Her Highness (Undergoing Heavy Editing)

Amends

Author's P.O.V.

To say the very least, brunch was quite the interesting hour at the AM. The young asgardian prince kept mostly to himself and even when people tried to engage in a conversation with him, he either gave a cold answer or didn't give an answer at all.

Throughout the meal, Thor had been shooting glares at his brother and passed apologetic looks to the 2 leaders of the team. Loki had not been giving proper responses to the both of them, either.

"Now I know what Tony was talking about.", Wichar commented as they were climbing down the stairs of the Manor to go back to the Avengers Tower.

Ahead of them, Loki, Thor, Natasha and Clint were walking briskly towards the parking, making it clear that they wanted to get back as soon as possible. The archer and the demi god, more so than the others. During the whole meal, they were looking at each other as though one of them will slit the other's throat for sure.

Tony, (Y/n) and Bruce bet on Clint doing that while Wichar, Firoze and Steve bet on Loki. Thor and Natasha didn't partake in this thrilling activity as they were too busy calming both the parties down.

Even though they had taken part in that jovial bet, (Y/n) and Steve were worried about the team.

"Did we make a mistake by agreeing to add him?", (Y/n) asked the blonde walking beside her.

"It's too late to think about that, (Y/n). All we can do is hope that he will change. For the better, of course." The other laughed at the last sentence spoken by the soldier while he flashed her a smile.

"Don't worry. I will show him to his room once we get back, because by the looks of it, you might land a punch on Loki if he speaks too much.", She offered. Steve glared at her playfully.

"How can I ever thank you?", He asked expressing his gratitude. The crown princess being the person she is, pounced on the opportunity.

"Well, they do say you make the best coffee known to man." The soldier laughed at his best friend's price demand.

"Alright then. When and where?", He asked.

"About 6:30. In my lounge. And yes, I forgot to tell you Clint, along with Nat are going outside to get the groceries in the evening and I think Thor is going to visit his girlfriend or something. So, it will be just you, Tony, Bruce, Loki and I in the tower tonight.", She informed.

"I don't have a problem but just tell them to be back before 11 because we lock the facility then.", He said.

"I already did.", She replied.

"And that's why we make a rad leading duo." (Y/n) cringed at Steve's use of vocabulary.

"Steve, if you care about the civilization please, don't ever say that again.", She requested. They laughed and took their seats inside the limo.

Through the entire ride, nobody uttered a single word. Even the ever boisterous god of thunder had a silencing spell on him. The slight humming of the engine filled in the silence and soothed (Y/n)'s nerves.

The only words spoken, were when they arrived at the Tower.

"Sirs, madams, we have have arrived.", Philip informed cautiously. This seemed to lift the silencing spell from the crew and (Y/n) was the first to speak.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Philip. Take the rest of the day off.", She permitted as the others alighted from the car. Her driver shot her a bewildered look.

"But ma'am it's only 2'o clock. I don't get off till 6.", He said slowly. She nodded.

"I understand that, my man but it would be barbaric of me to make you all work in such scorching heat. In fact you know what, I have a stack of cold drinks lying in my fridge. I will have it sent down so that you can go and enjoy it back at home, what say?" The employee was taken aback by his employer's generosity which he had only heard of, but never experienced. The middle aged man turned back to look at the crown princess with grateful eyes.
