The main level of the Avenger Tower was chaotic, filled with many people, fast at work now that The Avengers were back. It was perfect for Emma, because she could just blend in, even though most people knew she lived there with Pepper. Because most of the people there were under the impression she was Pepper's orphaned niece.

Emma swore the level was as loud as a mall on the weekend. She didn't want Nala to get lost so she picked the puppy up, and continued to walk throughout the level, trying to spot anyone she knew who had just arrived.

And it was like the Greek Goddess, Tyche had blessed her, a Goddess that Triston had told her about, Emma spotted people she knew. She saw Thor walk out from the hallway where the jet was, holding Loki's scepter in his hand. The almost fourteen year old felt slight discomfort upon seeing the golden blue weapon, still very clearly remember her kidnapping. But she shoved it off when she saw Triston and Lidianna walk out of the hallway very shortly after Thor, hand in hand.

Emma smiled before calling out for them, "Triston! Lidi!"

The couple stopped in their place as they watched Emma run up to them through the crowds, clutching onto her three-month-puppy. Lidianna smiled as well as Triston before they both hugged the young Stark, "I know I've just seen you before we went to bed but..."

"But so much has happened since then," Lidianna said before they broke their hug with Emma, "And I definitely needed that."

"I'm gonna assume you didn't find anyone to go on that walk with you, damsel Princess..." Emma looked back to find Allie walking up to them from the hallway, still in her suit, which she was so desperate to get out of.

The Stark hugged the Rodgers girl, before she asked, "Did the mission go well? Is HYDRA gone?" She asked, "I saw you got the scepter..."

"I still think there's more bases, but that's not up for me to decide," Allie said, almost grumbling in annoyance.

Emma gave her a small frown before placing a hand on her shoulder, "You'll get them," she said and Allie stared at her intently, "I believe you can — So!" The girl turned away from her, addressing them all now as Allie watched her, "My mom is gone, and we all know my dad is going straight to his lab. So our level is completely empty if we all want to watch a movie? I promise I won't play Tangled again."

"Of course, we can—" Lidianna began, but was cut off when someone not very subtly cleared his throat from behind her.

Emma and Allie together eyed Triston oddly as Lidianna looked back at him as well, confused. That is until she noticed the look in his eyes, a look she had grown to recognize since they'd become a couple.

"Oh..." she then awkwardly turned back to Emma and Allie, who tried to both keep a straight face, and continue to pretend to be confused, "Perhaps we could later tonight. We can have a...oh, what is it that you call it...a movie, uh..."

"Marathon?" Emma asked and Lidianna's face glowed in joy.

"Yes, that's it!" She smiled.

"Sure," Emma smiled, trying to prevent herself from smirking before Lidianna turned away, taking Triston's hand again.

"You are so sneaky, Thorson!" Lidianna whispered, wanting to make sure the girls did not hear anything.

"You like it when I'm sneaky," he whispered back and she almost playfully shoved him.

Once the two were away, loud snickers came from Emma and Allie, the two very much aware of what Triston dragged Lidianna away for. But they laughed at how unsubtle he was about it and just made it more obvious for them to figure out.
