"Alex, give me back my helmet!" Yelled Tony from upstairs as my best friend, Alex Ramarez, slid down the banister and raced into the kitchen, where Steve, Natasha and i were, laughing and holding a gold and red metal helmet.

"Hey, keep this safe Stars and Stripes!" she said before plunking the helmet down on Steve's head and running into the pantry, stifling her laughter.

In stormed Tony, black hair astray and blue eyes furious. He spotted the helmeted Steve and smiled triumphantly. "She's been here!"

I was trying to pull the helmet off Steve's struggling head when he announced that. "She said something about going to antagonize Bruce until he Hulked out-" I started before Tony's eyes widened and he cut me off with a yell.

"No! No, no, no! She can NOT make him Hulk out! Last time he did, i had to buy a whole new kitchen!" he grabbed his helmet off Steve's head with ease and ran out of the room. After we heard the door shut, Alex cautiously walked out of the pantry.

Laughing, she high-fived my reluctant hand and sat casually on the counter. "Sorry, Stars and Stripes. No hard feelings?"

He shook his head in amazement. "You are something else, Ramarez. Sure, we're ok."

Natasha rolled her eyes. "What was the whole point of messing with Tony anyways?"

Alex shrugged. "I was bored?" She started playing with her hair.

Alex had short black hair with green highlights, which she now wore in a paris fashion where the back was short and it was longer in the front. She had bright green eyes and was a short, 5'3 girl with semi tan skin.

Natasha threw her hands up in the air. "Of course, it all makes sense now," she said sarcastically before strutting out of the room.

I went to the fridge and grabbed some carrots, bringing them back to where Alex sat. "You're seriously almost as bad as Loki," i said while biting into a carrot. Steve reached across to take a carrot and i smacked his hand. With a bruised look on his face, he withdrew his hand.

Alex put her hand on her heart and gasped with fake hurt. "Tami! How could you even think i am as gruesomely evil as that greasy little bag of skin and bones?"

Steve looked up from his drawing pad he had gotten out. "You used permanent shoe polish to polish my shield."

I pointed a carrot at her. "You painted everything in my room black," i shuddered in horror as i remembered waking up to that horrid color.

"You shrank my Captain America suit." Steve pointed out thoughtfully as Alex snickered.

"Haha, the look on your face was priceless!" She said.

"You also took my journal and wrote ALEX WAS HERE in big letters on every page!" i muttered.

Alex groaned. "Aw, come on guys! Those were just jokes!"

Clint opened the door right then and Alex immediately turned to him. "Can you please tell these guys what i do to them is completely harmless?"

Clint laughed. "Harmless? Ya, no can do, that'd be a lie. Remember when you dressed up like a demon that one Halloween, and you scared Bruce so much he Hulked out and took out half of Manhattan? Ya, i think Tony is still dealing with lawsuits about that."

Alex huffed. "But i'm so damn bored in here! All i do is think up ways to prank you guys. I never mean to hurt anyone."

I laughed. "You're bored? What, is saving the world 7 times a month too easy for you?"

"Yeees!" Alex half shouted half moaned at me, clutching my shoulders dramatically.

Clint shrugged and grabbed for my carrots, which i defended viciously, leaving his hand scratched, bruised, and carrot less. "Why don't we go somewhere? Somewhere so freaking insane that Alex couldn't possibly be bored ever again!"

Steve and i looked at Clint with an are-you-freaking-kidding-me look, while Alex jumped off the counter and ran up to Clint.

"Are you serious? Do you think there can actually be a place like that?" Alex asked.

Before Clint could respond, in walked Bruce, with a cup of tea in his hand.

"Bruce! You're supposed to be in your lab!" i practically yelled at him.

He gave me a blank look and held up his cup of tea. "I ran out of green tea, so i went to the store to buy some."

The door burst open, revealing a very angry Tony, who pointed to Alex and yelled, "You!" before storming up to her.

She laughed and waved at Stark. "Miss me?"

He snarled. "Just who the h*ll do you think you are? This is MY house, not yours. I am the boss around here, NOT you!"

Alex poked her finger into Starks arc reactor. "And who do you think you are talking to a girl like that?!"

Tony laughed. "Since when did you become a girl?"

I gasped. Knowing Alex, this was NOT going to end well.

She smirked before lifting up her shirt, flashing everyone, including the now awestruck Tony. "That proof enough to you?" She said, dropping her shirt back down.

He didn't answer, just stood there staring at her in admiration.

She hmphed and walked out of the room, leaving behind an astonished Tony, an embarrassed Steve, a laughing Clint, a disapproving Bruce, and an amused me.

Bruce sniffed and turned to leave. "Well, if you don't mind, I'm going back to my lab for some APPROPRIATE science experiments." He said before swishing out the door.

Clint, still laughing, sat on the stool next to me. "Haha, did you see the look on Tonys face? PRICELESS!" He made another grab for my carrots, which proved unsuccessful.

Tony grinned like a high school boy and sat in front of me. He whistled. "That chick sure has some guts. And a fine body," he added.

Clint laughed. "Haha, that too." Tony agreed and they fist pumped, while Captain and i just looked at them in disgust.

"You guys are so disgusting!" I said, biting into another carrot.

Steve nodded, glaring at Tony. "If you keep acting like that, you're never going to win over her heart."

Tony spluttered in his coffee cup. "Win her OVER? Why would i want to win over that pompous little brat?"

Clint raised his eyebrows and leaned in closer to Tony. "Does that mean shes available?"

Tony spluttered again, actually splashing coffee onto the granite counter. As he wiped it up, he gave Clint a suspicious look. "Whats it to you?"

Clint shrugged and grinned over his cup. "I wanna take her out sometime."

This time I choked on my carrot. Steve immediately went into action, wrapping his arms around my stomach and pushing upward until a small piece of carrot flew out of my mouth and into Tony's face.

He yelled in surprise and whipped it off his face onto the ground. He turned back to me and practically growled.

I was still gasping, and giving a pat of thanks on Steve's back. Finally catching my breath, i ignore Tony's glare and turn to Clint. "You're thinking of asking ALEX out? Are you serious?"

He shrugged. "Ya, shes pretty fun to hang out with, and shes got an AMAZING bod," he grinned at my look of revulsion.

"Wait wait wait, YOU are going to ask out HER?" Tony repeated.

Clint rolled his eyes. "Is that a problem?"

Realizing he just sounded jealous, Tony turned back to his half empty cup, trying to look nonchalant. "Psh, of course not. You are allowed to date anyone you want, even if they are as crazy and unpredictable as Alex."

Clint smiled smugly and leaned back on his chair. "Cool."

I looked between them in disbelief. I mean, they BOTH pretty much said they liked Alex, my BEST FRIEND. I looked to Steve, who just shrugged and grabbed a carrot. I was too far in shock to try and stop him.

Weeeeellll, here's one of my first fanfics. Wait, THE FIRST fanfic. Ah, the summer of 2012, that's when it all started, right after the Avengers came out. Memories...
