A/N Merry Christmas to all of you guys! I hope you guys have a blast today! And here's a Christmas special! I love you 3000 3!
So you guys this was actually a part of the Avenger's Oneshot book but since it's Christmas and I wanted to give you guys something I have also posted it here. Sadly, it doesn't contain Percy as that would sort of mess up the timeline. Anyways please tell me what you thought. Once again Merry Christmas!
"Wake up guys! It's Christmas! Come on we have presents!"
On the morning of the 25th of December the residents of Avenger's Tower were woken up by the yelling of one Clint Barton. He was running up and down the hallways waking everyone up. He barged into Natasha's room,
"C'mon Tasha it's Christmas! Merry Christmas!" The redhead fondly rolled her eyes and replied,
"Merry Christmas Clint! Now, harass someone else, I'll be down soon." Clint didn't need to be told twice as he ran out of the room and settled into the common room, and grinned evilly at his plan.
JARVIS would start playing Christmas Carols at top volume till the person came downstairs and soon everyone was down in their PJ's a bit mad at Clint but forgave him in the spirit of Christmas. [Oh, who were they kidding, they'd decided to get revenge later due to the glares thrown their way by Natasha]
The common room was heavily decorated in shades of red and green by Thor who claimed Christmas as his favourite Midgardian festival and wanted to help with the decorations. The Christmas tree stood tall so laden with decorations that you almost couldn't see the actual branches of the tree.
Decorating the tree was a messy process with Clint, Tony and Sam tripping over the lights no less than 5 times each. With a truly hilarious picture of Tony and Clint falling down together in a jumble of limbs ending with a rather compromising position which had given other's a lot of blackmail.
The star on top of the tree was a whole another debacle, some arguments that took place:
"Tony, no you will not put an Iron Man helmet on top of the tree!"
"But Pepper…"
"NO Tony."
"Fine. But then Clint can't put anything either."
"Works."
"Hey! Excuse me! You can't take away my-"
"If I can't put an Iron Man helmet then you can't either."
"Tony, Clint shut up. Everyone knows we putting the Shield on top."
"Oh God Steve not you too."
"Then I demand Mjolnir to be put at the top, good friends!"
"Stop it guys! Now Hulk wants something too!"
"Enough!"
The star ended up being a beautiful golden star made by Natasha. Everyone agreed that it looked quite pretty.
Soon everyone was chatting curled into blankets with cups of hot chocolate, courtesy of Tony, believe it or not the man could cook and bake. Also the hot chocolate tasted heavenly and nobody was complaining.
"So he ran in there, hoping I'd follow and tripped one of his own traps and-"
"I think they get it Tony." A pouting Clint said as Tony was recounting one of the Archer's many failed attempts to prank him. The next half hour was spent with many retellings of some embarrassing stories, including a story told by Rhodey where he and Tony had almost got expelled for hacking into the Pentagon while completely drunk.
The crowd favourite and the one that everyone laughed the hardest at was told by Natasha about one of her missions with Clint in Vegas. By the time she had finished nearly everyone was rolling around the floor laughing except for a chuckling Natasha and a once again pouting Clint.
That came to an end however when Clint excitedly yelled, "Presents!" It may come as a surprise to many but the Earth's mightiest heroes are completely kids at heart, so obviously there was a mad rush as everyone fought over their presents.
After a lot of scrambling, yelling and cursing everyone finally settled back onto their places as they opened the gifts.
The lights on the overly decorated Christmas tree shone on their faces, excitement and joy reflected in each and every one.
Tony paused for a moment looking around the room, Thor was loudly asking questions about Christmas to Bruce who was trying his best to reply. Clint and Sam were comparing their presents like the four year olds they were.
Bucky was looking through one of his presents with a small smile, as though sensing he was being watched he raised his eyes and locked them on Tony's giving the man a grateful smile, Tony simply smiled back happy that Bucky like his present.
Tony once again allowed his eyes to roam his crazy new family. They might be different but they worked well together, and loved each other and that was all they needed.
"Clint! What the Hell, give back my chocolates, Clint! Get back here!" Sam yelled as he tried to take back his chocolates. They squabble over the chocolates until an exasperated Natasha divided them between the two. It was quiet for a while as they all looked through their presents until…
"Tony I-thank you," It was Natasha who said this in a surprisingly soft and choked voice, she was looking at a picture but covered it before anyone else could see. To everyone's surprise, she got up and gave a tight hug to the billionaire and said, "Thank you Tony, this is the best present I've ever received."
Tony simply replied, "No problem Tashy-Washy. Merry Christmas." He gave her a peck on the cheek as she pulled away. At the other's curious glances, Tony just gave a mysterious smile. Nat didn't reveal anything either.
Then their attention was diverted by another happy yell, "I love them! Thank you Rhodes!" and Clint shot off from the room clutching a hawkeye pyjama onesie.
Rhodey simply chuckled and said, "I got one for everyone. Some are custom made too." And at once there was a mad dash to get out of the room and change into those pyjamas. Once everyone settled again, this time with spiked eggnog, they began arguing over the Christmas movie to watch.
"Come one The Grinch is the best."
"No, let's watch Home Alone." Tony of course
"Love Actually please."
"No, the Grinch is the best."
"We are watching A Christmas Carol."
"Ew, why that, I hate it."
"Hey! Don't insult it!"
"Guysss Home Alone."
"Tony if you don't shut up, I will shove this candy cane so-"
"Okay enough cursing, it's Christmas!"
"But Home Al-"
"Tony!"
After another half an hour of arguing, Pepper ended the argument by threatening to use her new heels which had knives hidden in them (gifted by Tony) on them to make them shut up.
In the end a list was made, consisting of everyone's favourites and they all settled on the largest couch, huddling together. Thor and Steve were sprawled on a separate couch, Bucky was sitting on the floor with his head on Steve's lap. Tony had pepper curled up on one side with Nat's head occupying his lap, Nat in turn had her legs on Clint's lap, who was leaning on Rhodey. Sam was sitting by Rhodey's legs, there were mountains of blankets and the food that was sitting on the coffee table was soon polished off, but nobody could be bothered to get up and restock it.
The first movie on their list was Home Alone on Tony's insistence. Everyone reluctantly agreed though Thor was the one most excited to watch all the movies. He kept yelling questions with Tony and Clint alternatively shutting him by throwing food at him, which he caught of course.
They next watched The Grinch followed by A Christmas Carol. By this time nearly everyone had fallen asleep. The common room was a mess, with stuff and wrapping paper, decorations and tape, plates, bowls and glasses lying around. Tony looked around once making sure everyone was asleep. Then carefully got up without disturbing anyone.
He quietly tip toed out of the room, taking his phone out and dialled a number quickly. It rang a few times before the person on the other end picked up.
Tony grinned as he said, "Merry Christmas Uncle N-" but whatever he was about to say was cut off by a huge crash coming from the living room. Tony swore loudly but a gruff yet gentle voice cut him off, "Merry Christmas to you too Tony, now go see what those idiots did. I'll see you later."
Tony added a quiet, "Night, I'll see you later." Before hanging up and he dashed into the living room to see what the commotion was all about. Turns out people were trying to eavesdrop and in the rush to hear what was going on someone (Everyone was pointedly looking at Clint who simply grinned) tripped and landed on the plates.
"And you call yourself a spy Barton?" Tony teased. They stayed up the rest of the night talking and relieving memories. JARVIS took a lot of pictures that night added into 'My crazy family' file on Tony's private server. Needless to say it was one of the best Christmas day any one of them had had. Maybe most of them didn't have loving families or childhoods but together they had found a new family which had every type of crazy.
A/N So...did you guys like it? Please read and review! Hope you have an amazing Christmas!
Ata1anta: Thank you! Actually the demigods and Gods especially are huge gossips and things spread fast. Of course Percy defeating a Primordial spread like a wildfire and so more people of the nine realms wanted to know about Percy and stories about him were passed around, so he has become a legend.
Matt: Aww...Why would you say that...I love my hair! Still thank you and have a fantastic holidays!
A Reader: Love the name ;) Thank you!
cardmaster11: I'm glad you liked it! Your wish is my command master ;)
KyraXyrine: Thank you! Sadly no none of the Avengers are demigods...yeah...Tony and the Hephaestus kids would get along like a house on fire!
Once again thank you for the reviews! I love you guys 3000! Bye!
