i do not own the avengers i only own Stephan
Everything was silent. Stephan had pulled his knees to his chest. He looked like an afraid child. Tony was the first to speak.
"Well i'm not scared of you. I antagonize the hulk on a daily basis, so i'm not scared of a few shadows." He arrogantly said. The spie's were tenser than bowstrings. Their eyes locked on stephan. They studied his poster looking for anything threatening, or that would indicate he was lying. They looked into his eyes, and saw no deceit or malice in them. They relaxed. When he saw the spies relax. Stephan relaxes minutely. He looked at bruce and thor, with a hopeful look in his eyes. Bruce calmly assessed him. Then gave him a nod. Thor was harder for Stephan to read. Their eyes met. It looked like Thor was searching Stephans very soul. Stephan didn't blink the whole time.
"You have an unwavering gaze, a sign of a true hearted person. I think i could not hate nor fear you. Even if i tried." Thor intoned. They all heard the huge sigh Stephan released. He stretched.
"Oh. I forgot. I can teleport anywhere thro the shadows. The exception is using my own shadow, because i can not step in it." Stephan said. When Stephan finished, he stepped into the couch's shadow. He sunk into it, flashing them a smirk. "Try and find me i won't leave the room!" Bruce, Natasha, Clint, and Thor stood up from where they were sitting. Clint walked to the place he disappeared. Hesitated then stepped in to the shadow. His boot met solid tile. The spies were tense, looking everywhere. Natasha had crouched, and was looking under the furniture. He wasn't there. He had vanished.
"Stephan?" Bruce called. Stephan's voice came from the corner. It was the one that was covered in shadows.
"Over here." The spies spun to face it. Clint clicked on a flashlight. That had magically appeared in his hand, by his super spie ways. There was no one there. "Look up" Everyone followed the light up. Into the top of the corner. Stephan was sitting on a black beam, smirking at them. "No one ever looks up." He laughed. He slid forward off the beam. As soon as Stephan was off, it dissipated. He landed on the tiles with a small thud.
GRUMBLE
Stephan looked sheepish. "Got anything to eat." He demanded. It was their turn to look sheepish.
"Steve usually cooks" One of them admitted. He smirked.
" Do i have to do everything around here?" Stephan asked. He headed to the kitchen without waiting for an answer. There was silence for a minute. Then Clangs, Bangs, and the sound water running, floated into the living room from the kitchen. Tony tried to peek into the kitchen. A knife stuck itself into the wall, in front of his face. Before he could see. Stephan came and pulled it out of the wall.
"Don't even try." Was all he said. Before going back to cooking. He came out an hour later with a gigantic platter full of various sandwiches. As he came out Tony snuck in. Just when he set the platter down, a girly shriek came from the kitchen. Stephan winced. They all walked to the kitchen and looked in. Then stared in horror.
