This is complete and utter silliness. I don't even really know...this is just what happens when my brain goes on vacation. Sooooo if it's funny I'll leave my brain off and if not I'll make an attempt to sleep more than 3 hours before I write something! Let me know through reviews or PM!
Tony knew that something was wrong the moment the elevator doors opened on the top floor of Stark Tower.
One. There was shouting in the living room. Why didn't JARVIS tell them to pipe down? Did they figure out how to put the AI in 'wild party' mode so it would let them carry on? Or was something very wrong? Was the team fighting? Was there a new mission? Was it Loki? Did Thor run out of Pop-Tarts? Were the Chitauri back? No one touched Clint's bow did they? That would just be suicide.
Two. From the decibel level, every single person on the top floor seemed to be involved in said shouting. Not even Cap was trying to calm it down. Capsicle allowing rambunctious fun? Or was Spangles in full-on Captain-and-leader-of-the-avengers mode? That would mean something very, very bad was going on. Maybe Thor was out of Pop-Tarts. Or someone put Steve's suit in the dryer? Hm...maybe someone took Natasha's gun away? No. Also suicide. It could be that Pepper was angry at him? That's a good chance, there.
Three. Natasha was on the floor convulsing. Without another thought, Tony sprinted to her.
"Talk to me Natasha," Tony begged while he grabbed her wrist and felt for her pulse. He was surprised to find it strong and healthy. He examined her face, and then realized what was really going on. What could possibly have happened to cause this? Had she been gassed? There was no way this could be natural. It was almost easier to believe she was having a seizure or a stroke than-
Laughing.
She was laughing. Rolling on the floor, out of control laughing. Her eyes were tearing up and she was bent double holding herself, absolutely shaking with mirth.
Tony did a double take before whipping his head around to check on the rest of his friends. If Natasha was reduced to this...he wasn't sure he wanted to know how the rest were acting.
Thor and Steve were hanging on each other for support, Thor's booming guffaw echoing through the whole house. Steve looked as if he were about to collapse with giggling, tears of laughter streaming down his face, right into his open, chuckling mouth. The two blondes were both gasping for air and making attempts (met with failure because they couldn't help but succumb to the giggles again) to explain to Tony what was going on.
Bruce was on the floor, slapping the ground, absolutely howling. His glasses lay neglected a few feet away from him as he laughed with sheer abandon. Through his cackling, he did notice Tony's bewilderment and summoned his immense intellect to explain the situation to him.
As it turns out, all he really did was point, but it was the best thing he could think of at the moment.
Tony followed Bruce's finger in utter confusion until he saw it.
Sweet.
Baby.
Jesus.
Clint had been crawling in the air vents again. It's a shame no one told him that there was going to be work done on them to make them just a bit smaller.
Clint was hanging from the vent, his top half still stuck inside while his legs dangled.
And.
"JARVIS!"
His.
Pants.
"Yes, sir?"
Were.
Slipping.
"Pictures and video?"
And everyone could see.
His.
"Of course, sir."
Bright pink and purple, I'M-A-BARBIE-GIRL boxers. The cause of everyone's laughter was becoming more and more visible as his weapon-laden cargo pants began to sag.
Seeing (and hearing…quite profanely) his dear friend in distress, Tony did what needed to be done. Sometimes it's hard to be a good friend.
So why bother?
Tony pantsed him the rest of the way. And posted video to YouTube. And to Nick Fury's Facebook wall. All entitled:
"Barton's Dignity Has Been Compromised"
Which Avenger do you want to see next? Long reviews are my favorite :) Let me know what you think!
