So I actually kinda blanked once I'd made it full circle.

But a bit of a kick from watching Mad Max: Fury Road made me feel like writing again, however since that fic is nowhere near done, I'll just give ye this filler chapter to keep ye going.

I'm thinking of continuing (slowly) with this fic and work right up to the next Avengers movie.

Don't own anything.


They continued to stare at him.

"Uh, guys?" Peter said, he turns towards Steve and Bruce for help. Bruce isn't even bothering to hide the amused grin on his face and Steve is still looking at Tony disapprovingly for his language.

"Since most of you are already familiar with Mr. Parker besides Thor, I'll leave you to get re-acquainted. We'll be in touch." Fury said, Steve, Clint and Natasha all nodded back. Fury then turned headed back towards the elevator and left. Peter followed his movements as the staring and slack-jawed looks from both Clint and Tony were starting to creep him out.

Thankfully Thor's voice breaks the silence.

"Why is everyone so quiet? Did the man of Fury not say you all knew him, why do you not greet the Spider-man?"

"Looks like you're full of surprises." Natasha says giving him a small smile.

"Really Pete, Spider-man? Ha! I knew, no ordinary civilian could take me out, you so owe me a rematch, welcome to the team kid." Clint said, patting him on the shoulder. Peter grinned at the acceptance; everyone else welcomed him as well, everyone except Tony. Peter's grin faded when he noticed this.

"Tony" " Peter started tentatively, seeing the slightly confused look on Tony's face.

"It was you, all those times, when we joked about superheroes and liking red. You were really just admiring yourself. How did I not see this? ...But out of everyone else, I'm still the coolest right?" Tony asked.

Peter let out a sigh of relief.

"Yeah Tony, you're still my idol." He laughed.

Now that everyone was in a better mood. Peter decided to move onto a safe easy topic.

"So, anyone hungry?"

"Yes, I am. Does anyone know where I could find a 'die-ner', Lady Jane brought me to one when I first arrived. We had this glorious nectar; I would very much like to try it again."

"Oh, can we go to Sanchez's? I haven't been since I got back and I'd kill for a coffee"

"Coffee! That is what Lady Jane called the drink." Thor said, happy to know the name of the drink.

"Sure, Sanchez's sounds good. I'm buying, I still owe you for all your help with Harry."

"Wait, did you say Harry? As in the Osborn kid?" Tony asked sharply.

Both Peter and Bruce nodded, not getting where Tony was going with this.

"Are you serious! Not just one but TWO of my science bro.s have betrayed me. If you're going to be hanging around him more, I'm going to have to start carrying disinfectant spray. "Tony said pouting. Peter just rolled his eyes in amusement at Tony's antics.

"Everyone else coming?"


"Best coffee ever, I can't believe you never told me about this place, Peter. We are so coming back here. Hey when we're not off saving the world, we should totally all come here again." Tony mentioned absent-mindedly, taking a look around the quaint cafe.

Peter had just set down the four drinks. Two cappuccinos for Bruce and Steve, one latte for himself and a caramel macchiato with two shots of espresso for Clint. Peter watched as they all took a sip of their drinks. Bruce and Steve seemed content with their choice. Clint had taken one gulp of his coffee, then another, then another before out-right declaring his love for the coffee and the cafe. Everyone else was giving the man strange looks, but Peter and Bruce knew the affects that coffee at Sanchez's had on people.

" Ok, have you guys decided yet?" Peter asked, question aimed at Tony, Natasha and Thor. Tony and Natasha nodded; Peter took their orders then faced Thor. "How about you, big guy?"

"I am ...slightly concerned about Agent Barton, he seems to have become possessed, by his drink. Is this normal?" Thor asked, he was still watching Clint.

"Sort of. He's not possessed. He's just had a lot of caffeine." Steve tries to explain. If the twenty-first century was confusing for him, he could only wonder how confused an alien god must feel.

"Yeah, the caffeine is giving him a...false energy. He'll calm down once it wears off." Bruce piped in. Steve shot the man a grateful glance.

"False energy? We do not have such a thing on Asgard. I am intrigued. I would like to try this false energy."

"Uh, ok, luckily you're in the right place. I'll get you a drinks menu and you can decide." Peter said as he leaned back in his chair, just enough to reach the table behind them and steal a menu. "Ok, big guy, what one's have you tried before? Then we can work from there."

"Lady Jane and Dr. Selvig offered regular coffee, but the Lady Darcy introduced me to the espresso. That one was very delicious. Could I get one of those?"

"Sure, I'll be right back."

Peter returned several minutes later with their drinks. He passed Natasha her vienna coffee and Tony his chai latte. He'd decided to get a double espresso for Thor. He watched as the man took a drink.

"This is delicious, even better than I remember. But I still do not feel the false energy. How do I get it?"

"Well, normally that would be enough for a normal person. I'll see if I can get you something a little stronger." Peter said before heading back to the counter. He approached the lady at the register, giving her a sheepish smile.

"Hey Soph, back again. I've got a friend who'd like to try your strongest coffee, he's looking for a good coffee buzz, espresso does nothing for him. Any ideas?"

"Got just the thing." She replied with a large grin.

"Great, whatever it is, could you double all the measurements? Oh, is fifteen enough to cover it?"

"Can do and yeah that'll cover it, thanks for the tip you're so good to me. Want me to drop it down when ready?"

"That'd be Soph." Peter said, putting the money down and throwing a grateful smile at the woman.

Peter returned to the table, dropping into his seat. He reached for his latte and had just taken a large sip when he felt someone looking at him. He lifted his eyes and met Tony's.

"I saw that. So what's her name?" Tony asked, a cheshire grin on his face.

"Uhh who, the barrista? That's Sophie, she works here. Stop looking at me like that, we're just friends, Bruce knows her too!" Peter exclaimed trying not to blush at the lecherous grin on Tony's face and the implications behind it.

"Hey, don't drag me into this!" Bruce said, a smile on his lips, he was obviously enjoying Tony teasing Peter.

Peter looked at Bruce betrayed. He continued to ignore Tony's smirking face until Sophie arrived with Thor's new coffee.

"Here you are Pete, enjoy." She did nothing to hide her toothy grin, Peter almost gulped at the sight of it. 'What had he just done? 'She walked back to the counter, a large grin still on her face.

"Here's your new coffee ,Thor." Peter said slightly apprehensively, as he placed it in front of the man.

They all watched at Thor took a gulp.

They watched as he swallowed.

They waited... and nothing.

"Well that was a let down." Tony muttered.


"Ok, from now on, the next time that barrista ever walks away smirking, we all know that something bad is going to happen. Agreed?" Clint asked, everyone nodded.

Peter had already tried to apologise to Sophie twice for Thor's actions.

It turned out the coffee had worked. Trouble was it worked a little to well. A minute after the first gulp, the caffeine had taken affect and it seemed like it hit all at once. Thor's voice boomed when he spoke, easily breaking through the quieter conversations happening at the table.

"I think the magic drink is working! I feel full of life, like I could battle a hundred Gol'varns with ease. I would love to do battle right now, does anyone accept my request?"

Heads had whipped around when he started speaking, both at their table and at others. They all tried to 'shush' the man as he continued.

"Thor you need to speak a little quieter." Steve said, aiming apologetic smiles at the other people in the cafe.

"Yeah big guy, ever heard of an indoor voice?" Tony quipped.

"Quieter? But I am not being loud. Why has no one has answered, who would like to test their skills against me?"

"Uh, how about we leave, head back to the tower and then we can sort this fighting thing there. How's that sound?" Peter said trying to solve the problem quickly.

"That sounds reasonable. I am interested to see how you fight, most of our warriors are not so young, but you have proven yourself. Let us make haste back to the tower." Thor said, standing abruptly. The others stood up as well and started to exit the cafe. Peter and Steve stayed until last to apologise to Sophie and the other customers that they'd disturbed.


They made it back to the tower in record time, which was amazing considering they were trying to keep a hyper Thor focused. He almost wandered off several times distracted by silly things but any mention of a fight would catch his attention again.

They changed and met in the had it strangely stocked with a variety of both male and female workout gear. They decided that no weapons would be allowed, in order to keep the remaining building standing. They were treating the fights slightly similar to a boxing match, with four sets of five minutes. Natasha offered to be referee and would count any hits that would be considered an injury or kill as a point, first one to ten wins.

Bruce refused to fight at all and without weapons Tony decided it wouldn't be worth his while. more like he'd have no chance, but anyways..

Tony suggested they fight in order of age, oldest to youngest. Thor would be facing off against Steve first.

They were both well matched, point for point, their advance strength and speed on par. However Thor's years or experience allowed him to just about get the edge over final score 10-9 to Thor.

Thor/He fought Clint next. The match lasted only 12 minutes. Clint's smaller stature allowed him to get a few hits in but the man had always been more of a long range fighter so wasn't completely surprised when Thor beat him,10-5.

Next was Natasha .she'd switched with Clint. Normally the difference in height and weight would make anyone think that this would be an easy match, however close-combat had always been Natasha's specialty. The fight was over in seven minutes, 10-7 to Natasha.

Thor lay there surprised and blinked several times before sitting up. He then burst out laughing.

"Very well played, Lady Natasha. You would make a fine Asgardian warrior. You are just as fierce as the Lady Sif." Natasha smiled at the compliment and walked out of the ring confidently.

"Looks like you're up, Pete." Clint said, a grin on his face. He clapped Peter on the shoulder as Peter hopped into the ring. Peter got the strange feeling that Clint would enjoy watching him get thrown around.

Peter gulped as he took in Thor's form. 'Had the man always been that tall?'

"Finally young Peter, it is your turn." Thor said, he looked amused at the looks Peter was sending him.

They circled each other. Peter trying to think of a plan were he didn't get his ass completely handed to him. Maybe if he did it like Natasha and got close, maybe he'd stand a chance. With no better plan he went with that. He lunged.


Peter managed to dodge another punch from was starting to get desperate with hi movements, the score was already 8-3 in Thor's favour. Peter deflected a kick sent his way and reflexively went to spray the larger man in a covering of webbing as a distraction, the end result was not what he was expecting.

He could feel everyone's eyes on him, all of them giving him weird looks. Hell he himself was having a hard time trying to believe what he was seeing. There was some sort of white string coming from his wrist, that looked eerily similar to his bio-cable webbing.

"Mother of God, please tell me that isn't..." Peter said giving the webbing a disgusted look. "Get it off, get it off!" Peter chanted frantically, trying to dislodge the white string without touching it. He eventually had to pull it from his wrist and quickly flung it to the ground a distance away.

"What is that? I thought we were using no form of weapons?" Thor says, looking slightly annoyed.

"Is that..." Bruce begins to say, awe evident on his face as he walks towards the ring.

"I think it is, my science loving friend." Tony said, in excitement, coming to join him.

"Did you just produce your own web shooter? How is that even possible?" Steve asked Peter, slightly perplexed.

"Nope, not me, didn't do it. Must've been some other spider-hybrid." Peter replied, trying to look anywhere but at the webbing that Bruce and Tony are poking at. His eye's flash past the forms of Clint and Natasha who are just standing there watching everything.

"You seriously just produced your own webbing! This is pretty damn cool." Tony says, glancing up towards Peter before starting to rifle through his pockets..

"I wonder what the tensile strength of it is? How similar it is to the bio-cable? OH, how long does it take to decomposes?" Bruce looks about to pass out from all the possibilities. He turns towards Tony, who has used a pen to pick up the web-string and they begin to hurriedly walk towards the door. Peter can hear Tony mutter to Bruce about 'JARVIS', 'sample' and 'analyze'.

"..Ok, that was weird." Clint says. They'd all watched the hyped up duo leave.

Steve walked forward and challenged Thor to another match. Natasha and Clint lead Peter to another section of the gym.

"We'll check your aim and reflex's first. Then go from there." She ordered. Peter complies easily with each instruction given, grateful for the distraction.

"Hey, does this make you even more of a spider-man?" Clint ponders. "You know, Natasha's code name is BlackWidow. Since you're on the team does that make her the mother spider? You'd be like a spider family, Hey, I could so be the daddy spider. I'd be the coolest dad spider ever."

Peter smiles slightly at Clint's prattling.

"Well, he'll need more training, he's not bad, but if he's part of this family he's gonna need all the help he can get." Natasha says, coming forward to stand near Clint..
