Chapter Two

Steve sat alone in the loud cafeteria, poking forlornly at his bologna sandwich which wasn't looking nearly as appetizing as it had seemed when he made it that morning.

He was completely ignored by everyone now. It seemed like everyone liked Tony. No, everyone loved Tony. They adored Tony, they did everything that Tony told them to. Tony, Tony, TONY.

Steve realized that he had gotten so frustrated that he slammed his fist on the table and everyone stared at him. He shrunk into his seat and decided to simply ignore them. Well, until he saw a blond haired athletic-looking teen come towards him.

"Hey, you're the new kid right?" That wasn't what Steve was expecting at all, but he was very grateful to be proven wrong. No one wants to get beat up by a jock, that would make his first day even worse.

"Yeah. Steve Rogers." The blond kid must've taken this as an invitation to sit down, so he plopped down next to Steve and smiled.

"Yeah, heard you got off on the wrong side with Tony this morning. You're not the only one. I'm Thor by the way. Don't ask about the name, my mom was a huge geek." Thor rolled his eyes.

"Okay, uh, hi Thor. Did you get off on the wrong foot with Tony too?" Steve asked.

"You could say that. I'm his... well, I'm sure he'd consider me a rival. I consider us frenemies." Thor grinned. Steve noticed that this guy smiled a lot. He thought that was pretty cool.

"So, allow me to introduce you to the entire student population, or at least the one that 'matters'." Thor started with pointing out someone Steve hadn't noticed before, another loner, but he looked content with his situation.

"That's my brother, Loki. I don't even want to know what he's doing right now. Probably something to do with the doom of Clint. Anyways, he's a pretty big sociopath with a superiority complex. We don't get along very well, but he doesn't get along with anybody. Except Natasha Romanoff over there. Loki's got a major crush slash borderline obsessive crush on her." Thor paused for breath and then pointed out a fiery red head girl and a brunette guy talking at a table near Loki's.

"That's Natasha and her 'friend', Clint. We all know they're totally head over heels for each other, but I doubt it will ever happen. They're both so, eh, they like to look tough and menacing and goth. Okay, forget the goth part, that's still my brother. He was goth in seventh grade." Steve looked at the aforementioned couple. She had short curly red hair and wore a black leather jacket, he could see why Loki would have a crush on her. She was certainly pretty. He also thought Thor probably liked to exaggerate, they certainly didn't look goth. Steve knew goth. They were not goth.

"Okay, moving on. Over sitting with Tony is Bruce Banner. They're best friends, and polar opposites. Bruce is pretty nice, calm, and pretty quiet, but I saw him get angry once," Thor shook his head. "He goes insane. Never get on his bad side. It's like he has some bizarre alter ego or something."

Steve glanced at the table where they were sitting. Bruce looked so nice. He had short wavy brown hair and he was mostly paying attention to his food rather than his best friend's - VERY obnoxious. - antics. "When'd you see him get angry?"

"See Tony's girlfriend over there? She's Pepper. She's pretty flirtatious. One time this creep in his senior year had her cornered behind the gym and Bruce found them. He came unhinged. He beat the guy to a bloody pulp, I found them fighting," He paused and chuckled. "Suffice it to say, even if allowed that guy never would've come back. He was expelled, Bruce got detention for like two weeks. It shouldn't be funny, but that creep deserved it."

"Wow, I can't see a guy like him doing that," Steve said skeptically. Yup, definitely an exaggeration.

"Always the quiet ones," He replied.

"Wait, you have a British accent, so why're you here in boring old New York? You should've stayed in England. They don't have Tony Stark in England." Steve said with a frown.

"Oh, they have worse. My parents moved us here when I started high school. I'm sixteen now, and Loki's fourteen." Thor explained.

"Ah." Steve tried to eat his sandwich but found that it was soggy and gross, so he threw it away and ate his apple. He'd pay for cafeteria lunches from now on.

The bell rang and all the students began to file out of the cafeteria and to their lockers. Steve walked out and was surprised when Thor followed him.

"I thought you were a 'popular' kid too," he said.

"Tony's words, not mine. I'm just a jock." Thor shrugged. "I'll see you later then."

"Yeah, sure." Steve said goodbye. Hmm, maybe this day wasn't going to be-

Steve had walked right into Tony without looking and they had both fallen to the floor. He was now sprawled on top of Tony who looked very annoyed and uncomfortable. Said genius had been going through his locker at the time and now half of its contents were spilled across the floor.

Steve got up, grabbed his books, and quickly ran off, leaving a shocked Pepper to help up Tony who started cursing loudly in the direction Steve had gone in.

"What a stupid frickin'..." Tony looked furious.

"Tony, why are you so angry? I'm sure it was an accident," Bruce said as he helped him gather his things.

"Accident? I don't care. That kid has bothered me since I met him!" Tony shoved everything that he didn't need back into his locker.

"Uh Tony, you just met him this morning," Pepper stated, not really in surprise, seeing as how Tony acted like this most of the time.

Tony just huffed but then slowly a smile spread across his face. If it were a cartoon, you'd see a lightbulb.

"Tony, let it go," Bruce warned quietly.

"I will, just as soon as I get revenge." He said melodramatically.

"Shut up, you sound like Loki," Pepper groaned.

"Great idea Pepper, we'll say Loki did it..." Tony trailed off and began rattling off plans for pranks to pull on Steve. Pepper and Bruce exchanged worried glances.
