“ if you’re ever with a guy that’s too good for you, marry him. ” Jason said as he took another swig from his bourbon bottle, feeling sorry for himself.
“What are you talking about, Jay?” She took the bottle away from him for a moment to look at the label. Instead of prying for more information, she decided to joke, hoping he’d just tell her what was wrong.
“You know my dad would kidnap whoever I would want to marry if he were to find out. He’d take them far away and make some elaborate story up.” She took a sip from his bottle and gave it back to him.
Jason let Astoria pick her hand up and examine it, any damage she found would be fixed in ten minutes so it did not bother him. “I couldn’t tell her anything. She barely knew me for who I really am.” Jason said, he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream but he knew getting angry wouldn’t help anything. “I wasn’t a hero to her, I was her weird boyfriend who was always away and never had an excuse why.” He sighed.
Jason shook his head, he didn’t want her to see how strong he was when he was this angry. “I’d be up for a movie or something if you want.” He said softly, knowing Tori was trying as hard as she could, I mean tony stark was her father and he wasn’t the most compassionate person, or empathetic for that.
Jase smiled a little as she said she would marry him. “Thanks Tori but it’ll always be heroics for us, we can’t have abnormal life.” He said with a laugh
Astoria dropped his hand and gave him a quizzical look. “Four years and you never told her?” She tended to forget most of the team’s identities weren’t out in the open. “But, that’s just one part of you. That’s just your job. Surely she knew you. It’s not like your Natasha or Clint who keep to the shadows.”
Standing up, Tori looked down at him, a half smile playing on her lips. “Well, what kind of movie would you like? I don’t know what kind of movies we have, so you choose and I’ll get it set up. I mean, I’m sure JARVIS will be able to get anything for us if you want to watch something specific that we don’t have.”
Shrugging, she laughed lightly. “Heroics isn’t necessarily bad. I think I’d get bored if my life was back to the way it was before all of this. My normal was me staying in my lab by myself all day and night with yelling from Pepper and Starbucks from Happy.” She paused before adding as an afterthought, “More than nowadays.
“Nowadays I have you and the rest of the team to keep me occupied. It’s quite annoying.” she lied. She was rarely annoyed by anyone of them, especially Jason. The last time she was annoyed was when one of her suits went missing; It still hadn’t been found. “It’d be weird to be married. To always have someone there to be annoyed by. I guess it’d be fun to annoy him, though.”
