Steve ran through the halls, trying to not be late. Loki and Thor's classes were closer than his. He turned the corner and stopped when he hit someone. "Sorry!" "Watch were you're going shrimp!" The taller boy said before storming off. Steve growled and ignored his comment. He couldn't stand up for himself quite yet. He didn't want to get his butt kicked, but he'd get that guy back. He ran into the class and saw a mixed class. 'Great... Freshmen and Sophomores... Could this day get any worst?' Steve thought as he walked inside. "Thank you for joining us Mr. Rogers. Please, take a seat next to Mr. Stark." The teacher said coldly. Steve looked over to see the boy he had ran into the day before, the one who picked on Loki. Steve walked over to the seat and sat down, talking out his notebook and grabbing a pencil. "We got off to a really bad start yesterday. I'm Anthony, Anthony Stark. But please, call me Tony." Tony said and held out his hand.
     Steve was always taught to shake people's hands, even if you hate them. Steve took Tony's hand and shook it. "Steven, Steven Rogers. But call me Steve." Steve said, and took his hand back. "It's nice to met ya Steve." "You too Tony." Tony smiled at him, and Steve couldn't help but smile back. Steve did notice that Tony was very attractive. The way his hair flowed, his big brown eyes. Steve caught himself staring, and turned his head away, looking at his notebook.
      After class, Steve rushed out of the classroom, not wanting to be late again. "Hey! Steve!" A voice called. Tony soon ran up to his side, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Look... I really am sorry. My brother and I can be assholes, but that's just us." Steve turned and looked Tony in the eyes, his face had a serious expression. "Alright. But if I find out you hurt my brother, my oldest brother will kill you." Steve said before turning on his heel and walked off.

     "Hello Bruce." Bruce looked up and saw Loki, leaning over his shoulder to see what Bruce was reading. Bruce jumped a little and closed his book. "Oh.. Hey Loki.." "What are you reading?" "It's just a book about different things.. It's nothing really. Did my brothers talk to you?" "Yes, they did. They said they were sorry, though I did not mind." Bruce rubbed the back of his neck as Loki sat next to him, and pulled out his own book. "What's that?" Loki looked at Bruce, and then smiled. "This is a book my mother would read to my brothers and I. It is still my favorite." "Harry Potter?" Loki smiled and nodded. Bruce smiled back and put his book away. "I read the entire series too. Tony use to call me a bookworm, but Nat kicked him for it." Bruce said with a small smile. "Your family seems close. It has only been my brothers, mother, and I for some time." Loki said and leaned back in his chair. "I have a step dad, but I've known him since I was really little."
      They were so lost in conversation, they didn't notice Tony, Clint, Steve, and Natasha standing there. "Loki!" "Oh, hello Steven. Are you ready to go?" "I've been ready. But you seemed to be enjoying some company." "I was. I will see you another time Bruce Banner." Loki said and followed Steve. "So... Who's your boyfriend?" Clint said with a smirk. Bruce's cheeks flushed and he glared at him. "S- Shut up. He's just a friend." "Your face says otherwise. You like Reindeer games." "What kind of nick-name is that?" Bruce asked and glared at Tony. "I am the master of nick-names science bro." Bruce smirked and shook his head, but his mind soon went back onto Loki. Loki was smart and attractive, but he'd never like someone Bruce. Bruce was awkward and a nerd. "So Tony, who's that blonde kid you were talking to?" "Steve Rogers." "Yeah, he's my friend." Natasha said with a smile. "He's gorgeous..." Tony said out loud. "What....?" "Nothing!" Tony said and turned away.
       Bruce smirked and walked away with Tony, who was blushing and had his hands shoved into his pockets.

     Clint ran into the gym, and burst into the locker room. He slammed the door and leaned on it, looking for something, anything. Anything that could block this door and keep it from opening. "LET US IN BARTON!" "Fuck!" Clint said and pushed back on the door, and locked it. It wouldn't hold. Damn school and their weak ass doors. Clint looked around, and then saw a jump rope. He leaped from the door, and grabbed it. He hurried over to the door and tied it to the hook on the wall. 'That should hold.' Clint thought and picked his book bag up. He climbed on the bench and pushed the roof tile in, then climbed inside. He put the tile back and then pulled his phone out, turned on the flashlight, the started to crawl through.
    He should have been far from the locker room, but he soon fell through the roof, into the shower room. "AHH!!!" He felt himself land on something soft, and he opened his eyes and saw two blue ones looking back at him. Clint jumped off the person, who was only in pants and without a shirt at the moment. "Shit! I'm so sorry. I was-" "Crawling through the roof?" A gruff voice came out. His blonde hair sweaty and pulled back into a messy bun. But the person only smiled at Clint. "I was... Getting out of dangers way." "Dangers way?" "I kinda pulled a prank on these jocks and now they're chasing me." "Do not worry. I will escort you out of here." The person said and pulled a shirt on over their head. "Thanks I guess.. I'm Clint, Clint Barton." "Thor Odinson." Thor said and lead the way.
      They walked through the halls, Clint jumpy and on edge of people that knocked into his shoulder. Thor kept his promise, and lead him through the halls until Clint was at his next class. "Yeah.. Uh, thanks again Thor." "It was not a problem. I must hurry now, I have gym! Good bye!" Thor said and took off into a jog. Clint walked into the classroom, and saw that it had already started. He apologized to the teacher and took a seat next to Tony. "Bruce ditched me to sit with Reindeer games..." "Get over it Tony. I spent lunch getting hunted down by jocks." "What the hell did you do this time?" "I put this pink towel in with their uniforms. The looks on their faces were hilarious. And I got it on video." Clint snickered. "Damn it, I wish I could have been their..." Tony said. "Mr. Stark, Mr. Barton, pay attention!" "Yes ma'am..." They both said with a roll of their eyes.

     Natasha and Steve walked with each other after class, pushing past the crowd and headed for their lockers. "Thor sounds like a dork." Steve laughed and opened his locker, putting some of his textbooks and notebooks inside. "You don't know the half of it. He's super protective of his poptarts, but Loki uses his- uh.. Sneaking skills and steals a few for him and I." Steve said and pulled his book bag onto his shoulders. "So it was you whom stole the strawberry poptarts!" Steve jumped at Thor's voice, but smiled and laughed. Loki, who was standing behind them, couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry brother, but Steven and I do enjoy poptarts." "But-" "Remember what mother would say, sharing is caring." Loki said with a smirk, and walked off. Natasha rolled her eyes, and waved to Steve before going to find her brothers.
      She turned the corner to see Tony and Clint fighting. "Clint! Tony!" Natasha yelled as the jocks punched them. She rushed forward, only for someone to grab her and hold her back. "Nat!" Bruce's voice called and tried to pry the stronger person off of her. He was only pushed back and hit a wall. Natasha, Tony, and Clint looked at Bruce. They knew his deep, dark, green secret. "Stay calm Bruce!" Tony yelled and go acted his fist into the jock's side. Bruce took in a shaky breath, and kept his vision clear.
     "UNHAND THEM!" Thor's voice boomed over the crowd. Thor marched forward, towering over everyone. The jocks let Clint, Natasha, and Tony go, and took a few steps back. Loki walked to Bruce's side, and helped him stand, while Steve shooed the crowd away. "Thanks Thor.." Clint said and punched his shoulder. Thor smiled, and punched Clint's shoulder back. "Honestly! What the hell were you two thinking?!" Steve said, glaring at Tony the most. "Oh no! It wasn't me! It was Clint!" "Tony!" "You better be glad my brother and I were here... Or you've gotten you butts handed to you." Steve said and crossed his arms. "Butts? It's asses." "Unlike you Stark, I don't have a potty mouth." Steve and Tony both glared at each other (more Steve, Tony was just enjoying the blondes attention), Thor looked confused. "Potty mouth? I think you are mistaken Steven." "It's a figure of speech Thor... Ugh! Let's just go." Steve said and walked off. Loki and Thor looked at the others and frowned. "Sorry about Steven. He just needs to clear his mind. He does not like seeing people be bullied.." "I can tell." Tony said. "We will see you another time!" Thor boomed with a smile, then ran off with Loki.
     "This'll be a fun story to tell mom..." Natasha finally said, breaking the silence.
