A/N: Hey guys! So, here's the next chapter, i'd like to thank Sello for the idea for this chapter. Enjoy!
The group sat in a circle half an hour later, why they were in a circle, no one but Brook knew.
"So...why are we on the floor?" Steve asked, scratching the back of his head in confusement.
"Well, since all you guys seem to do is insult one another, y'all are going to give an affirmation, or a compliment, about each and every person here. Understand? Good. Who wants to start?" Brook asked, looking at everyone as they groaned.
"Bruce?"
Bruce sighed and looked at everyone with kind eyes.
"Alright, uh...Maria and Natasha, I admire your dedication to SHIELD and your stubborn attitude..." He started, earning a slight nod from both women.
"Steve, you're focused and I don't know where we'd be without you. Tony, you're great at building things, I still ask my self how you built that suit in a cave in Afghanistan, you are and always will be my science brother. Clint, all I can say is...thank you for tranquilizing me when I get angry and let the "Other Guy" out, oh, Thor? You're almost as strong as I am, and you're the only one actually able to stand up to me." He finished, earning a pat on the back from Tony and Clint, a handshake from Steve, and a bone crushing hug from Thor.
"Thank you, friend Bruce, for such kind words!" Thor exclaimed, hugging him once more.
"Welcome...how about you let me go before someone gets hurt?" Bruce said, allowing for Thor to take the warning and release him.
"I guess i'll go next..." Clint said awkwardly, looking around until he found Brook, who sat in a new chair by the window.
"Go ahead, Clint." Brook said with a small smile.
"Alright, Natasha and Maria? I absolutely love how you two can kick ass and make other women feel ashamed of themselves. Steve, you keep the team together even through the toughest times. Tony...you're a good friend...no matter how annoying you get, you're like a brother to me and basically everyone here.. Oh and Bruce? Thanks for helping Tony make my tranquilizer arrows...and making sure Tony didn't blow up the lab while doing it. Thor? You give awesome hugs...even though you did nearly break my back while doing so." Clint said, pulling a resisting Natasha to sit in his lap, although she gave in and crossed her arms, spreading her feet out in front of her.
"Thank you, Clint...Natasha, would you like to go next?"
Natasha laughed harshly.
"I'd rather go to South Africa and feed my self to the Sharks."
Tony scoffed.
"Forget South Africa! Go to Queensland, a woman was mauled by three Bull Sharks in 2008."
"Yes, true. But South Africa has the biggest Sharks...well, seeing as a boy was also attacked by two of them a few years ago...He lived, but...South Africa is very tempting right now."
"How do you survive being attacked by two twenty foot long Sharks?" Clint asked, raising an eye brow as Natasha sat up.
Before she could respond, Tony cut in.
"Oh, I was watching that re run from Shark Week with Lili, one had the boys hand in his mouth, and the other moved for his head and shoulders, but veered away and hit the other Shark...and people say that my only talent is Science? Bitch please!"
Brook sighed, brushing a strand of black hair out of her face, she had no more patience for any of this.
"Look, i'm not in the mood, Natasha. ." She said through clenched teeth.
Natasha sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Fine. Let's see...Clint, you're the best partner I have, and thanks for being there for me. Maria, you're a great friend, thanks for slapping me back in that air vent. Steve, you're like a brother to me and you're a great person for Maria. Tony? Uhm...Ah fuck it! Thanks for putting up with me and you're like the very annoying brother I never had, you provided not only a home for me, but also a family. Bruce, you're a great Doctor and I never got to thank you for helping us locate the tesseract last year. Thor? You have a big mouth, but that's what I like about you." She explained, her green eyes looking at Brook as if to say, 'are you happy now?'
"You're welcome." Bruce said, breaking the awkward silence.
The assassin only nodded in response.
"Alright then, Tony?"
Tony sighed and took a sip from the silver flask, only for Bruce to take it and dump the rest of the contents in a potted plant behind him.
"Fine. Natasha and Maria? You guys are sexy as hell, but you scare the crap out of me. Oh and Maria? Thank you for not breaking anything important during your last suicidal tantrum. Thor, you're a Demi-God, but you're a brother to me, a very loud brother, but still...your other brother how ever, not so much. Bruce? I love how you go all commando and turn into a green rage monster, Steve, you're old enough to be my father, but you still look pretty good...all I can say is, I hope I look that good when i'm ninety. Clint? You're bad ass with a bow and arrow...how do you make them explode?" Tony asked.
Clint shrugged.
"Beats me. Ask my mentor, Trick Shot...oh wait, he's probably dead, my brother probably killed him."
"Oh, Stark? The next so called, 'suicidal tantrum' I have, I will be sure that it's something important I break just to spite you." Maria sneered, crossing her arms as Tony backed away, his back resting against the side of the couch.
Brook nodded, turning her gaze back to Maria, who was still glaring at Tony...if looks could kill, Tony would be dead a thousand times...or more.
"Maria? How about you go next, since you seem to have a lot to say."
Maria's gray eyes widened and she turned to face Natasha, who was seated on Clint's lap, located on her left.
"So, Nat, about that trip to South Africa..."
