(OCC: We can end it now if you want. I can just make some conversations just go on and others just stop. For the record, Mary Jane is now gone)
"I understand. The temper issue can easily be avoided. Maybe you and I can work something out? Like chit-chat or something. Anything that makes you more comfortable. Also, I know that losing johnny, if the worst happens to sue, alicia and reed, would be catastrophic for you, because so would it for me" Steve replied calmly, observing the other. He felt the pressures of age surprisingly get to him once more. Even though he was supposedly still around his young adult years, he was in actuality 95 or so, and it made talking to people the same age as he was in physical form very strange sometimes. But not with ben. It felt easy
"Hey. Now you can say he gets his good looks from me then" Steve responded with a teasing tone. Then he frowned, softly responding, as Ben brought back up the unlikely chance sue was dead "Wait. Cosmic energy is different from the solider serum, maybe just maybe it can give sue enough strength. If it gave her the powers she had, surely it could be powerful enough to give her the chance to survive. I mean, I'm no scientist clearly, but I'm thinking options here. Besides, even if they are dead, Loki sure as hell isn't going to get away with it let me tell you"
"It's totally fine Ben. My door, regardless of how busy I am, is always open for you" Steve replied then he nodded as ben left to get some rest. That he needed some time to think clearly and went off to find the rooms. Steve nodded and then turned to see Coulson busy with Natasha, Tony busy with Peter Parker and some woman he didn't meet yet. He saw Bruce busy with three men, two he just met and he saw Frigga talk with Storm. He DID see Darcy and Peter R. kiss but it wasn't his business so he decided to get much of his work finally finished and went off almost unnoticed.
(OCC: And steve is outta here too lol)

"I thank you for your support and I understand. Although Tony is the leader, I am sure a mother's point of view can convince even his opinionated view. Regardless I will speak to him about this" Frigga responded calmly, very aware of the fact Storm was only one person that understood her issues. That not everyone would be of the same state of mind or sentiment. She then nodded a farewell as Ben left. Then turned to see Darcy kissing Storm's student and blushed slightly, as a mother it was a long time since she herself shared any romance, so this was a bit more awkward for her to see. Then Storm commented and she then widened her grin "Yes. That is good. Being happy with one who loves you is much better than loving someone who does not have the same feelings. I too am glad for your student"

Darcy smiled at Piotr's response that he was glad he could help her but nodded as Piotr said that Storm only used her powers when provoked or in practice. She nodded again softly, still hurt by the chance of not seeing the person who captured her friend having to be punished in time rather than the very moment. She was beyond agitated. Her best friend was gone and she had no way of actually finding her. It sucked. She hated it. But Piotr made the situation so much easier. His presence was comforting. He was adorable and sweet, as well as sincere and honest. She liked a sensitive guy who was concerned about her emotions and feelings. She then nodded softly as Piotr said he would definitely kiss her again but only if she stopped being upset. Then he kissed her again, and it was more passionate than the last one, but not by much. It was still a comforting, loving kiss. True kisses normally were meant to be loving but Darcy never really had kisses like this one. She held onto him closely, kissing him back with her own sense of effort and it did last a while. It felt like ages, when in reality it was like minutes. She grinned as they pulled back and she put her forehead against Piotr's, smiling softly and responded "Well that's one way to cheer someone up. Thank you peter"

"Perhaps but not by much!" Fandral laughed as Mike quipped up a suggestion for Volstagg, and Volstagg just rolled his eyes. The fatter man just poked Fandral and responded back "It's better than thinking about how pretty you hair is" He laughed and Fandral simply glared at the other. The two did bicker like brothers but the two always tended to enjoy it, as seen as the glares and insults were deliberately to berate and argue for the fun of it. Not to be mean to each other. Just all a bit of their own type of fun.
"We will!" Both men said as Mike offered the warriors four. But as the conversations continued, the two kept their own attention at their new young friend and ally. They smiled as the young man said that he felt like the two were the brothers he never had. That meant a lot to the both of them but for different reasons. Volstagg always was a family man so having a "brother" was always nice to have even though he had many, while Fandral just felt a simple connection of trust and promise. The two then frowned as the loki conversation continued. Volstagg spoke in agreement "Yes. The allmother is a very gracious and good queen so it is a very bad shame she suffers such personal issues"
Suddenly Mike talked about his cousin and the two listened with a friendly ear. The two were sympathetic and as Mike finished, Volstagg hugged him while Fandral stood over and patted the boy's back once more. "We are sorry for your loss and your response to it is completely understandable. I wish I could make the pain less hard upon you" Fandral said with sincerity as Volstagg nodded once more in agreement. Eventually the man let go and the food topic was on once more.
"Maybe but until you do something or someone makes these vegetables interesting, I think I will pass on it" Volstagg said with mild disgust. Fandral laughed "It is no use young mike, he's more stubborn than a mule! And hungrier than a pig!" Volstagg poked Fandral hard then and ignored him as Mike said that he would make hamburger meat for him soon. "Splendid! I thank you my young friend!" As the conversation turned to Bruce again, the two out of common decency and respect held their tongues. Then Bruce invited them to go find food with mike, and Volstagg collided with mike and bruce and responded "Yes! Finally! A quest made for one such a myself! To the food sanctuary!" Fandral laughed as the three went off and responded loudly "I swear Volstagg if you're not careful you can simply rat us out with your boisterous voice!"

"Well now, it's not as fun as you think. Constantly having to move. It's a hassle" To say it was a hassle was a damned understatement. He didn't want to dampen on Mike's parade but for bruce, it was a whole different experience to travel. But to make the response light-hearted, Bruce made sure it sounded like a joke. Like a facade of interest rather than brooding. He had whined before and it never worked, so without a doubt use a sense of humor. Besides, he wanted to appear charming for this incredibly cute young man. He wanted to impress him by being kind rather than egotistical. That worked before with Betty, even if it didn't work out too much in the end, but it DID work to impress her. Although his shyness was genuine as well as his modesty as Mike continued to talk with him "We can definitely be friends and I'm sure the other guy can use a friend for once" He then blushed some more as Mike kept praising him. Saying he was a good scientist, person and hero and that anyone who thought differently was a idiot or someone who didn't know bruce enough.
"Again. Thanks Mike. I really appreciate this. It's been a while since someone was actually honest with their praise rather than saying it out of fear of being punched. Not that you are mind you, it's just nice to hear genuine nice words" He then saw Mike get hungry and offered "I'm sure there's something in the kitchen. Wherever that is. Let's go find it" He then turned to the other two men, Fandral and Volstagg, and responded "You can come too if you want" Volstagg then grabbed them and Bruce gasped before the three went off with fandral behind

"I do too. As for Thor, we definitely need to find out his situation. At best he's imprisoned and we need to rescue him, at worst he's dead. Frigga is his mother and surely she must have known some things before being forced to exile. I'll have a chat with her and see what she knows. Dear god I hope Loki didn't do anything to either thor or clint. Their knowledge and abilities can be used for many things, both good and bad" Natasha softly said, her tone firm but her gaze rather vunerable surprisingly. It always seemed to go this road when Clint's life was at stake.
"Agreed. A house divided can't stand they always say. We'll keep them here under safety conditions and give them whatever they need or want to control their anger and powers. If they can't control themselves, we can't control them the right way either. It's too risky for them to be independent right now" Natasha agreed as the conversation went on. She then nodded as mike might have to be protected "While I agree with you coulson and will make sure Mike protects himself, I think I like the fact Bruce is trying to get with somebody. Maybe having a companion for once should do him good. Still I'll keep a eye on them and make sure they improve the right way"
"Definitely. If her son knows, than she probably knows" Natasha responded as more loki problems came up. She then continued with their last conversation "Me too. Besides, tony and him bickering could be fun to see"
XXXXXX
"No she probably doesn't want me dead at all like you don't, you're right. I will be careful for your sake.... And hers" Tony sighed, looking down to the ground for a moment before Peter continued talking. His vunerable side couldn't come right now, not when he was leader, not when there was a big war going on. Not now. He laughed as Peter asked if he was full of surprises "Indeed I am, kid. Just you wait. I got plenty of surprises for the royal highness once we're all ready and prepared to take him down. But that's all in good time" He then listened as Peter kept praising JARVIS, much to Tony's unamused displeasure. Great now the AI would have more to backtalk to him about. Hey at least peter likes me the AI would say. At least parker treats me kindly, unlike you stark, the dumbass AI would say.
"We are a team. A team that always has problems but a team nonetheless" Tony replied sarcastically. He then heard JARVIS snap back Yes. Unfortunately those problems relate to your ego. Anyway, Peter, I suppose I can call you that since you wish me too. It is indeed a pleasure to have some respect around this place. Apoligies for making you feel... Old
"You make peter feel old and me feel like I need a aspirin. Boy isn't that amazing" Tony rolled his eyes before smiling about the conversation turning to pepper. "Me too son. I'm lucky to have her" Tony replied. He then pondered as Peter put a hand on his shoulder and as he mentioned the company, Tony's vulnerability came back without meaning to "Oh I know I'll bounce back. I'm not worried about my company. I'm worried about pepper more than anything" Tony sighed softly. Then Peter hugged him and tony allowed this to happen, hugging him back with one arm gently. "Appreciate the support son. I'll be sure to give you a nice chit-chat"
As Mary Jane left the scene after hearing Peter's final parts to her, Tony felt sorry for both peter and Mary jane. The two were different people. The two, in a sense, were similar to him and pepper. With pepper she was very much into Tony's safety and personal health, much like peter's personality and state of mind, while he just wanted to be a hero and be with pepper at the same time regardless, like mary jane's attitude with peter. The two just had different ways of protection and didn't know what to do with the other right now. He then saw Peter cry and get upset and the man just felt both antsy and sorry for the young man. Peter obviously was trying really hard. Being a hero sometimes meant serious penalties. Tony learned this the hard way. He came over and gently hugged the boy "Hey, hey. It'll be ok parker. Not now obviously but definitely soon. Like she said, she's only human, she needs time and space for right now. But with the right push, she'll forgive you and you two can make it work. Don't beat yourself up over this, she seems to be getting through but her anger is pretty high. Just let her breathe and you get rest"
"I understand. The temper issue can easily be avoided. Maybe you and I can work something out? Like chit-chat or something. Anything that makes you more comfortable. Also, I know that losing johnny, if the worst happens to sue, alicia and reed, would be catastrophic for you, because so would it for me" Steve replied calmly, observing the other.
