Halloween was one of the most chaotic nights of the year in the Avengers' Tower. A night of identity and outfit swapping, pranks, and buckets of candy.
By six-thirty, there was anarchy. Wade and Peter disappeared out a window, each wearing the other's crime-fighting outfit. Pietro and Wanda had disappeared hours ago; the former declared he was off to tee-pee his father's evil lair, and the latter was headed to SHIELD headquarters for a night of trick-or-treating. Vision was obviously in tow.
Clint and Natasha were gone the whole day, off to Clint'S home where his children were prepping for an intense candy-collecting night. The youngsters were dressed as their favorite superheroes (which caused quite a controversy among the Avengers when the identities were revealed).
Bruce and author were on candy duty. Sitting on the front steps to the ginormous tower, Bruce, who was dressed as a mad scientist, was politely handing out candy to the younger children. Thor, clad with his hammer and usual outfit, was throwing candy to the older children, believing only the fittest and strongest warriors would gain the delicious treats. Bruce made sure the children who struggled to gain some got a handful.
Steve was rather excited on Halloween Eve. As a child, his Halloweens consisted of Bucky and him getting their sheets to become ghosts, and using their pillowcases to collect the hard candies and whatever sweets were still around during the wartime.
Short to say, Steve was a hardcore candy-collector. And the best thing about being a superhero: your day job uniform could double as a costume. With red, white, and blue uniform and shield in tow, Steve patiently waited for his fellow trick-or-treaters.
First to appear was Sam, confidently strutting into the room with a Captain America suit on. It was obviously hand-made, but the effort put into it was admirable. He even used a painted trash an lid as a shield.
Sam looked at his friend and frowned. "Well, this is awkward. But, to be fair, I thought of it first."
"Really?" Steve huffed, half amusement, half disbelief. "I thought of it decades ago. Great work on the costume, but I'm the real Captain America. I should be the one to—"
Steve cut off as his eyes darted to a newly appeared figure: Bucky Barnes, wearing a seemingly authentic Captain America suit.
Bucky gave a half-hearted glance at his two friends. He obviously didn't want to relenquish the rights to wearing the suit for the evening. "Someone's going to have to change."
"Not me," stated the final trick-or-treated confidently. Tony Stark, in yet another Captain America suit, appeared at the doorway. "I already posted the Halloween selfie. I win."
After much argument and rational points, three grown men trudged back to their rooms, trying to think of a last-minute Halloween costume. Tony left early, getting a head start on the candy.
Hey guys! Just a little halloween fluff for you all. Tried to keep it short—I know a good deal of you all ha e school today and are in prep for trick-or-treating, as am I. Note that I wrote this all in one night, so if there're any errors, don't be afraid to point them out!
Also the latter half was inspired by a funny fan art I saw a while ago. Yes, I waited months to write about this.
Hope you all have a safe Halloween and get lots of candy and perform well in the Skeleton War. Also for those who don't celebrate Halloween, have a spoopy night! Thanks for reading.
Stay awesome, my dudes!
