Tales from the Avengers
Chapter 1: Don't Mess with the Eye Patch
Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Bruce Banner, sat around an octagonal glass table on the Helicarrier. The table had the SHIELD logo embedded in the glass. In front of Captain America was a black phone and in his right hand was the takeout menu for Pizza Hut. That's right. The Avengers weren't awaiting an assignment brief, they were about to order dinner. But, they didn't exactly agree on what to order.
"Thor, for the last time they don't serve goat on pizza." Captain America groaned. "Okay, so we're getting a large supreme right?" the soldier asked. "I thought we were getting a veggie." said Widow. "I thought we were getting meat lovers!" Thor bellowed as he pounded his fist on the table. "I thought we were getting Thai food." Hawkeye joked. This was greeted by an assault of crumpled up paper and pens. "Okay! Okay! I'm just joking!" Hawkeye complained. "Hey guys, why don't we just get a plain cheese pizza?" Bruce suggested. "NO!" the rest of the Avengers simultaneously objected.
Just then, Tony Stark strolled by, casually whistling something that vaguely sounded like Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". "Hey, Tony, we're ordering pizza. You want anything specific?" Cap asked. "Nah, just breadsticks. Hey, if Nick Fury asks where I am, lie." And with that, he sped out of the room. "What the-," Widow began. "TOOONYYYY!" Nick Fury came bursting through the door, covering his left eye with his hand. "Where'd that billionaire brat go? I'm gonna pound him into the ground so hard, he's gonna become a fossil!" "Um, what happened to your eye?" Thor questioned "He took my eye patch!" Nick slowly removed his hand from his face. "Ah!" Cap put his hands up to shield his view from Fury's mutilated eye…but it looked perfectly normal. "Hey, your eye looks fine!" Banner noticed. "So why do you where that eye patch anyway?" he continued. "'Cause I like to keep the agents guessing." In a mock curious tone he continued. "Ooh, what happened to Nick Fury's eye? Did he lose it in an epic battle? Did he tear it out of his own head and exchange it for knowledge?" Thor shook his head at the reference to his father, Odin. Fury continued, "Did he lose it in a bathroom or kitchen accident? No. It's just fine. Now, as I asked earlier, which… way… did… Tony… go?" he spat through his teeth. The five Avengers at the table simultaneously pointed in the direction Tony went. "Thank you. Stark! Get your ass over here I know you've got my eye patch!" Fury hollered as he stormed out of the room and put his hand back over his eye.
Hawkeye looked around and jokingly asked "So, does this mean we're not getting pizza?" Everyone threw more paper and pens at him. "Okay! Enough with the paper and pens! Where are you getting them from anyway?" Hawkeye complained.
THE END
Disclaimer: I know Fury lost his eye in the comics, I just thought this would be fun. Also big thank you to my sister for helping me write this. BTW this is part 1 in a series of one- shot type stories about the Avengers. If you haven't seen the movie, do it. I guarantee it will change your life forever.
