9: Blast From the Past

I moved through the busy streets of New York, weaving between people, trying to find the number.

177A Bleaker Street.

The address written on the card that mysteriously appeared beside my phone this morning.

My phone pinged in my pocket and the glasses on my face showed me several messages from Liv and Peter, a couple from Ned too, making me roll my eyes with a smile on my face.

Livie.

Would you stop working in my textbooks?

It's quite annoying.

Then I go to collect Peter's own to find the same thing too.

Stop it.

Baby bro.

Liv is mad at you.

Apparently, you wouldn't let her do her work herself.

It is annoying to open your textbooks ready to solve some questions only to find everything solved.

Your Number One Fan.

Peter and Liv are mad that you work in their textbooks.

I'm not sure why, I mean I would kill to have you do my homework. Not literally though, like that would make me a bad guy.

Also, I still can't believe she's the winter soldier's daughter. Like wtf.

I'm surrounded by super heroes, who knows maybe one day I'll have powers too. My nana always said we have magic in our family.

Maybe I have too.

Do you think the radiation from you and Peter could rewrite my genes and I have superpowers too?

Oh, and if Liv's mum and dad are super soldiers, shouldn't she have super genes?

My smile grew as I read his text, replying that I don't think that's how any of that works.

As I replied to Liv and Peter, two squealing girls bumped into me, knocking one of them to the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." The one with the curly hair apologised as she helped her friend up.

"Oh, it's my fault I wasn't looking—"

"No, it's ours, we were just so excited to see Thor. I can't believe he let us take a picture with him." The friend gushed.

"Wait, Thor?" I asked and the friend squealed again.

"Yeah. He's over there with some guy." Her friend replied.

"Who's equally as hot." The other one added with a smile.

They pointed me in the direction they were coming from as they both giggled and walked off.

Thor? What is Thor doing here? I thought he was on a quest to find the infinity stones. Did he find them all already?

I thought as I walked in the direction they pointed me to. My thoughts are cut short though when Thor's familiar frame catches my eyes.

"Thor!" I greeted, waving and putting on a bright smile. He looked confused for a few seconds before he smiled back.

"Ha. Lady Stark. It's good to see you again after such a long time." He responded, pulling me into a hug.

"I'm not even gonna ask how you know it's me but—" I stopped talking when I recognized who was beside him.

Then, like when a murder mystery got solved in a movie, or when I found out who'd been stealing from my stash of chocolate— it was Clint, not Pietro like we'd all thought— everything started to click.
