ALTHEA✓AVENGERS

Chapter 33

Althea was seated on her usual seat beside Tony staring at her tablet. She could see all around her teammates were distressed. None of them spoke a word which worried her alot. She was most worried about Bruce who sat on the floor of the Quinjet.

She couldn't even begin to understand the thoughts that must be running through his mind after what had happened. "The news is loving you guys. Nobody else is." She heard Hill saying which made her let out a sigh.

"There's been no official call for banner's arrest but it's in the air." Hill added. "The Stark Relief Foundation?" Tony asked. "Already on the scene. How's the team?" Maria asked which made the goddess look around to see what they were doing. Thor was pacing while Natasha and Steve were sitting looking petrified.

She didn't know what they saw but she knew one thing it must've been scary if it could shook the strongest people she has ever known. "Everyone's... We took a hit. We'll shake it off." Tony replied.

"Well for now, I'd stay in stealth mode and stay away from here." Hill stated which made her roll her eyes. "So basically you want us to run and hide?" She asked her. "Until we can find Ultron, I don't have a lot else to offer." Hill replied.

"Neither do we." She sighed and said as she looked around at her teammates. Tony got up from his seat and walked towards Clint who was piloting. "Hey you wanna switch out?" Tony asked him.

"No I m good. If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time. Because we're still a few hours out." Clint replied which confused her. "Few hours from where exactly?" She asked him as she got up from her seat and walked towards his.

"A safe house." Clint replied which made her realize where he's bringing them. "Oh." She replied and walked back to her seat. "Do you know where he's bringing us?" Tony asked as he sat beside her.

"You'll see." She replied and continued playing subway surf in her tablet which made Tony roll his eyes and snatch it away from her. Althea glared at him and try to take it back but he kept it out of her reach which made her scowl and sat back down on her seat.

"Do you think they'll be better?" Tony asked her in a hushed tone not wanting the other's to hear. "They will. They always do." She replied and looked around. "Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, it did." She added and sighed.

"Hey Thea we're here." Someone shook her awake. The goddess opened her eyes in confusion to realize she had fallen asleep on Tony's shoulder which made her to immediately move away. "You better did not drool." Tony said as he checked for his shirt which made her roll her eyes at him.

"What do you this I am? 12?" She asked him sarcastically and got up from her seat. Tony and Althea walked together as they walked up to Clint's house. The goddess could see the other's looking around in confusion which made her smile.

"What is this place?" She heard her brother asking. "Safe house." Tony replied. She looked around for Lila and Cooper once she walked in the house. "What are you searching for?" Tony asked her while giving her an odd look which made her roll her eyes. "You'll see." She replied.

"When did you become so cryptic?" Tony grumbled which made her smile. "Honey, I m home." She heard Clint saying. She smiled as she saw a pregnant Laura came in to her view. "Company. Sorry didn't call ahead." Clint said as he hugged his wife.

"This is an agent of some kind." She heard Tony saying which made her stifle a laugh. "Gentleman, this is Laura." Clint introduced her. The goddess smiled as she walked towards Laura and hugged her. "Hey." She greeted her and pulled away.

"You look good." She complimented Laura who smiled at her. "Hi. I know all of your names." Laura greeted them awkwardly which made her hold in her laughter knowing now's not a good time to laugh.
