Serena sauntered into the kitchen, her morning robe tightly wound around her. The others already sat around the table, eating and talking amongst themselves. "Morning," she mumbled, rubbing sleep from her eyes as she looked on at them.
Natasha sent her a smile and for a moment Serena believed they knew.
"What is everyone doing today?" She asked, taking a few slices of bacon from a pan set on the stove. They were almost completely burnt meaning obviously someone had believed it was a good idea to let Tony cook. Again.
"Everyone's a bit busy today. Most of us are going to the lab, Tony thinks there's something we need to see. Then there's just a bit of paperwork and filing to do later. You joining?" Steve asked from across the room. He stood by the window, a newspaper in his hands and a glass of coffee sitting beside him on the windowsill. Old habits die hard, he'd told her once when she quizzed him on acting so old.

Serena wasn't sure whether she should be relieved or annoyed. It was just another day—whether it was her birthday or not—but a part of her had wanted them to remember it seemed. She shrugged, looking over at Steve.
"I think I'm just going to stay in my room for the day. Binge watch Friends, that sorta thing. You don't mind, do you Cap? I'd enjoy a day off." She smiled, batting her lashes at the Brooklyn born.
He laughed and shook his head as he looked back down at the paper. "Enjoy yourself. But back to work tomorrow."
"'Course."
"Why'd you ask?" Clint spoke up, a mixture of eggs and bacon almost falling from his lips. Serena made a gagging noise before shrugging again.
"No reason. Just wanted to see if anyone had time to hang out. But prior plans have to be upheld, right Cap?" She quizzed, chuckling quietly.

He mumbled, almost to himself, "Old habits die hard." Serena smiled.
"I'm off. You guys have fun up in Tony's playhouse. Tony," she spoke from the doorway, "don't kill anyone." He only winked at her in response before she was off.
It would be nice to relax, she concluded, without anyone else around. It was her birthday, and she did deserve the day off—whether the team realized that or not.

Loki dashed down the steps, holding a small box in his hands. He made his way past multiple Asgard guardsmen, smiling at each. They only glared back in return. Some even muttered their distaste with him being freely allowed to move about in the castle.
He stood ahead of Thor's chambers, shoving open the doors ahead of him without a second thought. Loki walked in to see Jane sleeping soundly in Thor's bed. Thor, on the other hand, was overlooking the sky on his balcony.

"Oh, brother," Loki cooed, stepping to the entrance of the balcony. "Shouldn't you be on Midgard?" In truth, Loki had originally been serious with his errand. He planned to give the box to Jane to give to Thor. But if Thor was here, even better.
Thor looked at Loki, his eyes stopping at the box for a few moments. "I have no reason to be, brother."

"But you do." Loki took a step forward. "It's Serena's birthday, if I do recall correctly." He pondered for a moment before nodding, assuring himself as much as he was Thor. "Yes, today is the day."
Thor looked over Loki again, checking his brother for potential injuries. "Perhaps it may be." He turned completely, placing his back to the world beyond. "Have you hit your head, Loki? I believed you held hatred for all Midgardians."
