Tony stared at the package sitting on his table.
It looks like a normal package.
It went through the normal security checks without being flagged as abnormal package.
It didn't blow up or make any noise. His name was mark clearly on the package with a few stamps and stickers on the outside. It wasn't very large or very heavy either.
He really didn't trust it because it came from them. He knew that Barton's sense of humor. He knew that bad things could be in the box. Of course, Barton could do some super spy's mind trap thing and the box could be perfectly normal.
"There is nothing wrong with the box, sir," Vision said behind him.
He nearly jumped when he turned around.
"You know…we are going to have to get you a bell," He said.
"I believe that is unwise, sir. There is organic material in the box. Nothing that I can detect that is harmful."
"You don't know Barton."
"I believe that he would cause you no harm."
He sighed as he stared at the box.
"Fine. If it exploded, I'm blaming you."
Carefully, he opened the box to reveal more boxes. He frowned as he picked up the first box on top. He opened the box to reveal…tomatoes. He picked up the note on top. From the previous notes, he knew that it was Barton and Lang's handwriting.
At La Tomatina, you must squash the tomatoes before throwing them.
11 out of the 12 tomatoes are real. One is not. You are going to have squash them all to find them. Good luck.
P.S: No cheating.
He chuckled a little bit. He set aside the box and opened the next box in the package. He frowned slightly. It was a ham. It was a greasy one at that. The next note was from Wilson and Rogers.
It is a tradition that the festival doesn't start until someone get the ham on top of a pole in the middle of the town. Normally, it doesn't happen. So, it starts with someone blowing water out of a water cannon. Not this year, man. Someone was impatient.
Either me or Clint was going to get it, Sam. Clint's way would have been dangerous.
And your way was better?
I followed the directions.
In other words, he climbed the pole in like 10 seconds.
He laughed. He picked another box with Vision's name in Wanda's handwriting on it.
"From Wanda," He said as he tossed the small box toward Vision. Vision caught the box and examined it. He watched as Vision opened the box. Vision smiled a little as he picked up a small container of something.
It was almost cute if he had any idea what it was about.
On the bottom of box, there was envelope. He picked the envelope up and open it. He burst out laughing when he saw the first picture. They were covered in tomatoes. He grinned as he flipped through the pictures. Lang squashing a tomato over Wilson's head. Wanda hitting Barton in the back with one. Rogers's face was bright with laughter as he tried to dodge all of the tomatoes.
It was great. Something tightened in his chest. On the last picture, it was a group picture of them standing there covered in tomatoes but seemed so damn happy. On the bottom, someone wrote….
The Secret Avengers at La Tomatina
He smiled for a moment before he flipped it over.
Maybe, next year, you can come too.
