A/N: Thanks to everyone who's favorited or followed this story so far. I give you all hugs!

It was Friday, and Clint had been bored all week. Actually, boredom was an understatement. This was more like being at a convention for watching paint dry. Normally, he got out all of his excess fighting energy at his archery range in the tower, but that wouldn't be possible for another week, courtesy of Purple Tuesday, as the day when his beloved archery range was destroyed and he had a less than civil reaction had come to be known.

For once, Clint was happy to be preparing to leave on a solo mission to who knows where. He still had way to much pent up energy. First he had tried to go to local archery ranges, but none of them were of any quality, and there was always that one smartass that would start describing how he was a "loser" for using a recurve bow as compared to the compound bow. It probably didn't help that one day he lost it (curse those homicidal tendencies that show up around stupid people) and nearly scared one of said smartasses to death. So, local archery ranges were definitely out. It was on Friday night when Clint had finished packing for his away mission the next day that he had a brilliant idea to get rid of his excess energy, well, at least keep it at bay.

He was going to prank them. But first, he needed to pick up his supplies.

One hour later, because there were only two cashiers open at Wal-Mart that night, Clint returned with an air horn, a megaphone, some duct tape, fishing line, a bag full of stuffed animals, and three buckets. There would be no set up tonight. Everything hinged on Steve's daily routine running like clockwork and his plane leaving at precisely 5:15 AM.

Clint woke up at 4:15 that morning. He got ready for his mission, both the actual and the hilarious. First, he filled the three buckets with ice water, and he tied a slipknot in the bag with the stuffed animals. Next, he cut four pieces of fishing line and tied one end to each of the buckets making a lasso with the other end, and one attaching to the slip knotted bag with a lasso at the other end. Lastly, he opened his air vent access point and put the buckets and the bag in the air vent shaft. He grabbed the megaphone, the duct tape, and the air horn and climbed into the air vent. Next stop: Steve's gym.

When Clint dropped out of the air vent, he was in Steve's gym. He checked his watch. 4:50 AM, and he was precisely on schedule. It was time to get on to business! Clint duct taped the air horn to the wall precisely where the door knob will hit the wall as Steve opens the door at 5:15 when he goes to his gym for his daily work out. The megaphone, which has been turned on, is duct taped to the wall right beside the bell of the air horn. Clint still didn't think that would be loud enough to wake everyone else. So, he did what every insane man would do. He taped the PA system so that the on button was pressed down. Now everyone would hear the wake up call. It made Clint so proud. He was also very happy that Steve insisted that the security feed to his gym be cancelled on the grounds that he didn't like being watched. Clint checked his watch. It was 4:57 and time to go.

Once he was back in the air vents he crawled back to his stash of buckets and bag. First stop Tony's room, well, technically, the opening to the air vent right outside of Tony's room. He grabbed one of the ice water buckets and crawled to the vent opening. He threaded the lasso end of the fishing line through the small openings in the vent grate. Then he opened the grate so he could maneuver the lasso onto Tony's door handle. Fortunately, he had measured how much fishing line he would need using his own door, so it was perfectly tense. With the fishing line set, Clint closed the opening and positioned the bucket where any pull on the string would cause it to spill out of the openings in the air vent grate. Clint quickly repeated the process for Bruce and Thor's room. It was now 5:08. There was one room left: Natasha's. No man in his right mind would ever prank Natasha, but Clint wasn't exactly sane, in fact none of the Avengers were. But, he did have some sense of self-preservation. Only a mad man dumps ice water on The Black Widow without expecting some grueling torture in return. That was why Clint decided to go romantic and shower her in cuddly animals, which she fortunately had a bit of a soft spot for. He looped the fishing line around her door handle and taped the bag to the outside of the air vent. Everything was ready. Final watch check: 5:13. So Clint made his way to the aircraft hangar where he boarded his plane to wherever it was that Fury was sending him to.

And the mayhem begins...

At precisely 5:15, Steve Rogers enters his gym. He is instantly greeted with the loudest most horrible sound he has ever heard. If he wasn't a super soldier, he could have sworn that his ears were literally bleeding. The next noise Steve thinks he can hear is a loud splashing sound, three of them to be exact. He runs to where he thinks the sound came from. Before his eyes stand four other Avengers. Bruce, Tony (who is wearing Iron Man pajamas), and Thor (who is wearing Nyan Cat pajamas) are all sopping wet and shivering. Steve sees that Natasha is surrounded by a circle of stuffed animals, and he swore that she smiled! There was no way that he was going to mention that to anyone. He did like living after all.

Tony was the first to break the silence. "Hey Rogers. When did you get the new alarm clock?"

"I didn't get a new alarm clock, Tony."

"That was sarcasm! Jeez, do I need to make you a sarcasm sign."

Bruce took an opportunity to point out that apparently Tony is cranky when he wakes up.

"All right smartass, I'm not cranky because I got woken up. I'm cranky because someone poured freaking ice water on me!"

"Afraid you might short circuit?"

"Shut it Rogers. Now, who did this."

"My lady Natasha, why have you been attacked by the small furry animals?"

Everyone turned to look at Natasha who was picking up all of the stuffed animals.

"Well that answers who did this," grumbled Tony. "It's time to confront that birdbrain. JARVIS!"

"Yes, sir?"

"Where is Agent Barton?"

"Sir, it appears that Agent Barton has gone on a mission for Director Fury. His plane left 7 minutes ago."

"That evil bastard! There will be a vengeance council tonight! I'll see you all in four hours." Tony grumbling went back to bed.

Natasha went to explain what just happened to Thor, and Bruce and Steve went to the kitchen to start some tea and coffee.

Meanwhile, on Clint's plane, Clint received a video call from Director Fury.

"What on Earth did you do, Agent?"

"Well, sir, I gave the rest of the Avengers a wakeup call that they'll never forget."

"The next time you plan on getting funny, do me a favor, and disconnect Stark's line to my phone first. What were you even thinking about when you did this?"

"Yes, sir. The way I see it, I'm just doing my part to keep everyone on their toes."
