The small gathering of Avengers went back into the smoke filled room, arguing about the right components of an apple pie. Fans in the ceiling, having been activated by JARVIS, started clearing the smoke for yet another attempt of Bruce, Tony, and Clint's.

Agent Philip J. Coulson, otherwise known as The Agent, then questioned the energy sector head, "Can you explain what exactly is going on?"

"Well, you see Agent it all happened when Lucille meet the Captain. She had grown up listening to stories of him, her great-uncle was a member of the 107th that the Captain rescued on his own. Her whole family looks up to the Captain; so when he actually agreed to meet them it was a glorious moment for their family history. That leads to Lucille baking him a pie each week, to show her gratitude for how he saves the world and people, basically doing his job; also how her family hounds her to make an impression on the Captain.

"He actually didn't want to accept the pies in the beginning, however they just kept showing up at his doorstep and everywhere he went. Eventually he tried one, and well Lucille's pies aren't well known for nothing. They're addictingly good. I have no clue what she does differently (she taught me how to bake one), because they're nothing like how mom makes them."

"Maybe we should recruit her. Have the bad guys surrender just for a slice of pie..." The Agent trailed off, thinking of the possibilities of apple pie.

"She would be happy to help, as long as it's for a good purpose." Another explosion racked the building. The door to the kitchen, or lab as the three Avengers were using it as, swung open and crashed into the wall. Smoke bellowed out, bringing with it the smell of burnt apples.

"Stark! What was that you poured into the pot?" A smoldering Doctor Banner coughed.

Stark looked a bit troubled and flinched some before finally answering, "Just a drop of experimental juice I've been working on."

"Is that why it exploded earlier, Stark?" Baited Clint, who was wiping pieces of crust off of him, some escaping notice like the few in his hair.

"Actually, that explosion was all on you bird." Stark fired back. Normally Stark trying to be menacing, under everyday occurrences was funny; however missing bits of hair, which includes his eyebrows, helped him to accomplish that feat.

Soon enough they were all involved in another argument that would lead to a full out brawl. Then the elevator opened revealing the Captain.

"Afternoon Coulson, Kari. They still hadn't figured it out?" He sat down by the two, placing his package, on the table.

"They have not, and Lucille still refuses to bake them anything after they destroyed her fern." Kari continues to watch the fight, which surprisingly enough didn't bring out the Other Guy in Bruce. Guess he knew this wasn't important.

The Captain grinned and went to what was left of the kitchen for plates and utensils.

"Kari, would you mind cutting it while I get some coffee to go with it? Coulson, do you want coffee?" Captain offered after setting the items in his arms down.

"Milk, if you wouldn't mind."

The three were able to enjoy their slices of pie before the others realized that Lucille's pie was in the same room as them.

"Steve! Buddy, friend, pal! Have I told you how patriotic you look today?"

"Forget it Barton, the pie is mine."

"But they get to eat some!" Stark whined.

"That's because they didn't whine, beg, plead, steal, borrowed without permission, threatened, or try to commandeer my pie."

"Bruce, did you know that Captain America is selfish? I mean this is horrible!" "Stark." "Our Captain has been tarnished! All because of this pie!" "Stark!" "I mean who knows?" "STARK!" "It could have mind controlling capabilities- Barton! What is it? Am I not allowed to finish my thoughts?"

"Tony, they've finished the pie," Bruce sighed.

"What? No. No! NO!"

"That was delicious as always, give my thanks to Lucille, Kari, please. I'll see everyone later." Steve left as quiet as he entered; Stark, Bruce, and Barton stood still, looking depressed. Then Bruce hit both Clint and Tony upside the head and said,

"I told you we should have left that plant alone."
