It's been over a week since Loki took you to Asgard. You've already started to reverse engineer the Asgardian medicine they showed you. It will take several years to develop the science to complete it but it's a major start to a whole new look at modern medicine.

Everything is good between you and Steve since your "little argument" after coming back from Asgard. Things have been actually really good, Hyde has definitely helped you and Steve to be more comfortable with this unexpected side to your relationship.

You have let yourself relax for the last week, not really thinking abut Thanos or the Stones. You have felt more like your old self for the first time in awhile. You have even taken a small step toward the future. Steve has moved most of his things from his room to yours. It's been interesting to say the least, but you wouldn't trade those extra moments with Steve for anything.

Nat and Clint have even arranged and convinced everyone in to a game night with drinks. Everyone has gathered in the lounge area on the bar level.

"Thank you very much gentlemen for contributing to my new pair of Louboutin boots." You say as you use your arms to scoop the pile of money from the center of the table.

"Ok, you have to be counting cards. That's your fourth hand in a row you've won." Rhodey complains.

"I assure you, I would never count cards, Rhodes. That's just unladylike." You say as you stack your money next to your glass.

"Why do you think I chose not to play with her, I've seen her play before. The woman has a better poker face than I do." Nat says laying with her legs stretched out over Thor's legs.

"Well on that note, I'm broke and have an early morning meeting tomorrow. Good night to all of you. By the way Tony, thanks for letting my snag a spare bedroom. Lark, next week, you give me a chance to win my money back." Rhodey says as he gets up and starts to head for the elevator.

"I look forward to it, Rhodes. I have my eye on a pair of stilettos too." You laugh as he gives you a sarcastic grin before the elevator doors close.

Nat sits up and grabs a bottle off the table and pours herself another glass. "I am way to sober for a Friday night game night. Who's up for Two Truths, One Lie?"

"Really Romanoff? Are we in high school again?" Tony says sarcastically.

"Just think of it as a test of our skills. Most of us are trained assassins or work for the government. We should be able to lie to anyone convincingly even our friends and it will also tell us who needs to work on their ability to sniff out a lie. It's an exercise that we can get drunk doing." She smiles and raises her glass before she takes a swig.

"Sounds intriguing. How does one play this Two Truths One Lie?" Thor inquires.

"Exactly that, when it's your turn you must tell two truths about yourself and one lie. Someone guesses which one is the lie. If they're right you drink, if they are wrong they drink. But you have t be honest with the truths." You explain to Thor.

"Well that sounds easy enough. I'm an excellent judge of character. I can easily tell when someone is lying..." Thor proclaims in his usual fashion.

"Because you're a god!" All of you say simultaneously then laugh.

Nat comes back from the bar with shot glasses for everyone and a bottle of whiskey. She pours a shot and passes them out around the table.
"Ok. Clint you go first." Nat says as she plops back down next to Thor.

"Ok. Uuhh....I played basketball in high school, I can play the flute and I lost at my first archery tournament."

"The lie is, you can play the flute." Steve guesses.

"Drink my friend, you are wrong." Clint says as he laughs. "I never played basketball.I wasn't much of a team player as a kid."

"Wait! So you're saying you lost at archery? I thought you never missed?" Bruce questions.

"I don't. There was a cute girl I was competing against.I wanted to get lucky so I let her win." Clint says with a glint in his eye.

"So did you get lucky?" You ask.

"Damn straight. I always hit my target remember." Everyone laughs at Clint. "Thor, you're next."

"Hmm let me think." He says as he rubs his beard. Loki has been quietly sitting in the chair all night.  He leans over and whispers in Thor's ear. Thor shakes his head no but Loki nods his head yes. "Alright. I have a distaste for cats, I slept with the woman that used to be my nanny and I sleep with a teddy."

Bruce jumps in right away. "That's an easy one. You sleep with a teddy. Maybe your hammer but not a teddy."

HA! Drink up Banner. There's not enough Asgardian ale to make that old hag remotely desirable." Loki says through laughs.

"So the big teddy sleeps with a teddy." Nat says as she leans forward and pinches Thor's cheek.

Thor gives a sarcastic half smile. " It was my brother's idea to say it."

"That's ok Thor. I think it's endearing." You say before you turn to Bruce. "Take your shot."

Thor looks at Tony. "Your turn Stark."
Tony looks around at everyone. "I hate clowns, I have an alpaca named Gerald and I'm allergic to peanuts."

"Peanuts! You're lying about peanuts." Nat blurts out.

"What makes you so sure about that Romanoff?" Tony chides.

"Because, Lark told me about Gerald, you cringe when someone mentions the circus and I've seen you inhale a Snickers bar in two seconds flat." She says matter of factly.

"Well it seems like you're the only one so far that doesn't need an extra course in observation." He grabs his glass and drinks his shot.

"Alright Bruce. What have you got for us?" Tony says patting him on the shoulder "It can't be better than Point Break's teddy comment."

Bruce pushes his glasses up on his nose a bit. " Um..well..ok. Uh, I had a cat named Einstein , I love flying, and I went as Frank-n-Furter for Halloween one year."

"You hate flying because of the Big Guy! That was an easy one." You shout out as you push his shot glass closer to him.

Bruce grabs the glass and reluctantly takes the shot. Everyone stares at him with slack jaws.

"How do you know about this Halloween costume, Lark?" Clint says leaning forward.

"I was there to witness it in person." You say laughing remembering that Halloween a few years back.

Bruce interjects. " I swear it was on a dare" He says.

"Sure..." Nat said with a grin. "Whatever you wanna tell yourself."

"Lark? You wanna save me here?" Bruce says looking at you flushing.

"No, it's true. I'm the one that dared him." You say giving your good friend some relief.

"Wait, you don't happen to have pictures of this dare in question, do you?" Nat asks sitting up straighter.

"Honestly, what kind of person do you think I am?" You say feigning disbelief. "Of course I do!" You start laughing.

"Ok I bestie, you are going to have to share those with me later." Nat says as she gives Bruce a wink causing him to blush even more.

Bruce clears his throat as he changes the subject. "Lark, what about you. You haven't embarrassed yourself yet."

"Ok sure I'll go." You take a quick sip of your drink. " I hate snakes, I lost my virginity to a cabin leader at science camp and I want 3 kids in a house with a picket fence." You say very nonchalantly.

"Oh that's easy!" Nat yells out. "The kids. We had that discussion right after you moved in, it's all about your career." She says so positive.

You grab your shot glass and bring it to your lips. You pause and look at Steve. "Sorry Nat. You need to drink. I love snakes, I had one growing up." Your eyes never leaving Steve's as you take the shot for courage.

Nat gives you a huge smile. "You're lucky I love you, Lark." She take her shot and continues to smile at you and Steve.

A huge smile spreads across Steve's face as he leans in for a quick kiss.

"Alright Nat it's your turn. Show us how it's done." You say as Steve puts his arm around you.

Without a beat Nat says. " I wear a pink bunny onesie when I'm sick, I've never been to an amusement park and my favorite movie franchise is Bill and Ted." You've never heard anything so monotone and matter of fact before.

"Again, all of you need to take lessons from this one." Tony says as he sits back and contemplates the lie.

Thor finally speaks up. "I'm going to say the bunny onesie, I can't see you wearing anything pink."

"Ok you got me big guy." She grabs her shot glass and downs it. "It's actually a unicorn onesie when I'm sick."

"Ok now that is something I need to see." Says Bruce jokingly.

Nat looks up at him and smiles. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Bruce is speechless and can only blush as he shyly returns Nat's  smile.

Clint opens another beer. "Alright Cap it's your turn."

"Wow, a unicorn onesie is hard to follow. Ok. Um..I never really wanted to join the Army, I've never been to Disneyland and I would love to have a big family.

Suddenly an alarm goes off and  there is an an announcement from JARVIS. "Sir, the outer atmosphere has been breeched."
