Bruce reached the lab first, going by the elevator. All the way down he had tried to ask JARVIS what happened but all he got was a whole lot of static and... Was that polka music? Anyway he reached the two inch reinforced glass door and pushed it open.

At first glance nothing seemed amiss; nothing was spewing smoke nor were there any black burn marks; there was basically no sign of an explosion. Then he looked at the bar. Almost every single bottle had crashed onto the concrete floor and in the middle of the puddle of liquor and glass lay a quivering dark brown coated horse.

Actually horse wasn't really correct, he saw that when he came closer his shoes crunching some if the broken shards of glass: For starters it was a bit on the small size; about the size of a deer and it also had the cloven hooves of a deer. One other non-horseish thing about it was that it had a silkly lion tail.

And, yeah, and it, (no wait definitely a he)... he had a horn. It wasn't anything special, about the length of a ruler but definitely a horn in the centre of his forehead in the same dark brown tone as the animal's coat.

He also noticed that while the… unicorn? was twitching slightly he was completely unconscious. That was possibly due to shock; there was about a dozen shards of glass marring the coat and blood was slowly seeping out of several cuts.

A unicorn was strange enough as it was, but then Bruce saw a certain something and started having a terrible thought...

As he bent to examine the blue glowing circle in the equine's (or was it bovine's because of the cloven hooves?) chest, Clint dropped down soundlessly from a vent behind Bruce, only making his presence known when he remarked, "Considering this place was hit by an explosion that disabled JARVIS, not ten minutes ago…" he quickly scanned the laboratory and concluded his statement, "- it's in pretty good shape... What's with the horse? ... Is Stark doing animal testing?"

"No, I think-" Bruce started to explain, but Steve, Nat and Pepper chose that moment to enter cutting his explanation short.

They spread out in the lab and proceeded to bounce questions and theories off each other.

"Anything broken," questioned Steve, assessing the situation.

"Nothing but the alcohol," Clint said slight smirk on his face, he couldn't wait until he saw Tony's face about this; messing with his liquor was way too fun.

"That's fine, Tony has about six more bars," Pepper waved the damage away, "but where is he?"

"I think-" Bruce started again.

"Maybe he ran away to have a hissy fit because he exploded his scotch," Clint suggested.

The Avengers pondered it; they could all easily imagine Tony doing such a thing.

Then Steve broke the heavy silence by asking, "What's with the horse?

"Tony's gotten a pet," Clint said with a shrug.

"I don't think it is a horse; it has a horn," Natasha remarked.

"Uh" Bruce tried

"Huh, fancy that manly Stark has gotten himself a unicorn," Clint said, he was secretly, slightly jealous though.

"That's impossible, unicorns don't exist," said Pepper matter of factly.

"Guys-" Bruce complained rubbing his temples, still he was ignored.

"Neither did Norse gods!"

That's it, Bruce had been ignored enough, "Quiet and Listen!" he positively roared.

At once all silenced and glanced shamefully at Bruce, who took a deep breath and said, "I think, well..." and he gestured towards the ark reactor embedded in the unconscious animal's chest.

"...Holy shit," exclaimed Clint (Steve probably didn't like it, but he thought Cap could probably let it slide, given the situation) , "Tony's been turned into a unicorn!"

"..."

And that's when the billionaire, playboy philanthropist turned equine/bovine woke up with his whites showing in his wide eyes.


Da Da DAAAH!

This would've been up sooner but my laptop crashed and then I was busy with a birthday party… So yeah… sorry. But I think after writing it again, that it is a bit better.

Please review.

Next chapter will probably up tomorrow. (Australian time)

See you then.
