking and look at me.

"Wow what?" Tony questions.

"I just realized that I'm sitting next to two of the smartest men in the world, and they are giving me advice about my computer." I clarify while practically shaking with excitement. Tony grins at being referred to as one of the smartest me in the world.

"Hey, what about me?" Peter whines "Where do I rank?"

"I don't know yet, I haven't known you long enough."

"You have known me just as long as you've known them." He insists

"In person yeah, but I've known them from the news for a long time." I defend, Peter gives up and crosses his arms, slouching into the couch.

"Hey Firecracker, you mind if I take this and see if I can make some improvements?" Tony asks eagerly. My face lights up, Tony Stark wants to upgrade my laptop! Talk about life goals, but then I look down at the tarnished metal box sitting on my lap.

"Actually, I do mind, I'd rather you not." Tony looks confused, as if the thought of someone refusing his technical expertise never crossed his mind.

"Why not? By the time I'm done with it, it could be capable of holographic projections, or maybe a smell feature for watching cooking shows."

"As tempting as that offer is, I built this thing, I made it work, and I carried it with me. it might sound silly, but if you take it away and change it, then it won't really be my laptop anymore. Now, if you were to invite me into your lab to work on it with you. . ." I finish, and wait for him to respond to my implied request.

"Nice try Firecracker, but the lab is off limits." I open my mouth to object but my words are drowned out by a deafening clap of thunder. All four of us nearly jump out of our skin, the lights start flickering as the noise continues and we see an enormous lightning bolt come down right in the middle of the balcony. Then the noise is gone, the lightning is gone, and in it's place is a man with long blond hair, and a red cape flowing behind him. I don't believe what I'm seeing, I nearly faint from excitement but manage to whisper,

"Is that Thor?"

"Yeah, the guy sure knows how to make an entrance." Tony huffs, getting up to let Thor inside.

"You okay Bruce?" Peter asks from behind me, I follow his gaze over to Bruce who has his eyes closed and is taking deep breaths, his face has a very evident green tinge. Without opening his eyes he quickly gives us a thumbs up to let us know he's okay. I follow Tony over to the large sliding glass doors that lead out to the landing pad. As Tony opens the door Thor steps in and loudly proclaims,

"Hello man of iron, I have come to see how things fare here on Midgard, I hope all has been well."

"Everything's been fine, things have been pretty quiet here, how are thing on Asgard." Tony answers, leading the way back to the couch.

"Asgard is well, my warriors and I have been working hard to establish a peace between the nine realms,"

"Thor, good to see you." Bruce says, standing and looking significantly less green than he was a moment ago, Thor quickly engulfs him in a huge bear hug.

"It is good to see you as well Doctor Banner." He releases Bruce and turns his gaze toward Peter. "Hello to you as well younge Parker."

"Hey, Thor." Peter responds, raising a hand. Finally Thor seems to notice me standing there and gaping at him.

And who is this newcomer to our team?"

"She's not part of the team, Fury just sent her here for me to keep an eye on." Tony explains.

"I see, nonetheless I am pleased to meet you lady. . ."

"Uh, umm, Kennedy." I nervously answer his implied question.

"Lady Kennedy." He repeats, taking my hand and placing a kiss on it.

"Thor! I knew it was you who caused the power outage, what are you doing here?" We all simultaneously turn to see Wanda excitedly running toward us, with Vision in tow. Thor hugs her then heartily shakes Vision's hand.

"Lady Wanda and The Vision, it has been far too long." Thor boms with a laugh. As the five adults talk and catch up I sit down next to Peter on the couch and zone out into my own thoughts. Should I go back to my room and leave them to talk? If I just sit here maybe they'll start talking to me. I wonder if Peter wants to finish our foosball game? While these thoughts are going through my head, my ear catches the word Steve and I turn my attention back to the adults.

"They should be back from mission any day now, how long will you be here?" I hear Wanda ask, I assume she;s talking about Captain America's mission.

"I will be here as long as I'm welcome by you my friends, I have left the kingdom in the capable hands of my friend and advisor Fandral." Thor declares, Wanda's face lights up even more at the news.

"We should have a party when they get back! Then it'll be all the Avengers together again!" she excitedly reveals her plan. Tony holds up his hands to stop her from saying more.

"Hold on a second, I'm all in favor of a party, but what about Clint and T'Challa, it won't be all the avengers without them."

"Oh that's right, well we could call them and see if they can make it." Wanda offers in a disappointed tone.

"I'll ask, but don't count on it, Clint's spending time with his family, and I doubt T'Challa will come all the way from Wakanda just for a party," Everyone visibly deflates for a moment, I guess the idea of having the whole team together again excited everyone, "But either way, a party there will be, I'm convinced." With that Tony puts his phone to his ear and walks away. Thor says he's going up to his floor for some rest, and everyone else soon follows his lead, dispersing to our separate places and tasks. I take my laptop back up to my room and put it away. flipping through channels on the TV proves that there is nothing good on, so I walk across the hall to where I know Peter will be, his door is wide open so I step inside. As expected, he is lying stretched out on his couch with his phone held in front of his face. He hasn't noticed me come in, so I quietly walk up beside him and yank on his leg, he is so startled that he drops his phone on his face and falls off the couch, I laugh hysterically while he lays on the floor trying to catch his breath from the shock.

' "What was that for?" He asks between breaths, grippin the couch and pulling himself of the floor

"I couldn't help myself, it was the perfect opportunity, and it was worth it." I laugh, wiping my watering eyes.

"Remind me to close my door next time," He grumbles half to himself, "What do you want?"

"Well I was wondering if you could answer a question for me?"

"Depends on the question." He huffs and sets himself back down on the couch, I sid down

"Everyone keeps saying that Steve, Bucky and Natasha are coming back. I know who Steve and Natasha are, but who the heck is Bucky?"

"You don't know who Bucky is?" He asks in mild surprise, "I would have expected someone who's such a big fan of Captain America to know who Bucky is."

"How do you know I'm a fan of Captain America?"

"First of all, you're a fan of all the Avengers, second of all your desktop background on your laptop is a big picture of him." I feel my cheeks heat up slightly with embarrassment, I forgot that was my background when I showed all of them.

"Whatever, just tell me who he is." I attempt to brush off my embarrassment.

"Bucky is Steve's best friend since he was a kid, Steve thought Bucky died but really he was captured by Hydra and brainwashed into being an assassin, but when Steve found out about it he helped Bucky get his memory back and escape from Hydra, and now he's cool." Peter quickly explains.

"That's crazy! How did I not know about this?"

"That's my question! I mean, the guy has been on the news more times then I can remember." I nod and we both silently think about the fact, until we realize of us are talking and Peter breaks the silence by saying,

"Aaanyway, is that all you came in here for?"

"Oh, no, I was wondering if you wanted to finish that foosball game from last week?" I get my answer when a sly smile creeps onto Peter's face.

"Oh you are going down girl." He threatens before pushing himself off the couch and bolting out of the room, I run after him and barely squeeze into the elevator as he attempts to close it without me. When I reach the table and the ball rolls onto the field the game begins, with Peter and I vigorously spinning our respective handles. The game is pretty quick and I win, Peter claims this it was a warm up round so we play again, resulting in another win for me, He demands a rematch and I am more then happy to oblige, I win again but only because I accidentally jabbed Peter in the stomach with my handle, so we play one more game. At some point during this game Wanda and Vision show up, it's kinda cute how he seems to follow her around like a puppy, Wanda says she'll play winner, I beat Peter quickly while he's distracted by the newcomers. Wanda and I play and she clobbers me, I think she might have been cheating with her mind powers. She convinces Vision to play and more people start showing up so that soon we have a full blown foosball tournament lasting the rest of the day, which is ultimately won by Thor, who comes in at the end of the tournament and defeats everyone in a matter of minutes.
