10. Never play hide and seek
Guess what I was? Bored. That seems to be a common theme. It's probably because no one pays any attention to me. Bruce and Tony are always off being science bros, Steve's always sketching or reading or watching TV, Thor's either on Asgard or complaining about the lack of Pop-Tarts, and Clint and Natasha are always busy dramatically denying their love for each other.
Alright, so maybe that last one isn't all that accurate, but it's just so hard to not ship them.
Anyway, like I said, I was bored. And that usually means that I'll end up messing something up. But that time, it was different.
On that day, a cold December day, I decided I wanted to play hide and seek. When I suggested it, Clint replied quickly with a 'that's a great idea,' while the rest of the Avengers glanced from me to Clint, their faces twisted in a way that made it look like they thought that we had just given birth to three platypi and an ostrich.
"That's a game for children," Tasha commented.
"Well, I am a child, and you guys act like children," I commented, earning me a few glares.
"I'll play, but only if I'm not 'it'," Tony said. Everyone else nodded, agreeing with Stark, except for Thor.
"What is this game you speak of?" The demi-god asked.
"Everyone goes and hides while one person counts to one hundred, and then that person has to go and find them," I replied.
"That does not sound too difficult."
"It's not," I stated, grinning. "I suppose I'll have to be 'it', since no one else wants to." I placed my hands over my eyes and turned to face the wall.
"One… two… three…" I heard everyone rushing out of the room. When I reached one hundred, I yelled at the top of my lungs. "Ready or not, here I come!" I looked around the room for any sign of the superheroes. I had spent the morning studying the room so that I would be ready for this.
There were three things that had moved. One, the door leading to the stairway had been opened.. Two, one of the ceiling panels had been moved slightly out of place. That would be Clint, I thought. And three, a closet door had been closed. A smirk quickly appeared on my face. I walked loudly towards the stairway and slammed the door, still inside the room. Then I crept silently towards the closet door. I opened it quickly. I was dismayed to find no one in the small room.
"It was a trick," I muttered, after glancing up at the ceiling to make sure no one had snuck out that way.
Two hours later, I hadn't found anyone except Bruce. He had stopped playing after about fifteen minutes and went to do science in his lab. I had already told JARVIS to tell them that I gave up, but no one had reappeared. I flopped down on the couch in my room, even more bored than I had been before.
Two days later, people finally started to reappear. Steve came into the kitchen early in the morning, muttering something about running out of food in his hiding place. Thor came crashing in through the window, confused as to why I hadn't found him. He had been in Norway.
It took two weeks for everyone to finally come back. Tony appeared on the couch one. Apparently, he had been in Bora Bora working on his tan. Pepper ignored him for the rest of the day. Everyone else thought she was mad because he left the day before an important meeting, but I think that she was mad because he hadn't taken her with him. Clint and Natasha dropped out of the ceiling while I was watching a movie. They explained that they kept enough food hidden up there to last them for two months, but they decided to leave their little hideaway, realizing that they had missed some very important TV episodes. They then stole the remote from me and shooed me away.
I banned hide and seek after that.
