Finding Family - Part 2 ~ Chapter 3
I don't own anything owned by someone else.
All the Avengers along with Rhodey, Dr Cho and Maria Hill were all crowded round the main table some slightly more drunk than others. Sat in the centre of the table was the source of their arguing.
"But, it's a trick!" Cried Clint.
"No, no, it's much more than that," said Thor confidently.
"Ah, 'whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!' Whatever man! It's a trick."
"Well please, be my guest."
"C'mon," said Tony in disbelief, "Really?"
"Yeah," said Thor confidently.
"Oh this is gonna be beautiful," sniggered Tony. "Clint, you've had a tough week, we won't hold it against you if you can't get it up."
"Y'know I've seen this before, right? And I still don't know how you do it."
Standing up Clint leant over the handle and grasped its handle. Straining and grimacing Clint pulled with all his might to lift the godly weapon, what happened next had everyone inching forwards in their seats. Slowly the hammer inched up, then onto one of its angular edges before stopping, as much as he tried Clint couldn't get the last edge to lift.
"Nothing hahaha," laughed Thor with a relieved look on his face.
With that impressive performance the rest of the Avengers took to the challenge, each of them tried to lift the hammer. None of them succeeded, till there was only Steve and Natasha left to try.
"Let's go, Steve, no pressure," said Clint.
"C'mon, Cap," egged on Tony.
Rolling up his sleeves, Steve gripped the handle firmly and heaved. Straining the handle shifted in his grip and slowly began to rise, like Clint's attempt it rose onto an edge before lifting onto a corner. By now Thor was looking worried, far more than when Clint was in this position. Then it stopped, with barely an inch of the hammer still touching the table. Thor looked visibly relieved as no matter how hard Steve pulled he couldn't get the last of the hammer off the table.
"Ha ha, nothing. Ha ha ha," he laughed, relieved at his victory.
"And? Widow?" Said Bruce motioning to her.
"Oh, no no, that's not a question I need answered."
"All deference to the man who wouldn't be king, but it's rigged."
"You bet your arse," said Tony.
"Steve, he said a bad language word," smirked Maria.
"Did you tell everyone about that?"
"The handle's imprinted, right? Like a security code... 'Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints' is, I think, the literal translation?"
"Yes, well that's uh, that's a very very interesting theory." Thor stood and grasped the hammers handle, "I have a simpler one." He lifted Mjolnir giving it a flip to show of, "You are all not worthy."
"Nah!"
"Oh, C'mon!" Spluttered Tony.
What did you think of Clint nearly lifting the hammer?
