Double Life

Call It What You Want

"all my flowers grew back as thorns
windows boarded up after the storm
he built a fire just to keep me warm...
all the drama queens takin' swings
all the jokers dressin' up as kings
they fade to nothin' when I look at him..."

Iris got out of the shower and began to dry her hair. Today was the day. The plan was made, everyone knew what to do, they just had to do it. Iris looked at herself in the mirror and slowly exhaled, trying to calm her nerves about this... mission. It's more of a cover-up, but whatever would get her mind in the right place. Iris walked out of the bathroom to get her clothes and just as she did, Sam and Pietro waltzed into the room.

Iris yelled and quickly hid behind the sliver of wall by the bathroom door, "WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Oh, God!" Sam yelled putting his hand over his face quickly.

Pietro covered his eyes as well, "Why don't you have clothes on?!"

"I just got out of the shower! I might be weird but I don't wear clothes in the shower! Why are you guys in here?!" Iris yelled back.

"We're leaving in like 10 minutes. We were coming to get you." Sam told her.

"What? I thought we were leaving in an hour." Iris said, picking up her towel off the floor and walking back out.

"Well, you're fifty minutes off," Pietro said.

"Yeah, okay. I'm hurrying. Just- get out." As they left, Iris was looking through the clothes she set out and couldn't find her bra, in turn yelling, "Where the fuck is my bra?!" Out of frustration.

Pietro turned around and threw it at her, laughing, before shutting the door and leaving. Iris scoffed but there was still a slight smile on her face.

Exactly ten minutes later, Iris came out of her room and met the guys in front of the castle, "Okay, I'm ready."

"Took you long enough," Loki complained.

"Listen, I thought we were leaving a lot later than this. Not my fault you guys don't know how to communicate." Iris shot back.

"And you don't know how to lock a door, apparently," Thor said with a snicker.

Iris hit him on the back of the head and started walking ahead of the rest, not really knowing where she was going, though. Pietro called up to her, "You go left, not right!"

Iris huffed, not saying anything back to him but following his directions while they laughed in the background.

"My name is Loki," Loki said to the group.

"What?" Sam asked, very obviously confused.

"Speedy called me Lucky. It's Loki." Loki said in regards to Pietro.

Pietro laughed, "And you called me Speedy, I call it even. Besides, I have an accent. You could have misheard."

"Okay...?"

"Some words sound similar and they're hard to pronounce."

Loki glared at him then proceeded to ignore him and stay distant from the conversations until they got to the Bifrost. Iris turned around and looked at the guys, "Does everyone know what they're doing?" Everyone nodded and Iris nodded a little too, "Okay, good. Now let's get this show on the road."

She turned around and looked at the Bifrost and then Heimdall, not knowing how to work any of it, "Thor, help me get this show on the road." He nodded and before any of them knew it they were on their way back to Earth.
