There were a lot of things the Avengers didn't know about Tony Stark. One of them was that he had trainimg equilevant to that of an assassin. It would have remained as a secret if it weren't for a little game of truth and dare.

You see, after a mission the Avengers decided to have a party in which almost all of them got drunk (Steve can't get drunk, as usual) and Tony suggested a game of truth and dare. They all agreed, and Clint added that there must be a truth after three dares and vice versa so that everyone learned some secrets of each other.

After accepting three dares, Tony had to choose a truth and Natasha, who was pissed that others asked questions about her childhood, asked him when was the first time he killed someone with a gun.

"Hmm..." Tony looked up thoughtfully and said, " when I was 7."

Everyone laughed.

"Are you serious?"

"Kills with toys don't count, Stark!"

"Who gave you that gun, anyway?"

"I pulled it out from my shoe."

"Why the hell would you have a gun in your shoes when you were 7?"

"Those shoes and a lockpicking watch were birthday presents from my grandarents."

"What are they? Super spies?"

"Mm-hm."

Suddenly Thor's booming voice barged in. "I would like to hear Friend Tony's tale of such battle he fights so fiercely when he was young."

"Great idea, my dear friend. Then 'Tasha here can tell if he is lying or not!"

"Fine, Shakespear, listen up. On my seventh birthday, someone came in and kidnapped me. They locked me up with handcuffs on the wall and threw knives at me because my father couldn't care less again. I pushed the knob on my watch and the lockpickers I upgraded began picking the locks themselves. Meanwhile, the bad guys were bored so they left. I freed myself and tried to leave. I found other people who were locked up so I freed them too. Then the bad guys caught up so I pulled out the gun and shot them. All of them were head shots, the ones that would get you 10 points. Afterwards we all found the way out and I went home. I told my mom what happened and she told me that I didn't have to kill all those people, but I could just fight them. That's when I realized I killed someone when I was seven."

Clint stared at him, his eyes as wide as a goldfish's. "Jeez, that can't be true. Nat, tell me he's lying."

"He does not seem to be lying."

Then Natasha sprung up and attacked Tony. It took him three seconds to pin her down.

"You know what? You fight like a little girl I know."

Natasha tried to move but she couldn't. All the Avengers were gaping like a gold fish. Tony let her go.

"You know what? Let's just finish the game."

They could only nod.

The next day, they saw that Steve scribbled something on the rules: Do not try to piss Clint or Natasha off, or else you shall die a painful death. ^
