AN: Tumblr prompt: avengers and baby Danny and spidey?
Drabble 102-Baby's Day Out
It wasn't often that the Avengers found themselves babysitting. Actually, unless it was Clint's half blind, three-legged dog, it was never. And really, all you had to do with Lucky was give him some pizza and he'd be content. With actual babies though, none of them had much experience.
And starring at a baby Danny and Peter, well, it didn't really bode well for the adults.
Luckily, since they were babies, they didn't have their powers. There were no children on the ceilings or floating around and scaring Clint. But that didn't mean they weren't still a handful.
"What do we do?" Steve asked.
"Wait for the spell to wear off, I guess," Bruce replied, pushing up his glasses as he did so. Bruce was the only one there that had some experience with children, and most of that was due to them or their parents being sick in third world countries, so actually fully interacting with them like this was just a little more than what he had grown accustomed to.
Danny and Peter giggled at each other as they slapped the ground in front of them. None of them understood why that was so entertaining to children, but they were babies. They weren't really going to question it.
"What...What if we call someone," Tony suggested. There was almost worry in his voice as he looked from the children to the potty trained individuals. "We need to baby-proof the compound, too. No sharp objects, pillows everywhere, a shit ton of baby gates..."
The others kind of tuned him out as he started rambling. He was freaking out about his two basically adopted children played on the floor. Clint, being used to the simpler forms of entertainment, grabbed a rubber band ball off of the counter and handed it to them. They stood around in a half-circle and watched as they threw it across the room before giggling madly.
"Friday, you're recording this, right?" Natasha asked.
"Well, I guess I am now," the disembodied voice replied.
"Back on Asgard mothers would take their infants across the town square or by water. Getting them used to the land, or something or other."
"Well," Clint said, "We could always take them to the park."
It was a bright and sunny day out. Perfect for bringing your two super babies out for a day of fun. But since they were babies they could really only do two things, and that was go down a baby slide, or use the baby swing.
They chose the swing.
Peter and Danny were pretty tame, and there hadn't really been a temper tantrum yet from either of them, which made things a lot easier. So far the hardest part was getting them into the swings, and that was mostly because Danny really just liked messing with Clint. Even as a baby he loved to inconvenience the older hero. It made for quite a hilarious scene.
They all switched off gently pushing the two in their swings. Many people surrounded Thor when it was his turn, due to him being in full armor. He had just gotten back from Asgard when they Danny and Peter got turned, and hadn't had a chance to change out of his uniform.
But it was while Tony was pushing them when it finally happened.
And it had never been funnier.
There was a couple of bright lights, screaming babies turning into screaming teenagers, and then groans to let them know they were, for the most part, alive and well.
When the lights went away, they were looking at half naked teenagers stuck in the kiddie swings, which was honestly the funniest thing. Clint immediately started taking pictures while tears streamed down his face from laughing so hard. Bruce cracked a smile, and Natasha chuckled at Peter struggling to free himself from the swing. Danny laughed at him as he phased through the hard plastic, thanking his lucky stars he ended up with ghost powers.
Of course, he got plenty of pictures before helping out his dear old friend, laughing along with Clint, who was now on the ground trying to catch his breath.
It really was a fun day in the sun.
