Chapter 7

Serpentine hummed a creepy tone under her breath as she floats around the mansion, giggling and humming in appreciation as she took in Steve's way of decorating the place. The mansion in question looks like an abandoned and a haunted ground, striking fear, and terror in the heart of those who dared to enter it without permission; Serpentine couldn't be prouder with how her baby managed his life! Serpentine let out a squeal in delight when she saw possessed dolls running and crawling around the place; Serpentine decided to follow them and amuse herself by slaughtering the defenseless things until her son return and tell her all about his date and the souls he tortured with Tony.

Singing creepy songs as Serpentine passed the halls looking for her new victim; Serpentine stopped in her place when she noticed a doll like no other in this mansion, a cursed doll. The doll in question looked like little Bucky Barnes, with the Shield and all, sitting on the floor with a dejected aura around him, sadness dripping from him like waves… and oh, my! Was that the cutest sight ever?! "Hello there, Bucky-bear!" Serpentine called out as she floats toward the doll, grinning when her suspicion was confirmed when the doll raised his head and let out delighted noises when he spotted her floating around.

Her precious son seemed to have been in a heated argument with Bucky, an argument the brunette didn't survive unscathed by the look of it. The doll jump from his sitting position, waving his hands around and mimicking actions, jumping around the place and letting out angry little squeaks, all the while Serpentine hummed and nodded her head, trying to stiffen her laughter at the sad beep Bucky let out at the end of his explanation.

"I see; so basically Stevie turned you and some of your friends into defenseless creatures because you refused the idea of Steve courting Tony, right?" Serpentine stated, causing Bucky to let out a sad beep and nod his cotton stuffed head, the action made Serpentine coo, almost stabbing Bucky from how cute he was in this form, but she resigned herself, she can't stab anyone/thing now, not when a new interesting mission showed up. "OK, I will help you this time, just this once, only if you told me about Tony a little bit more." Serpentine stated, getting more raging squeaks from Bucky; Serpentine couldn't help but give a smug smile at the angry Bucky let out at the mentioned Tony's name, this was going to be interesting.

It took a few more seconds of Bucky squeaking and squealing in rage before he seemed to deflate, nodding his head in the end as he let out a few grumbling noises. Bucky huffed as he made a motion for her to follow him, making Serpentine grin as she floats behind Bucky-doll, 'Oh'-ing and 'Ah'-ing as they reached a part of the mansion that was covered in spider webs so thick and strong that it was able to hold tables and furniture suspended in the air.

Bucky stopped when he reached the edge of the webs, not going in for the fear of being stuck in the webs. Bucky-doll let out a few squeaks and squeals, which were answered not a few moments later with chirps and whistles and the sounds of skittering following the chirps. Serpentine raised her eyebrow when she noticed the shoe-size (Red?) black widow, making its way toward them.

"Is that everyone or is there someone else?" Serpentine asked after she listened to the doll and the spider squeaked and hissed at each other, both of them complaining about Tony being able to disappear without them even being able to kill him. The sentiment was cute as hell, Tony most be popular and well-loved if all of his friends wanted to kill him and get rid of him, no wonder why Steve fell for him; unfortunately, Serpentine didn't have enough time to stand still as this reunion continued, she wants to return Bucky to his former glory so that she can plan her next world's crises. I mean Steve wasn't called the best strategic mind in the twenty century out of thin air, was he?

Bucky-doll and the little spider looked at each other before letting out a shudder of disgust, an action that made Serpentine's curiosity increased. It took a few hesitated seconds before Bucky-doll and the spider walked toward their next distention, both of them looking like the two of them wanted to be anywhere but the place they are heading to.

Reaching what looked like a normal door, Serpentine tried to not scrunch her nose at the smell, she could only thank her stars that she was dead; she doesn't want to know what the smell is like to a living person. From the coughing and hacking coming from Bucky-doll and the spider, she has an idea how bad it was, and that was… Awesome! She was so going to cook her rat poison stew for Stevie as a well-done present!

Bucky-doll and the red spider squeaked and hissed at each other, both of them trying to force the other to go and open the door, the action caused Serpentine to roll her eyes; if her Stevie was here, he would have already brought his knife into play, which will convince anyone to say yes. She wondered if that was the reason Steve chose Tony, but that was a question for another time.

When it seemed like the fight between Bucky-doll and the spider won't end, Serpentine sighed and roll her eyes, going to the door and knocking it down, which got her a moan from inside the bathroom, and more choking and hacking coming from Bucky and the spider when the aroma of disgust, swamp, and misery was released… Ah, it reminds her of her youth!

"Oh…" Serpentine let out when a… she really doesn't really know how to describe the goo that came out of the bathroom… swamp monster (Crawled? Slide?) Letting out moans and groans as he continued his way, ignoring how the red spider passed out (Legs up) and how Bucky's fabric face turned purple with him holding his breath desperately. "OK… I can work with that." Serpentine shrugged, chanting a few spells she knew will reverse whatever her boy did to his friends.

The screams of pain from the three, made Serpentine give a delightful sigh, enjoying the screams, and moans, and thrashes, as bones got broken and skin got stretched to the limit. It took a few more minutes before three humans stood in front of her, the helpless little creatures disappeared from her sight, which made Serpentine huff, missing her chance to at least stab one and call it a win.

"I am back! I'm back! Oh thank God, I am back!" The swamp/slime/goo monster cried, raising his hands and falling to the ground crying in relief. "No more living in the bathrooms! No more staying in this cursed mansion! No more chasing after that crazy Addams' affection! I'm done, you hear me? I'm done!" The monster shrieked as he stood on his shaky legs, only to start running while screaming 'I'm done!', it was a few minutes later before Serpentine felt him leaving the mansion's ground.

"OK… that was interesting!" Serpentine grins darkly, wondering what kind of torture Steve made his friends go through; the ghost couldn't be prouder than she already was, her baby was making his mark on the world, in the biggest way possible! She wonders what his kids are going to be like, and hope desperately they won't be blessed with that awful blond hair and sparkly blue eyes like their father (She still blame Joseph Rogers for her son's look, but he paid for it dearly… with his life) even when her baby grow up to be a beautiful kind of murderous ghost that represent the Winter season.

Bucky gazed at her in a daze, looking to pale to be healthy, causing Serpentine to smile happily at that look; Bucky would have been a nice addition to the Addams family, not only because he was one of the normal who accepted their ways of life, but because he really loved her son, too bad her boy was in love with another who tolerate him at best.

This was going to be interesting…

"Steve, please, can we leave?" Tony shivered as he gazed at the grave in front of him; he can already feel that something really bad was going to happen. Something that will make Tony scream bloody murder and run out of the cemetery, something that's worse than seeing his parents becoming zombies. Just the thought of him having to face what had faced in his teen was enough to make Tony turn around, already planning on running away, only to be stopped by Steve who held him back from hightailing it.

"Soon, my love, soon…" Steve purred into his ear, letting out a delightful noise when they reached the grave, making Tony gulp, already knowing what they were going to face. (Zombies, ghosts, rotten corpses) "Soon, we shall take revenge on those who wronged you, starting with him." The look on Steve's face nearly made Tony faint; it was so scary that Tony thought of himself as an idiot for doubting that Steve was the scariest assassin out there.

Turning to the grave of the poor idiot who angered Steve, Tony nearly flinched when he read the name on the headstone… Oh my God… No, no; just no! Why the fuck are they standing near Stane's grave? Wasn't that bastard ash right now? Tony was sure he paid for Stane to be turned into ashes and be dumped into a pig's pen! "Oh, no, nope, nada, yadda, I'm outta here, sorry, but nope!" Tony stated, slipping out of Steve's arms as he tried to make a run for it, only to let out a squeak when Steve pulled him back by his jacket suit and throw him over his left shoulder like a sack of potatoes, the metal arm holding him tightly was the only reason Tony didn't thrash and was content with holding his breath in fear… Tony knew that this date was a bad idea! He knew he will die on this day!

"Cara Mia! Do not worry, I will be the one who will do all the torture, you just enjoy the show." Steve purred the smugness was dripping from Steve in waves, making Tony gulp and send a quick prayer to God, asking Him for mercy. "We are here!" Steve chirped happily, dumping Tony in what looked like a plush pillow that Tony was sure wasn't there a second ago.

"Steve…" Tony tried to say in a warning tone when Steve sat in front of him, on the opposite side of the grave; Tony's hope of being able to dash out of here was ruined when Steve send him that dangerous grin promising something horrible was going to happen. "You don't have to do this, please!" Tony hates pleading for anything, but if it will get him out of the cemetery; Tony will marry Rogers, right here right now!

"Do not worry, love, we shall enjoy every scream of pain tonight, we shall bath in our enemy's blood as we rip his heart out!" Steve grinned, being too cheerful for someone who was going to be Satan and torture some poor souls on this fine evening. Tony couldn't help but pity Stane, even with the man being a dick, no one deserves to be a target of the Addams family.

It was only a few seconds later before Steve starts chanting, making the hair on Tony's body stand on its ends, he can already predict what was going to happen, and he prayed that nothing bad was going to happen to his poor soul. "Who woke me up?" Snarled a familiar voice making Tony flinch, an action that Steve noticed too well, for he turned to Stane and gave him a look; if Stane was alive he would have been dead all over again.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Tony couldn't help but chant under his breath, he was one second away from fainting; this was bad, so, so bad, nightmares bad, worse than his parents turning to zombies bad! Tony wondered if he can turn around and run away, but as luck will have it, Steve will probably catch him even before Tony shift a muscle.

"Mr. Stane, so nice of you to join us… let the torture begin!" Steve chirped happily, not even giving Stane the benefit of a long villainous monologue that Steve seemed to prefer when dealing with unpleasant garbage; Steve just gave a sharp smile that has razor-sharp teeth in it (Since when did Steve have any fangs?) and raise what looked like a knife with rusted blood.

Stane's screams made Tony pale, nausea taking over him as he tried to look away from the gruesome sight in front of him; Tony made a mistake when he ate dinner tonight. It wasn't until what looked like a ghostly bloody arm fell into Tony's lap that Tony finally lost it, his head tilting back as sweet darkness finally embrace him…

This was the worse day ever…

Waking up, Tony grunt and snuggle into the warmth that was surrounding him, hoping against hope that this nightmare was finally over and that he was actually home sleeping. Letting out a sigh, Tony huffed a little, wondering if this crazy dream of meeting an Addams was just that, a crazy dream; a crazy dream that Rhodey and him will laugh over with Pepper and Happy as they gathered on their monthly video calls.

Tony let out a content hum when the warmth held into him a little bit tightly… which made Tony let out a shriek as he pushed himself away from the source of the warmth that was enveloping him not a few seconds ago, keeping the chills away. "Good morning, Cara Mia!" A voice from his nightmare purred not that far away, causing Tony to freeze in his place, feeling like a small mouse caught in the talons of a hawk.

"No!" Tony shrieked denial and pain echoing in his voice, the thought of that nightmare being real caused Tony to give a pained sob, his hope of running away lying in ruins. "Why, God? Why? What did I do to deserve this?" Tony whined, gazing at the still dark sky, refusing to turn to Steve and see how innocent and happy he was looking while Tony was weeping and losing his mind not a few feet away.

"Aw, don't be like that, love!" Steve cooed, causing Tony to growl and turn to the man, planning on giving Steve a few hits on the head, maybe that will give Steve his mind back; Tony wondered how Rogers survived the forties with that kind of attitude, didn't they use to burn witches alive in those times?

"You!" Tony hissed as he stood up, trying to tower over Steve, but instead of that, he felt like prey in the presence of a predator. "It's all because of you!" Tony snapped huffing and buffing as he tried to calm himself, lest he gains Steve's wrath and condiment himself into turning to a golden fish. "I don't know what you think is an appropriate date, but torturing someone, even if he was a dick who deserves it is a NO!" Tony huffed trying not to sway on his feet as he remembered the gruesome sight of Stane getting it from Rogers, which nearly made him faint again. "I don't know what you think I am, I may be a superhero, but I'm not a fucking Addams! I don't do the shit you do, I don't enjoy dancing in graves and torturing souls, I don't enjoy people suffering and being in pain; I don't care what you think about me, but I'm not an Addams, I'm a normal human being!" Tony growled, his energy leaving him, causing him to fall to the ground letting out a sob; God why does karma hate him so much?

Steve was silent as he took Tony in, almost making Tony shiver and run away, unfortunately, his legs refused to move; a few moments later Steve let out a sigh and stood up, walking toward Tony and helping him stand on his shaky legs. "I'm sorry, Cara Mia." Steve stated, turning Tony to face him even when the genius wanted to look away, but at least it was the first time that Steve apologizes to him… sincerely. "I just thought that you will be more acceptant, Bucky was." Steve tried to explain, getting an eye roll from Tony who let out a groan at the admission; of course, Bucky was!

"Yeah, well, I'm not Bucky, I don't know how you did it in the dark ages, but things are different now." Tony stated, pulling his hands away from Steve. "With how crazy you are, I wonder how the serum worked with you being messed up in the head." Tony muttered to himself, testing how his legs were able to hold him as he starts walking trying to find a way out.

"Oh, I only signed up, because Dr. Erskine promised me there is a chance I will die!" Steve chirped happily as he runs after Tony, his words causing Tony to stumble on his feet and turn to stare at Rogers with disbelieving eyes. "I wanted to witness the glory of death, pain, and suffering that was the war; so I tried several times to enlist, only for them to kick me out after knowing I was an Addams. Dr. Erskine was nice though, he offered me a chance for suffering and dying in a dangerous experiment as payback for being a lab rat; everyone was surprised when the serum worked, even with being an Addams." Steve pouted when he said the word 'worked' like he was planning on suffering and dying from the start only to be denied that sweet pain.

Tony being a partly sane, partly mad genius, and many parts terrified, kept his mouth shut, wondering if all the people in the forties were insane for choosing Addams as a lab rat… a masochist lab rat. "I see… a piece of advice for future events. Never EVER mention this story to anyone, it's enough that you ruined my childhood, I don't need you to ruin the childhood of millions of kids." Maybe Tony shouldn't have said that, because Steve looked like he just won the lottery. "If you ever do that (ruining kids' dreams) I will leave you and the Avengers forever." Tony threat, which caused Steve's face to fall… if condemning his life to hell so that he will save millions of innocent kids? Tony will do it, even if it meant he will hate himself forever.

They walked for a few more minutes, with Tony thinking about upgrading his armor to withstand the Addams' creepiness, and Steve… well, Steve was probably thinking about creepy stuff and the souls he will torture next. "If I… if I stopped doing the torture in front of you and did it behind you without you witnessing it, will you allow me to court you?" Tony blinked and turned around to gaze at Steve who was giving him a hopeful look.

Now, this was the best chance for Tony to say no, and run away to the hills, hoping that Rogers won't catch him. but even Tony knows that this is the best deal he can get out of Steve because an Addams is a magnet for trouble and horror, they can't just tone their urges down like any sane person… they get more creepy if they did (Tony still remember that awful sight of Steve when he tried to be normal) maybe if Tony played his cards right, he will be able to save people who don't deserve to be Steve's next victim.

"You won't torture anyone in front of me?" Steve nods his head at Tony's question, his eyes serious as he gazed at him. "You won't kill, burn, bewitch, mental torture, curse, stab, hit, and terrify innocent people in front of me?" Tony pressed, causing Steve to press his lips tightly before he nodded his head in acceptance. "You won't hurt my family, friends, and the Avengers or curse them, even when they act out?" Tony raised his eyebrow when Steve looked like he swallowed a bitter lemon at this request; a few moments later Steve ended up sighing and nodding his head. "You will do all the major creepiness you Addams do and I can't handle behind my back, or where I can never see or witness by a chance?" Steve nodded his head happily before pausing looking at Tony with a look like with a frown like he was played. "Look, you can stab, kill, sacrifice, and do whatever an Addams do, but not in front of me. Creepy dolls? I can handle, ghost around the mansion? Fine. But never ever do something in front of me or it's over." Tony tried to ignore the star-struck look Steve send his way, walking faster trying to ignore the man behind him.

"Will you go out with me on a date then? No torture involved this time! I promise! You can be the one who plans the date and I won't say no to any part of it!" Steve said, his words causing Tony to stop in his place, thinking and rethinking about Rogers's offers. In the end Tony shrugged his shoulder, already knowing he was doomed from the start, at least then there was no torture involved in any future date…

He was so going to regret this…

So what do you think?

Oh how cute! Steve and Tony are finally working through things!

And from a scale of 1 to 10 which Addams do you think is the creepiest in this fic?
