" hey Bruce." I said silently, leaning against the door frame.
He dropped whatever he was holding and glass shattered across the floor as he stared at me with big eyes.
" Zoe!" He jumped over the glass and ran to me, picking me up and spinning me in circles.
" I knew you'd find her Steve!" He smiled an set me down, turning to the sound of a familiar feminine voice.
" honey, what's going on in there?"
She walked into the room and her hands immediately flew to her face, trying to slow down the tears.
" is this real?" She asked.
I nodded and walked over to her, squeezing her tightly.
" it's good to see you again Betty." I said trying to hold in the back the tears threatening to fall.
" h-how?" She stuttered.
I sat her down." It'll all be explained some other day when everyone's here. It's a little bit of a long story." I said rubbing her back.
" b-but how?" She asked again.
I chuckled softly and patted her on the back.
I was so close to every one of the girls, and every one else here in the avengers tower.
She sobbed again and I looked over to the guys and did a ' give us a moment' look.
They got it immediately and they scurried out of the room.
Natasha came over and sat on the other side of Betty and started to tear up as well.
" calm down you too. I'm here. There's no need to cry." I hushed them.
They looked up and Tasha said." These aren't tears of sadness. These are of happiness!" She cried.
" alright guys. I'm sorry to cut this crying party short. But I need to pay a visit to the others." I said hugging them both tightly and then walking quickly out the door, gesturing for the guys to come closer.
" their kinda in a crying fest right now, I just warned you in case."
I smirked.
They smiled ." Hey. It's good to have your sarcasm back!" Bruce laughed, patting me on the back.
I heard the elevator ding in the next room.
" that's tony and pepper, and maybe Gwen and Peter too." Steve whispered.
I grinned." Well this will be a surprise!" Snuck out of the room and his behind a wall , winking at the guys.
I moved out of sight and stood next to the elevator.
They walked in and I played it cool.
" so I was thinking about making pizza for dinner. Anybody up to that?"
They spun around and they dropped whatever they were holding.
" hey. Steve found you!" Tony said happily pecking me on the cheek.
I nodded and smiled." Yup. Hey pepper."
She was still in shock . Her eyes were wide and it looked like she was gonna pass out.
I was right.
As soon as I said that she fainted.
My eyes widened and I ran over desperately trying to wake her up along with the help of tony.
" Zoe......" Peters voice came from the door.
" yo spidey!" I smirked wrapping my arms around his waist.
He froze for a minute before it all came to him.
" are you a ghost? Cause I am so sorry. I was not the one who stole your pop tarts it was Thor. There you can go rest in peace." He said backing up slowly.
I laughed." Dude I'm real, ya know. "
He still didn't believe me." How are you here?" He asked.
" long story." He nodded." Well.......OMG YOUR ALIVE!" He screeched finally realizing it.
He scooped me into his arms and kissed me on the cheek before putting me down.
" this is crazy. I need to go lie down." He said walking towards his room." Gwen honey ya coming?" He yelled.
I turned and smiled at Gwen who also stood frozen with her finger pointing at me and her mouth agape.
" oh God. Don't faint. Please do not faint." I begged going over to her and waving my hand in front of her face.
She blinked twice and stared at me." Oh. My. Gosh."
I nodded." Hey Gwen. I'm alive." I smiled and waved awkwardly.
" I missed you so much! Where were you all these years?" She asked and found her arms around my neck, squeezing me tightly.
" Peter has been on my nerves lately thank God your here!" She smiled as happy tears ran down her face.
" I heard that!" Peter yelled from inside his room.
We giggled and let go of each other as I gazed around the room.
" I need to know how your alive." She prodded.
" wait . Till tonight." I said and she nodded slowly before skipping off to Peter , squealing.
" hey tony. I forgot to ask. Tasha told me jake was on a date but I even forgot he was in a coma. What happened to that?" I asked .
I turned to him as he sat next to pepper trying to wake her up.
He looked up and smiled sheepishly.
" he kinda woke up right after you 'died'" he squeaked out.
I did a low whistle." Well that's unfortunate."
He nodded." When's he gonna be back?" I asked.
" any moment now." He shrugged.
I grinned." Great."
I skipped to jakes room and made myself comfortable on the bed.
Minutes later I heard the door open and he walked in, talking on the phone.
" alright babe. Talk to you later." He said and hung up the phone.
I pretended to stare off into space and said.
" who's the girl?"
He jumped and threw his phone at me.
I move just in time and stood, walking to him.
He was in a defensive stance and he had a gun pointed at my head.
" whoa there. Don't wanna kill me again." I said holding my hands in the air.
He lowered his gun and it clanked on the floor.
" Zoe?" He asked.
I bit my lip and nodded." Yup. The one and only."
He fell to his knees and covered his face with his hands.
Before I knew it I was on the ground next to him, hugging him tightly as he sobbed.
