Easter. Your favorite holiday after Christmas. You had been waiting for Easter for months, only for the thrill of it. You loved painting eggs, finding them around the garden and being around your family who were called The Avengers. Of course they weren't your real family, but you considered them more your family than your real one was.

You woke up in the morning due to a loud voice yelling in the living room. Tony's voice. Groaning, you made your way towards your closet where you took out an outfit for the day. After changing and making your bed you walked into the elevator before allowing it to take you to the floor where the living room was located. As soon as the door opened, a colorful sight appeared in front of you. Apparently Clint and Thor had decided to paint some eggs, but ended up throwing paint at each other. But the things that got damaged mostly was the furniture, and that didn't suit well to Tony.

„ What the hell did you do?!" He yelled, annoyed that his luxurious furniture was ruined. Seeing some paint, Tony picked it up before throwing it towards Clint. Most of the paint landed on Clint and his face, but some part of it landed on Loki who had appeared onto the scene with a plan to grab some breakfast. Seeing a smirk appear onto his face, you knew exactly what it meant.

It was time for a paint war.

You ended up forming a team along with Steve, Clint and Natasha. Bucky, Thor and Tony formed another team since Tony didn't agree to be in a same team as Clint. Bruce on the other hand didn't agree to play, fearing that it might bring out the 'Other Guy'. Loki decided to form a team on his own since he didn't consider himself a team player.

Slightly before the war had begun, when Tony was talking about the rules, you managed to sneak past the Avengers as you made your way to a room where Tony kept his paints and other art-related supplies. You grabbed as many paints as you could before making your way out of the room. As soon as you had exited the room you collided with Loki, almost dropping all of the paints that you had in your arms.

„ What are you doing, Y/N?" He questioned, making you think of a good explanation without telling him that you were practically stealing the paints and therefore cheating.

„ I was going to bring the paints into the living room so that everyone could grab some." You lied. When a smirk appeared onto Loki's face you knew that he hadn't bought your lie.

„ Okay, I was going to stash some of these paints away for future." You said, making him chuckle. Chuckle? That surprised you, since Loki wasn't one to laugh, not often at least.

„ Carry on, then." He said before disappearing, leaving you wonder whether he was about to tell the others about your plan or not.

To your surprise Loki had decided not to tell the others about your paint stealing and therefore the game carried on as usual. You arrived at the living room just when the Avengers were about to begin the paint war.

You were to throw the first shot and that was because to protect Clint who was about to be splashed with a red paint by Tony. You managed to throw paint on his head, making his hair and along with his face neon pink. As soon as Clint saw the scene, he jumped up and down before running at you.

„ Headshot!" He yelled, high-fiving you. While the two of you were busy laughing at Tony, Thor had gotten splashed, Steve and Bucky were mostly throwing paint at each other, the same with Natasha and Tony. Suddenly, paint was thrown over you and Clint. Looking over at the person who had thrown it, you saw a smirking Loki look towards you before he suddenly disappeared.

Two hours later the war was even larger than it was before. Each and every one of you had split up, and therefore it was hard to distinguish an enemy from a teammate. Thor was currently behind the kitchen counter, eating pop tarts while looking out for people to throw paint on. Tony was lurking around the halls while Clint was in the ventilate system, finding it the best way to attack. Natasha and Steve had decided to stick together, while you were currently at your room, taking more supplies what you had stashed in your room before. Bucky decided to get out of the game while he still could, so he along with Bruce found watching TV in the living room much more entertaining. Loki on the other hand was nowhere to be found.

A loud voice made by the elevator alerted Thor as he jumped up, throwing the paint at an unknown person without finding out who it was before. An unamused look was plastered onto Sam Falcon's face as he tried to push as much red paint off him as he could. And then, another person had joined the game, without you or others besides Thor even knowing about it.

After gathering your supplies, you left the room quietly, determined to the take the war onto another level. You gathered some buckets into which you threw every color of paint you had, mixing them all together. Your plan was to throw some paint onto every Avenger, including your own teammates. You sneaked on the main floor when you suddenly saw Steve wondering around the halls, Natasha not too far from him. Staying around the corner, you waited for the perfect moment. As soon as you saw Steve around the corner, you threw paint on him, managing to get some on Natasha as well. Quickly, you threw the remaining paint from the bucket onto Natasha as you ran away, looking back at the two of them and seeing their confused looks. Suddenly, they started running after you.

As soon as you were on another level not too far from Tony's room, a loud bang from the ventilator system alerted you. What surprised you the most was to see Clint jump out of it, making you scream as the two of you threw paint onto each other since he thought you might be Tony. He on the other hand observed the scene from around the corner, and suddenly threw paint onto the two of you, making the both of you surprised since you weren't aware that an attack would come.

Five hours later no one had any paint left, and therefore the war had come to an end. Every single one of you walked back to the living room where it all had begun, exhausted. You dropped onto the couch, Tony and Clint next to you. Thor and Sam had been in the kitchen the whole time, eating pop tarts and chatting about Asgard. Bucky and Bruce had moved into their rooms since they couldn't watch TV in peace in the living room. Steve and Natasha sat onto another couch, sighing because of how tired the paint war had been.

„ It was more exhausting than our missions usually are." You spoke, adding a yawn at the end of your sentence.

Suddenly, paint was poured onto each and every one of you. The source of the paint was nowhere to be seen, therefore meaning that it was something magical. Loki appeared into the living room as soon as the paint stopped pouring, smirking at the sight in front of him.

„ If I wouldn't be so exhausted, I would run after you." You said, pointing a finger towards him before putting your head onto Tony's lap and your legs on Clint's.

„ I think we can all agree on who the winner is." He announced, making each and every one of you yell: „ You are!"
