And hello my lovely readers! This will be my first Avengers story (Demons is more of a character study), and it is a team-fic. All of them will be featured! I love these people so much, it's not even funny :) But anyway, for the sake of the story, Thor is currently in Asgard but will soon reappear. OH! And there will be NO SLASH.
I (unfortunately) DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS
Enjoy!
"I can NOT believe we lost that bet. There were four of us!" groaned Tony.
"Well, boys, you did, and now I get to pick your movie," said Natasha with an evil look in her eyes.
"Oh GOD, she's going to pick something sappy like The Notebook, isn't she?"
"Yup," Clint answered in a resigned tone. He should have known better than to take the bet. All too often he had made bets with her about the movie choice and so far she had never lost. "We're doomed."
"I bet between the four of you there is no way a single one of you can complete the cinnamon challenge."
"The what?" asked Steve.
"The cinnamon challenge," said Natasha with a smirk, "is where a person has one minute to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon without spitting it back out."
"And this is supposed to be...challenging?" Steve asked doubtfully.
"Oh, it's nearly impossible. There's no way you could do it," she said.
"Is that a CHALLENGE I hear?" Tony shouted over.
"Let's make it a bet, shall we?" said Natasha. "If one of you manages to do it, then you guys can dye my hair any color you want." At this point, Tony's eyes lit up, and she knew she hit the bullseye. "If you can't, then I get to pick the film for your next boys movie night."
Tony, Bruce, Steve, and Clint looked at each other.
"Deal."
The next day was the night of the movie night. Natasha set up the kitchen with a seat for all of the boys, a tablespoon in front of each place. She set out a jar of cinnamon and put up a video camera, and waited for the fun to begin.
Tony wasn't even close. He decided to try and do it bit by bit, but by twenty seconds he was choking on a third of the tablespoon. Natasha smirked at his reaction.
Clint, being the daredevil, stuck the whole tablespoon in his mouth at once. He took forty five seconds to swallow some of it, but he couldn't keep it down and ended up spitting most of it out.
Steve was definitely the closest. He tried Clint's approach and managed to somehow swallow it all, which actually made Natasha nervous... until he felt sick and only just managed to get to a garbage can before he threw it all back up.
Bruce's reaction was by far the funniest. At least for everyone else. He tried Tony's strategy, but only got half of it in his mouth before he started choking and nearly hulked out on everyone. Natasha was dying of laughter.
Tony was frustrated. Cinnamon managed to get Bruce to hulk easier than he could.
The four men were sitting on the couch waiting for Natasha and coming up with all the possible chick flicks that Natasha might choose. So when she walked in holding a DVD of Up, they were more or less relieved.
"Really, Nat, that's the best you can do?" Clint asked dubiously. She shrugged and put the DVD in.
"Enjoy the movie, boys!" she called as she walked out.
The four of them were shedding very unmanly tears within the first five minutes.
Alright, so that chapter was completely fluff. I promise there WILL be some action, and I believe it will be in the next chapter. I know what's going to happen, but it isn't written yet, so I will try and have it up by next weekend if not sooner (but ya know, with school and all...). Reviews might make it come faster, too, so PLEASE REVIEW!
