The Avengers had been asked to go and visit some children in hospital after the disastrous mission a few days before. Captain America, ever the patriot, agreed straight away and thats how the six Avengers found them selves in a childrens hospital at 11:30 on a wednesday morning.
Countray to popular belief, Tony Stark didn't hate children. In fact he loved them. The childish inoccents and they way they could always find the good in people made his heart swell. Unfortunately the other Avengers didn't know that.
"Hurry up, Stark. We're about to make some little kids very happy. Can you be anymore selfish?"

Ironman:5Clint smiled,
"Bad luck, Stark. But no one beats Captain America" Tony smiled saddly and turned to go. When a Nurse rushed up to them,
"I'm so sorry for you're about to leave but there's one little boy in the ICU and he's really sick" none of them missed the he probably wont make it part "but I think he would really like to meet you" Steve stepped forward,
"of cause ma'ma, lead the way." The Nurse lead them to
