I don't own Naruto, that honor is not mine to take.
Tony was pacing up and down the living room in front of the fire; Cap stared at the crackling fire in the living room as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. "I don't understand what is it that's so important that they can't tell us?" said Tony frustrated and still pacing.
"I mean we already established our trust, and they've been living with us in the mansion for about three weeks now," he continued talking.
"Aren't you even the least bit worried about this Cap" said Tony finally stopping in front of his friend. Cap looked up from the fire and told him, "I trust them Tony, the only thing I'm worried about is the way Hawkeye acted with them" said Cap standing up.
"Cap…." Tony was saying but he got cut off, "no Tony, I don't care what he thinks they are, and I don't even care if any of his suspicions are even true. They are kids, he shouldn't have been so harsh on them" said Cap starting to walk away.
"You know I already had a talk with him" said Tony
"And?" said Cap urging him on.
"And he still doesn't trust those two kids, but there is one thing that I'm sure of…" said Tony raising one finger to make a point.
"And that would be?" said Cap still urging him on.
"He doesn't hate them" said Tony simply
"How do you know if he does or doesn't hate them?"
"I saw it in his eyes, he doesn't hate them. Apparently after hearing their story, he just got frustrated that they were in such danger and they didn't speak up about it. My best guess is, he just wants to know what their hiding so he can protect them better."
Cap looked at him with surprise all over his face, "look Cap, I know he doesn't show it, but he really does care about these two. His ego just won't let him admit it" said Tony.
Cap smirked and turned his head to him still walking, "I guess the team was right" he said.
"About what?" said Tony clearly confused.
"About you being the leader of the Avengers" he said and his smirk turned into a full-fledged smile when he saw Tony's flabbergasted expression. Tony quickly recovered, and smiled back at him, "it's nice to hear that coming from you."
Anko and Kakashi were both currently sitting back to back in front of the cell's door. They couldn't access the door since it needed an Avengers card, but since they weren't a part of the Avengers they didn't have one. "Hey Kakashi" asked Anko finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah, what is it Anko?" asked Kakashi
"Do you think they might check on us soon?" said Anko
"I don't know, but I'm almost out" he said eyes drooping with dark circles under his eyes. "We're both almost chakra deplete, and we still haven't slept or eaten anything to regain it" said Anko her voice showing how tired she was too.
"We can't fall asleep, we have to stay up until Asuka-nii wakes up" said Kakashi remembering all the times he woke up in the hospital to see her looking down on him.
"I'm trying to stay up you know" said Anko annoyed.
"Let's do something that should keep us busy, so we don't feel so sleepy" said Kakashi through a hand yawning.
"Well you're not encouraging me with that yawn" said Anko
"Alright, any suggestions?" asked Kakashi
"How about Jan-Ken-Pom" said Anko (A.N. for those of you who don't know, that's rock-paper-scissors).
They played on and on and on, but they slowly started getting sleepy again. "This isn't working, let's try something else" said Kakashi.
"Alright, how about charades?" said Anko
"I'm too tired to stand up, let alone act" he replied.
At that Anko pouted and folded her arms over her chest, "then why don't you give a suggestion" said Anko. Kakashi put a thoughtful hand to his chin and said "alright, how about spin the kunai" said Kakashi with a mischievous smile.
"Spin the kunai?" asked Anko.
"It's spin the bottle, only shinobi version" he said eye smiling, Anko put a thoughtful hand to her chin and then replied, "that won't really work since were only two people."
On and on and on this kept going, and before they realized it Kakashi and Anko had fallen in a deep sleep.
Cap and Tony we're both heading towards their bedrooms when they passed by the two kids bedroom. "Do you think we should check up on them" said Tony
Cap saw the rays of light peeking from under the door, suggesting that the light was still on. He moved to open the door and said "I think we should make sure they don't do anything stupid" said Cap
When they opened the room, they were greeted with the sight of two untouched beds with no kids to be seen. The light was on since the two kids were too busy escaping to remember to turn off the light.
Tony and Cap stared on for a moment, still trying to get the thought that the two kids got out through their heads. Tony face palmed and sighed exasperatedly "why is it that these two can never do as their told?" said Tony.
"Come on, we better find them before they get themselves in trouble" said Cap
"Again?" said Tony
"Again" said Cap
They sped through the mansion and searched it living room, lab, meeting room, even the kitchen was empty. Tony and Cap met with each other, "did you find them" asked Cap.
"No did you?" Tony asked
"No," at that they both slumped dejectedly, "alright, we just need to think. What would be the first place they would go?" asked Tony
They both turned to each other and said in unison "THE SOUTH WING!" They both rushed down the hallways with break neck speed. When they got to the south wing they skidded to a stop only to slam into the door, since they didn't stop fast enough. "Open the door Tony" said Cap rubbing his face where he slammed into the door.
They walked down the halls and cells in a more leisure pace since they had already reached their destination. They found them both as predicted, in front of Asuka's cell. They were both asleep in a weird position; Anko's head was on Kakashi's shoulder her back against the wall, while Kakashi had only the wall holding him up.
Cap and Tony's eyes softened at the scene in front of them, "these two are really stubborn, I'm guessing they'll be spending all their time down here unless we move her" said Cap looking at Tony.
"I guess we could move her to the medical wing, at least then they'd be falling asleep on chairs rather than on the floor" said Tony jokingly
Cap smiled at him and then moved towards them "come on let's get them back into their beds, they'll probably catch a cold sleeping here" said Cap starting to carry Kakashi.
Tony moved to carry Anko, and that's when he first noticed that both kids had dark circles under their eyes. Tony got worried and looked to his friend in panic, his friend saw his panic and said, "what's wrong is she alright?"
Tony avoided the question he moved towards Kakashi, he moved Anko so he was carrying her with one arm and brushed the boy's hair out of his eyes. He found that, he too had dark circles under his eyes, "Cap, they were okay when they were at the meeting. What happened to them?" said Tony looking to his friend for help.
"Maybe they're both just tired, you never know. If they stay that way, we'll let Jarvis check them alright?" said Cap calming his friend down.
"Yeah, let's get going already" said Tony moving down the hall.
Cap and Tony made it to the room in no time, on their way back out of the kids' room one question arose, "how do you think they got out?" asked Cap.
"With the things these two come up with, I have no clue" said Tony he sighed exasperatedly, who knew these kids would be such a handful he thought to himself.
