-Stark's Minivan-1:28-
"Who's hungry?" Tony chirped with a great big smile on his face.
"Stark..." Steve said warningly.
"What?" Iron man bat his dark lashes innocently at the Captain.
"Nooooooo!." Clint groaned. As he caught on. "Don't even suggest it!"
"But-"
"If you make us eat shawarma ONE MORE TIME!" Natasha seethed, glaring daggers at the billionaire.
"You'll what?" Tony snapped. "Please share, oh famous Black Widow. Oh! Is that why you always wear black? Hmm. You should seriously try like a pink, or maybe a nice sea foam green..."
"Я убью тебя. медленный...но до этого я позволю твоей девушке убить тебя за то, что ты идиот.Небеса знают, чего она хотела почти десять лет." she muttered, and Clint choked on his coffee. (I'll kill you. slowly, but before that I'll let your girlfriend kill you for being an idiot. Heaven knows that's what she has wanted to do for almost ten years.)
"I'm just going to pretend I understood that." Tony rolled his eyes.
"Fine. Yo, Jarvis? What's the closest burger joint?"
"There are four hamburger restaurants within five minutes of your current location. Would you like a list?"
Before Tony could answer, Loki laughed. "Obviously that voice is your Artificial Intelligence."
"Obviously?" Tony turned to look at him, letting Jarvis drive.
"Yes, mortal. 'Obviously.'" He observed the curious faces around him in some dark amusement. "Your Jarvis has the same accent as I do. Clearly that displays more intelligence than a mere human has. Since I have never known any mortal to be my equal in intelligence, it must be an artificial intelligence."
"Ooooooh!" Clint smirked, punching Loki on the shoulder (albeit a little harder than necessary) "Buuurn!"
Tony didn't miss a beat. "But I sorta created Jarvis. Thus, I am above Jarvis. Since you so Shakespearianly stated that you and Jarvis are equal," Tony faked a gasp. "You are apparently lower than me. But don't be offended. I'm just the smartest guy in the room."
"Double buuurn!" Clint sang, and the other avengers could hardly keep their smiles contained.
"Oh, yeah?" Stephen chuckled. "Then I'm above you all, because I'm a Ph.D, MD, and Master sorcerer. Stark is just a glorified hacker/mechanic. Without a doctor, he would've died of shrapnel."
"Oh, and pray tell how exactly you hurt your lovely little paws?" Tony pretended to think about this, while Strange glared. "Oh, yes! A machine! Darn it, too bad you didn't have your own personal AI to drive your oh-so-important rear to whatever it was you were going to."
Strange gave Tony a half-lidded look, and Peter pulled out his phone to record any further argument.
However, they were all thrown forward when the vehicle they were in stopped suddenly.
Peter's spider reflexes had him with one arm around his aunt (to protect her) and another arm around the super soldier (just because Peter felt a tad safer holding onto the legend) in a split second. Steve had grabbed Banner's collar, but the scientist' glasses still flew off his face. Loki hadn't moved a muscle, except a nearly-unnoticeable arm across Bruce who sat beside him. It was mainly due to this tiny movement that Banner hadn't gone flying forward.
Stephen's cloak had kept him in his seat, and to the sorcerer's irritation, said cloak had also found it necessary to wrap partly around Tony as well.
Only Nat and Clint were wise enough to have secured their seat belts beforehand.
"JARVIS!" Tony bellowed, swatting Stephen's cloak from his face. "WHAT THE-"
"Language!" Steve hissed, covering Peter's ears.
"I didn't say anything Rogers. But as I was saying before: JARVIS! WHY?"
He couldn't say for certain, but Tony was almost positive the AI sounded smug when he replied. "Terribly sorry about that. We're here, sir."
-Stan's Savory Stuff-1:34-
"What is this vile contraption?"
Loki sniffed in disgust, staring down at the greasy double cheeseburger. They were all scrunched into one booth at an unknown burger restaurant, and everyone else was eating their food.
"It's food, dude." Peter states with his mouth full. His brown eyes widened in horror as the god raised a jet-black eyebrow. "Um, I mean-"
"This is what mortals eat? No wonder you are so pathetic. I can hardly believe that you idiots call this," he gestured in disgust to the burger. "Sustenance. It's revolting."
"Yeah. And who tried to take over the world with an ARMY, and was stopped by six people? Oh, wait." Stephen strange rolled his eyes. "It was you!" He snorted out a laugh. "And Wong thought I was eccentric!"
Tony smiled widely at the sorcerer. "Well, apparently he was wong in his assumptions."
Stephen glared at him. "Don't..."
"Whaaat?" Tony snickered, poking Bruce with his elbow just in case he hadn't caught onto the joke. "Is something WONG?"
Bruce smiled faintly, and resumed eating his greasy meal.
"C'mon Loki." Rogers encouraged the newest avenger, trying to make him more comfortable. "Just try it."
Loki scrunched his nose at the burger again. "And you are sure this is fit for consumption?"
Clint shrugged. "Never said you should be eating it, or that it's healthy. We just said it's good."
"They're just trying to help you warm up to the team." May offered helpfully, patting Loki's hand.
A small smile cracked on Loki's face, then he started chuckling.
"It wasn't that funny." Steve said, confused. The blonde turned to the archer. "Was it?"
Clint shook his head, and Nat smiled along with Loki, getting the irony.
"I'm a Jotun." Loki chuckled.
Everyone just stared.
"And Lady May told me that you are trying to help me warm up..."
Banner was the first one to get it, and everyone stared in amazement as the curly-headed scientist burst out into laughter, his face turning red and tears forming in his eyes.
"Umm... did I miss something?" Tony wondered aloud.
Nat looked at Strange, and he looked at Loki. "Jotun." The doctor muttered, then smiled. "I get it."
Clint laughed as Nat whispered in his ear, and Peter's sensitive hearing caught onto her words, and he also started laughing.
Tony looked around, bewildered. "What is wrong with all of you?"
"Mr. Stark, a Jotun is a frost giant!" Peter giggled.
Tony rolled his eyes, but couldn't help the smile that slid onto his face. "Oh please. That isn't even that funny, Reindeer Games." He said, addressing Loki.
"It apparently is, considering that all of you are laughing. At something I said, to make it even stranger!" His grin didn't falter, but he did add under his breath: "and you're not trying to kill me anymore, either!"
