Copper Feather

Evie and Peter woke up the next morning, and the first thing Evie noticed was that there was something on her finger. She glanced down at it, then the memories of yesterday flew back to her. Woah. Peter had offered her a promise ring! And the scavenger hunt! She hugged Peters arm closer.

Going to Peters old apartment had been... wow. The memories. Geez. Who'd moved in now? She kind of missed the way it was. The late nights, slightly warm champagne, cuddling till dawn. Evie sighed. Peter rolled over, his hazel eyes clouded in the dwindling dream he was still half-in. Evie pulled down her tank-top as she sat up.

She left the bed, pulling the covers up on Peter. They were engaged, after all. Evie almost squeed. She went to her room and changed into sweatpants and an oversized sweatshirt. It used to be Steve's.

She curled up on the couch with a bowl of chocolate popcorn. She turned on her Netflix account and watched Supernatural. She was sitting there for a long time, long enough to watch 4 episodes. She did hear Peter getting into the shower. She didn't notice how eerily quiet it was. She went into the lab and got some blank blueprint paper.

She sat there for hours, planning out a house. It was a nice house with 4 bedrooms and 5 baths. She got detailed, even planning out the furniture. She finished around 3:30, with a stop for lunch. She was, by the end, very happy with her house. She decided to present Tony with the plans, in hopes of it being her birthday present.

Peter texted her to get into some decent clothes and meet him in the boardroom. Evie shrugged, deciding this was one of the times she shouldn't ask why. She went to her closet and picked out a bright red skater skirt with a matching shirt, and a pale blue shawl. She was pleased when the closet presented her with jewelry that matched her new ring. *Squee*.

She got in the elevator, whizzing up to the boardroom. She walked off the elevator and saw Peter by the door. She walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Hey. What's going..." Peter opened the door.

There was a party set up in the huge boardroom. The tables had been moved, and in the middle of the room was a sign that read "Congratulations." Tony had obviously hacked into Evie's Spotify, as her favorite songs were playing.

They partied until 1 AM, and Evie might have had a glass of champagne (or two). Eventually, Clint and Natasha retired to their individual rooms. Tony gave Evie a look when he spotted her taking another sip of champagne. " Two glasses won't hurt, Tony," she said. She walked out of the boardroom, past an unconscious Peter, and into the elevator. She crawled into bed after leaving herself an Advil and a glass of water. She crept into Peter's room, pondered it for a second, then did the same thing with everyone else. She then returned to her room for some much-needed sleep.

Thor walked into Tony's lab the next morning. "Hey, Tony." Tony looked up at Thor, setting down his papers. "What's up?" Thor cleared his throat. "I need to return to Asgard." Tony walked to the couch, sitting down. "Why?" Thor answered, "The Valkyrie is being reinstated." Tony blinked twice. "The female warriors, protectors of the throne?" "Oh... right... bye." He turned to leave, but Thor interrupted. "Tony, I promised Evie would return with me to Asgard the next time I went back." Tony paused. "Okay. Don't be gone long." "Tony, the ceremony lasts two weeks."

Tony turned, looking Thor in the eye. "Then don't let her down. Show her everything Asgard has to offer. The girl deserves to be happy, Thor. Make her be as such." Thor nodded, going to Evie's room. When he arrived, there was a happy Evie, cleaning her already-nearly-spotless room. "Hey, Thor. What do you need?" She walked over to the closet and returned some clothes. "I'm going to Asgard," Evie turned to face him. "Oh. Goodbye." "No, I want you to come with me. We're reinstating the Valkyrie League. 'We're' being Loki and I. I want you to be a Valkyrie." Evie's blue eyes widened, and she nodded. "Of course, I'll pack a bag." Thor shook his head. "There's a room prepared for you in Asgard, plus you'll be in Valkyrie attire."
