Hello, everyone! I’m so grateful for all of your amazing comments! I’m amazed by how much everyone likes this. And it’s good to know that you’re liking the cliffhangers too…
New? Check out past episodes.
Why did guys always have to be so difficult? Natasha growled and tightened her ponytail band. She hated wearing her hair up, but on this dumb island, it was practically necessary.
“But how are we going to eat?” Tony protested. Loki stood to the side, trying to look superior but not able to hide his own concern. “It there’s no food, we’ll – we’ll die!”
Natasha huffed. “I didn’t say there wasn’t any food. I said that I couldn’t find anything. No fish, no birds, no animals.”
“And how is that different?” Tony asked, crossing his arms.
Natasha put her hands on her hips. “Because, genius, there are other things to eat besides meat.” She waved towards the forest. “There’s always plants and things.”
Tony made a face. “Not my food of choice, but if that’s all there is, then let’s get started.” He began to walk towards the forest.
“Good,” Natasha said drily. “Let us know if you find anything poisonous.”
Tony stopped and retraced his steps. “So… maybe not. But can’t we try to find something we recognize?”
Natasha shrugged. “I went through a lot of the surrounding area, but I didn’t see a single plant that looked familiar. Not a single plant. You’d think there would at least be a palm tree or something… but nothing.”
Tony shivered, rubbing his arms. “This is really weird. I don’t like it.”
“You don’t have to like it,” Natasha pointed out. “You just have to deal with it.”
“There’s magic at play here.” Loki’s voice was low. They both turned to him. He waved his hand dismissively. “No, my magic has not come back. I’m just using common sense.”
Tony glared at him. “Are you saying we don’t have common sense?”
Loki tilted his head and gave a small smile. “It does seem to be greatly lacking.”
Tony clenched his fists and stepped up to the Asgardian. “I swear, I–”
Natasha growled and stepped in between them. They were worse than Maximus and Flynn Rider. And she was Rapunzel, trying to keep them from killing each other. Except she certainly was not as patient, naïve, or cheerful. And she hated dresses. “Why don’t you two go look through the forest and see if there’s anything you recognize. Maybe there’s an Asgardian plant or something. Just don’t kill each other or anything.”
The two grumbled their way into the forest, and Natasha closed her eyes and tilted her head back, inhaling deeply. The salty ocean scent smelled pretty good. The only noise was the lapping of the water on the beach. Silence at last. Who knew being on a deserted island could actually be peaceful?
She did a few little things, like gathering more twigs for firewood and – she couldn’t help herself – making a tiny sandcastle. She sighed. Hawkeye would’ve made a sand tower next to her castle. She couldn’t help but wonder if he was okay.
A foot appeared out of nowhere, smushing her sandcastle unknowingly. Natasha leapt to her feet. Loki was fighting back a frown, trying to keep his face neutral. He held Tony in his arms, but set him down in front of Natasha.
The billionaire didn’t move.
A like gets you a hug from Thor, a comment gets you a group hug from all of the Avengers. (Harsh comments get you a “hug” from the Hulk…)
I just love what you do with this!
Hooked isn’t the word! lol
Can’t wait for more!

Oh great. And just when I thought I couldn’t be more worried about what would happen to them.
Did Bucky make the rounds to their camp? Or did Tony eat something poisonous?
I just hope I can stand it till next week… *tries not to explode*

After the bellows in his mouth, I’m not sure if something deep would come out to show what a good guy he actually is, or if it would be some snarky comment.

THAT ENDING. I mean, I expected a cliff-hanger, but still. 0.o I love Natasha’s voice, too, like when she was comparing herself to Rapunzel: “And she hated dresses”. And when she thought that Hawkeye would’ve built a tower by her sandcastle … ❤

If the interruption wasn’t so important, Loki would have a black eye right now… but he’ll probably get it later. 😉
