The Rules of Living with the Avengers

39. There is no wifi in Asgard. Bring other entertainment.

Odin greets us by glaring at Loki then Thor appears, looking delighted that we're here. "I hope this isn't taking you all from your normal lives," he says with a somber smile.

"Normal?" Tony laughs. "We don't have normal lives."

"Anyway, this-" I look at the towering golden palace and the people hurrying around and everything that's so wonderful and different to Earth. "This is awesome. It's more than awesome...I love it here."

"Maybe you could spend some more time here," Sif says and I catch her giving Loki a look as if to say look at this young lady you could marry. At least that's what I hope she's saying. That look could also mean get that crazy bitch out of here before she moves in. As long as it involves Loki, I'm alright.

Loki blushes. "Odin, when can I see Mother?"

"Go to her chambers now, if you must. I will need to talk to you later, however." Odin frowns. Then he looks at us all with another glare and I start to understand why Loki hates him. He's so serious. At least Fury cracks a smile once in a while.

Loki hurries off and Odin gestures to Sif and they both walk in the opposite direction. Thor waits until everyone is gone before beaming at us. "Friends! Anthony, have you grown? Doctor, have you had an incident? Steven, your hair looks more luxurious than mine! Lady Natasha, how is the offspring? Clinton-" I laugh as Clint looks embarrassed. "-have you missed a shot? James, how is your relationship with Steven? Lady Ellie," Thor turns to me. "How is my brother?"

"Ah. Loki's just uh...he's okay." I stammer. "His eyes are more gorgeous if that's possible...I mean, oops. He's cool."

"I shall show you to your chambers," Thor says.

"Wait, before I forget!" I get out my phone and take a photo. "I promised Pepper. Now, what's your wifi password?"

...
"I can't believe there's no wifi up here," I complain. Tony rolls his eyes.

"It's another planet, Potts. They don't have technology."

"They surely have some science, right?" Bruce looks up, pouting. Aw. I can't resist his puppy eyes.

"We have magic," Loki sits down next to me, looking tired. It had been two hours since he left us and I guess that his mom hasn't woken up yet.

"Magical wifi?" I ask.

"No."

"Not even really slow magical wifi?"

"No."

"Aw." I put my phone away and look round the banquet hall. "What do you guys do for fun?"

"Thor and his friends drank a lot and went hunting. Picking fights," Loki says with a scowl.

"That sounds fun!" I exclaim. I look at Tony but he shakes his head. The others look like they're about to burst out laughing. Humph. I'll make Thor take me hunting and drinking one day.
