Should Have Paid Attention in Mythology

HELLOOO I AM BACK! FINALLY ON SUMMER BREAK SO I WILL UPDATE WEEKLY

" Just let me through, Joe." I grumbled at the bouncer.

"I can't! You're twelve!" Said Joe, standing in front of Perk Entertainment and Pub.

"I'm sixteen Joe. You know this is the only place the gang hangs out. I promise the bartender won't serve me anything! I need to connect with these people!"

Joe sighed and gestures towards the entrance.

"If I see you so much as TALK to that bartender you're out of here."

I smiled at Joe with relief and walked into the pub.

"Well lookie here! Ellie finally got a fake ID!" Yelled Tony as he sat in a row with Nat, Clint, and Steve.

"I didn't get a fake ID assholes, Joe just let me in." I scanned the room. "Where's Bruce?"

"He had an...episode again." Said Clint. "Nothing serious, Natasha calmed him down."

I gave an inquisitive look at Natasha. She glared at me with eyes that dared me to say what I was thinking. I wasn't an idiot, no point making her angry.

"We're doing shots over here but as the only responsible adult here, I'm making that off limits to you. You can sit with Steve, he never drinks anyway." Said Natasha.

I made my way over to the stool next to Steve. Natasha was right, he just had a glass of water next to him.

"Not a drinker?" I asked cautiously.

"No point. Can't get drunk."

"You got a crazy tolerance?"

He chuckled, "Something like that."

No point in pursuing that more. The night went on and I sipped my club soda while Steve and I watched the others get progressively more drunk throughout the night. Who knew Tony was a lightweight?

By midnight the only people left in the bar on the Tuesday night was us and the other Stark employees. I was close to dosing off when in the corner of my eye I noticed my empty glass drink was slightly shaking, so were the others. I sat up straight and suddenly the whole bar violently began shaking. I held on to the counter, trying to calm my anxiety.

"Earthquake?!?" I yelled at Steve.

"No." Yelled Natasha over us. "Something much better."

There was a large boom and I fell off my stool unto the floor. I could see Joe running into the bar to see if we were okay.

"SON OF A-DAMMIT NOT AGAIN"

I spun around to see what Joe was yelling at when I saw a circle of hieroglyphics (or something like that) on the floor and a man in battle amour and cape kneeling superman style in the middle.

I was too panicked to notice that no one else in the bar was freaking out other than a few laughs and jeers. I felt myself tense up and I involuntarily sent a force field flying at the man.

The man flew straight into the back wall and left a good human sized dent where the dart board once was. Steve swiftly grabbed my shoulder and pulled me up on my feet.

"ONE OF YOU TWO ARE PAYING FOR THAT WALL." Yelled Joe as he stomped out of the building. The bar was completely silent with all eyes on me as I watched in horror as the man probably 300 pounds more than me got up from the rubble holding a hammer the size of my face.

"Who dare-"

Tony cut off the man abruptly. "Easy there, Thor. Our new recruit hasn't met an alien yet"

"AH YES. BRING FORTH THE MAN THAT WIELDS THE POWER TO SIMPLY CATCH ME OFF GUARD. WE SHALL DRINK TONIGHT AS WE GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER."

Natasha snorted. "Yeah that's not happening."

"This is our new recruit." Said Clint as he patted me on the back.

The man looked at me dumbfounded. "A child?"

Tony glanced between us anxiously. "Thor, meet Ellie Shade. Ellie, meet Thor, son of Odin and ruler of Asgard. You two have a lot of catch up on."
