Authors Notes:

I didn't create True American, I borrowed the idea from the TV Show New Girl.

I also copied the rules from a website called true american rules

Chapter 13: True American

Tony, Steve, Harleen, Natasha, Clint and Banner stood around in a circle. They all looked at each other and death stared at each other.

"Okay, on the count of 3 put a number to your head with your fingers. One, two, THREE." Clint, Natasha, Tony and Banner put fives to their forehead. Steve put a one and Harleen put a three.

"I call dibs on Clint." Natasha yelled.

"I guess it's you and me big guy." Tony said to Banner.

"Steve and Harleen, since you guys drew different numbers you'll team up together." Clint explained.

They started the game and as the game progressed Natasha and Clint were in the lead. They obviously were winning because they had played the game before. Banner and Tony were coming second and Harleen and Steve were last. Clint and Natasha looked smugly at each other knowing their plan was falling into place.

Once Natasha and Clint had finished all their beers, the King was vulnerable and they just had a few more steps to go. Harleen and Steve were quickly catching up to Tony and Banner. Clint shot them a worried look and Natasha decided to pull out the secret weapon to the plan. She started quoting pop culture things, leaving Harleen and Steve confused because they were still learning about modern pop culture.

Tony of course caught on to what Natasha was doing and took advantage. He finished the quotes and answer what they had in common. Which would allow him to move along either 2 spaces or 3. Banner and Stark managed to get back in lead from Harleen and Steve. Natasha and Clint finally got to the King and took a swig each. They had won.

Clint and Natasha celebrated their win while Banner, Stark, Rogers and Quinzel left their places and congratulated them. Loki and Thor went over to join them after watching the drinking game they'd never seen before.

"Well that was a very interesting game." Loki said arching his eye at the others.

"Yes, the most peculiar game, if I must say." Thor said joining in the conversation.

"Now, if I remember correctly, the losers need to be locked into the bathroom." Clint said look rather amused at Steve and Harleen. Harleen looked at Clint and her smile dropped, she quickly looked up at Steve who was stiff and looking uncomfortable.

"Now, now come one Capiscle. Man up and kiss her. At least she's a looker." Tony said cheerfully. Harleen heard what he said and punched Tony in the arm. Tony looked at her and held his arm giving her an amused fake pout. Tony grabbed Steve by the elbow and dragged him into the bathroom. Natasha came over to Harleen and tried to do what Tony did to Steve, but Harleen ran.

Before Harleen could get far, she was quickly embraced by Thor's huge arms. Thor chuckled at her and then threw her over his shoulder. Harleen didn't bother to try and kick her way out because she knew there was no point. Thor dragged her to the bathroom where Tony waited with Steve. Steve just stood there not saying anything, he looked tense and worried. Once Thor put Harleen down gently on her feet Tony looked at both of them and said,

"You too need to kiss and take a photo, and then send it to Natasha or me and then we will let you out and we won't accept a picture of what looks like a peck. We want a proper kiss." Before Steve or Harleen could even interject, Tony and Thor rushed out and shut the door behind them. Harleen slowly turned around to face Steve who still looked tense but a little more relaxed.

"Can't you just bust the door down?" Harleen asked Steve. Steve snapped out of whatever daze he was in and looked down at Harleen.

"I could, but I assume they will just put us in another room." Harleen just shrugged and then lent against a wall. Steve started pacing and would occasionally look up at Harleen but then quickly put his head down when she'd catch him staring. On the other side of the door, the rest of the team were chanting,

"Kiss, Kiss, kiss, kiss."

"Why don't we just kiss?" Harleen asked innocently.

"Because it wouldn't be an honourable thing to do ma'am. What I mean is, you've been drinking and it wouldn't be the right thing to do."

"Screw honour and what's right. Let's just do it, because the quicker we do it the quicker we can just get out." Harleen replied raising her voice a little.

"You may not believe in honour Ms Quinzel or even have honour, but I do." Steve said trying not sounding angry but realising it came out like he was. Harleen's anger bubbled, her eye brows furred and she said,

"Of course I don't believe in honour. I also believe people are motivated by self-interest rather than acting for honourable or unselfish reasons. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you won't kiss me not because it's not honourable or the right thing to do but because YOU don't want to." Her voice rising as she tried to get to the point.

Steve eyes stared at her and couldn't believe what she said. Of course the things he did weren't for him, but because he thought it was the right thing to do. Of course he wanted to kiss her for himself but he also knew that this wasn't the right way to do it. So he replied back the only way he could without seeming angry at her,

"I do want to kiss you. But what I meant by it isn't the right thing to do is, when I kiss you and I will. I don't want it to be like this, because we have to and I certainly don't want to kiss you in a bathroom." Steve said truthfully before storming away from her and barging the door down, not caring who was on the other side. However luckily the rest of the team where sitting around a table looking at their phones.

They heard the loud bang and looked up from their phones. They saw Steve storming out. Natasha quickly got up and walked into the bathroom. Harleen stood there looking confused and shocked.

"Are you ok Harleen?" Harleen looked up and saw Natasha staring at her; she could barely make out what Natasha said to her. However she knew Natasha was concerned so she smiled at Natasha and replied,

"Just peachy."
