Three cheers to everyone who knows the movie - and five for everyone who's actually seen it! ;)


That Old 80s Epicness

"Please."
Tony batted his eyelashes at Steve.
"Just once."

"No", Steve said, shaking his head. "Absolutely no."

"Aw, c'mon."

"I won't do it, Stark. Stop looking at me like that!"

"Do what?" Barton asked as he hopped down from his perch.

Natasha, too, was joining them now, carefully avoiding chunks of rubble that had fallen down from several buildings during the fight.

"Where's Bruce?" Steve asked.

She shrugged.

"The Hulk went that way." She pointed over her shoulder. "Thor's trying to find him."

"Hey, don't try to distract us", Barton said. "Do what?"

Tony grinned.
"Remember what we talked about the other day, Feathers?"

His new nickname for Barton ever since he had given him the pink boa. So far, Barton hadn't objected. He even seemed to like the name.

"Oh." The archer smirked. "That."

"What?"
Natasha looked from him to Tony and back to him again.

"I. Won't. Do. It", Steve said through gritted teeth.

"Why not?" Tony asked.

"It's silly."

"It isn't!" Barton protested. "It's – it's –"

"Groovy", Tony finished.

"Cult", Barton added.

"80s cult."

"And way cool."

They looked at each other, then Steve.

"Please", they said unisono.

Steve shook his head.

"No way."

"You know, I have no clue what's going on here but these two –" Natasha gestured at Barton and Tony. "- seem to have teamed up on you and they will bug you until you finally cave in and do it, whatever 'it' is."

"So I get it over with right away?" Steve asked.

She nodded.
"Would be the sensible thing to do."

"Alright."
Steve sighed. Then, he took his shield in both hands, gripping the edge.

Tony gave Barton a nudge. They were both grinning and looking at him expectantly.

Steve lifted his shield high over his head and mumbled something. Then, he lowered it again.

"What was that?" Tony frowned. "I didn't quite catch that. You, Feathers?"

Barton shook his head.
"Nope, didn't get it, either. And it was nowhere even nearly epic enough."

Steve gave them an exasperated glare. He took in a deep breath and lifted his shield again.

"I fight for the users!" he called.

"Yeah!"

"Awesome!"

Tony and Barton high-fived.

Steve again lowered his shield.

"Are you two satisfied now? Because I won't be doing this again."

He turned and started to walk away. After a few steps, he stopped and looked at the two over his shoulder.

"And god help me if I catch any of you fixing up my suit so it glows in the dark!"
