☰22- PEACE IN OUR TIME

It was the end of the night so basically all of the guest had already left except for a few of their friends like Hill, Dr. Cho, and Rhodey. Eventually everyone else was gone so Tony let me stay, mainly because he didn't want me leaving again.
We all sat around and talked, playing cards and they were telling stories of their last raids for the scepter. I was winning most of the game and listening to these stories feeling that sense of comfort I usually felt when I was with all of them.

"But it's a trick." Clint states about the hammer.

"No, no, it's much more than that." Thor told him.

"Ah, whosoever be worthy shall haveth the power." Clint mocked. "Whatever man! It's a trick."

"Please be my guest." Everyone looked at each other and then at Clint.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, this is gonna be beautiful."

"Clint, you've had a tough week." Tony spoke. "We won't hold it against you if you can't get it up."

"You know I've seen this before, right?" Clint looks at Thor. He goes for it and grunts as nothing happens. He chuckles. "I still don't know how you do it!"

"Smell the silent judgement?" Tony asked.

"Please, Stark, by all means."

He gets up. "This is gonna be fun to watch." I say and people laugh. "Knock his ego down a smidge."

"Never one to shrink from an honest challenge." Tony puts his hand in the strap. "It's physics. Right, so if I lift it, I then rule Asgard?"

"Yes of course." Thor said.

"Watch, I'm gonna make you Princess of that.. place." He tried but it didn't budge. "Be right back."

"Come on, Iron Man, you can do it." I smile.

He comes back with his Iron man hand and tries, then Rhodey joins him with his own War Machine hand and they bicker a bit but they can't lift it.
Bruce tries and acts like he's Hulking out but can't do it. So then Steve goes up.

"Go ahead Steve. No pressure." Tony says, the girl's whistle.

I'm tired so I give him a thumbs up. "Ooo he rolled up his sleeves." I say. "I believe in you, old man."

"Come on , Cap." Tony says.

It slightly creaked and Thor's face fell but then Steve quit so Thor smiled and laughed. We all looked at Nat.

"And, Widow?" Steve asked.

"Oh, no, no. That's not a question I need answered." She sipped her beer.

"Kid." Tony nudged my shoulder.

"Are you serious?" Steve asked. "Mel, you don't have to do it."

But they were all looking at me which didn't leave me much of a choice.

I yawned and teleported to the hammer handle. "I guess I can try." I place my hands on the handle. "I'm tired by the way." I say sarcastically, they laugh.

I pull and it slightly moves towards me. The room gets quiet and I smile with a nervous chuckle. "Does that mean I rule like a tiny part of Asgard?" I asked jokingly. "I can finally go to this planet."

"No, because 'it's he who can pick it up.' You only slightly nudged it." Tony tells me.

   "As stated." Thor says and I rolled my eyes.
