Adopted By The Avengers

Chapter Thirty-One

Sakaar 

"Remind me to never travel by Air-Loki again." Bridget groans while standing up from the ground where she and Cas had crash landed. She looks around, while holding her hand to her bleeding forehead, to see them surrounded by trash. There were space-ships of sorts flying around and picking through it but without them, this place could've passed for a literal dump.

"Noted." Cas gruffs while pushing himself up. "Where would this staff be? All I see is garbage." 

"I don't know." Bridget shakes her head. "I don't know why I should know, either." 

"Maybe it's from a few years ago, I do remember Dean talking about how you couldn't remember a lot of things from a few years ago." Cas offers but Bridget shakes her head.

"I feel like I would remember traveling with a god to another planet, Cas." She deadpans.

"No, because you forgot when I took you back in time." He argues.

"That's because you erased my memory!" Bridget cries in response. "Wait, this isn't getting us anywhere." 

"What are you wearing?" Cas inquires after a few beats of silence.

"What do you mean 'what am I wearing?' What are you wearing?" Bridget fires back after getting a good look at the angels new ensemble. 

Instead of his usual trench coat, Cas now wore a tight sleeveless shirt that was all black except for a green streak across the middle. He wore similar pants and combat boots with a few weapons that didn't look like they were made on Earth strapped to his legs. Bridget slowly looks down to see that she had a similar outfit on, except the stripe on her shirt was blue. 

"Is this his way of blending in?" Cas questions.

"We look like we should be in Terminator or something." Bridget groans. "How the hell are we going to blend in now?!"

Bobby's House

"Charlie, come on!" Dean shouts. "You have to remember something!"

"I told you, Dean!" Charlie screams back. "All I remember is Bridget saying that she and Cas were going on a mission and that if it was successful they'd be home in a few days." 

"Do you even remember who was there?" Steve tries with a gentler tone.

"No." Charlie mumbles while grabbing her hair. "I don't. At all." 

"This sounds like something my brother did a few years ago." Thor chuckles. "Loki was always playing tricks."

Charlie's face goes pale as she slowly turns her gaze away from the floor. "Say his name again."

"Loki?" Thor raises his eyebrows.

"It was him!" She shouts. "That's the man that was there! He took us and sent Bridget on a mission!" 

"Are you sure?" Tony demands.

"I'm positive!" 

Sakaar

"Alright, so this place does have an inner city." Bridget comments as she steps out of the way of a woman carrying a cart piled high with her belongings. "It's just as shitty as the outer parts." 

"How are we to find a staff here?" Cas hisses under his breath, being sure to stay close to Bridget because of how many people were giving him the side eye. 

"I don't know, maybe ask?" She offers.

"That is a horrible idea." Cas deadpans. Bridget is about to answer when a group of five or six girls passes her, all excitedly talking about the strangers from Xandar and their latest conquest. Apparently, they were the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and they had just defeated some monster that held treasures deep in the depths of this planet.

"Have you ever heard of Xandar?" Bridget randomly questions, Cas gives her a weird look out of the corner of his eye. 

"I don't believe so, why?" Cas raises his eyebrow.

"Because, I want to find out more about the heroes from there." She replies. 

"I'm confused." Cas mumbles as Bridget quickly whirls around to follow the girls. 

"Excuse me!" She calls, only gaining the attention of a the youngest looking one in the group. Slowly, she pulls herself away from her friends and turns to look at Bridget with her crystal blue eyes that stood out with her pink skin. "I overheard you talking about some heroes from Xandar, are they here?"

"Yes, they are visiting the Grand Master." The girl replies. "Up there." Bridget follows the girls finger to a large building that sat in the middle of the planet with sculptures carved on the sides. One looking oddly like the hulk. 

"Thank you." Bridget mumbles. "Uh, for your help."

"No problem." The girl smiles. "But don't get your hopes up, the Guardians aren't visiting citizens today, they're only here for business purposes." 

"We'll see about that." Bridget whispers under her breath as she starts to walk back towards Cas, who had waited for her in the exact spot that she left him. "Castiel, how good of an actor are you?"

"Um, I do believe that I am quite skilled." Cas replies. "I think." 

"Good," Bridget nods. "That's great." 

"Why?" He inquires. 

"Because you need to pretend that you're....selling me." 

Bobby's Place

"Saku, Samar....god." Charlie shakes her head. 

"Sakaar." Thor breathes while staring at the redhead. "Is that what you are trying to say?"

"I think so." Charlie smiles. "But...we can't get there, can we?"

"He's going after the staff." Thor announces while looking at the other Avengers. "And using Bridget as his pawn because he knows that there are dangerous trials to get there." 

"Then we have to get there first to stop them, right?" Dean demands.

"This is more our field." Clint replies. "Like monsters are yours, space is ours."

"She's our family too." Sam argues. "So we go with, or find our own way." 

"Just let them come." Tony finally speaks up after a few minutes of silence. "They may have a few skills that we need to get her and that...angel back." 

"Fine." Steve agrees. "But you have to stay with at least one of us, no going off on your own." 

"Deal." Dean nods. "Just don't boss me around." 

"Dean." Sam warns. 

"I can already tell this trip is going to be fantastic." Clint grumbles under his breath while crossing his arms.
