You exhaled shakily as you stayed sitting against the wall as your headache increased. You rubbed your temples, trying to comprehend the fact that you were now dying. What's there to comprehend? You're dying!

What you didn't understand is why would Guillotine lie to you? She was consuming you, and it really got you thinking if Eddie was dead now. It made sense why he didn't answer his calls or texts, unless it could've been broken.

You tried calling Annie, too but she also didn't respond. You really hoped they were okay.

As you were lost in thought, you heard a bunch of running steps coming your way, causing your head to snap in the direction of the sound, seeing the Avengers coming your way.

You sighed. "Hey, I, uh... listen, what happened back there, that's wasn't... that wasn't me, I didn't mean for any of that to happen, let alone cross paths with you guys, but if you wanna kill me now or lock me up till I'm dead, that's fine, I get it."

"What? No, kid we wanna help you", Tony said as he walked side by side with Steve and Nat, the others following behind.

"I nearly choked you to death, how are you not mad?" you asked incredulously.

"My brother seems to know quite a bit about the... what was it?" Thor said.

"Klyntarian", Loki piped up from the back.

"Yes, the Klyntarian. He knows about it."

"We decided that you can stay here and that Natasha and Loki will train you in hand-to-hand combat", Steve said smiling softly at you.

"Yeah, even though Rock of Ages threw me out a window", Tony muttered. It seemed he didn't like the idea of Loki training you.

"Two things: one, I'm dying now, so I doubt I'd live long enough to train with you guys and second, Loki threw you out a window?" you asked as you pointed towards Loki in disbelief. "He doesn't seem mean or anything."

"Wait, Reindeer Games is nice to you?" Tony said in shock.

"I'm right here, Stark", Loki growled.

"No need to get your panties in a bunch, Loki", Deadpool snickered as he nudged him, earning a stab to his shoulder by the trickster god. "Well shit", was all he said.

"Well, what do you say?" Cap said.

"I mean, I'm gonna die but... okay."

"We'll make sure you don't die", Tony assured you as he patted your shoulder.

After you came back from the hotel you were staying in where you retrieved your luggage and such, you were showed your room where you were now lying in bed... feeling hungry.
I wonder if they have Tater-Tots... you thought to yourself.

"Hey, FRIDAY?" you called out.

"Yes Miss Brock, how can I help you?" the A.I. responded.

"Do the Avengers have Tater-Tots in the kitchen by any chance?"

~~~

You carefully and quietly crept into the kitchen (given that it was midnight and you were really hungry) not wanting to wake any of the Avengers.

When you made it to the kitchen, you carefully opened the freezer and took out the box of frozen Tater-Tots and when to take the stuff out of the oven, quietly and stealthy as you did so.
