The Quarantine Diaries... Avengers Edition
Summary : How the Avengers are spending their quarantine / lock down.
Prologue :
Nick Fury had called for an emergency meeting at the Stark tower for all the Avengers and their allies. Tony enters last from his workshop grumbling about how it was unfair that he was being bossed around by "Midgardian Odin Wannabe" in his OWN place that he OWNED dammit.
He rounded the corner and saw more people than he expected, Coulson, Reindeer games, Wanda and Barnes among them. "Great! More people in my tower." Tony muttered and gave Fury a stink eye through the large console that he was visible from.
"Tony." Steve sighed.
"If you are done grumbling Mr Stark, we have more important matters to discuss here." Tony glared but went and sat next to Bruce. "Hey Brucie Bear." Tony smiled and Bruce gave an answering smile in return.
"Now as you all know the virus is now officially a pandemic and we as a country are going to be in lock down." Some groaned, some agreed while some (Steve and Bruce) gave serious nods, "Now what does this mean for you all present in this room?" Fury continued now that he had everyone's attention, "It means that you are to follow the rules like every other citizen in this country, no going out and definitely no avenging. You are all to stay in the tower and stay safe until further notice."
Everyone started to protest all at once.
"Silence" Fury bellowed.
"But sir, we could be out there helping people." Steve protested.
"This is a matter for emergency personnels. They are handling it. You are a citizen of this country and as such will follow the rules like everyone else." Fury stated.
Thor began to protest at that statement, "We are from Asgard and Gods. This virus thing won't affect us as well as many of our enhanced friends." Thor said giving a meaningful look towards Steve, Bruce and the spider-child, "you can't confine us here when we can be out there helping others." Thor concluded.
"As long as you are on earth, you will follow our rules, and besides if you are out there with the infected people, even though you are immune, you might risk spreading this virus to general public and to your fellow Avengers who are less immune."
"Hey!" both Tony and Clint protested at that.
"Agent Fury is right Sir. You already have a large portion of your lungs taken out to fit the arc reactor. You can't afford to be infected and risk pneumonia." Jarvis insisted.
"Et tu Jarvis" Tony sighed defeated.
The rest of the members gave him a worried look, finally understanding the seriousness of this virus and the plus points of staying inside the tower.
"What about a threat that requires Avengers attention?" Coulson asked calmly.
"We'll revisit that when the need arises. We need the Avengers ready and healthy for when they are needed, until then let the capable hands handle this situation. Stay home and stay safe." Fury concluded and the console turned off.
"Great! I am to be stuck with bumbling idiots and a cooped up Thor for who knows how long. Oh Joy." Loki muttered and walked away towards his room in the tower.
"You're no fun either Reindeer Games." Tony shouted to Loki's back.
"Brother, don't be like that. It could be fun. Just like when we were children." Thor tried, following Loki.
"Yay" Loki replied sarcastically and Rhodey snickered.
"What's so funny?" Tony asked his best friend.
"That's you in a few days." Rhodey answered.
"What, no. I have my lab and all the free time in the world. What more do I need? I bet Steve will get bored first." Tony added.
"Why me? I can keep myself busy." Bucky sniggered this time.
"My money's on Thor." shouted Loki from upstairs.
"Have we forgotten that we have a teenager amongst us?" Dr Strange added helpfully and Peter pouted.
"My money's on Clint." both Coulson and Natasha stated and smirked at each other knowing the struggles of entertaining a couped up Barton. Clint gave them an innocent look and headed to his nest.
"and don't forget the dangers of a bored Hulk. Tony added unhelpfully.
And so it began, by betting on who would get bored first. They had to keep themselves entertained somehow throughout the entire lock down period. Let's see if they manage to survive being couped up together and what the next few days bring.
TBC.
Note: So what do you think the cooped up Avengers should do? Ideas are welcome.
