"I'm so bored..." whined Sam for the billionth time that night. "Shut up about being bored, or I'll have to seal you mouth shut with superglue." Wanda threatened playfully, holding up a bottle of superglue.
"Natasha raised both her hands in the air, "I have a suggestion." Steve nodded, "Go ahead Romanoff." Natasha glared daggers at him for calling her 'Romanoff', "First of all, don't call me 'Romanoff'. I have a name and it's Natasha." Everyone chuckled. "second of all, we're all bored, right? I think Mr... Falcon has made that quite clear.," She kept talking, obvious sarcasm in her tone. Everyone laughed again, harder this time, Sam looking very embarrassed and offended. Natasha kept talking,"So I'm thinking, we should do a friendly game of karaoke. Oh and Vision? No playing the audio tape while lip syncing to it, or whatever you do." "Do not worry, Miss Natasha, I will not cheat."
A silver gust of wind came rushing in through the open window. Everyone froze in shock at the familiar silhouette of the 'wind'. "Well Captain, I'm back from walking it off. Do I get a reward or not?" a voice snarked, Sokovian accent brittle."Pietro!" Wanda gasped, rushing over and enveloping him in a hug, "My baby brother!" "You know, I'm twelve minutes-" "older than me, I know. We're about to have a karaoke contest. Want to join us?" "Sign me up, little sister." Wanda pouted a little at that remark, just for old times sake, and dragged her twin brother to the living room, where the other members of the Avengers were sitting.
"Let's start this thing!" Rhodey yelled, a little too excitedly, jumping up and grabbing the microphone, "I'd like to invite our star spangled man, Captain America on stage!"
"Aww man." Steve groaned. He still wasn't used to technology. Rhodey put the playlist on shuffle and the first random song was... All of Me by John Lennon. "hit us with your best shot!" "shit." Steve swears under his breath. Unfortunately, his words were caught by the microphone, and everyone heard it. "LANGUAGE!" They yelled at the same time. "Oh, now you've told them too?" He asks Natasha, who was wearing a (undoubtedly) very smug smirk on her face. "That's seriously never going away." he muttered, this time turning his face away from the microphone.
The music to All of Me started. Steve thought, here goes nothing then. And started to sing,
"What would I do without your smart mouth?"
He looked at Natasha at this line, she smiled and shrugged.
"Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
"Nice work Cap! Apart from the part where you closed your eyes for about half of the whole song." Rhodey remarks. Steve chuckles, not saying anything. "Okay! Next up, our master assassin, Natasha Romanoff!" The playlist was shuffled, same as it did when Steve sang. "Single Ladies , Beyonce!"
"Okay really, I know how Cap feels now." She winked at him, and he turned a little pink at the tips of his ears. "Wait a sec, did you all catch that? Did you-" Pietro yelled as he saw the wink, but was cut off by the music that started blaring through the speakers.
"All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
You decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
don't pay him any attention
Cause I cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn
And now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Don't treat me to these things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Is a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I'm the one you want
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost I'll be gone
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Wuh uh oh"
During the song, Wanda and Vision were flirting with each other, Vision being very awkward- no, scratch that, they both were very bad at it. "You know Vision, I'd like not to become a single lady as this song says." she said in the middle of the song. "And why is that?" he asked,rich British accent questioning. "I met a man, who is absolutely wonderful. He is kind, caring and best of all, red, my favorite color." "You are talking about me, are you not?" Vision asked quizzically. "Maybe." Wanda smiled, then turned back to the stage.
"Okay guys, are you done flirting?" Pietro asked the duo, breaking the silence that he maintained so well. Wanda physically and mentally jumped at the sudden sentence.
"Alright Maximoffs, break it up. Wanda, I've been calling for you to come up here for the fourth time already! Get off your butt!" Wanda glared at Rhodey with such intensity, the house would have burned down. "Fine." she huffed and walked onto the stage, praying for a good song.
The playlist was shuffled. Wanda was legit praying. "We have... Crazy Youngsters, Ester Dean!" The music started and Wanda thought, at least I know this song.
"One day the world will be gone
There'll be no one here to walk the land
One day what you know will be wrong
There'll be no one here to hold your hand
Right now we're crazy youngsters
Time is running out, but who cares we're running free
They call us crazy youngsters
We don't apologize, we're mad and running free
They call us crazy youngsters
Time is running out but who cares we're running free
Hell yeah, we're crazy youngsters
We don't apologize, we're mad and running free
(Cause we got) Hey, we got a lot of things to do (Hey)
Hey, we got a lot of things to prove
(Yeah we got) Yeah we got a lot of room to grow
(Hey) Yeah we got a lot of miles to go
So we keep driving, we keep driving
One day when the story's all told
There'll be no more words to fill the page
One night when the stars are all gone
There'll be no more light to guide the way
Right now we're crazy youngsters
Time is running out, but who cares we're running free
They call us crazy youngsters
We don't apologize, we're mad and running free
They call us crazy youngsters
Time is running out but who cares we're running free
Hell yeah, we're crazy youngsters
We don't apologize, we're mad and running free
(Cause we got) Hey, we got a lot of things to do (Hey)
Hey, we got a lot of things to prove
(Yeah we got) Yeah we got a lot of room to grow (Oh grow)
(Hey) Yeah we got a lot of miles to go
So we keep driving, we keep driving
(Oh) We keep driving, we keep driving (driving, driving, hey)
And don't blink till its over (over)
The fun has just begun
Let's finish the race
While our hearts are young
(Cause we're) Cause we're crazy youngsters
Time is running out but who cares we're running free
Hell yeah we're crazy youngsters (crazy youngsters)
We don't apologize, we're mad and running free
(Cause we got) Hey, we got a lot of things to do (Hey)

(Hey) Yeah we got a lot of miles to go
So we keep driving, oh ooh oh
Hell yeah we're crazy youngsters
We keep driving, driving, driving, driving"
She ended the song with everyone in the room on high because they loved the song.
"Next up! Our Birdy, Sam!" He shuffled the playlist and out came the song Centuries by Fall Out Boy.
Sam didn't hesitate and jumped into the song at the first note.
"Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries"
"Vision my man! Come one up here!" Rhodey gestured with his hand for him to come up. "But I am a synthezoid..." He replied, obviously confused. "Whatever, man." Vision goes on stage. "And remember, no cheating!" yelled Natasha's voice. "Yes, Natasha."
The music starts and Vision bops his head to the seemingly unfamiliar song. He looks at the lyrics on the screen and begins.
"I've never so adored you
I'm twisting allegories now
I want to complicate you
Don't let me do this to myself
I'm chasing roller coasters
I've got to have you closer now
Endless romantic stories
You never could control me
Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
While the crown hangs heavy on either side
Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die (we're far too young to die).
Far too young to die
Fixation or psychosis?
Devoted to neurosis now
Endless romantic stories
You never could control me
Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
While the crown hangs heavy on either side
Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die.
Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
While the crown hangs heavy on either side
Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die (far too young to die).
Far too young to die
Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
While the crown hangs heavy on either side
Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die.
We're far too young to die"
Wanda was smiling like an idiot during the song, having read his mind and knowing that it was sung for her.
"Alright Sonic, you can stop bouncing now, time to sing." "Yes!" Pietro shrieked and he zoomed on stage. He was going to sing Favorite Record by Fall Out Boy.
"Do you do, do you remember
When we drove, we drove, drove through the night
And we danced, we danced
To Rancid, and we danced, we danced
And I confessed, confessed to you
Riding shotgun underneath the purple skies
And we danced, we danced
With windows down, and we danced, we danced
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to…)
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to…)
You were the song stuck in my head
Every song that I've ever loved
Played again and again and again
And you can get what you want but it's never enough
And I spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I can't, I can't, I can't remember
Just how to forget, forget the way
That we danced, we danced
To Danzig, and we danced, we danced
And when you ask, you ask me how I'm doing
Like you know, you know how much better off I am
And when we danced, we danced
With windows down, and we danced, we danced
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to…)
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to…)
You were the song stuck in my head
Every song that I've ever loved
Played again and again and again
And you can get what you want but it's never enough
And I spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I spin for you like your favorite records used to
I spin, I spin, I spin, I spin
For you, for you, for you, for you, for yeah…
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to, used to, to, to…)
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to, used to, to, to…)"
As he sang the song, he spun around on his heels multiple times, at normal speed, of course, and... nearly fell off the stage. Wanda sensed his panic at his sudden loss of balance, and started giggling. No one thought she was crazy, for once, as they all saw Pietro's panicked face that he tried to get rid of. He staggered and put the mic back where it belonged, then hopped off the stage, nearly resulting in another 'accident' (in his pants) as he hit the floor.
"Sam, please." Rhodey pointed at him, and then to the stage. "No prob." Sam practically flew on stage. "Pompeii, Bastille!"
"Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o, eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o, Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o"
Sam took the microphone from Rhodey and let him on stage. "And for the grand finale, RHODEY THE IRON PATRIOT! Singing..." He paused to check the song that he shuffled, "Immortals by Fall Out Boy!"
"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame.
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams.
Oooooooh
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
Oooooooh,
I try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long.
And live with me forever now,
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long.
We could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals.
Sometimes the only pay-off for having any faith
Is when it's tested again and again everyday.
I'm still comparing your past to my future.
It might be your wound but they're my sutures.
Oooooooh
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
Oooooooh,
I try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long.
And live with me forever now,
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long.
We could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immortals,
And live with me forever now,
Pull the blackout curtains down,
We could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long.
We could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
(Immortals)"
And as Rhodey finished, he accidentally hit his head on the microphone when he took a bow. A bang and a loud screech filled the room and laughter followed soon after. You could say they had great fun.
