"Good Evening, Ireland! How are we all tonight?"

Freya steps forwards, playfully holding her hand up to her ear- waiting for the crowd members to scream their enthusiastic replies.

Jen and Reggie smile from their respective sides of the stage.

Freya hasn't been this happy in years.

"So...I know this is a rather disappointing note to start off on, but one of our dearest friends, Doja Cat, has just announced her break from music."

As the audience awws, Freya smiles.

"In honor of our dear friend's success and hopefully future success too, we're kicking this evening off with...Woman, by Doja Cat!"

As Freya sings she passes Bill. Bill beams at her and she winks in return.

The fans can't help but catch one moment in particular- a lyric change, to be specific.

I touch your soul when you hear me say: Dude! I can be your Wonder woman!

Jennifer certainly understands what her bandmate is saying, as the stage cameras catch her giggling to herself on bass.

'Dork,' she can be seen mouthing to Freya.

"Thank you so much, everyone! To end off the last concert for the next three weeks: Reggie, my dear, why don't you get off of your drums and come and help me sing? Our Royal Family, this is the QUEEN friendship medley!"

Remember when you broke up with your crazy ex?

God, I'm glad you found someone more loveable than them

Only took about a hundred tries to get you off 

God, I swear that kid made you a love addict

Everybody knows I love you so

So, so, so much

'Cause every time they ask, I always tell

Tell, tell, tell them

Like wow, we have history

shared every misery

lived every victory

Yeah, we got synergy

If they hurt you, might as well be me

That's how it's always been

We'll always be together, don't you worry

I'll always be by your side, don't you worry

The circle will never end, just know that we'll meet again

And we'll always be together, forever, always

Who else is gonna grocery shop with me at 2 A.M.?

Who else will take that picture for you just to get revenge?

You're just as psycho as me, just as sick inside the head

So when they ask, I've always said

Like wow, we have history

Felt every misery

lived every victory

Yeah, we got synergy

If they hurt you, might as well be me

That's how it's always been

Even when life moves on

(If they hurt you, they hurting me) We will always be as one

So, here's my vow (my vow), starting from here and now (here and now)

Nothing comes between us, nothing comes between us

I swear that we won't lose this thing we found (love will never leave us)

Nothing comes between us, between us, us (us, us, us)

I swear that we won't lose this thing we found

Between us, us

Freya takes a deep breath as she gets to the last two lines. 

When the curtains close and all of the lights go down (down)

Safe to say I'll stay I will always stick around

Looking at her friends- more often referred to as her sister and brothers- the lead singer smiles from ear to ear.

Little would anyone on the stage or off have known that the QUEEN Friendship Medley would be the last song they all played together...ever.

From the Avenger's Tower, the Avengers themselves are just finished with their superhero-ing.

"Is it time to watch the band's Livestream?" Tony asks, smirking at the thought of his gorgeous first mate.

"Of course, it is," Peter smiles.

And so, the soulmates all watch the concert. As soon as Woman came on and Freya started swaying her hips, the Avengers were drooling.

"It's a sin that Freya isn't shaking her hips more often," Tony groans, rather turned on by his mate's Shakira hips.

Bucky grunts his approval. Steve whacks his mates on the shoulder and scolds them for 'objectification of beautiful women or women in general'.

I touch your soul when you hear me say: Dude! I can be your Wonder Woman!

At this, Bruce and Clint almost melt. They've both always been softies at heart, even when the Hulk or angry facade gets in the way.

It makes all of them happy to know that their number one mate is thinking about them all the way on another continent.

"Are my eyes deceiving me, or has our sneaky little mate just secretly given her fans a hint as to who her mates are?" Loki smiles, impressed by his mate's ability to deceive and tease.

"She did indeed, Loki," Natasha responds, eyebrows raised and a smirk sliding onto her lips.

The smirk is forgotten as soon as Loki's hungry lips attack hers.

"Two can play at the confidence game, Talia."

"Okay, Loki, I think that's enough," T'Challa chides. "I wanted to know what you thought of her so far. Or, more so what you thought of your introductions?"

"I think she's very-"

"-Didn't always know if it was-"

"-Frey did seem a bit-"

"ONE BY ONE!" T'Challa interrupts, bellowing over the frantic responses of his thirteen mates.

"Alphabetical order...So...Bucky- I guess that's you."

"Alright. She seemed...like she was tryin' to get along with me and make me happy. Whatever soulmate number fifteen did to her, he really messed up her idea of soulmates. I...I don't think she's ever really discussed her past with anyone. It's weighing her down. We all need to get her to the point where she thinks she deserves all of the love and trust we're gonna give her."

Everyone sits silently, nodding their heads at the information Bucky is relaying.

"Alright then...Clint."

"I think Bucky has pretty much summed up how everyone here feels. She was the same around everyone. Freya might not share things, but she certainly doesn't lie about stuff either."

Grunts and murmurs of agreement can be hard from all fourteen people present.

"Well then," Vision states, "we'll just have to be ready for when she gets back in a few hours."

"Yeah, how long do we have until then, Tony?" 

"Umm...about seven hours? Thereabouts, anyway."

"IF ONLY OUR LADY FREYA HAD QUICKER TRANSPORTATION METHODS. WE'D HAVE HER IN OUR ARMS ALL THAT MUCH SOONER."

Shuri smiles, rubbing Thor's shoulders.

"I know, sweetie. I know."

"BRUCE!" Freya yells as she spots him waiting at the Airport terminal.

The volume and enthusiasm in her voice catch both Bruce and herself by surprise.

Freya runs into her mate's waiting arms, breathing in his wood and lime smell.

"I missed you guys so much." 

Bruce beams at those words, scaring the woman staring at him substantially with the breadth of his smile.

"We missed you too, honeybun. How about we get you back?"

Freya smiles.

"Yeah...bring me home."

"Goodnight," Freya's mates whisper to their beloved, smiling as her sleepy eyes drift shut.

"I love you," she sleepily mutters.

A few of the Avengers seem to melt.

The last thing the singer hears before she falls comfortably asleep in Natasha's lap...

We love you too.
