A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I also apologize for the shortness of this chapter!
The group sat around the fire as Tony paced in front of them.
"So…what's the point of this game?" Maria asked, raising an eye brow at Tony, her gaze never leaving the flashlights in his hands.
"To be the last man…or woman…standing."
Pepper sighed.
"What is this game you want to play, Tony?" She asked, rocking Jason to sleep as she sighed once more.
"Manhunt. How you play is that one or two people have a flashlight and the others hide. The people with the flashlights have to find the others. Rules are simple. There are no rules, but Thor, you can't use your hammer." He explained, looking at the God who sulked as he dropped his hammer on the rocky beach, as gently as possible.
"Well, I'm not playing. I'll stay and keep Pepper company and read." Bruce said, giving the woman a soft smile.
"But Bruce! You have to play! You played paintball." Betty protested, sighing as her green eyes looked into his brown ones.
"Yes, but that was different. It was therapy."
Tony sighed and closed his eyes before looking back at the others.
"No. Everyone's playing and that's final. Even you, Pepper. Roxy can watch Jace."
Pepper raised an eye brow.
"Really? You trust a Rottweiler with the care and safety of our son?" She asked, handing the infant to Maria before the other woman could protest, so she could put her hands on her hips.
"Yes. Just like when Jack was practically in charge of protecting Rose, Roxy will protect Jace."
"Rose and Jack are fictional characters in Titanic…" Pepper started, trailing off as she slowly let his words sink in.
"And that was a very romantic movie! I would die for you like he did for Rose…I mean it reminds me of us. Realistically, if one of them had gotten into the life boat, Leonardo and Kate would've lived happily ever after."
Natasha put her head in her hands.
"Seriously, Stark? You did not just compare your marriage to Titanic!"
"That's the worst thing you could do!" Clint agreed, looking back and forth between Pepper, whose face was red with fury, and a confused Tony.
"Aye. One does not simply compare their relationship to a movie that ends in tragedy." Thor said, while Pepper's glare never wavered as she grabbed Jace from Maria and went back to her tent.
"You are so screwed." Steve stated, causing the billionaire to smack him in the back of the head, earning a death glare from Maria.
"Thank you, Capsicle. I did not know that." He replied sarcastically, moving to follow Pepper, only for Jane to hold him back.
"What she needs right now is to calm down. I know when I'm upset I want to be left alone. Leave it until after we play, so this way she has enough time to calm down and won't be as upset when you talk." Jane said calmly, getting up as everyone else dispersed into the woods.
Thor and Tony were the first ones to be the "taggers"
This night was not going to end well.
