This story is pretty much just silliness. It takes place in an established Tony/Steve relationship, but the other Avengers are involved, of course, because without them it wouldn't be half as funny as it (hopefully) is. By the way… please review! Reviews keep me alive :)

There was a lot of things Captain America could do; kick alien's asses, kick Nazi's asses, just about kick anyone's ass, all the usual stuff that an Avenger could do. However, just like everyone else on the planet has, there was one thing he would not do. One thing he absolutely refused to do.

That was swear.

For some reason, his boyfriend, ba-freaking-jillionaire Tony Stark, thought this was really, really, really funny. Who in the world didn't swear? Tony was one of those people who followed the "Swearing is for ALL occasions" belief. So now, due to Steve's swearing abstinence, Tony was determined to find some way, some situation, to get Steve to swear.

He would need help though. That wasn't hard; with Stark Tower now being used as the headquarters (and living quarters) of all the Avengers, all he would need to do would be confront anyone who he thought could help him pull this off, preferably with Steve not around.

But who to pick? Who would help him the most? Hmmm… Banner, definitely, because as much of a reclusive nerd he tried to appear to be, he was secretly a prankster at heart. Well, a nerdy prankster, really, since most of his pranks involved chemicals and timers (so that he could get away to a safe distance so as not to give himself away, and so he wouldn't turn into his alter-ego green rage monster.)

Then, Tony would confront Natasha. She absolutely loved to use everyone's fears against them; he could get her to spy on Steve and figure out what Steve's biggest fear was. Everyone always swears when confronted with their biggest fear. Always. That, and he could get Barton to help her; they worked well as a team.

Thor wouldn't understand the point of the pranking, or how any of the technology that would possibly be used in the pranking worked, so he wasn't an option.

Tony sat in his laboratory, rubbing his hands together in childlike glee. This would be so, so good.

I promise the next chapter WILL be longer! PROMISE!
