The Infinity Stone

A small figure was hurled backwards into the now closed portal, Aria knew that he was not moving freely. She used the rest of her energy to launch herself in his direction. The other below where just about to get worried, but saw a beam of blue following the woman racing to her father. She caught him halfway, and let them fall most of the way down.

When she could make out the face below, she softened her father blow to the ground, but not her own. Her landing was made with a loud thump, and all the air leaving her body making her groan. The Avengers all rushed to her first her being closest and checked to see is she was okay.

" Don't worry about me I genetically impossible, my dad!" Not needing to be told twice the rushed to Tony. Nat however stayed and helped her walk to her father. Thor ripped off his helmet, showing his beat up unconscious dad, hurting her even more.

Steve placed his ear against his chest. " How are you gonna hear his hear heart through metal?" She snapped, pushing past everyone sitting next to Tony. Come on, please don't do this.

Everyone looked at the two in diffet. They stood around not knowing what to do, and where forced alerted when Hulk let out a loud shriek. The noise startled Tony awake, making Aria break out in a large smile.

" What the hell? What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me?" Tony said rambling out, looking at Aria who had now laid beside him. She was overwhelmed and her body finally gave out, but was still giggling out in shock.

" We won."

" Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." Aria, with the help of Nat, sat up and patted his plated armor.

" We're not finished yet." Aria said looking up at Stark Tower. " And then shawarma after?" Aria smiled at her dad. " Then shawarma." She clarified.

Loki crawls onto the stairs, looking like a rag doll. He takes a few deep breaths and senses someone is behind him. He turns to find all the Avengers glaring down at him, though Aria held a small smirk while she help his scepter.

" If it's all the same to you. I'll have that drink."

" Sorry buddy, looks like someone smashed all the booze," Aria said kneeling down in front of him pulling him harshly up from the ground. " Try anything and this scepter goes through your chest." She whispered in his ear, her smirk growing into a smile.

True to their word, they stopped to get shawarma, Everyone but Steve and Aria had some. Aria felt as if she would vomit if she had any, and was stuck with babysitting Loki. The influence of Thanos was gone now, making it a little easier. And the fact he was muzzled, made by herself, after he would not shut up.

Aria stood by her father's side, waiting for the Asgardians to return to their planet.

A week had passed, and it was time. The Avengers took Thor, Aria and Loki who had been handcuffed and muzzled, to a blocked area. Thor shakes hands with his team and gives Selvig a hug. Aria goes to say goodbye to her dad once more.

" I still don't understand why you have to leave." He said, crushed that she was leaving again. " I broke a few golden rules, and well..." She trailed off, Loki raised his eyebrow, almost begging her to continue. Tony gave her a long lasting hug, Aria closed her eyes taking in the moment, wishing it wouldn't end. 

Tony reluctantly let go and opened the Tesseract's case. Bruce takes it out and places it inside a glass tube held by Thor. Thor gave the other end to Aria, and Loki hesitantly grabs a hold of her. They decided that they shouldn't trust him with the privilege, allowing Aria to not have to be the third wheel out. 

Aria gives her dad one last look, and smiled. Tony watch sadly as they activated the Tesseract, that leaped them into an energy beam. Gone.
