May 4 - Star Wars Day

Warnings: Light Sabers, Scary Pepper, Boys in Trouble, Gen/No Pairing

Bucky and Steve found them in the forest after the third tree went down. Rhodes and Stark had been missing all day after breakfast, conspiring together and then taking off once their plates were empty. Normally it wouldn't have been much of a concern but when a tree fell in the surrounding forest and Pepper Potts called Steve knew it was going to be a worrisome day.

"Where are they Steve?" Pepper Potts was terrifying and Steve buckled in a second.

"No idea ma'am, they disappeared after breakfast." Bucky snickered in the background and Steve glared at him. Even though it didn't help him at all.

"Steve, find them and when you do call me. I'll be in touch."

"Yes ma'am." Once the phone was disconnected Steve felt like he could breathe again and start whining, "Why is it my problem?"

Bucky came over and clapped him on the back, "You are team captain, go find your team." In the distance, they heard another tree fall and Buck just smirked at him.

So when they came across the two best friends standing at the bottom of a hill, glowing sticks in their hands, Steve called Pepper.

"Did you find them?"

"Yes, they're in the woods surround the compound and battling with glowing sticks."

"Glowing sticks?"

"Yes, red and blue glowing sticks that they're using as swords."

"I'll be right there, don't lose sight of them." She didn't wait for anything else from Steve, just hung up. So Steve and Bucky stood there a safe distance between them and those glowing sticks.

"Pepper's going to kill them."

Bucky smirked, "I'm going to record it." While they were waiting for Pepper to arrive Clint called.

"Where the hell is everyone?" Bucky pulled the phone away from his ear when Clint shrieked at him.

"In the forest." Of course Bucky was going to keep it as vague as possible while Steve sweated over the arrival of Miss Potts.

"What? Why? What's happening out there? An attack, give me details man!"

"Come find out." And then he hung up on him. "Clint should be here soon."

"Great." Right after that, Rhodes took a swing at Tony and missed. But his glow stick sliced through the tree behind him like butter. "What the hell!"

Not looking away from the battle between Rhodes and Stark, Bucky commented, "Looks like I might lose another hand today." The look of horror on Steve's face was priceless.

When Clint arrived, he could believe it. "No way."

Bucky smirked, "Yep."

"But it's impossible, he couldn't–"

"He did."

"But–"

"Look."

"Can we?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Potts."

"Oh they're fucked."

Steve spoke on auto pilot, "Language Clint."

"Sorry Cap."

xXx

A quinjet touched down and out came Pepper Potts and Nick Fury.

"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK AND JAMES RUPERT RHODES PUT THE LIGHT SABERS DOWN OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL STRANGLE YOU!"

Both men jumped back from each other, light sabers shining bright between them. "But Pepper–" they whined looking up the hill at her.

"RIGHT NOW DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN."

xXx

They were back in the compound, light sabers powered down and held secure by Miss Potts as she finished scolding the two men. Pepper had finally calmed down enough to stop and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Tony turned to James, "Fierce Rhodey, our battle was." Rhodes snickered.

-SMACK- -SMACK-

Tony rubbed his burning cheek, "I deserved that."

Rhodey rubbed his own matching one, "I didn't."

"Say another word and I won't hesitate to do it again." Pepper glared the two into submission.
