JANUARY 2010 LYRA STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ICE RINK, looking to her coach lyra sighed trying not to get angry.

"again!" her teacher shouted at her.

nodding lyra skated to the middle of the rink and got into position feeling everyone's eyes trained on her, soon music began to play and lyra began to skate gracefully before soon she began to spin.

"now get ready for the jump!" her teacher shouted "triple flip double toe!"

lyra stopped spinning and started skating again getting ready for her jump, yet as she went to jump she heard people laughing which made her fall to the ice.

looking to the corner of the rink behind her she saw a girl with raven hair laughing next to one of the boys.

"i'm sorry." lyra said pushing herself off the ice and onto her feet "if you let me try again, i promise i can do it this time."

watching as her coach shook her head at her lyra felt as though she was about to cry as she watched the old lady wrote something down in her notepad.

"just leave!" she said angrily.

not knowing what to say lyra skated towards the edge of the rink taking her brunette hair out of its ponytail as she felt herself crying.

"guess her billionaire daddy can't buy her skating skills." the raven haired girl snickered.

—

staring at her hands lyra couldn't bear to look up at everyone who was around the table.

"so you're the one who scared the life out of my brother." a voice boomed sitting next to lyra.

lyra felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked to her left making eye contact with a tall god like looking blonde.

"well done." he told her with a smile "i'm thor, god of thunder."

"and she's going." tony spoke from the head of the table before he looked to nick who was at the opposite end of the table  "i told you i never wanted her involved in this avengers crap fury, you know what happened last time she lost her temper!

lyra watched as tony stared at nick furiously and she made eye contacts with steve who was opposite her, steve sent her a sympathetic look and she looked back down at her hands.

"ignore him." thor whispered to lyra smiling "i'm proud of you, my brother needed to be put in his place especially by a girl."

she couldn't help but smile looking up at thor who put his arm around her, lyra couldn't help but smile and let out a little giggle when she looked at thor.

"did i really scare him?" lyra asked quietly and thor nodded.

"apparently he was trembling." thor replied quietly.

steve watched as lyra and thor laughed together quietly, he couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of how the two seems to be getting along.

"she's going home nick!" tony said before looking to lyra "get your bag lyra, it's home time!"

looking away from thor lyra stared at tony confused before she let out a laugh shaking her head.

"are you fucking serious?" she asked with a laugh and steve winced when he heard her swear "i'm not going home, you can't be serious."

"i am very serious lyra." tony said and lyra just shook her head.

"i don't think she should leave." thor spoke loudly and lyra smiled at him "she's been the only to scare my brother."
