Let me tell you the story of how I almost died.

~Flashback~

The Avengers and I were in the middle of a prank war. I have avoided all pranks from Steve, Tony, and Natasha. Bruce doesn't play, and Clint has yet to try and prank me. I have pranked everyone at least once. For Tony I just moved his toolbox to the other side of the lab, Steve I had FRIDAY mess with the lights when Steve tries to use the light switch, Clint I put Nair in his shampoo, and Natasha I switched one of her shirts with Clint's. I just did subtle ones, so when I need to, I can use the bigger ones I have. The prank war ends tomorrow and Clint will try to prank me today. I carefully make my way to the kitchen where I see Steve with a white flag of surrender.

"I can't wait for tomorrow." Steve announces.

"Why is that?" I ask.

"The prank war will finally be over, and we can all hang out again without being suspicious of each other."

"Clint has yet to prank me. I kind of can't wait to see what he has in store." I admit.

I didn't have to wait long because when I walked back to my room to work on some homework, Clint doused me in cleaning supplies. As soon as the cleaning supplies hit my skin, the burning I felt was so bad that I collapsed. I struggled to breathe, and pretty soon I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was in the med bay, and everyone was in various sleeping positions around the room. Tony was in a chair right beside my bed, Natasha overtook the loveseat, Steve was on the floor using the loveseat as a pillow, Bruce was in a fold out chair, and Clint was hanging out from the vents. I nudge Tony's arm to wake him up.

"Hey, kiddo. How are you feeling?" Tony question.

"Better than earlier. What happened?" I answer.

"The cleaning supplies that Clint used were deadly to spiders. We then did some more research to see what else could kill spiders and removed them from the tower." Tony replies.

"That's nice." I mumbled.

~End flashback~

From then on, our cleaning supplies were spider friendly.

AN: Sorry I have been so inactive lately. I have been busy with school and I have also been working on editing my other story 'Iron Rose'. I also had a foreign exchange student move in with me and my family. Meaning things around my house have been hectic. Until next time. ~Ariel
