(LokixReader) The Fourth Wall

Chapter 10

Being stuck in a car for an hour with all these guys didn't seem ideal. I wasn't sure if my car would be spacious enough to fit them all. I only have two cars, and the biggest one is my minivan. That seats seven people, and there's eight people including myself. I really wasn't in the mood to smash eight people into a seven-seater. I didn't want to get pulled over and arrested because I was taking the Avengers to a science lab so they could break in and steal stuff and I didn't have enough seat belts for them all.

But I wanted to help. I desperately wanted to help them any way possible. I was at a loss, since I wasn't a superhuman of any sort. All I wanted was to give them a hand.

"My car is too small to fit all of you. But, I think we can find a way around that," I spoke up.

"Think we could rent a bigger car?" Tony suggested. I paused and considered it. I could do that. Money wouldn't be an issue, either. I could take out some money from my inheritance. Yeah, I shouldn't waste it, but something like this quite literally happens once in a lifetime. I was staring at the Avengers. They were real and standing in my living room.

I felt bad because, as I previously stated, I was no superhuman. I had no special ability to help them. It was such a disheartening feeling to think about not helping them out.

"Let's look into it. Renting a bigger car would definitely be doable," I nodded in agreement and picked up my laptop so I could find a rental place nearby.

As I calmly and quietly typed away, I could sense the tension in the room grow as Tony looked over at Steve and began to chuckle a bit.

"You think this is funny, Stark?" Steve spoke up defensively.

"It's pretty hilarious, if I do say so myself. Do you have any idea the scientific breakthroughs we just went through to get here? This is big! We can go back to our earth and share this with the world! So many theories solved and/or debunked, I'm itching with excitement!" Tony let out a laugh as he looked at Steve's stone cold face.

Tony glanced at Bruce for some help. Bruce seemed to be in no mood to get in the middle, so he just awkwardly smiled and shrugged.

"Okay, so I found a place that'll let me rent a white raper van. I can go pick it up with someone and we can take off tomorrow morning," I said while looking down at the van on the website.

"I'll join you," Tony said as he stood up.

"Cool. Everyone else, please don't break anything," I begged while I collected my coat and my wallet.

And with that, Tony and I headed to the rental dealership.
