Summary: Avengers and cute little Tony celebrate Easter.
AN: It's Easter and I have slept more than 6 hours! Let's write a cutey one-shot. Easter fun and de-aged Tony, cause why not.
"Miss 'Asha! Miss Asha!" Little tiny Tony waddled as quickly as he could into the kitchen were Natasha was making a simple breakfast of eggs for them while they waited for the boys to either wake up or come back from their morning run.
It was so adorable how Tony, barely even two, was the cutest thing in the world. The red room and her line of work trained her for a lot of things, but they never trained her for the absolute adorableness that is a toddler version of Tony Stark.
"Yes Antoshka, what is it?" At this point Tony had made it next to Natasha, one hand held out to balance himself or grab the nearest surface, the other clutching something to his chest.
"I find, look." He carefully revealed the colorful egg that he had been holding onto for dear life. Using two hands to present his new found treasure. "Wha' is?"
"It's an Easter Egg." Natasha watched as Tony tried to figure out what that meant, head tilt as he contemplated the egg in his hands.
"Eas'a Egg?"
"Yes, Easter Egg. Once a year, a magical bunny comes out and goes around hiding his colorful eggs for little boys and girls to find." Easter was a cute holiday even if she didn't keep up with the more religious side of it. But when Bruce suggested they hide eggs for little Tony and Thor (because the giant man was an actual child) she couldn't think of a better idea.
"Even me?" She smiled and ruffled his fluffy head of hair.
"Especially you, Antoshka."
xXx
Tony had refused to go through with the egg hunt until everyone was present. Stating in his jumbled words that "Mr. Eas'a Bunny hide eggs for all so eve'y one has 'o hun' eggs fo'eva."
"I think you mean 'together' Antoshka."
"Yeah, 'gever."
So they ate the scrambled eggs together on the couch, Tony being careful not to make a mess and still watch the Looney Tunes playing on the TV. When he finished his plate the others started to emerge from their rooms.
Leaning against the back of the couch, Tony greeted the morning jogging crew. "Mor'win Mista Sam, Mista Bu-y and Mista Eve."
"Good Morning Tony." They chorused together, Bucky coming closer, ready to pick up a smiling Tony.
"Oh no, you, are covered in sweat and until you shower none of you are allowed to pick up Tony." Natasha quickly stopped the smelly super soldier from getting a freshly cleaned Tony dirty again. Tony's smiled wavered a little but Bucky was quick to reassure the little tot that he would march to his room right now for a shower so that he could come back and get a big hug from Tony himself.
Tony beamed at him and watched him retreat to his room, Steve following quickly behind and Sam a little slower since he needed time to finish chugging down a glass of water.
Then a few minutes later Bruce and Thor emerged, "Hi, Sir 'Or. Mista B'uce." Tony was fascinated by the demigod and when he found out Thor was the god from his story books he took to call him Sir Thor or 'Sir 'Or' in his baby talk. He also greatly adored Bruce and the other guy, Hulk being the only one without a formal attachment to his name. The few times Tony saw Hulk since he been de-aged he always referred to the giant as Hul'-y, which sounded a lot like Holly. When Clint laughed, Hulk growled at him until the archer ran away. But he adores Tony as much as the toddler adores him so he only slightly grumbles at the mispronunciation.
"Good morn young Anthony," said child giggled and ducked so you could on see his eyes and the top of his head over the couch. His grin hidden from sight, "and Happy Easter. I've been informed we will be conducting a great hunt today."
"Is a Eas'a egg hun' Sir 'Or!" The demigod came over and lifted Tony up high, holding him above his head while the little tot squealed with laughter, hands reaching out for the other man's face. Thor smiled up at little Tony and then brought him down to cradle into one of his large arms.
One hand clutching to the god's shirt the other being used to wave at the freshly showered Bucky, everyone began gathering in the kitchen. While Sam, Steve and Bruce went about getting some food ready for the adult's who hadn't eat yet.
Tony was sat on Thor's lap, playing with Bucky's metal hand when the little guy suddenly stopped and looked around the room. "What's wrong kiddo?" Bucky gently shock the little hand still in his metal one.
"Where Mista Clin'?"
"Right here Tonio!" Tony spun around to see Hawkeye carrying a large colorful basket and large, tan, floppy bunny ears perched a top his head.
Staring with wide eyes at the man who just entered the room Tony stage whispered to the two holding him, "Is Mista Clin' da Eas'a Bunny?"
"No he just wishes he was." Bucky answered him. Of course Hawkeye had heard both of them and snorted at the comment his fellow assassin made.
"Never mind that, here Tonio, this is for you. Happy Easter." Clint marched over, ignoring Nat as she took many pictures of them from her view on the couch. He knelt down in front of Tony, presenting the quite large basket that was overflowing with candy and toys.
"Is mine?" Tony looked so amazed that Clint was giving this colorful basket to him.
"Yeah buddy, I don't see another Tony around here."
"Fank you Mista Clin'! You da bes'es'!" Tony carefully reached around the basket to give Clint a big hug around his neck.
xXx
Later after everyone had eaten and Tony had been given his own pair of bunny ears (and lots of pictures were taken) did they begin the hunt. Everyone got little buckets to put their found eggs in, except Natasha. She was the official egg keeper since she was the one that had talked with the Easter Bunny himself to know where all the eggs were and how many there was to find.
The eggs were spread out on two floors, the common floor and the floor below that one, which is where the gym was located. Tiny Tot Tony carried his little Iron Man Helmet Easter Bucket with pride as he found eggs and carefully placed them in his bucket.
He found the one under the couch and next to the coffee table. Thor found the one above the TV but asked Tony to help him reach it. When Steve couldn't see on the top shelves of the cabinets in the kitchen he asked Tony to sit on his shoulders and help him check. For some reason Bruce kept overlooking the one in the flower pot by the window and Tony had to walk over and point it out for him.
This went on for some time, everyone hunting for eggs with Tony who even convinced them that they should let Hul'-y help since everyone else got too.
So when Hulk had scooped Tony up and declared he "Found Bunny" everyone cooed at the exasperated face little Tony gave. Explaining to the giant that they were looking for eggs not bunnies.
xXx
Two hours and about two thousands pictures later everyone settled down on the floor in the common room to open their plastics eggs and see what type of goodies were inside.
But the best part was probably watching Tony laugh himself to tears when Redwing made an appearance in the common room. A single egg balanced on his back and hovering just out of reach of a very annoyed Sam.
