It was a normal day at Avengers Tower. Well, as normal as it gets for a group made up from two trained assassins, a Norse God, a man that turns into a giant green rage monster when angry, a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist and a genetically engineered super soldier. At the moment all of the Avengers were in the main common room on the top floor of the tower. Bruce was sitting in an armchair reading the newspapper, Natasha, Clint and Tony were sitting on the floor infront of the giant widescreen tv playing Mario Kart, Thor was sitting on one end of the sofa eating PopTarts whilst watching them with interest and finally Steve was sitting on the other side of the sofa reading Harry Potter. Suddenly Clint turned the game off causing a round of whines and protests from Tony and Thor while Natasha just pouted and gave him a glare. Clint just stood infront of the tv facing everyone before clapping his hands loudly to gain the attention of the two males that were immersed in their reading. As soon as the attention of everyone was on him, Clint looked at Steve with pleading puppy eyes, "Steeeeeeve?" he said like he was about to ask if they could have ice cream. "Yes Clint?" Steve said warily as he put his book down, "Can you tell us a story?" he asked almost like a child that was asking their parents for a puppy.

The question got everyones attention, before they all starting tripping over themselves trying to get to Steve and find a place to sit. They all loved Steves stories not just because the stories were amazing but also because Steve was an amazing story teller. Finally they all settled around Steve in various sitting positions; Tony was laying on the back of the sofa, Bruce was sitting on the back underneath Tonys legs, Thor was still sitting on his side of the sofa but now he was sitting facing Steve with his back to the armrest and Bruces legs resting on his shoulders, Clint was laying down with his head on Steves lap and his legs on Thors lap, Natasha had positioned Steve so his back was to the armrest and had somehow managed to squeeze herself between his back and the arm with her arms around his chest and her legs around his waist. Steve looked at them with a small smile before asking "Ok. What story would you guys like to hear?" As soon as they heard that they all started talking at the same time, well all except Natasha who had her face nuzzled in the crook of Steve's kneck. "Ok! Ok, one at a time please." Steve said to them, chuckling slightly in amusement at his team acting like over excited kids. Clint waved his hand in the air almost smacking Steve in the face before stating with a giant, hopeful smile on his face, "How about a story about the Howling Commandos?! Please, they're my favourite!" Steve was about to answer but before he could, Tony had thrown a pillow at Clint. "I want a story about the pranks Bucky and the Commandos did while you guys were camping!" He said, well whined actually, giving Steve a small pout hoping he would pick his request over Clint's.

Thor, who had up until that moment been eating his PopTarts happily, gave Steve his best kicked puppy expression, "I wish to hear a tale of your victories conquering your enemy, Captain, a tale of your days in battle." This suggestion made Bruce uncomfortable. Ever since the Loki incedent, Bruce had gone to find Steve to ask how he got the Other Guy to listen to his order and when Steve said he didn't know, they started to think as to why the Other Guy listened. After many hours thinking, Bruce had come up with the theory that because Steve was an experiment and had the Super Soldier Serum injected into him, the Other Guy had decided that they were connected and that the super soldier was a friend, a brother and should be protected. Since Bruce came up with the theory, they have spent time together, bonded and got to know each other better; Steve helped in keeping the big guy calm and happy, Bruce helped Steve learn how to use this day's technology. They confided in each other and over time became brothers in all but blood. Bruce was uncomfortable at Thor's suggestion because he didn't like the stories about the war, he didn't like the idea that Steve had to go through so much suffering, didn't like the fact that Steve had seen and been in the war and neither did the big guy.

"Um, actually if you don't mind, I would like to hear a story about when you met Dr Erskine." Bruce said hesitantly, looking at Steve with a pleading look in his eyes which made Steve smile reasuringly at him, letting him know he will not tell a war story. Natasha finally looked up from Steve's kneck and gently rested her chin against his shoulder, rolling her eyes at the story suggestions. "I want to hear a story from your childhood. You don't really talk about it. At all. Please Stevie?" Natasha finally spoke but as she did, they all noticed that Steve went pale and stiffened at her suggestion, an almost haunted look entered his blue eyes and his face bore a pained expression. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a blaring noise and red flashing lights causing them all to shoot up out of their seats and caused Steve to relax before taking his Captain America stance as well as his 'leader' voice. "Sir, Director Fury requests the Avengers to assemble. There is a villan terrorising down town Manhatten. He is armed with a ray gun which seems to be making inanimate objects come to life and start attacking civilians." Tony's robotic A.I. butler, J.A.R.V.I.S informed them while, at the same time pulling up feeds from security camera's showing a clearly crazy bad guy shouting random things whilst laughing rather insanely as streetlamps, mail boxes, t.v's and other things started attacking people. Steve took in all the information, took in all the visuals before turning to his team who looked at him for orders. "Team suit up. Avengers assemble!"

Ok I know it is not much but please give me a chance because i am really trying. Updating the story might be a little slow and for that I apologise. Please leave a Review if you think my story is worthy enough for one. Bye :)
