"You know I never meant to hurt you, my darling." I rolled my eyes at him, being as he's said that 20 times in the course of about 5 hours.

"It's fine, Thor." I told him, resting into his chest. "How about you say sorry for the ass kicking you gave everyone else?" Natasha muttered and Clint agreed as he held a damp cloth to his bloody lip.

"My apologies. Shawarma on me in Midgard?" He suggested, and Tony couldn't wait to say yes. "Hell fucking yeah." He said, placing a bandage on his finger.

"How helpful are you running your mouth? What don't you understand when I say I've got this?" He barked.
