Chapter One
S. H. I. E. L. D: Not your Nanny's Strip Club
Steve was glad the building was dimly lit as he followed Sam, Natasha, and Thor under the glowing neo sign and onto the main floor in search of a table close to the stage. Some how he had gotten dragged along on this ridiculous 'adventure'. . .
"Come on Steve loosen up." Sam said giving Steve a pat on the back. "It's only a strip club."
Steve's blush deepened.
"Careful there Sam." Natasha said mischeviously, "Steve could actually turn into a tomatoe and then this will have all been for nothing."
"Not nothing my friends." Thor rumbled, "For I at least shall be enjoying myself."
Sam chuckled, "We can always count on you to enjoy yourself Thor, that's not the point."
"Yeah," Natasha picked up. "The point is to get Steve to enjoy himself."
Steve groaned, "Look, I let you guys actually drag me to this place, can we just leave it alone for a minute?"
"Yes, It has been upon my thoughts since you agreed Steve, What made you finally surrender?" Thor asked as they finally found a good table.
Steve didn't know how to answer that, because truthfully he didn't know what had made him actually give in to his three friends. He'd always declined outings like this, mostly because they were usually orchestrated by his friends to get him laid.
And he was kind of getting sick of it. especially as he wasn't the virgin they assumed he was. he'd just never had sex with a woman. . . So he didn't think it counted. . . Or something.
The truth was he was still, after ten years of knowing who he was, ashamed that he liked guys.
"Alright Steve, take this." Natasha said, handing Steve two fifties.
"What's this for?" Steve asked puzzeled.
"Tipping." Thor said, his eyes already glued to the still empty stage.
"Yeah," Sam said as he waved over a waiter to order some drinks. "You see someone you like and they come over you slip them one, or both, of those and they'll come see you after the show."
Steve scowled and threw the money on the table. "See, I knew it."
Sam, Nat and Thor all turned to look at him and he sighed. He'd had enough of this, it was time they knew so they would get off his case. "Look guys, I'm not a virgin okay? I just don't like girls."
Three mouths collectively dropped.
"Woah!" Sam exclaimed.
Natashe just looked mildly surprised and Thor simply replied "I never thought you would actually say it aloud my friend." As he patted Steve on the back.
"Yeah me neither. We were planning to get one of the performers to get you out of your comfort zone. But now that you're 'out' this will be way more fun." Natasha said.
Steve looked at his friends in shock. "You knew?"
Sam chuckled, "Dude, of course we knew. You didn't notice this is a gay strip club?" He asked. "Why do you think Thor is so hyper?"
Steve look to Thor who, to his surprise, blushed. "I am a . . . fan, of one of the performers." Thor said sheepishly.
Steve's breath finally steady as he surveyed his friends, "So, um . . . How does this work anyway?"
Sam and Nat broke into smiles as they explained a bit about the show with out giving away too much.
They had just finished explaining to Steve when the first few bars of Ke$ha's 'Take It Of' came across the speakers.
A Large black man stepped out onto the stage in a long black coat that was open to reveal his skimpy attire underneath, The man wore a pair of black booty shorts that hugged him just right and a pair of glittery suspenders that twinkled in the stage lights. He had a face that would have been more at home on one of the bouncer's, complete with scars and an eye patch.
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen," The man began. "My Name is Director Fury, And I will be your Ring Master for Tonight here at Shield Cirus."
Steve was having a hard time wrapping his head around the very image of this man and so almost missed the end of his speech.
"You will soon wittness the most tantalizing, extraordinary, and down right sexiest performance you are ever likely to see. So sit back and enjoy yourselves." Fury said as he slipped back into the shadows.
There was a moment of light clapping as music started. "First on the stage tonight." said Fury over the speakers. "Is S.h.i.e.l.d's very own Prince of Asgard, Loki is a renoun contortionist and magician."
"This is the guy Thor comes for." Natasha whispered in Steve's ear.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and smoke from the stage.
When the smoke cleared a thin, tall man with long black hair and a green costume stood in the center of the stage.
"Good evening My subjects." Loki purred.
Steve saw Thor draw a breath to his right.
"Now it is usually my custom to make you all kneel or clap you in chains as my personal slaves, but as I must earn my living some how, it is I who will be chained." Loki snapped his fingers and a man in purple asended the stage carrying an armload of chains.
Steve watched as the dark Prince was draped in chains that were then padlocked shut.
"And now Ladies and especially Gentlemen." To Steve's surprise the last bit of that seemed to be directed at Thor. Loki even winked at the bigger Blond, who surprisingly turned a light shade of pink.
Steve was surprised, did Thor come here so often that the performer knew him?
Loki continued, "Of course none of this would be any fun if there weren't stakes." The purple man came from backstage pulling a rope with a hook on the end that was connected to the rigging above their heads. He slipped it into the chains and stepped back. "This line will continue to raise me up for five minutes. At the end of that time it will go slack. There is a second line located in the rafters. If I cannot get free by that time. . . " Loki paused for effect. "Well let us hope that does not happen." With that the act began.
Over the next five minutes Steve found himself holding his bretah almost continually. Because not only did Loki have to wiggle free, he also had make sure he didn't just slip out of the chains and fall to his death.
At one point He and Sam had to hold Thor back when the Prince almost slipped.
"Calm down Buddy." Steve whispered to Thor. Who had not taken his eyes off of Loki since the five minutes began. "It's just an act, even if he falls I'm sure they'll have someone catch him."
"You do not know that." Thor whispered back, but he sat back down.
Luckily though, Loki got out of the chains without slipping just in time and then the part of the act that most of the people in the club had been waiting for began.
Still in the air, though now on an aerialist's rope (a line resembling a flowy scarf.) Loki began to slowly remove each artical of his clothing. At one point even hanging upside down with only a single foot wrapped in the line. Soon the prince was down to just a sparkly green thong.
Loki began to swing back and forth till he was flying over their heads in great arches. During one arch Thor reached up and, with the softest touch so as not to disturb Loki's flight, slipped a bill into Loki's thong (Let you decide where).
Steve watched the Prince with quiet awe. The striptease wasn't enough to turn him on, the guy wasn't his type and way, too tall for him. He prefered shorter guys, with nice asses, Loki's was okay, but not quite what he was looking for.
Steve shook his head to clear it as Loki's act wound down.
He wasn't looking for anything, it was against his entire code to have sex with some one from a place like this. He did not want a one night stand, that would never work for him. Sure he would have sex on first date but only if he knew for certain the relationship would go somewhere.
Steve had been to wrapped up in his thoughts to notice something was happening on the stage, and so was taken completely by surprise when an explosion of green smoke lit the stage.
"Good evening, Ladies, and Gentlemen." A Voice said from the smoke. It soon cleared and revealed a man in a plain black tux. Nothing seemed remarkable about him at all, Steve was seriously confused.
"My name is The Incredible Hulk."
Steve raised an eyebrow.
"Now I know what you're all thinking. 'This guy couldn't be farther from a hulk of anything if he tried.' But I caution you ladies and gentlemen. Not all is as it seems." And with that the man disappeared in a flash of purple smoke, only to be replaced with a Huge man with green tinted skin and a purple speedo.
Steve sat up. Now that was impressive.
"Not everything is as it seems." The huge man said in a gravely voice." Another flash of smoke and the first man stood there in the speedo. "You see, you think you're watching an act."
Suddenly the spot light shot to the other side of the stage. Where the man had some how appeared. "But actually I'm just here to lull you into a false sense of security." The man said, slipping back into his suit jacket. "Because the real act."
"Is about to begin." Another voice that for some reason sent shiver's down Steve's spine came over the speakers as a loud rock song came on. Lasers and mini fireworks lit the stage, the whole club exploded in an array of light and color. Steve was taken completely by surprise, as were about half of the club's population.
Suddenly a large metal egg rose from the center of the stage. and out stepped the owner of the voice.
"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I, am Iron Man. How are all you beautiful people doing tonight?" The man said into the sparlkly red mic he was thrown.
A chorus of 'good' and cat calls followed this.
"Good good, So, you guys want to do something fun?" The guy asked, again met with a positive response. "Alright! Let's do something crazy. Let's teach one of you suckers to do what I do." A loud cheer rose from the crowd and Steve saw Nat's face light up like a kid at christmas.
'Oh shit.' Steve thought. He knew what was coming next.
Sure enough Sam and Nat both dragged his protesting frame to the stage and practically threw him on it. Steve tried to look to Thor for help but discovered the other blond was gone.
'Well their service is certainly fast.' Thought Steve as he was dragged away.
When he landed face first in the stage he contemplated playing dead and hoped the very hot guy in the red and gold booty shorts would just kick him off the stage. But instead he was helped to his feet and lead over to the other man.
"Well well, a Blushing vollunteer, how quaint. Alright Blondey, let's see what we can do with you. . . " The man walked around him surveying his frame.
"Hm. . . Nice butt, that's always great in a stripper, I can tell you work out. I'm guessing there are abs under here." The man ran his hands suggestively over Steve's stomach. "And I can tell without touching you've got quite the package. But I'll touch anyway." The man said with a mischevious smirk as he groped a very unprepared Steve who yelped and then moaned.
"Ooo, responsive, you don't get many of those anymore." The man raised his eyebrow at the crowd who gave a collective chuckle.
Steve was just standing there as red as a tomatoe, cursing his friends in his head a thousand times.
"Alright, so we know what we've got to deal with, so let's get to it." The man handed the mic to a waiting stage hand. Taking the headset he was offered and slipping it on.
Before he turned it on he whispered to Steve. "Hey look, I know you're nervous but don't worry. Even if anyone you know is here What happens here will never be mentioned outside of these walls. trust me."
Steve nodded. He was surprised at the man's kindness.
"Alright," The man said with a smile, "Let's get started."
The 'lesson' went fairly smoothly as things go. after a bit Steve was to busy trying not to get a huge boner to care he was in front of an audience. Half way through the Man teaching Steve how to properly roll his hips the man changed pace and began pulling Steve in close and sliding down his leg. Steve shuddered and gulped as the Man's face came level with his crotch.
"See Ladies and Gentlemen, The true trick to Stripping is to be okay with getting one of these." With that he bit at Steve's cock through his pants.
Steve couldn't help the whine that escaped his lips and was simply thankful he wasn't wearing a mic.
Part of him wanted to push the other man away as he continued to nip at him through his clothing, the other part of him was feeling way too good.
Steve was pretty sure if this kept up he was going to cum. . .
Luckily, once the man was sure Steve was good and hard he shimmied back up Steve's strong frame.
"Now let's try this again." The man said with a snap of his fingers.
Slow sexy jazz poured out of the speakers as the man began to undress Steve. The crowd whooped when his shirt finally came off to reveal a toned, tanned chest and a set of wash board abs.
"See, what did I tell you?" The man said to the crowd, who let out a cheer. Steve blushed darkly.
"And look, he's even gone red for me. Wonder what else is red?" He said with a suggestive wink.
Steve looked at the other man as he began to undo his pants. He was surprised to see in his eyes a silent apology. The whoops of approval and laughter that followed the unveiling of Steve's stars-and-stripes boxers almost made Steve himself chuckle. He knew he should've just gone with the plain black ones.
"Well well, mighty patriotic aren't we." The man said with a grin.
Steve just cast his eyes down, it's not realy possible to blush when your face is already red.
"Well, now that I've gotten you full disrobed, well almost. I will let you go." The man said taking a step back.
The crowd let out a loud boo at this, but when a row of trannies marched onto the stage Steve and the man were forgotten.
Steve was led back stage and given a room to change back into his clothes. He changed quickly and was about to go back out to his friends when he caught sight of 'Iron Man' still in his costume, chatting with a performer Steve hadn't seen before and that guy in the purple who had been part of Loki's act. Steve looked at the man, the smooth slope of his ass and the way he stood, the goatee that for some reason attracted him even though he'd never had a thing for facial hair. And that smile. . . Steve could tell it wasn't real, and he really wanted to see the real one. So he squared his shoulders and marched over there, prepared to try his luck.
The man looked up as Steve approuched and surprise lit in his eyes. "Oh, hello again." He said slowly.
"Um,When your show is over would you like to go get dinner with me?" Steve said in a single breath.
The man raised an eyebrow, as did his companions. They all shared a look and Steve could tell they were trying to figure him out. He knew how these people were used to being treated, but he could never possibly bring himself to treat anyone that way.
The man finally nodded slowly, "Ah, sure. I get off in about 45 minutes. . . If you want to wait till then."
Steve's face lit up, "Sure!" He said happily, "Where should I meet you?"
The man surveyed him again. "Just come backstage again and tell them Tony is waiting for you. Someone will lead you to my dressing room."
Steve smiled again, "Alright, I'll see you after the show then. Oh, and my name's Steve by the way." He said as he gave a wave and walked back out to rejoin his friends.
I apologize to those of you who don't like Thorki, I know it's just some mentions but sorry anyway. I, however, enjoy their pairing. It was actually my first ever avengers pairing. Before I even knew who Steve and Tony were I was reading Thoki fics and I hadn't even watched the movies yet. I have now watched all of the movies that are out too many times to count and they are still a pair I enjoy. So I snuck it in. I tried to add a hint of Science Bros by having Bruce be part of Tony's act. I may catch up with Bruce later and add in some BlackHulk stuff (just a little though).
Anyway, thanks for reading, pls review if you enjoyed this!
