any, any, Seeing 'the one who got away' during a high school reunion

So I am apparently not capable of writing comment-sized fic. *cough*
This got away from me in an astounding way, but I hope it’s still entertaining. It’s flufftastic, because I’ve seen Grosse Pointe Blank and Romy & Michelle’s way too many times, and it very solidly Jane/Thor, but some Avengers team-as-family snuck in there too. Thor 2 spoilers ahoy!

Jane Foster's High School Reunion (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1166823)

Excerpt:

“You show up and engage in the pointless act of assigning one another to an adult life category. The One Who Got Rich, the One Who Became a Teacher, the One Who Became a Starving Artist in a Beach Community, the One Who Had Five Kids, the One Who Had Crazy Adventures.”

Titles were right up Thor’s alley, so he was immediately interested. “And what would be your title?”

Jane considered that, and said, “The One Who Got Too Many PhDs.”

Wow! That was fantastic! <3 <3 <3 Thank you so much for writing this! <3 <3 <3

There was so much to love, that it's hard to even know where to begin! I hope my squee isn't too incoherent... ^^;;

I adore your Jane voice. She's intelligent and fierce, yet has a vulnerability that makes her well-rounded and believable as a character.

I loved all the details around the OCs you created! I normally find OCs to be a distraction, but yours really created a rich world for Thor and Jane.

Finally, I loved all the bits of humor you added.

ETA: Oh! I forgot to mention... I loved the nod to women in science. I was a science major myself in college and I work in technology now, so i especially enjoyed those details. :)

Really terrific! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! :D I was worried about the OCs, but I needed some to fill things out--it's not a high school reunion without the people you went with, after all--so I'm super glad to hear they weren't a distraction.

Agents of SHIELD, Fitz, Ward finds out that Fitz has been getting threatening messages on his public high school's social site from someone who used to torment the 12-year-old prodigy--and Ward's big-brother radar goes up

(bonus if Fitz sneaks off to attend the reunion and Ward, or the whole team, has to go after him)

"Holy shit, look at that!" Mark hisses, pushing at Lizzie's shoulder. Titus follows his gaze, nearly falling off Lizzie's head; Zara is still crouched between Mark's legs, ignoring everything because she didn't want to come to the reunion anyway.

"No way," Lizzie breathes. "Is that...?"

Mark can't think of a thing to say. Zara heaves a heavy sigh and then begins climbing up Mark's leg. "Hey!" he yelps, reaching down to grab her and then quickly depositing her on his shoulder.

"Oh," Zara says when she's high enough to see. "Huh."

.

Of course Mark remembers her. Everyone from their class does. She was the only one who graduated with them whose daemon hadn't settled yet. Some days, the daemon (whose name she never uttered that anyone Mark knew heard) was a platypus; others, a tiger.

No one hassled her; no, it was all jeers behind her back. Comments she pretended she didn't hear.

She was a quiet girl. Pretty, in a plain sort of way. She wore the same uniform as the rest of them, and tattered shoes. She transferred in junior year with hair shorn close and she let it grow. Never brushed it, that Mark could tell, though Lizzie (of course) had a better eye for that sort of thing.

Zara settled when Mark was thirteen, after Mom passed. Titus settled a few months later, not long after Lizzie turned twelve. Mark was sixteen, the first time Titus let him stroke along the spine on his head. That same night, Zara butted up against Lizzie's chin.

By junior year, most everyone was settled. The new girl wasn't.

(What was her name? Mark can't remember. They called her a lot of things.)

.

“What is it?” Titus asks.

“I don’t know,” Lizzie answers. She’s a biologist and works at the local zoo, so that’s a little… odd. “A kind of ostrich, maybe? Emu?”

“That’s not an ostrich, don’t be silly,” Zara says, claws digging through Mark’s shirt and into his skin.

It’s… an enormous bird, stalking behind her, eying them all like they’re prey. Like it remembers everything they said. The fear in Mark’s gut is stupid because it’s not like they really did anything bad. No one ever hurt her.

The daemon had never spoken, not that Mark or any of his friends heard. She’d only spoken when called on in class, which was rare. She didn’t interact, just handed stuff in, shuffled from class to class, ate by herself. A year and a half, and no one ever learned the daemon’s name. it ignored the daemons just like she ignored the humans.

“Satisfied, Clara?” the daemon asks, focusing those laser eyes on his human. His voice is deep, thudding somewhere in Mark’s sternum.

“I suppose, Valan,” she sighs. “Don’t know why I bothered coming, anyway. God, I hated high school.” She turns on her heel, the bird neatly sliding to the side, and then they both leave, heads held high.

“Well, okay then,” Mark mutters.

“Hey, is that Uriko?” Titus says, standing up tall on Lizzie’s head. “Uriko! Hey!”

Zara sighs disgustedly and begins climbing down Mark’s back.
