The Avenger Club kids, Bruce, Steve, Thor, Clint, and Natasha were all at Tony's house planning a birthday party for Nick Fury, the leader of their group. They're planning on having the party at Nick's clubhouse. They're trying to devise a way to get Nick to leave his house so they can decorate his clubhouse and get his gifts ready.
"Alright, we've just about got all the decorations and presents ready. All we need now is to get Fury to leave his house so we can get all this stuff over there. You guys got any ideas?" said Steve.
"We could go destroy a playground and get him to check it out." Thor suggested.
"No, he'll know we did that, especially if you and Bruce do that." Natasha said.
"How about we just knock 'im out and lock him in the closet until we're done!" Tony exclaimed.
"What is this I hear about locking Director Fury in a closet?"
They all turn around to see agents Phil Coulson and Maria Hill walking into the room with their own gifts.
"Who invited Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber?" asked Tony.
"For your information, Pepper and Jane let us in." argued Maria.
"Well that was nice." said Thor.
"Nice? We didn't even invite them!"
"You know, we are in his club too, right?" said Coulson.
"No, you're his S.H.E.I.D. friends and I didn't invite you."
"Why didn't you invite them?" Steve asked "They're just as qualified to come to this party as Natasha and Clint."
"Ugh, Fine! But you're gonna have to help us set this all up. We're planning on having the party in the clubhouse."
"How're you going to that if it's right next to his house?" Coulson asked.
"We're still working on that!"
"Actually, I think I have a solution to this problem." said Bruce. He looked pretty confident, which is different from his usual nervous, careful self.
Later
"I hate this idea." said Coulson.
"Me too. It's not gonna work for that long." Said Agent Hill.
"Well, until you think of something better, this is all we can do."
They both looked displeased.
"Oh, don't look at me like that. All you two have to do is keep Fury busy while we decorate the clubhouse."
"How're we supposed to do that from his house? He's bound to get suspicious."
"You don't have to keep him in the house. In fact, I'd rather you didn't. We're going to need him as far away as possible. Maybe you guys can take him to the mall or the movies."
"And then for dinner and a long walk on the beach." Tony joked.
"Stop messing around, Stark!"
"Make me, Capsicle!"
"That's enough guys. We don't have time for this." Natasha yelled back.
They finally settled down and moved along with their plan. After Coulson and Hill got Fury out of his house, the rest of the kids started preparing the party.
"Jeez, this is gonna take forever! Why did we bring so much stuff?" Clint whined.
"I dunno. Personally I thought it wasn't enough." Tony said.
"You never think anything is enough." argued Natasha.
"I do too!"
"Says the kid who made over 100 Iron Men because he was 'bored'." Clint replied.
Before Tony could make another sly remark, a boom came from the kitchen.
"What the heck was that?!" Tony exclaimed.
Thor came out of the kitchen looking like he came back from yet another war.
"I am truly sorry, but this strange contraption alarmed me greatly and I attacked it on reflex."
"Jane hasn't taught you how to use the oven yet?" asked Steve.
"Oh, I have," Said Jane as she came out of the kitchen looking battered as well. "but I suck at cooking."
"Whose great idea was it to let those two make the cake?" asked Tony.
"Forget about that. We need to go get some more ingredients for the cake." said Natasha.
"Fine. Natasha, Clint and I will go to the store and get some things for cake. Steve, Bruce and Pepper can stay here and finish setting up the party. Thor and Jane, clean yourselves up and help the others with the party." He thought for a second. "Actually, Thor once you clean yourself up, meet us at the store. We'll need all the help we can get."
Steve sighed. "I guess I'm fine with that. Is everyone else good?"
They all nodded their heads in agreement.
"Okay then. Operation: Party Starter is initiated!" Tony exclaimed.
Later, At the store
"Alright, so we need eggs, cake mix, milk, vegetable oil and butter. Anything else we need?" asked Tony.
"Actually, there is." said Natasha as she looked at her phone. "Pepper just texted me and said that they need more napkins, silverware, plates and cups."
"Fantastic." Clint groaned.
"Okay, change of plans. Natasha, you get the napkins, plates and eggs. Clint, you get the cups, silverware and vegetable oil. I'll get the milk, cake mix and butter. We'll meet up at the check-out area."
And with that, they all went their separate ways. Little did the heroes know, they were being watched.
