The consequence ( sequel to the price of love)

Chapter 22

BRITTANY'S POV

" good morning." I murmured in nicks ear, shaking him slightly.

He awoke almost instantly and stretched." Morning." He muttered back, sitting up .

" you got work?" I asked sadly.

He always had to work, always on every occasion. No matter what day, it could be his birthday but he would still work. I admire how much he wants to work but, I mean he needs rest. And I wish he would be able to spend more time with me. That's my Christmas wish.

He nodded solemnly, taking his clothes and walking towards the washroom.

" being the director of SHIELD does that to ya." He called.

" well.." I started , standing and facing the window." But it's Christmas. Why not stay for a little while?"

I heard him sigh from the bathroom." I'm sorry Brittany. I can't. I promise when all this blows over, we'll be able to spend the rest of our lives together."

An unhappy sigh shook my body and I started to slowly get dressed, pulling my shirt over my head and slipping on my slippers.

" before you go. Let me tell you a couple things you need to know and tell the others." Nick walked out of the bathroom , now fully dressed, and started to speak.

" first of all. Your bringing your presents up to Tony's and Emma's floor, and the others might join you shortly. Second of all," he paused for a moment, putting his shoes on.

" you must tell the others that the weddings will all be in a months time, so that, in case....something....comes up , it won't ruin the wedding."

I nodded vigorously, and hugged him quickly before he left.

" have a good day." I said softly.

He turned to me , a ghost of a smile showing at his lips and then he was gone, out the door.

I sighed once again for the hundredth time and wandered out into the living room, looking up at the tree.

It shone brightly, the lights twinkling under the suns gaze.

It took me a minute to snap back into reality, taking all of the presents, labeled for me and others and stepping into the elevator.

" JARVIS?" I asked.

" good morning miss Flynn, how may I be of service?" His British voice floated out from the walls.

" take me to Tony's floor please."

" it would be my pleasure ma'am."

In a few short seconds the elevator dinged, signaling that I had arrived.

" thank you JARVIS." I said quietly, stepping out of the elevator.

" it was a pleasure ma'am. And merry Christmas."

I smiled to no one in particular.

" merry Christmas JARVIS."

I wandered out onto Tony's huge floor, gazing up at the 15 ft tree in awe.

" good morning Brittany." Emma called from beneath the tree, seeming to be surrounded by presents of all sizes and colors.

I nodded my greeting and walked over, spreading the presents across the floor.

" happy holidays!" Tony yelled, galloping,( literally galloping,) into the living room, a pair of antlers atop his head.

I giggled and looked to Emma with a questioning look.

She just shrugged and laughed along.

There was a silence for a minute or two until the elevator dinged.

" the merriest Christmas to all!!" Thor yelled, running to the tree and plopping next to me, a grin clear on his face.

" good morning Brittany. Good morning Emma. Good morning man of iron." He said quickly, shaking our hands.

This left me in shock and I froze.

" hey point break." Tony called, galloping in again with the antlers still on his head.

Thor's head shot up an with a grin he yelled." What is it metal man?!?"

" what did he eat for breakfast?" I whispered to Emma.

She shrugged, giggling slightly." I have no idea."

" I'm just like your brother!" Tony yelled, taking a roll of wrapping paper and standing on the sofa, a mock look on his face.

" I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious horns."

We all laughed.

" that is nothing like me." A voice snarled from across the room.

We whipped around, all of us shocked, except for Thor, who still had that goofy smile.

" brother! It is so good of you to join us on the merriest of Christmases!"

Thor ran up to Loki and hugged him, Loki patting his back awkwardly.

" who took you guys shopping?" Tasha called from the elevator.

" you knew about him coming?" Tony asked.

Clint nodded, coming into the scene.

" yeah all the agents of shield did."

I snorted." Yeah, except for me."

They shrugged, and Thor spoke loudly.

" we were taken 'shopping' with your midguardian friend by the name of Jane." Loki snarled with disgust.

Now that I noticed they weren't wearing their asgardian attire.

They wore jeans and T-shirts.

Strange, could this day get any weirder?
