Dinking with Natasha Romanov was always an event. You don't drink with Natasha for fun, you do it for the challenge. Thor, who was over 1000 years old on Asgard (around 23 in human years) and could hold his liquor like a champion, failed to listen to the warning given to him about his teammates.
"Thor buddy, I've drunk with Natasha before I quit drinking. We were at this party and she drank ME under the table. I was the worlds biggest alcoholic at the time and she drank ME under the table. I wouldn't mess with her if I were you Pointbreak."
"Thor, before SHIELD fell I saw Natasha send 8 agents to the hospital with alcohol poisoning and she didn't even flinch. I'd be careful if I were you."
"Thor, I'm not a medical doctor. Yes, I have a bit of training and can help but if this challenge gets you sick, you're on your own pal."
"Thor, what you're suggesting is possibly the worlds stupidest idea. Trying to go shot for shot with Nat is like feeding a gremlin after midnight. You won't win. It's a death sentence. I don't care of you're a god. It's a god damn death sentence. Trust me, I've made the same mistake you're about to when I was younger, and Nat and I had just met. Don't go through with this if you want to leave with your liver and dignity intact."
The challenge day was set, and everyone was ready to see what would happen. Thor would be providing the alcohol and Natasha would be providing the laughs. This was a big deal with a lot on the line. If Thor somehow won, he would have Natasha do all his chores around the tower for a week. If Natasha won, she was going to use Thor's face to make a hair and makeup tutorial for YouTube. Natasha didn't even like those videos. She just thought that it would we humiliating for Thor.
The night of the challenge, the whole team were gathered in the living room with medical on speed-dial. Nat and Thor were sitting across from each other in the kitchen, a shot glass in one hand and a bottle as some high-proof Asgardian alcohol in the other.
"You ready big guy?" asked Natasha. A sinister smile played on her lips.
"Naturally!" Thor smiled back. "May the strongest drinker win." And with that, they downed their first shot.
"How do you feel Natasha? This drink is not for the faint of heart."
"I'm good. No change. Let's keep going."
They took another shot. The rest of the team watched in anticipation. Thor and Natasha glared at each other. They took another shot. By the time they were at 5 shots, Thor was starting to feel a little buzzed. Natasha looked unaffected. They kept drinking. By the time they reached 8 shots, Thor was starting to feel dizzy and his eyes were a bit unfocused. Natasha just smiled at him. By the time they had reached 10 shots, Thor was pretty sure that he was going to pass out. Natasha was slumped just a little bit in her chair but otherwise looked just fine. At shot number 13, Thor fell out of his chair and passed out on the floor. Natasha was declared the victor and Thor was taken to medical to sober up.
"Well team I think we've found The Black Widow's superpower." Spoke Clint as Thor was carried away. "It's not stealth or any of that. It's the inability to be affected by alcohol. Even that 100 proof Asgardian stuff." The team just nodded, and Nat smiled back at them. How was she even human?
Two weeks later saw Natasha and Thor setting up a camera and ring light in the living room. Thor looked a little displeased. Not at having his hair and make-up done, he was fine with that. No, he was mad about losing the challenge set for him. Thor never lost, and the fact that he lost a drinking challenge was just something he never thought possible. Never the less, he had lost and now had to pay the penalty.
Set up in front of the two, but out of the camera frame, were a whole bunch of different make-up pallets, foundations, lipsticks, and glitter. Thor was absolutely on board with the glitter. Thor loved the stuff. Whenever he was doing crafts with Tony's young son Carter, Thor always made sure to include some glitter. Everyone else hated that fact that the glitter got everywhere, but Thor didn't care. It was colourful, and it sparked. Who doesn't love sparkles?
"Alright Thor, you ready?" asked Natasha as she checked the framing of the camera. Thor gave a thumbs up and they began.
"Hello internet, my name is Natasha Romanov and today I'll be showing you a tutorial for my perfect Friday night look. Here today to help me is my friend Thor." Said Natasha in an overly girly voice. It just sounded wrong.
"Alright, guys let's get started. First, we need to brush out all the tangles." Natasha began brushing out Thor's hair. It wasn't that tangled, but the brush still hit a few snags. Once Thor's hair was tangle free, Natasha proceeded to give his hair that wavy, beachy look. He looked a bit like a cross between a surfer dude and a sorority girl at a luau.
"Alright friends, now that we've achieved our perfect hair, we're ready to move onto the face. I like to start with this MAC eyeshadow, cool neutral pallet so that we can have a more natural base for the darker colours we're going to add."
Thor closed his eyes and let Natasha go to town on his face. He tried to keep from sneezing as Natasha's hand brushed across his nose.
"Now for my personal favourite part, the glitter. I like to use MAC glitter gold for just a pop of sparkle."
Thor kept his eyes closed as Nat applied the sparkly substance liberally to his eyes. Natasha than proceed to expertly put perfect winged eye-liner on top of his eyes. His face was starting to itch a bit. To finish off with the eyes, Natasha glues some massive fake eyelashes to his face.
"Now that our eyes are done, we can move onto the rest of the face." Natasha continued her narration as she began to contour Thor's face. Before it was all blended together he looked a bit like a clown. Once it was blended together he looked much better. After all the foundation was done, Natasha applied a deep red lipstick to Thor's lips and he was done.
Once Thor was able to look at himself in a mirror he had to admit, he looked hella sexy. Natasha knew what she was doing. The video was later posted online with the title "Thor lost a bet" and the internet ate it up. All in all, it was good fun, and everyone had a good laugh. Thor even enjoyed it a bit, even if his pride still hurt from losing the initial challenge that landed him in this position.
