Collide

Twenty-Eight

Her family had arrived first, within twenty minutes of them having breakfast. She made them all wait down in the bar for her, and she was nervous. Bruce had felt it, and took her hand, pulling her out of the apartment, and down the stairs to the bar. He hadn't given her time to thinking over as he pushed open the back door, and smiled at the group of people that were sat around the plan.

He saw a man behind the bar, pouring drinks, and from what he could see, that was definitely Wade, he fitted Astrids description... 'Morning. Any chance you could grab a beer while you're there Wade..'

Everyone of them looked over in shock, and seeing Wade stumped silent, made Astrid laugh. She couldn't help it, and Bruce put his arm around her kissed the side of her head, before moving over to Storm, holding his hand out... 'Nice to finally meet you Storm, Asti has told me all about you, all of you..'.. He smiled at her as she took his hand.

'You're the boyfriend?..'.. Storm shook his hand, her eyes flicking to Astrid.

'Husband..'.. Bruce held his hand out to Logan, shaking everyone's hands before moving to the bar, seeing Wadw still silent.

'You're married? And you didn't tell me?..'.. Storm looked across at Astrid, as she walked over.

'Yes to married and we didn't tell anyone. The Avengers didn't even know until last night..'.  Astrid hugged her sister and the others.

'What did you do?..'.. Logan asked, as he joined the other two at the bar.

'I got my revenge, but don't worry, no one was physically hurt..'.. She flopped down on a chair at one of the tables... 'They'll be here shortly..'.. She filled them all in on what happened, seeing the disappointment in her sister, Jean, Scott and Logan.

Asti..'.. Jean shook her head... 'I can see it from your side and theirs, but that was a little too far..'

'I didn't kill him like I wanted to, alright..'.. She stood up fast, knocking her chair back. Bruce walked over, wrapping his arms around her from behind. She could hear him soothe her in her mind, and she relaxed into him.

'I get that it's a lot for you to understand, but Asti wouldn't hurt anyone. Yes, I get that it was dark, but now that it's over, she won't do something like that again. She's even told them to bring Thors hammer so she can fix it..'.. Bruce tells them all.

'I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're her husband. Honestly, relieved it isn't Wade..'... Logan refilled his glass at the bar.

'I'm a catch. Its her that's the psycho bitch. Doesn't surprise she she's fucking jolly green..'.. Wade gestured to Bruce and then got knocked back, to the floor.

'Mind how you speak of my husband Wade. And while we're at it..'... She walked over, putting a boot to his chest... 'You will behave when the others are here, or I'll make what I did to Vech look like child's play, am I clear?..'

'Sure, wht mommy wants, mommy gets..'.. He coughed out, and then rolled his head to look at Bruce... 'Does that mean you're my new daddy?..'.. Astrid rolled her eyes as Wade wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at Bruce.
