I. Tournaments Are Fun

"You're getting slow, 'old man!'" laughed Bucky Barns. He dodged Steve's fist and returned it with a kick.

"Hey, it's 2015," reminded Steve. "And we are the same age."

Bucky stopped sparring. "We are? I guess my memory hasn't recall-oomf!" He flew across the room.

Above the training/sparring, leaning over the rail, was Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, Falcon, War Machine, Vision, Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Ant-Man, and Bruce Banner. The New and Old Avengers were having a sparring tournament. And because Cap insisted, The Winter Soldier was part of the fun, too. But that left them with an uneven number of competitors. Bruce said he wouldn't fight because of the 'other guy' and after lots of objections, the others agreed.

"They're pretty equally matched," said Rhody.

Thor nodded. "Agreed. It will be a valiant effort to beat the other."

"Yeah," drawled Scott Lang. "Uh, can you speak English next time?"

Natasha and Clint went to the hologram showing the bracket. This was the first fight and they wee becoming bored. After this match, it would be Iron Man vs. Ant-Man. Then Scarlett Witch vs. Falcon, Quicksilver vs. Thor (it was pretty obvious who would win that one (at least, that's what the former S.H.I.E.L.D agents thought)), War Machine vs. Vision, and, of course, Black Widow vs. Hawkeye.

Suddenly Bucky pinned Steve down. Tony began the five second countdown. When five seconds had passed and Steve couldn't get up Bucky was declared winner. The Avengers erupted into cheers while Jarvis added Bucky's name to the next round.

Now for Iron Man vs. Ant-Man. "Really?" Snorted Tony as he suited up. "This should be a piece of cake."

"Ooh! I love cake!" Yelled Scott.

Jarvis was the one who started the fight. Immediately Ant-Man shrank. He called on his ants to block Iron Man's scanners. The Avengers watched, bug-eyed (hehe, get it?).
At some point, Ant-Man was stuck in Iron Man's hand. He grew and sent Tony flying to the wall. "I'll admit. This is a pretty fair fight," said the billionaire.

But the little ants failed and Tony won. As Tony did his victory dance, Jarvis updated the board and Scott scooped up his injured friends. He headed immediately for his lab to heal some of the survivors.

The next rounds went by fairly fast. Wanda dominated the field, Pietro couldn't be seen, Vision was kicked out for summoning Mjölnir (otherwise he would have won) and Natasha had no problem pinning Clint.

And so the next round proceeded. Iron Man lost to The Winter Soldier, Pietro ran circles around his sister, and War Machine somehow bested Natasha.

"That leaves three. Does this mean a looser will have to participate again? Cause I'm totally up for it!" Shouted Vision.

"Or we just have them all fight at the same time," suggested Bruce. Everyone voted for Bruce's idea and Vision pouted.

The fight started. The Avengers cheered when Rhody knocked Quicksilver over. They groaned as War Machine smashed the speeder against the wall. They winced when The Winter Soldier stabbed his robotic arm into War Machine's face.

This fight went on even longer then the Captain America vs. Bucky. And at the moment, it looked like it wasn't going to end. It might just be an endurance battle. Meanwhile Scott returned from his lab and placed little cameras on his ants. That way they could see the battle from all angles.

Bucky was thrown into Quicksilver. The X-man got up and ran laps around the arena, punching each opponent as he ran by. Angered, Bucky tried to punch Quicksilver. His missed. Pietro taunted "Nyah Nyah! You can't hit me! You can't hit-OW!" His smashed right into the grey iron man. Both Rhody and Bucky tried to take advantage of this and went to punch their speedy friend. But Quicksilver was too fast. He started running again. So Bucky stuck out his leg. Somehow Pietro missed that and tripped over it. He smashed right into the control panel.

"Oops," he said as the panel began to generate electricity. Beams of electricity shot around the room, touching all the Avengers.

"AUUUUGGGHHHHH!" Tony, Thor, Steve, Rhody, Wanda, Bucky, Pietro, Scott, Natasha, Clint, and Bruce screamed.

"Great job, Bucky!" Shrieked Vision.

Lol haven't watched the Winter Soldier yet so we'll see how this goes.

Ask Siri this: 'Can I call you Jarvis?'
