Hey all! So here's the next chapter, the chapter you've been waiting for! Mwhahaha!
'Kay, just kidding:) Anyway, this chapter was a request from kimbee, who wanted to see Thor battle a tomato. I'll shut up now so you can read my awesomeness. XD
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Avengers of Marvel. (boo hoo...)
As Thor had managed not to piss anyone off for a week, the other Avengers had decided to let him help out with dinner that night. Thor, relieved to have not been attacked in a decent while, had regained his usual personality and no longer acted like a kicked puppy. Currently Steve was cooking while Thor was chopping the salad.
"What is this strange food?" Thor asked, holding up a tomato.
"That?" Steve said, glancing over. "That's a tomato. It's a..." Steve struggled here, trying to remember if it was a fruit or vegetable. "It's...Just chop it up and put it in the salad."
Thor nodded and chopped the tomato. He was doing a pretty good job until he squeezed it a little to hard and a squirt of juice shot into his eye, making him drop the knife on the cutting board.
"AAAAH! MY EYE! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! WE MUST KILL THE TINY RED BALLS OF HORROR!" Thor screamed, causing the glass milk jug Steve was carefully pouring to shatter, also getting bits of glass in the perfect meal he had been preparing. The meal that had been cooked just the right amount, the first meal he hadn't needed to ask the help of one of the others, the first meal he hadn't blown up...
"Thor!" Steve yelled in outrage. Crossing the kitchen, he lobbed a tomato in the god's eye, were it split open and got even more juice in his eye.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! MY POOR EYE! I AM BLIND! NOOOOOOOOO!" Thor screamed, even louder. All at once, the kitchen windows, the glass spice jars, the glass mixing bowl, and Bruce's favorite ceramic mug broke, ranging from long jagged cracks to fine powdered glass chips.
At that moment the rest of the tower's occupants burst in. They all stood in stunned silence as they took in the shards of glass, milk on the floor, Thor sobbing in pain, and Steve looking ready to murder.
Finally, Bruce broke the silence.
"What happened?" He asked, sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Steve opened his mouth, but Thor beat him. "THE LITTLE RED BALLS ATTACKED ME!" He wailed.
Bruce went over to the cutting board and examined the tomatoes. "Thor, they didn't attack you, you just got some of the juice in your eye. Your going to be..." He was going to say "fine" but then he noticed his favorite mug in pieces on the counter.
"...dead." He finished turning to Thor with a glint of green replacing his usual brown. Tony, who saw the mug, jumped forward to place a hand on Bruce's arm.
"Whoa there, big guy. I can always get you another cup," Tony chided, but Bruce shook him off, still looking at the remains of the mug.
"No, you can't," he said sadly. "That was the cup that Betty gave me once for Christmas years ago, it was one of the few things I kept with me when I went to India. You can't replace it, ever."
There was a silence while all the Avengers thought about what Bruce had said. Suddenly Natasha struck out at Thor, preforming the Bastard Thigh Grip on the unfortunate god, spurring the others into action as they all—including Loki and Pepper—avenged the broken mug.
"MERCY, I BEG YOU!" Thor cried. "TWAS A MISTAKE! THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES!"
His efforts were futile. By the time Bruce's mug had been avenged Thor had sworn never to so much as look at a little red ball of horror ever again.
He he! So there it is! I hope you liked it:D
...Maybe I'm being to mean to Thor. Am I being to mean? I suppose I could call it revenge on Thor for being such a terrible brother to Loki... ;)
Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Like I said, I love feedback and I'm completely open to prompts and fruit requests!
And speaking of feedback, please review! Because if you don't, bad things will happen! (Bruce didn't review my last chapter, and I warned people that if they didn't Thor would break their favorite mug, and behold! It has happened to Bruce! Don't make the same mistake!)
I'll see y'all on Tuesday!
