(#22) Jelly sorcerer
I had to get a chapter out for you guys... I couldn't leave you without one. :) This was requested by Crystal433023 . As always, thanks for reading.
"ok. Ok. OK. OK! I am so ready to meet the Avengers!" You exclaimed, jumping up and down on your bed with enthusiasm, Stephen rolling his eyes as he watched you from his own bed. He pulled off the covers, yawning as he stretched his arms, smiling with satisfaction as his bones popped. After that, he soon relaxed, sitting on the edge of his bed as he ran a hand through his messy hair.
"(Y/N) please stop. They are the Avengers and that's all. Why are you getting this excited to meet a group of superheroes? They only battle mundane threats, they don't have any idea of the world WE live in." He stated with exasperation, narrowing his eyes as he received no response from you. He watched you for a minute or so, seeing you wouldn't stop jumping. I swear she is going to break that bed someday. He thought in his mind with amusement.
He stood up with a groan, heading over to your bed and pulling you down, him laying on top of you limply. You trashed around, or so your tried since Stephen was way heavier than you. He continued laying limply on you, his eyes fixed on you as he watched with a smile how you struggled to push him off. "Alright! Alright! I'll stop jumping geez!" You spoke breathlessly, sighing in relief as you sat up, fixing your messy hair.
Stephen ruffled your hair, smiling innocently at your glare as he headed out the room. You watched the doorframe for a moment, seeing him poke back in his head as he spoke. "I expect you to be ready in ten minutes, Director Fury wants us to meet them at one." He winked at you and moved back out, his footsteps fading away and leaving you in your room alone.
You sighed in relief, jumping out of your bed as you ran in your bathroom to get ready for the day. You took a quick and warm shower, got dressed in your best attire and grabbed your blue cloak, much similar to Stephen. You soon found yourself ready, and you could feel the familiar sensation of nervousness and excitement combined in your body.
You took a last glance at your reflection in the mirror and quickly rushed out, heading to the training grounds to meet Stephen who was wearing his usual outfit much to your dismay. This was an important meeting! He couldn't just go around wearing that always. It made you wonder if he even washed it ever since you always saw him wearing it. You approached him, throwing your bag at him to catch him off guard, which it did a remarkable effect as you saw him stumble back, letting out a quite not manly yelp as he fell on his butt.
Ouch.
"My bad, I didn't intend to hit you hard with it" You said sheepishly as you offered him a hand to help him up. He half glared at you as he took it willingly and helped himself up, dusting his clothes off as he handed you back your bag. "I have been hit with heavier things" He responded dismissively, turning around as he started to create a portal. You looked around, whistling a tune for a moment as you jumped up and down.
He seemed to get distracted by this as his portal faded away, letting out a sigh as he turned to look at you. "Could you please stop? I am trying to get us to the place where we will meet THEM." He stated, making a great emphasis in the last word. You immediately stayed still, watching as he turned back around and continued working on the portal. You crossed your arms, tapping your foot softly against the ground as you watched the portal's image flicker, changing from the training grounds to the area right outside Stark Towers. Or how people knew of it today, the Avenger towers. Stephen looked over at you, throwing your bag in and motioning you inside. "Go in, I'll be be-"
You ran inside without hesitation, picking up your bag as you walked in the tower. Stephen pouted as he stepped in, the portal closing up as he followed you behind. He soon caught up with you, interwining his hand with yours, something he had gotten accustomed to ever since you both got together. Stephen had lost everything he had after the accident, but he now could go through each day thanks to you. He wouldn't be there if it weren't for you.
But perhaps you didn't realize that since he always covered up his feelings with his huge ego. It distracted people from the true and broken Stephen. He hadn't completely gotten over the fact he couldn't do what he loved the most anymore. Being a surgeon was his passion, and he had gone a long way to get to that point. He missed those days... He missed when he saved people's lives by performing a perfect surgery. He had accepted he had become arrogant and selfish from becoming so rich and famous. And even though he still seemed like the Stephen with huge ego, in reality he hides his true feelings behind his arrogant mask now. He was a changed man. And it wasn't exactly for the better.
"Stephen? We are here. You seemed to have zoned out... Are you ok?" You asked with him slight worry, seeing his blank expression and distant gaze. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he snapped back to reality. "Yeah, I was just thinking about how... colorful this lobby is" He said, mentally facepalming at such stupid statement.
You narrowed your eyes at him, tapping your chin in thought before shaking your head slightly, a smile spreading across your face. "Well... I guess it does. Imagine how this would look in Christmas!" You exclaimed, walking in the elevator. While you entered, Stephen sighed in relief as he stepped in and stood besides you. As the doors of the elevator closed, Highway to Hell from AC/DC started playing. The both of you didn't say anything, staring at the door of the elevator as the music played in the background.
The elevator stopped moving, the doors opening to reveal what could only be described like a hurricane went through the room. Chairs were on the floor here and here, several lamps broken and screams of protest were heard around the room. The one and only Tony Stark was engaged into a discussion with Steve, the both of them being held back by Clint and Natasha. Tony threatened Steve with a broken lamp, Steve threatening back with his shield. Loki was seated on a couch separated from the fight, his eyes going over the text in his book as he seemed as though the catastrophe that was happening was a normal thing to happen. Thor was merely standing in the middle of the fight, watching with confusion as Tony called Steve a 'son of an arsehole.' Steve obviously retorting with 'Language!'
Bruce Banner was situated at the corner of the room, seeming uncomfortable as to what was happening. His face was slightly green, his hands fiddling in a desperate attempt to block the noises out. You decided to approach him first, leaving a dumbfounded Stephen on the doorway as he watched the fight with amusement. You made your way through the mess, letting out a yelp as you dodged a lamp, watching as it crashed on the wall next to you. Bruce flinched, his face getting more green before returning back to a less tone of green, his glasses almost falling off the bridge of his nose.
As you got closer, you could clearly hear what he was saying to himself. "And now come the thirteen gas elements of the periodic table..." He started with a shaky voice. "There comes Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and-"
As he recited the elements, he lifted up his gaze, locking eyes with you as he opened his mouth. "Radon..." He finished off, smiling in embarrassment at such disaster. No guest should arrive and see this. He looked around, seeing the discussion wasn't going to end soon. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he inhaled deeply before shouting loudly. "GUYS, THIS URANIUM SAMPLE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE." He spoke up, cupping his mouth so everyone could hear him. They kept on with the discussion, ignoring Bruce completely. He rubbed his temples as he added. "GUYS, DON'T PANIC, WHATEVER YOU DO. DON'T"
That seemed to trigger something in them as they froze on spot, Tony dropping the lamp as he started running in circles, flailing his arms around as he obviously panicked. Steve hid behind his shield together with Natasha and Clint. Thor was more confused and believe it or not, Loki was up too, protecting his book with dear life. "Not again..." He muttered below his breath.
"Alright guys guys calm down. As you may notice now, we have guests here" Bruce said, followed by the sighs of relief coming from everyone. They all turned to look at both Stephen in you, watching you both with curiousness. Steve was the first one to walk to you, shaking Stephen's hand and yours too, leaning down as he kissed your knuckles. "Steve Rogers or Captain America. Pleased to met you both." He spoke genuinely. his eyes fixed on you for a longer moment as he moved away. Stephen held his breath for a moment, trying to evade the feeling of jealousness creeping up his mind.
Next came up Tony, who merely patted Stephen's back and took both of your hands in his as he shook the,pm with enthusiasm, his eyes fixed on you also. You blinked in surprise as he kissed your cheek. "Tony Stark or better known as Iron Man. Pleased to meet you beautiful lady." He said, winking at you and wiggling his eyebrows as he moved away. Stephen's eye twitched slightly as he clenched his hands into fists.
That is how it basically went with every Avenger. Yes. Every Avenger. Including Loki, Natasha and surprisingly Bruce. Everyone seemed to be attracted towards you. You were quite flattered from all the compliments you received, and you were quite surprised to have in your hands the phone numbers of the majority of them. Stephen was fuming with jealousy, his face completely red as he tried to control his anger.
Steve took your hand and guided you to the couch, letting you sit down as everyone gathered around you. You started chatting about random things, seeming to have a lot of fun in comparison to Stephen. He inhaled deeply as he stomped towards you, standing right in front of you as he glared at Tony. "Oh my, (Y/N). Aren't you the prettiest girl alive? You should date me to be honest. I am awesome."
Steve pushed Tony out of the way as he looked at you. "Perhaps you would like to go out with me? I could take you to your favorite places and we can do anything as you wish." And so, yet another discussion started in between the Avengers, each one of them trying to get closer to you. Stephen tried to reach you, but he was immediately pushed out of the group, falling hard on his butt.
He groaned in exasperation, rubbing his aching head as he looked towards a corner to see Deadpool microwaving chimichangas, laughing at the scene as he bit into his food hungrily. Stephen scratched his head in confusion as he stood up, turning around and bumping into a tall man, who was not there when they arrived. The man narrowed his eyes, silver like claws coming out from his hands as he ran pushed Stephen to the wall and stomped towards the group. "You'll never get my (Y/N)!" He exclaimed, pushing Tony away.
Stephen was utterly confused as Kaecilius popped out of nowhere and reached towards you, saying that he would be dating you.
Stephen...
He took a step back as he shook his head.
STEPHEN!
He woke up with a start, sitting up with panic going through his body as he looked around, spotting you sitting at the edge of his bed. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, blinking away the blurriness as your face came up clear. You smiled, pulling him out of the bed and towards the door. "Come on Stephen! We are late to meet the Avengers!" You exclaimed with happiness. "We are finally meeting them! Can you believe it?"
Stephen froze in spott, his eyes full of fear as he gripped his hair.
Oh no.
Oh hell to the no.
