I Forgive You ( Avengers Love Story)

Chapter 6 Destiny

Sarah sat on her couch reading. Almost a weak has past since she visited the Avengers and she had to say, she was getting lonely. Suddenly her cell phone rang. She grabbed it from the small corner table that was next to the couch. Looking at the id. A picture of Colin, her long time friend came up. She smiled at her phone before answering. He has been in England for the longest time.

Colin!

Sarah picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Exciting news!" He said, his British accent clear. Sarah laughed. "What?" "I've bought a ticket to the States. I'm off in three weeks." Sarah's eyes widened in surprise. Now she was excited. "No!""Yes! To a fantastic place called Wisconsin" Sarah frowned. "No!" "Yes! Wisconsin babes, here comes Sir Colin! Whoo hoo!" Sarah shook her head, even though Colin wasn't in front of her. "No, Col! There are a few babes in America, I grant you, but they're already going out with rich, attractive guys." "Nah, Tone, you're just jealous. You know perfectly well that any bar anywhere in America contains ten girls more beautiful and more likely to have sex with me than the whole of the United Kingdom." Sarah smacked her head with her hand. "That is total crap. You've actually gone mad, now." She could hear his smile. "No, I'm wise. Stateside I am Prince William without the weird family." Sarah sighed. "No, Colin, no!" "Yes!" "Nyet!" "Da!" "Nein!" "Ja, darling!" "Listen Colin if you are to come hear at least come to New York!" "Yes, yes fine! But you cant stop me from getting the babes!" With that he hung up. Sarah sighed again. Not 5 minutes later her phone rang again. She looked to find Tony calling.

  "Hello Tony" Her voice was calm and inviting. "Hey sweetie. Have lunch with me would y'a I got to talk to you about some things." Sarah rolled her eyes at her nickname. "Yeah, sure Tony where and when?" She got the place and time and hung up the phone. Sighing she got up from the couch and took a shower and changed. Maybe she would tell him. She had to at some point right? What if he already knew?

Looking at herself in the mirror, Sarah touched her stomach gently, a small frown on her face. Sarah didnt know what to do. After a while it was time for her to to go meet Tony. Sarahs hands trembled slightly, she was nervuse. At 3:15 she arrived at a resturant called Scrambled. Tony was already seated. She smiled at him as she made her way to the table. The place wasnt to fancy but not extreamly casual eaither, Sarah actually felt slightly under dressed. ony gave a small smile when he noticed Sarah, he waved her over quickly. Somebodys anxtious' Sarah thought taking a seat. "Hey Tony, whats up?" Tony opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. Instead he simply dug into his pocket and pulled out a small white box. Sarahs eyes widened slightly. 'Is that what I think it is? Is he..' Tony intorupted her thoughts. "Its for Pepper." Tony pressed his lips together, looking at Sarah for a responce. "I..uh..wow." Sarah didn know what to say. She picked up the box to see a large beautiful engament ring.

"I know its a bit much, Pepper isnt really into all that but I figured she could make an exception this time." Tony added, looking down at the ring as well. Sarah gained her sence back. "Tony I'm...so happy for you, but why did you bring me here to show me this." Thats where Tony was stumpted. The truth was he didnt know why he needed to show Sarah the ring he was planning to give Pepper. To see how she felt, to see if she would try and talk him out of it? As soon as he got it he simply needed to let her know. Sarah was staring at him waiting for an answer. "I just, thought since you and Pep are such good friends, you should be in on the surprise." Sarah closed the box and set it on the table before scooting it back towrd Tony. "Wow Tony, this is a very grown up thing to do." Sarah felt her heart tighten. A slight pressure, that told her how she really felt about all this. What could she do though. Tell him not to do it, that she loved him..did she love him? Sarah woundered if Thor, or Steve, or even Loki came up and gave her this information, how she would respond. How did Tony want her to respond? Sarah took hold of Tony's hands, that were now resting on the table. "She is going to love it."

Sarah went back to the Avengers home with Tony. She figured she should visit everyoe else while she was out. As usual she was greeted with a hug from everyone, everyone accept Loki, that is. He simply sat on the couch and ignored her. "Whats up with him?" Sarah asked Thor. Thor glance over at Loki and smirked. "He was rather upset when he found you were not here for such a long time. He was under the impression that you lived here as well. I wont deny I was rather disapointed myself." Sarah smiled up at Thor. He had such a nice face, very manly. Sarah placed her palm against his cheek for a moment before turning away and making her way to Loki. "Hey there mr. grumpy pants." Loki glared at her. "What did you just refer to me as? I am not Grumpy. I am highly annoyed. Sarah ploped down next to him on the couch. "Annoyed by what exactly?" She rested her head on her fist, as her arm pressed againt the back of the couch. "Why do you not live here as well?" Sarah shrugged. "To much hero to handle I suppose. I dont know how Natasha does it." Sarah looked around the room. "Where is Natasha anyway?" Loki rolled his eyes as he thought of the deep red haired woman. "Her and the arrow man seem to be having a bit of a lovers querrel. Pathetic really." Sarah sighed. "Oh Loki, one day, maybe not today or tomroow, but one day you will fall inlove. When that happens, you will see just how not pathetic it actually is." Loki raised an eyebrow. "Love is not in my destiney. It makes you weak." Sarah ajusted herself so that she was now shoulder to shoulder with Loki. "Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental, and yes love can make you weak, but it is also the thing that makes you stronger." Loki looked into Sarahs deep green eyes. Eyes that seemed to hold so much remorse. "Oh my god! TONY YES!" Loki and Sarah looked in the direction of the kitchen. Pepper jumped into Tonys arms hugging him tight, he ofcourse returned the hug happily. Loki rolled his eyes and looked back at Sarah who was still watching them. A small smile was placed on her face, but loki could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Thor watched Sarah talk to Loki quietly. He was not surprised that Loki had taken such a liking Sarah, but was slightly uncomfortable with it. Thor hadnt spent much time talking to Sarah without the others around, even with so they were only short moments. He thought of the look she gave him as she touched his cheek. A look that seemed as though she was happy that someone missed her. What he didnt know is why. He would be foolish to think he was the only person who found this place not as nice without her presence. So why would she feel as though he was the only one who missed her. Thor watched as Sarahs head went back as she laughed over something Steve had come up and said. Thor saw the way the solider looked at her. An admiring kind of look, one that was very hard to miss. "He likes her."Bruce said. Snaping Thor out of his thoughts. "She dont like him though." Tony comented on his other side. "What make you so sure?" Thor asked, raising an eyebrow at Tony. Tont scoffed. "Its obvious, you can see it in her eyes." Bruce shook his head. "I dont know..I think somethings there, look at the way shes smiling." Thor observed. She did have a bright smile at the moment. Then again she had that same smile when talking to all of them. Tony rolled his eyes. "Please, he dosnt stand a chance, raindeer has a better chance then star-spangled over there." Thor chuckled at the nicknames Tony had chosen. Bruce looked up at Thor. "Do you like her?" Thor smiled at himself. "Of course I like her, dont we all?" Tony pushed his eyebrows together."Oh no, no big guy, you Like her like her, dont you?" Thor looked at Tony with his eyebrows raised. "What does it matter if I were to say this is true." Burce chuckled a little, finding Thors termanology amusing. Tony on the other hand didnt answer, he smiply took a sip of the drink he had in his hand and walked away. Bruce eyed him suspiciously, before turning his attention back to Thor. "So do you?" Thor smiled. "I belive I may 'like her like her' as you so well put it."

Pepper looked down at the big ring she now had on her finger, with a smile on her face. Tony had actually poped the question. Pepper was starting to have her doubts on if Tony would ever completly commit to her. When he got back from saving the world something seemed off about him. He seemed distracted and distant. That is unless Sarah was over. Pepper would only admit to herself that as much as she liked Sarah, she was a little jelouse of her. The thing about that is she didnt know if she really had anything to be jelouse of. Pepper tried to ignore the small but frequent stares Tony would give Sarah when she was near, but that wasnt Sarahs fault. It also wasnt like Tony was the only one doing it, Sarah was simply a beautiful woman. Still though, it hurt to wounder how ofter Tony might think about sarah, if at all. Pepper had won though right, Tony was planning on marrying her, not Sarah. Won, as if there was actually a compotition for Tonys affections. Even if she did theoreticly win though, why was she feeling this way?
