Helloooo, readers! I apologize for this being so short and not posting last week, but if I had posted it then, all you would’ve had was the first sentence. 😀 Enjoy! See previous parts here.
Thor might have thought he was on Asgard if not for the sand in his hair. Thor had to admit that he liked his hair, and maybe even took a little pride in how it looked. Just like Volstagg and his beard. Sand in his hair was like food in Volstagg’s beard. Annoying, but inevitable on this island.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes before gazing around. He was surprised to notice that Captain Rogers was nowhere to be seen. Usually he was the first one up, but the captain seemed to have beaten him this morning.
Thor stretched and stood. The fire was nearly out, so he fed it with some wood he and Captain Rogers had gathered the night before. They would need to cook breakfast after the captain came back, hopefully with food. He paused. He hadn’t realized until now, but he hadn’t seen any animals or heard any birds since arriving at the island. Frowning, he switched directions and made his way over to the edge of the water. Some small pools had formed in hollow spaces a little ways down the beach, and he knelt over them. No sign of any fish. No life at all.
A shiver ran down his spine and he gazed up at the sky. Nothing. No birds. No fish. No creatures. No life.
He walked quickly back to the campfire, keeping an eye on it. Where had the captain gone? Now was not the time to disappear. He found himself pacing and forced himself to sit down and think this through. Not thinking was what had landed him powerless on Midgard originally. Good eventually came out of that, but at a price. He must think.
The fire began to dwindle again, so he decided to stay busy by finding some more wood. He headed over to the forest, but froze. A leg covered in familiar blue fabric stuck out of the underbrush.
Thor hurried over and easily uncovered the captain, uprooting a bush in the process. The captain lay on his face, and when Thor turned him over, he found a purplish bruise forming just above his temple.
The captain stirred in his arms and moaned. Thor shook him gently. “Are you all right?” he asked. The other man blinked, looking woozy. Then his eyes widened and he began to attempt to struggle. In his weakened state, it was easy for Thor to keep a grip on him. “What’s wrong?” Thor asked.
The captain gazed around frantically. “B-b… b…” he croaked hoarsely.
Thor’s forehead wrinkled in confusion. “B?” He thought. “Bilchsteim? Bifrost? Bruise?”
The captain slumped, a pained look crossing his face. “Bucky.”
Duh-duh-duhnnn…
A like gets you a trip to Asgard, a comment lets Thor and company be your tour guides.
*gasp* Bucky? Oh no, bad Bucky?
Noooo!
Man, good job! This is an even worse ending than last time! 😛

I think all these cliffhangers are working to your advantage if you want my lego/avengers story soon.
You’re getting my all psyched up, so I’m writing a lot faster.

Oh, and the goal…
Ever lost a lego guy down an air vent? That was the doom of many of our family’s lego people.
So the goal of my story is to get Black Widow out of the air vent. XP

😛 Well, if someone tried to force her into giving them a piggy-back ride…. it wouldn’t end well.

That would be kind of scary… Sif is scary. 😛
I’m drawing an awkward moment picture. Natasha borrowed Steve’s shirt and he made the mistake of asking Bruce quietly “Is that my shirt?” and Natasha heard. So then she got in his face and eventually threw the shirt at him. 😛

XD That sounds hilarious!
LikeLike
Yeah… The awkward part is that Natasha is one of those weird people who think that outer garments are optional…. so she’s waving the shirt in Steve’s face, dressed in nothing but sweatpants and a brassiere… X-P And of course, Steve is embarrassed and kind of freaked-out.
