p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;"The streets of New York were packed and you were relieved to get to the mall away from the honking taxis and sirens. As you walked between Tony and Thor, you looked at the group and realized you might be a bit conspicuous. Thor in his armour and large red cape, Steve in his aged leather jacket, and well, Tony being Tony attracted attention too. You decided it might be best to separate for a while and lose some attention./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Um, maybe we should disperse and meet in the food court in an hour, maybe lose some of our fans." You hinted at the people staring./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Tony Stark always has fans." Tony said all arrogance./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Be that as it may, we don't need so much attention." You almost felt self-conscious, realizing this was the first time you had been in public without your contacts. Many of the stares you noticed were aimed at you. "Tony and Bruce take Thor for some soft pretzels before he faints, Clint and Natasha, go off and spend some time alone." Natasha gave you a knowing look and Clint looked embarrassed. "And I will show Steve the modern marvel which is the mall." Tony look disappointed, before agreeing. /span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Fine." He reached in his pocket, handing you a credit card and you hesitated before taking it. "Buy Capsicle here something nice...and don't forget about yourself."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Oh, thank you." You were almost dumbfounded at his generosity. You tucked the card into your purse and grabbed Steve by the arm, pulling him away from the others who began to disperse as well. You stopped at a video store and directed Steve towards it./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""So...should we go for a classic or maybe introduce you to something after 1945." You joked, leading him to a shelf of discount DVDs. /span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Um," You watched as he anxiously looked at all the films in front of him. /span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Come on, you're Captain America! You can't be intimidate by the likes of..." You grabbed a case blindly, "Night of the Living Dead...well, maybe not that." You wanted Steve to enjoy the art of cinema but you weren't sure that was the right direction./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Whatever you think is good I guess." He looked as lost as always./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Fine, close your eyes."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""What?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Just do it." You searched the rack and grabbed to movies and hid them behind your back. "Now open your eyes. Left or Right?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Um, Left." You revealed his choice to him./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Dead Poets Society, a good one." You said, handing him the case. You paid at the register, the man attending you first stricken by your bright eyes forgot once he realized that Steve Rodgers was standing across from him purchasing a Robin Williams movie./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" You and Steve stepped out into the craziness of the mall and you searched for another adventure for the great Captain. Then as you passed a costume shop without a second thought, you stopped yourself as a great idea sprung on you. "Steve, do you like Halloween?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Um, is that where you get free candy?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Oh, yeah, I guess if you're under sugar rationing limitations..." You reminded yourself of his past. "I doubt we'll get free candy but we can get some killer costumes."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="CENTER"span style="background: transparent;"******I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross blares over a montage of shopping!*******/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="CENTER"span style="background: transparent;"Just kidding, I wouldn't do that to you guys./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" Finally, you convinced Steve to try on a fluffy bunny suit and looked around for a costume yourself while he was in the change room. It had also thrown Steve that they had Captain America costumes there of lesser quality. As you looked around, you found an even better costume for yourself and ran into your own dressing room, laughing like a maniac. You heard Steve exit his own before speaking./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""What is so funny?" He asked./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Oh, you'll see." You zipped up the back of your costume clumsily and tucked your own clothes in your purse. Pulling the mask over your face, you couldn't help a last chuckle before revealing yourself. You swung your door open and jumped out in your Iron Man costume, causing some children to run the other way and Steve turned to you, frozen before bursting out in laughter. However, you were caught up in your own laughter as he stood there in a large, pink, fluffy bunny costume, the head under his arm./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Tony is going to kill you."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Tony's too much of a narcissist to kill himself." You choked through your laughter, "Although, I think Thor may try to hunt you down, wittle bunny wabbit." You teased./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Hey...I only did it for you."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Don't worry, you look snazzy."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" The two of you recovered from your laughing fits and paid for your costumes wearing them out of the store, Steve finally relenting and put his head on. As you walked through the mall, people reacted in fear and amusement at the sight of a giant Easter bunny walking arm in arm with a tiny Iron Man. As you reached the food court, you spotted the others already seated at a table; Thor eating what was probably his twentieth pretzel as the others seemed lost in conversation. You motioned to Steve and you both giggled. You sneaked as quick and inconspicuously as you could and the two of you walked swiftly over to the table when close enough. As you approached silently, Thor was the first to see and choked on his mouthful and the others looked over confused./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" You struck your best cocky Tony Stark pose, legs apart and arms crossed. "Has anyone seen my Best of AC/DC cd? I'm lost without it." You said in your best Tony voice. The others laughed realizing it was you while Tony rolled his eyes./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Did you pick that out yourself?" Clint teased Steve./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""No," His voice muffled through the dopey bunny head./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" "Aw, don't tease him. You're just jealous that he can pull it off. My little pet wabbit, Sparkles!" You patted Steve's shoulder. "Sparkles?" Steve asked despairingly. You grabbed a seat and pulled Steve into the chair beside you, as he took off the rabbit head and you pushed your mask up so it rested on the top of your head. You laughed at Steve's hair which was filled with static and stuck up at all angles./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I thought you said we didn't want attention drawn to us." Bruce said skeptically./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Well that was then, before I found this amazing suit, I mean look at these abs." You patted the fake foam six pack./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I can't deny that it looks good on you." Tony agreed, eyeing you up and down./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Of course you would say that, Mr. Vanity." You laughed as he feigned insult, "How many of those have you had?" You asked Thor who began chewing yet another pretzel./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""That many." Natasha pointed to the wrappers which littered the floor around him./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Well, then, should we get back to Stark Tower before Fury realizes we dressed Steve up as the Easter bunny?" I suggested./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""That might be a good idea." Said an anxious sounding Bruce. /span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" The seven of you made your way through the busy mall and you realized that maybe the costumes weren't the best idea now that the joke was over. Regardless, you walked proudly alongside the others, carrying Steve's bunny head for him as he walked behind with Natasha and Clint. Tony and Bruce stood on either side of you while Thor followed in the very rear, finishing his last pretzel./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;" You stepped out the large front doors of the mall which you had enter hours before and outside you met a crowd of paparazzi and camera flashes which almost blinded you. You grabbed onto Bruce, realizing that so much chaos could encourage the other guy. Pushing through with the help of Tony on the other side, you finally reached the waiting limousine. Finally you were all in the limo and ready to go./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Are you alright?" Bruce asked as you steadied yourself./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Fine and dandy, how about you?" You were more concerned with his own temperament./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I've gotten used to it but sometimes, I don't know." He shrugged./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I don't know how you could ever get used to that." You smoothed the fur on Steve's bunny head atop your lap./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""When you're an Avenger, it's a necessity." You nodded until you processed it through./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Are you saying I'm an Avenger?" You asked slyly./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I might be." He smiled at you. "Is that what you want?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I...suppose it's more what I need than I want. I need to help people, right?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Of course." He looked into your eyes and you stopped yourself from blushing, you turned back to the rest of them and leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "Um, -." Bruce interrupted your train of thought and you turned your head to him. "I wasn't sure earlier...but your hair?" he questioned and suddenly you remembered the metallic silvering of your roots./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Yeah..." You tried not to sound too emotional. "It's alright, I can always dye it." You comforted yourself./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Would it be too forward of me to request a sample for testing? I'd like to see what's causing such odd colouring?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Not at all, feel free...but have the other tests told you nothing?" You were worried./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""There was virtually nothing out of place, except that your brain activity is higher than usual and your core temperature is constantly fluctuating dramatically." You sat forward at the news./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Why didn't you tell me before?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""I just deciphered the results last night and...to be honest, it doesn't seem that it's affecting you in a negative way. But seeing this new change happening, may provide more insight."/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Oh, okay...you would tell me if there's something wrong?"/span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Of course." He grabbed your hand reassuringly and you sat back, pulling the Iron Man mask off your head with your other hand, putting it atop the bunny head./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"span style="background: transparent;""Um, maybe we should disperse and meet in the food court in an hour, maybe lose some of our fans." You hinted at the people staring./span/p
