Mini Adventure #6
With Avengers Tower having its own source of power and Tony upgrading the systems bi-monthly, it wasn't often that something broke down. If something in the tower did break down, Tony could easily fix it with some help from Bruce or Natasha. Tony even had Steve make sure that no one especially Clint didn't bother them.
Unfortunately, the dryer in the laundry room had broken down earlier, so if anyone was doing laundry it'd have to be put out on a line or it'd have to wait. This didn't settle with Clint much at all, he would almost constantly ask if the dryer was fixed yet, but Steve always replied that Tony was the only one fixing the dryer because Bruce accidentally Hulk-ed out.
So for most of the after noon, Tony was dealing with the dryer, occasionally calling Natasha in to hold the flashlight when both of his hands were occupied with certain parts. The red-head didn't mind at all, plus she had interesting conversations with Tony while he worked.
"And... there we go." Tony asked as he closed up the back of the dryer "All fixed, she'll run like a dream now."
Natasha turned off the flashlight "Good work Stark, now we better Barton know, Cap's probably starting to get annoyed with him."
"If Hunger Games hasn't been knocked out cold yet, I'm giving Cap a medal of patience." Tony stated
Luckily for Clint, he had the bright idea to stop bothering Steve when the super solider gave him a warning glare. So Clint was unharmed and relieved to hear that the dryer was finally fixed. The archer wasted no time in leaving the common room to do his laundry much to the relief of Steve who went back to the sketches he had worked on. With Clint out of the room and it going mostly quiet, Hulk walked in and lightly sat down on the floor to watch TV.
For the next couple hours Tony, Natasha, Steve and Hulk enjoyed the peace of the common room. Hulk watched his favorite TV shows while Natasha read a new book, Tony worked on some digital blueprints on his tablet and Steve finished his sketches. It was perfect really, the only noise coming from the TV and light mumbling from Tony while he worked.
"This is nice." Steve stated
"Indeed it is." Natasha agreed as she shifted
Tony nodded "It's nice and quiet when Clint has something to do... maybe I should have him paint the garage."
Suddenly the four heard something coming down the hall toward the common room, none of them had ever heard anything like this before, what was going on? Soon enough the answer to their question appeared, hop-walking into the common room was Clint. Instantly, Tony started chuckling while Natasha ans Steve tried to hold back their laughter.
"Is... something wrong Clint?" Tony asked still chuckling
"I think you fixed the dryer too well." Clint replied
Steve stifled his laughter a bit "What makes you say that?"
The dark blond archer hop-walked further into the room making Natasha go into a fit of giggling, the Hulk watched the awkward movements with a smile.
"I shrank my underwear in the dryer." Clint replied
Hulk clapped "Do that funny walk again."
Clint snorted "I'm so glad you find this amusing."
With that said, Clint moved out of the room just as awkwardly as he came in. Not being able to hold it in any longer Tony, Natasha, Steve and Hulk busted out in full-on loud laughter.
This chapter as A LOT of fun to write and type, I could hardly keep myself from laughing! I know Clint's getting the brunt again, but it's still funny! I know that there's Clint fans out there and I'm sorry if you're upset about him being the brunt of the joke. But that's what makes it fiction.
