Hi guys! So this is much shorter than most things I post but it's the first of many in this little idea. Hope you like it!
It all started because of a simple comment, the kid wasn't trying to start anything but then again she never tries to cause trouble. At least not like this, she did love to get in on messing with Stark.
We were all chilling in the penthouse, Tony and I were flopped on the couch watching some crappy show he liked. Nat was posing for Steve who wanted to try sketching her and Bruce was reading some science thing. Thor was in Asgard for the week, taking care of some thunder god stuff I guess.
It was only when the elevator dinged and opened did anyone look away from what they were doing. Anna stepped out, her hair coming out of the bun she had it up looking pretty worn out.
Tony paused the TV, Bruce looked up from his book, Steve paused his drawing and Nat stretched out taking advantage of the break.
Anna smiled tiredly at us.
"Hey guys, I found out I have an early shift so I can't stay and hang out. Just thought I'd say goodnight."
Tony got a pouty look on his face.
"Aww Lisey, come on just stay for a little while. I was just about to make Cap watch Princess Bride for the first time."
She rolled her eyes and shook her head with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Sorry T, it's late and I have to get up early. Oh but you'll think this is cool, I saw a ton of Avengers stuff today. Shirts, hoodies, you name it. I think it was Avengers day at work and I just didn't get the memo."
At this Tony perked up again.
"Really?"
Nodding, Anna started to get back in the elevator.
"I guess you guys are a brand name now. That's pretty awesome if you ask me."
Then with a parting wave the elevator doors closed and the redhead disappeared.
"Bet they were all in Iron Man stuff, the coolest choice obviously."
I looked over at Stark and raised a brow.
"Oh yeah?"
He smirked.
"Yeah, who the hell would want to wear a shirt that says 'Boy do I love arrows'? I mean get real Legolas, I'm way more marketable than any of you."
Sitting up I glared at him, while everyone else ignored him and went back to what they were doing.
"Okay then, if you're so sure how about a little contest?"
Grinning at me Tony nodded.
"I like winning so sure. What're your terms?"
Thinking for a second, I smiled as the answer came to me.
"The kid, whoever can get her to wear more of their stuff wins."
Stark frowned at me.
"You want me to use my sister as an unwitting judge in a game of who is better?"
A devious smirk appeared on his face as he nodded.
"I am so in! Oh and you automatically lose if you tip her off got it?"
Reaching over, I stuck out my hand.
"We give it until she figures it out and then tally up who the winner is."
Shaking my hand Tony smirked again.
"Get ready to lose Merida."
Like hell I will! Time to take him down a peg.
Nat looked over at us and rolled her eyes.
"You are both idiots."
This was gonna be harder than I thought, the sneaky bastard had already made his first move. It hadn't even been two days since Stark and I had made our little bet and here he was getting a jump on it.
"Tony I love it!"
Peering around the corner I could see little red and Tony in the hall outside of one of his labs. He had a shit eating grin on his face when he spotted me.
"It's nothing, I just figured you since you have the coolest brother ever that you should look the part."
I watched as she held up a shirt in front of her, scrubs with matching pants to be specific. They looked just like Tony's Iron Man armor, he'd even rigged the arc reactor to glow somehow.
"Well they're awesome! The kids are gonna love it, thanks so much T!"
I couldn't help but smile at how excited she was, stupid kid and that megawatt smile of hers.
They started to walk off, but Tony looked back at me and smirked at me as if to say 'give up now'. I rolled my eyes and flipped him off before heading the other direction.
He may think he has a leg up but I had an idea that would blow him out of the water. Shell head has another thing coming if he thinks he can beat me.
Let the games begin.
So begins the great merchandising war! There will be lots more of varying length in all the different avengers point of view, including some other Marvel people we all know and love. So if you've got any special requests for this that you'd like to see let me know!
Props to my girl Dinosaur-Ghosts for giving me this idea and for being awesome. Ya'll should totally go check out her story Deeply Yours because it is awesome! And her Avengers story is totes the bomb and is very much worth a read, so go and give her a look.
Also, if you guys have any ideas for one shots, new or continuations of old ones let me know! Always open to ideas and requests.
