Alright, we've got some crazy shenanigans this chapter. Enjoy!

The Avengers sat in a row of chairs, handcuffed to one another, at the police precinct. The officers at the precinct had given each of the Avengers one free phone call but the Avengers had yet to make those phone calls. No matter who they called, they were going to be in deep shit. They couldn't call Happy back at the tower because he was in just as much trouble as they were. Pepper would be so furious that Tony hadn't called her back yet that she probably wouldn't even care if the rest of the Avengers were in jail. The only person that was left was Fury, and they doubted they could even reach the SHIELD base from the measly payphone they were instructed to use.

After much deliberation, Steve decided to take one for the team by calling Fury himself. As he got up from his chair, he pulled his teammates along with him. Steve tugged at the handcuff on his wrist – dragging his teammates along with him – and made his way over to the payphone a couple feet away.

Steve dropped his coin into the slot and dialed the only number he knew to contact the SHIELD base. It wasn't a direct number and he would have to be patched through an operator before he actually got a hold of Fury, but it was the only way he knew to contact him. When the operator answered, he asked to be patched through to Fury at the SHIELD base in New York City. When the operator asked Steve to state his reason, Steve only responded with a measly answer about the destruction of Las Vegas.

The operator told him to hold and classical music started playing. Steve knew he didn't have long until time ran out on the payphone. Just when he thought the phone was about to cut off, Fury answered and Steve quickly blurted out everything he could recall from the last 24 hours.

"I know, Captain. Why do you think I haven't contacted any of you?" Fury said once Steve had stopped rambling.

"Wait, so you know?" Steve asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Of course I know! I haven't contacted any of you because I'm trying to clean up your mess," Fury said angrily. "And it seems like you aren't trying to fix anything yourselves because you're currently at Las Vegas Police Department precinct number 21."

"What are you doing? Tracking us?" Steve asked.

"No, you came up in the criminal database as we were working on clean up for Las Vegas," Fury said bluntly.

"So, you're not going to help us at all?" Steve asked disappointedly.

"You can save the world from Loki and his army. I think you guys can get yourselves out of a bit of a mess with the Vegas police."

Steve nodded and heard Fury about to hang up when Steve shouted for him to wait. "Stark doesn't happen to…be at the base, is he?" Steve said uneasily.

"I know he's not with you guys," Fury said. "So where is he?"

"We don't know. We're extremely hungover and we can't remember a thing from last night. When we woke up, Tony wasn't with us."

Fury let out a string of curses and Steve pulled the phone away from his ear. "This isn't my fucking problem! Figure it out yourselves!" With that, Fury hung up and the line went dead. Steve slammed the phone back into its holster and motioned for his teammates to return to their seats.

As Steve sat down, he began to debrief his teammates on his phone call with Fury. Bruce and Thor sat in silence as Steve recounted his conversation with the one-eyed director of SHIELD, while Clint looked angry. Natasha rolled her eyes at her partner as he angrily let out a string of curses to express how he felt about the entire situation.

"Well what the fuck did you expect? This is Fury we're talking about, Clint," Natasha said to him once he calmed down.

Steve was about to mention how Fury didn't even care to help find Tony when a police officer came out to shepherd them into an interrogation room. Steve got up and dragged him teammates along with him as he followed the officer down the hall. They were directed into a room with five chairs on one side of a table and two chairs on the other. The police officer unlocked the handcuffs and ordered them to sit down and wait for the police officers that arrested them to show up.

The Avengers each took a seat and waited in silence for the police officers to enter the interrogation room. After a couple minutes, the officers entered the room in silence and sat down in their chairs, the legs of the chairs scraping across the floor as they pulled them out. Both officers checked over their notes in silence before addressing the Avengers.

"Okay, good news and bad news," the male officer said. "The good news is…we're big fans." The female officer nodded in agreement. "The bad news," the male officer continued, "is we can't get you in front of a judge for another week. We can let the destruction to the city slide because you practically did the same thing to New York City not too long ago, but stealing a cop car and disorderly conduct is absolutely unacceptable."

"Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me!" Clint whined from Natasha's right.

"Easy Katniss," the male officer said. When the officer caught the look on Clint's face, he said, "Yeah, you're the one with the bow and arrows right?"

"Look, officer. We have a wedding to be at on Sunday. Not only can we not be detained here for an entire week, we have to find the groom for said wedding. Is there any way we can get released and then come back next week?" Steve finished his spiel and then tacked a huge grin onto the end of it. The female officer pursed her lips and then rustled through the papers on the desk. She checked over the paper and then slid it sideways to her male partner. He read the paper and then guffawed, the sound echoing throughout the room.

"Oh this will be too good!" the male officer exclaimed. He composed himself, and looked at the Avengers. "So, I'm not really going to ask your permission for this. If you can defeat those alien creatures that wreaked havoc on New York City, I'm pretty sure you can handle this. Come with me."

The male officer got up from the table and then headed towards the door, motioning for the Avengers to follow him. One by one, the Avengers rose from their seats and filed out of the interrogation room to their doom.


"Today we are going to demonstrate the use of the Taser," the male officer announced to a room filled with school kids. "And today, we have some very special guests! Please welcome, the Avengers!"

The school kids started to cheer as the Avengers filed into the room one by one. Bruce was shaking as soon as the male officer announced that they were going to demonstrate the use of the Taser on them. He had already let the Other Guy win last night by wreaking havoc on the city of Las Vegas. The last thing he wanted was for the Other Guy to come out in the presence of small children.

"Okay, so there's the simple close contact use of the Taser…" the male officer trailed off as he pressed the Taser gun to an unsuspecting Clint and watched as he convulsed then crumpled to the floor when he retracted the gun. The male officer moved onto Natasha but she grabbed his wrist and squeezed as hard as she possibly could.

"Come near with that and I break your wrist," Natasha said icily. The male officer gulped and his eyes flitted over to Bruce, who was standing next to Natasha. Natasha noticed that the male officer was looking at Bruce so glared at him and pursed her lips. "Touch Bruce with that Taser and you will sincerely regret it. Got it?" The officer nodded and put the Taser gun on the table and composed himself before turning back to his audience.

"Then there's also the gun with the cartridges that you can shoot from a distance," the officer announced as he loaded the cartridge into a separate Taser gun. "You, Star Spangled Banner, get over here." The officer motioned for Steve to join him. Steve sidestepped past Natasha who was currently trying to coax Clint out of unconsciousness.

"Now, I'm just going to take a couple steps back, aim, and fire," the male officer said, stepping backwards. Once he reached his position, he aimed his gun at Steve, who furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Wait, what are y - ," Steve started but didn't get to finish because he was hit in the groin with the most intense pain he'd ever felt. He convulsed at the shock that was sent throughout his body and he fell to the floor in pain. The pain stopped when the officer stopped the shock waves by releasing his finger from the trigger.

As Steve lay on the floor catching his breath, he heard his audience laughing uncontrollably. It was a form of torture in the cruelest and stupidest way possible. But there was nothing they could do about it. The Avengers needed to do this to get out of this mess and this was the only way possible.

"Alright pretty boy, get up and get out of the way. We have one more demonstration," the male officer said. Steve grunted as he pushed himself off of the floor. He hoped the Super Soldier Serum would kick in soon and heal him. He didn't like the feeling he had right now.

"Alright, last cartridge," the male officer announced to the school kids. "Does anyone want to try it out on the big guy over there?" The school kids were immediately excited as their hands shot up in the air to volunteer. The male officer scanned over the kids and picked a boy from the back of the room.

Rising from his chair in the back of the room, the Avengers recognized the boy as the boy they met earlier who wanted Tony's autograph. Thor stepped up to the front of the room to confront the boy but was met with an intense gaze. The boy was handed the Taser gun and immediately pointed it at Thor, but hesitated to pull the trigger.

Thor narrowed his eyes to slits as he stared at the boy and the boy stared right back. The boy aimed the Taser gun at several different places, ultimately letting it fall between Thor's eyes. Before the boy pulled the trigger, he stuck his tongue out at Thor and let it go. When the shocks hit Thor, he felt like he could only be slowed down but not completely incapacitated. He took a step towards the boy and shouted, "You dare take down the mighty Thor!"

A girl seated in the first seat shrieked as Thor took a couple more steps towards the boy. Thor was stumbling towards the boy but the male officer just chuckled as he whipped out another Taser gun.

"The bigger guys sometimes just need a little something extra." He brought the second Taser gun to Thor's neck, shocking him and letting him crumple to the ground in a heap. The school children, along with the male officer, laughed at the demigod's vulnerability.

"Okay kids, who wants to get their fingerprints done?" the male officer announced to the school children. The kids rushed out of their seats and out the door, leaving the male officers and the Avengers alone in the room.

"You can go see Sheila at the front desk about the paperwork to get you released," the male officer said to the Avengers, and with that, he exited the room.

The Avengers stared at the male officer as he left the room, completely confused as to what exactly just happened.


Uh oh! So Fury knows and doesn't really care. The Avengers apparently can't take on a little Taser. And Tony's still missing.
