Notes: Thanks again to my readers. You make my day.
This set is going to focus on the group as a whole, and one in particular will lead up to the next set of five I have planned, which will probably be posted on Friday. Thanks again for reading, and I hope you enjoy these. And if you finished reading this without having to say what the first bolded prompt is talking about, kudos to you.
Nakedly
Standing around a naked Bruce waiting for him to regain consciousness was becoming an average Tuesday. They usually stood in a ring around him facing outwards to protect him the best they could. It was Hawkeye who suggested that one time they should all strip before he woke up as a sign of solidarity. Cap chided him for suggesting something so rude in front of a lady. Black Widow responded with a raised eyebrow and lowering her front zipper two inches as a challenge to show just what kind of lady she was. Cap immediately blushed and averted his eyes.
Sensationally
While most of the coverage of them had been positive and grateful, there were a handful of reporters who kept a running tally of how much money was needed for structural repairs after battles.
"They should be grateful, too," Tony grumbled. "We're giving the city ample employment opportunities in construction. What other city can say that right now? Oh, and we're saving all of you."
"You should run for mayor on that platform," Barton suggested.
"I should," Stark answered, puffing his chest out slightly.
"You shouldn't," Pepper answered. "You can't sign that job over to me whenever you get bored."
Atheistically
It didn't take long for each apartment to embody the personality of its occupant. Steve's was always nice and neat. Bruce's was a series of evolving piles of data depending on what he was working on in the lab. No one could make heads or tails of it, but he swore it was an organized mess. Clint's was sterile, always ready to pick up and move. Natasha's echoed that, but still there were a smattering of knick-knacks she'd accumulated. Thor had screens covering the walls displaying images from Asgard as well as New Mexico depending on what he missed most.
Insubordinate
The younger man stood as Fury entered the small café. The Director waved him back down to his seat. "How's death treating you?"
"More coffee shop meetings than I expected. What do you need, sir?"
"You to come back."
"I thought it was agreed that it was best for team unity if I stayed dead."
"They can function as a team… mostly. But we still need them for individual assignments. Barton and Romanoff are making handlers quit left and right."
Coulson's response was to take a sip of his coffee.
"You're going to make me beg, aren't you?" sighed Fury.
Egoist
Even though he possessed the world's largest ego, Tony Stark still had a good heart. Metaphorically speaking. It was rare for him to be public about it, or probably for Tony to recognize it in himself, but it still made appearances often enough. The notion was obvious enough in his workshop particularly. While he could be verbally abusive to his helper bots, he always made sure to give them the best care he could provide and refused to go anywhere or fight anything if something wrong happened during an upgrade and his mechanical children were then sick and in danger.
