Chapter 37
Clint and Natasha were just back from a SHIELD mission when a whirl wind of motion caught their eye from down the hall.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Tony shouted as he zoomed past the frozen assassins.
Whoosh.
It would have been a very average sight – if it wasn't for the odd lumps sticking out of Tony's head.
"Are those mushrooms growing out of his skull…?" Natasha asked slowly. Clint squinted his eyes as Tony skidded to a halt at the locked door at the end of the hall. He instantly spun around and started running back the way he came.
"I don't know - let me check," Clint said as the genius tried to run past them. Clint promptly grabbed Tony by the scruff of his shirt and the two spies took a closer look at the multicoloured fungus growing out of his head.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" Tony wailed and he frantically waved his arms around trying to get out of Clint's death grip.
"When the heck did this happen?" Natasha asked in disbelief as she poked one of the wiggly pieces of mold.
"STOP TOUCHING THEM!" Tony sobbed. They were sensitive.
"COME BACK HERE STARK! I NEED TO DISINFECT YOU!" Steve hollered as he ran around the corner decked out in a ski mask, a pair of iron gloves, one of Bruce's science goggles and a large can of disinfectant spray.
Clint promptly dropped the squirming genius.
"Is he contagious?" he exclaimed in horror staring at his hand. Natasha promptly rubbed her hand on the back of his Hawkeye uniform and took a gigantic step back. He glared at her in betrayal.
"I DON'T NEED ANY DISINFECTING!" Tony screamed as he fell to the floor and ran for his life.
"HOW COULD YOU CRASH BRUCE'S FUNGUS LAB EXPERIMENT WHILE SLEEPWALKING?" Steve shouted in anger.
"I WAS DRUGGED!" Tony wailed as he ran down the stairs and out of sight. Steve whipped out a second spray can and dashed through the door after him.
Cricket…cricket…cricket…
"Natasha…my hand is itching…" Clint said in fear. Natasha narrowed her eyes. Someone was going to die.
"Where is Bruce Banner?" Natasha said dangerously.
A/N: Oh dear. Bruce how could you leave something like that lying around?
