Let me touch you

4 A Dressing Down

The party had cleared pretty quickly after the fight, the girls had taken Charlie to her room to clean up. While the men stood at the bar discussing it.

"I didn't think Sharon would be so..so volatile" says Steve, he felt terrible that Angel had gotten hurt over this.

"Woman scorned and all that" mutters Tony still sipping a scotch.

"Yea but to attack an Avenger, really? Was she drunk or just crazy?" asks Sam.

"Its my fault, I told her we won't be together as well as that I'm having Fury remove her as the liaison" mutters Steve.

"Why?" asks Sam.

"She had lied to people about her and Steve already being together and then insulted Charlie, saying she wasn't good enough for him" Thor explains.

"She was jealous of Charlie?" asks Tony.

"She misinterpreted our friendship and said she wasn't lady like enough for me" Steve's head was pounding off the Asgardian ale now.

"I was impressed by Angel's fighting, did you see how she did it defensively so she wouldn't hurt Sharon?" asks Sam.

"Compassionate to a fault" Steve smiles, he knew choosing her was a good idea.

"Not that it mattered anyways, our boy Thor here was all up in Charlie's space" Sam sniggers, he had seen the balcony dance from another window.

"The God and the Angel having sinful fun?" laughs Tony.

Thor scowls at Tony while Steve pats his shoulder.

"She looked very happy with you Thor" he smiles at him.

Bruce wandered over to the bar, swiping a beer on his way past, taking a gulp he joins his friends.

"How is she Bruce?" asks Steve, concern written all over his face.

"She'll have one hell of a bruise and her leg and hip will ache while she walks but other than that she will be fine" he pats Thor's shoulder, he had been present while Nat and Wanda grilled Charlie about the dance.

"Well here's to Angel cake getting the God" Tony raises his glass in a salute.

Upstairs Nat was helping Charlie out of the beautiful dress, carefully unzipping it while Wanda held a bathrobe open for Charlie seen as she only had a thong on.

"Its a good job I have experience stripping infront of people or this would be really weird right now" Charlie points between the three of them.

"Why's it weird, we're all women" Nat raises a brow at her, her upbringing ment that shyness wasn't a thing when it came to being naked infront of other women.

"Nat not everybody is as open minded about this stuff as us" mutters Wanda, she still got extremely uncomfortable changing infront of the other girls.

"Did you see Bruce's face when I lifted my dress" Charlie, Nat and Wanda all laugh.

"You would think he would be used to seeing us all half naked by now" says Nat.

The amount of times Bruce has had to patch up his team mates is ridiculous but he still turns beat red when one of the girls has to show a bit skin for him to do it.

Wanda hands Charlie some muscle relaxers and pain killers, Bruce said her leg would get stiff if she didn't move around on it but the pain of it ment she didn't want to move.

"You know I've been shot before but nothing hurts quite like bone bruising" you muttered.

Nat helps situate her on the bed, stuffing extra pillows behind her back and one under her knee for the pressure.

"Want anymore pillows?" she asks.

Looking at a small version of a pillow fort you smirk at her shaking your head no.

Wanda floats your phone and TV remote over to you while Nat hung your dress up, patting your leg they headed for the door.

"Need anything else before we go? Magazines, chocolate, God of Thunder?" Nat and Wanda laugh at you.

Smiling you shake your head.

"Get out of here you pair of red headed demons" smiling you snuggle down carefully minding your hip.

Letting out a sigh you think of the fight as such as it had been, you hadn't wanted to hurt Sharon. She was obviously upset at what had happened and you didn't know what had set her off to come at you like that. How was it going to be when you seen her around the tower doing her job. Sighing again you flick on your TV picking a movie to watch until the pain killers kicked in so you could sleep.

Thor was walking backwards and forwards past his friends, Steve was watching him curiously eyebrows raised. Sam nudged him with a questioning look and they shrugged at each other.

"What's point break doing" Tony whispers.

"stomping" says Sam.

"calisthenics" says Steve.

"Possibly Ruminating" adds Bruce.

Tony rolls his eye's, he had missed most of the fight only getting there when Charlie had kicked Sharon's legs out from under her. He knew she was a spectacular fighter watching her spar with Nat and on more than one occasion winning against Nat. He liked Charlie a lot, she was kind, tough and a good friend. She never put up with Tony's bullshit either, calling him on it when he got to much for others which ended up being a lot of the time. He was happy she was okay but knowing her and Thor may end up being a thing was making him nervous. He didn't want to loose a good friend, what if she went to Asgard to live? what if she never came back? He would be lost without her. She was the calm after the storm to him.

"Do you think I should check on Lady Charlie?" asks Thor, he's pensive and worried about her.

"Tomorrow pal, the medication I gave her should be knocking her out soon" Bruce tells him, he still has a flush on his cheeks from Charlie lifting her dress for him to check her hip.

"How about we all head to bed now, its late and the cleaning crew will be here early" Steve says.

Sam picks up a few empty bottles and places them on the bar, with a nod to his friends he heads to the lift with Bruce following him. Steve mops up some spills and puts bottles back on the shelves while Tony pulls out a lost and found box and puts it on the bar, smirking about what would end up in the box in the morning. His last party there were false teeth, a watch and very large box of condoms, he would make a game of guess who's tomorrow with the things that turn up.

Steve pats Tony on the back as he rounds the bar, leading the slightly drunk man to the lift.

"You coming Thor?" he questions.

"Not yet, but I will see you in the morning" he smiles at his friend, Steve smiles and pulls Tony along.

Thor still paces the room, he hoped Charlie was alright. She seemed strong and fully capable but he knew how breakable humans are, Loki had shown him that. Maybe he should go back to Asgard and get a healing potion to help her, he would have to be quick and quiet otherwise his father would pull him into something. His loyalty to Asgard would always be there but the woman he was falling for was hurt and he wanted, no needed to help her. It was strange, he had known Charlie for a few hours only but the thought of her hurt was hurting him. To Asgard then, he took the lift to the roof and called on his friend Heimdall to bring him home.
