Bucky and Steve load their duffel bags and ride their motorbikes to Avengers compound

Nat and Clint are there already

Nat is leaning against the bus, popping gum and busy on her phone.

Clint is wearing his sunglasses and a sleeveless shirt.

Steve: How's it goin' gang?

Clint: Cap! You're late!

Bucky: I don't see anyone else here.

Nat: *Popping bubble* he means late for cap

Bucky: We were up at five

Clint: Got your lap around central park?

Bucky: *cheekily* 27 times

Clint: *fake gasps* only? You're losing your touch. That's why I just like to *says something related to snipers*

Bucky: Oh! yeah? You a sniper?

Clint: archer. You were a sniper back with Cap, right?

Bucky: yup. I don't think he got the concept of it though. One time I cleared his path and he waved at me! Idiot!

Clint laughs at someone calling THE Captain America an idiot.

Clint: Nat's the same. She just doesn't have the patience! One time, we're infiltrating a warehouse, surrounded by enemy, and she? Just, just went off. Just like that. No concern for personal safety!

Bucky: tell me about it!

Bucky looks towards Nat.

He has a distant flashback of running a mission with Black Widow.

Bucky sighs.

Steve drops his bag in the pile and walks over to Nat

Steve: What's got you glued to the screen?

Nat looks up at Steve: *pops some bubble* What? Forgot your newspaper, gramps?

Steve: 😑

Nat: Nebula was sending me pictures from space. Here. *Forwards pics to Steve*

Steve: *Looks at photos* Nice! I can't believe there's a whole other world out there

There's a whizzing sound and everyone's on alert.

There's golden sparks; then a portal opens

Stephen and Loki step out and portal closes

Stephen: good morning, everyone

Clint: *nodding his head up* Doctor wizard!

Clint: *voice stoic* alien wizard

There's thunder in the clear sky

Thor arrives, bringing Bruce with him

Nat pockets her phone and looks smugly at Steve

Nat: unbelievable

Bruce: hey guys! *excited* I just rode thunder! *catches what he said* like, the, weather thing. Not.. not... *scratches hair*

Clint passes by Bruce and slaps his shoulder with a smirk

Nat: Hey! God of mischief!

Loki: *irritated* What?

* Nat takes off Clint's glasses and tosses them at Loki
Nat: got something for ya!

Nat goes closer to Loki to show him something in her hand, picking up the glasses from the floor

Loki, annoyed with Nat, leaves a decoy and disappears

Nat puts on the glasses and smirks to herself.

She turns around quickly and shoots where she sees the real Loki in the glasses.

Loki: *reveals himself* Ow! What the hell?

Thor: Widow! He may be Loki, but he's no longer a villain. Give him a chance!

Nat: *pops a bubble in Thor's face* That's what I'm doing

Loki: *whining* You SHOT me!

Nat returns Clint's glasses and walks to Loki

Nat: Relax! Like you haven't been through worse

Stephen notices how Loki is affected by Nat's words

Nat: It's a tracker chip. Everything you do, Clint sees. You disappear, Clint sees. You do magic, Clint sees.

Loki: *laughing, picking at the chip already* You think your mortal technology can keep me- aaah!"

Nat: *cooly* Oh! You try to take it out, it's gonna hurt. Be good!

Loki: *grabbing his arm in pain* I don't see you shooting Strange?!

Nat: Strange is a mature, responsible adult. He's a doctor for crying out loud. YOU, are a cunning, crying seventeen year old

Stephen: *shocked* You- you're 17?

Loki: *stammering* I..I AM NOT!

*turns to Nat* I happen to be 1400 years old!

Nat: *catching an opportunity* oops, my bad! He's 14.

Nat laughs with Clint

Clint: *laughing* look at his face! I thought frost giants were supposed to be blue!

Stephen: well, if the average Asgardian lifespan is 5100 and the average human lifespan is 80

Strange: *turns to Loki* how old did you say you were again?

Loki: 1400

Strange mumbles to himself as he does math in his head

Strange: that would make you just over 22!

Loki: *delighted* Ha! I am 22

Clint: good for you! I'm 31

Nat: 29

Bucky: 34

Steve: I'm 32. Well, if you don't count the cryo

Bucky: same

Loki: *embarrassed* well, would you like to contribute?

Stephen: *quietly* I'm 37 years old

Ironman landing by the group.

Tony: *teasing* babies! I'm 40

Clint: welcome back, grandpa. Wanna unlock the bus?

*spidey and MJ arriving*

Tony starts walking to the bus but is knocked down by a thrown bag

Steve reaches out to catch Tony

Everyone looks to see Spiderman land down with a girl

Peter immediately lets MJ go and helps Tony

Peter: Mr. Stark! I'm so sorry! I was aiming for the pile, I guess the trajectory was off! I really wasn't planning on hitting you!

Stephen: *to Loki* guess you're not the youngest anymore.

Steve: you gotta practice on your aim, kid

Bucky raises a brow at Steve holding Tony

Tony lets go of Steve before things get awkward

Clint: who's the girl, spidey?

Peter: *remembering MJ* oh! Everyone! This is MJ! She's in my class. MJ, this is everyone

MJ: *coldly nods her head* 'sup?

Nat: *also coolly* hey

Bucky: *whispering to Clint* I didn't know we could bring a friend?

Clint: you're the friend

Bucky: shut up!

Tony: *unlocks the bus and gets in* alright, roll call!

Peter: *grabbing his and MJ's bags* here

Steve: *grabbing his bag* here

Nat: here

Clint: *grabs his and Nat's bags* here

Bucky: *quietly as he passes Tony* hey

Bruce: here

Thor: I am here as well

Stephen: here

Loki: *sigh* here

Everyone oohs as they enter

The bus is amazing.

The floor is like a really big lounge.

Steve: *standing in the front with Tony* is that everyone?

Nat: where's WandaVision?

Tony: they'll catch up later

Steve: anyone else missing?

Clint: nope!

Tony: alright then. Down here is the lounge. Upstairs is the more private quarters. You can put your stuff in your designated overheads. Code them so you don't get robbed.

MJ: *walking upstairs with Peter* who's gonna rob anyone? You're all adults, aren't you?

Everyone looks at Clint and Loki

Clint buzzes Loki

Loki: ow! What was that for?

Clint: a warning

Loki: you know they were looking at you too

Clint: and now they're only looking at you!

Clint tries to run away but Loki magically brings him back

Nat (also has a screen on Loki) doesn't see malicious intent and lets it pass

Everyone else starts going up.

Another round of oohs goes around.

There are luxurious bus seats that swivel and recline.

Overhead on both sides there are storage cubicles with every avenger's logo. Starting with the O6.

Everyone drops their stuff off and goes back downstairs.

Tony: everybody ready?

Everyone: yes!

Tony: you wanna say it, Cap?

Cap: Avengers? Assemble!
