"Thor, I bet you can't make Tony blush." I challenge, sitting next to him on a couch. It's been quite a few hours since I woke up. I'm going to leave soon, but I need a reason. In the meantime, I'm bored out of my mind since I've already planned how to infiltrate the warehouse. He turns, grinning broadly, but before he can say anything I continue. "If you do, I'll buy you ten poptart boxes. If I get him to blush, you have to let me turn you into..." I pause, thinking of the most embarrassing think I can. As I do, I smirk darkly. "A mouse. A tiny little mouse with huge gray ears and a pink nose." I finish, teasing him.
Thor grins, brows tilted in thought. "I accept this challenge!" He roars, standing up with a swish of his red cape. Without my consent, he hauls me up and into his arms and hugs me to his chest. I kick my legs, trying in vain to touch the floor, scowling as he hugs me tightly. I can hardly breathe. I hear a small crack as my back pops, making me groan in slight pain. I manage to move my head to glare up into his eyes, scowling even more at his innocent look of purposeful enjoyment. Seeing my glare, he only tightens his grip and even spins in a circle a few times.
"Thor, big guy, you know I'm not overly fond of you turning me into a pancake." I wheeze. He lets go, mumbling a small sorry shyly. Rolling my blue and grey eyes, I turn and walk to the lab haughtily. He follows behind me like a puppy. For just a second, I hear a third pair of steps right beside me. My eyebrow twitches, and I fight the urge to spin around to see anything. I keep going towards the lab, deciding to take the stairs instead of the elevator. We make it do the hall where the lab is and stride down.
Making it to the door, I turn and smirk at Thor, who's right behind me. "You win, you get poptars. I win, you get to be a mouse. Have fun." With that, I shove him into the lab. I lean against the doorway, watching as he tries in vain to make Tony blush. He tries dirty jokes, making comments on his muscles and countless other things. Finally, after several minutes, He walks towards me. My smirk only widens, turning into a victorious grin.
"I admit defeat." He says, scowling. I chuckle.
"Well, let me show you how it's done." I say, moving away and approaching my twin. "Tony." I call with a smile, beckoning him. Confused, he does as I asked. His chest glows a familiar blue where his heart used to be. I lean into his ear, cupping my hands over my mouth. "I know you like Bruce." I whisper. When I pull away, his face is bright pink, nearly red. I kiss his nose as he glares at me, but glances at Bruce from the corner of his eye. "Love you, Tony. You're the best twin ever. Yadda yadda yadda." I joke, moving to Thor. The giant blond Teddy bear gawks at me in shock, jaw slack. I raise an eyebrow, smirking evilly. It dawns on him that I get to turn him into a mouse.
"So, I can either turn you into a mouse now-" Thor sprints away. I stare after him blankly before rolling my eyes and sighing. "-Or you could do that. Yeah. Okay." I mutter. Phasing into a cheetah I race after him. I make it to his side in seconds. Pouncing on him, I touch my tail to his cheek teasingly and send magic through it. Within seconds, instead of being a mouse, he's a wolf. I phase into one as well and growl, pulling my ears back. I haven't gone against someone as an animal in a long time. Tony's Arc Reactor doesn't fit any animal, so he has to stay human. Before, though, he would let me fight with him as an animal nearly every day. Now we can't.
Not missing a beat,Thor growls back, his own ears dropping against his head. We both circle the other, one Blue and one grey eye watching an electric blue pair. He lunges first, just as I suspected. Having prepared for it, I duck to the ground and bite at his haunches. He whimpers and yelps, tugging on his back leg as he crashes onto the floor. I dig my teeth into his fur, just enough to indent his skin but not draw blood. He turns his head, burying his fangs into my tail. I feel the blood go through my fur. Instantly, I get pissed, but try to remember this is the Teddybear's first time as being an animal it's hard to control. The first animal I ever turned into was a horse.
Clint races in into the room, having heard the yelp from me. He stares at us. "Who's who?" I flick my ears to the right twice, while Thor doesn't do anything but try to nip at me again. It's a code for 'I'm Vi'. He settles down, watching us carefully, sitting on the edge of the couch as a precaution. Thor yanks on my tail, making me release a small whimper and let go. He bites at my throat, making me growl lowly. Before he can take a single step back, I reach up and bite his throat, throwing him against the ground. I growl again, pissed off. He growls back weakly. I dig my teeth slightly harder into his skin. Nearly able to draw blood.
"Violet." I hear Tony call. I take a few steps back from Thor, nodding my head. I notice he doesn't nod back. After I turn away, I hear him try to silently stand. I shift into a Kodiak Bear, the biggest kind aside from a polar bear, and turn to face him. I growl lowly, lumbering towards him. He climbs onto my back, biting at the thick fur. His teeth barely make it to me skin. Having chosen this form for a reason, I wait until he crawls onto my back before smirking.
Huffing out a laugh, I plop onto on my back. He whines, pushing against my weight. Clint roars out "Victory to Violet Stark!" While Nat smiles and inclined her head at me. Now only teasing, I stretch my back. I hear Thor whine more. Rolling off of him, I change back into myself. He yelps when I move away to go to the lab. He dances around my legs, electric blue eyes begging me to turn him back. I smirk down at him.
"You do realize I never said when I would turn you back, right? And trying to attack me when I turned by back added on another animal I could turn you into, so." I trail off, my smirk widening when Thor tries to run. Snapping my fingers, I turn him into a mouse and make a cage appear out of nowhere, him inside of it. At his angered squeaks, I smile.
Bending low, I rub the top of his head. "Aww...Is little mousie Thor mad? Poor baby." I taunt childishly, using a baby voice. I take my hand out of reach before he can bite me.
"I'll turn you back in a few hours, yeah?" I say over my shoulder, walking down the hall. I smirk again. "There is no way Tony will let me out in a few hours." I murmur, chuckling. It feels as if someone was chuckling right next to hairs of the back of my neck are raised, tingling unpleasantly.
Blinking to cover my sudden awareness, I keep walking though my smirk falls off of my face and is replaced by a small, thoughtful scowl. Glancing to my side, I keep a smirk hidden when I see small twitch in the air. I look back ahead. Slightly going faster, I arrive to the lab within three minutes. Tony is hunched over a table, fiddling with something.
He turns and grins at me warmly, though I see a flicker of caution in his eyes. Figuring that means something is up, I cross my arms and stroll into the crowded, untidy lab. All the while, I stare at Tony cautiously. He beckons me over, a cloth hiding something on the table. Eyeing it, I slowly step towards him, and end by his side sooner than I would like. I keep eyeing the cloth as he starts to yammer on. Impatient, I yank the cloth off. I snap my gaze to his when I see what it is. Loki's scepter. I know the power that it holds. Last time I touched it, I nearly died.
"No."
I turn, stepping away. A firm grip on my wrist makes me pause and look at Tony from my peripheral vision. He's giving me a pleading my fists, I wrench my grip from Tony's. It hurts. It really hurts to know that my twin could have me die for an experiment.
"Vi, it's safer. I promise, I fixed it. I-"
Turning, I say nothing as I glare at him, my eyes darkening dangerously. "No." I growl. His brown eyes fill with guilt and anguish as he looks at my feet. It happens too fast for me to stop it. The suit closes around me except for my left hand that's led to the scepter. And then I scream. Fire floods in my veins, my body weak. My vision goes black. I don't hear anything but my scream. The suit hot and stuffy. I can't breathe. Betrayal engulfs me along with torture. My fingers are stiff around the hot golden metal of the scepter, the metal growing scalding hot. My voice cracks, becoming inhumane. More animal than anything. I try to thrash and squirm, but I can't move. My veins feel like they're being burned with acid, my heart throbbing with fiery passion. It hurts. My muscles jolt and tense. My fingers twitch. I start to hear panicked cries.
It stops. I'm breathing hard, my hair sticking to my neck and forehead. Tony is cradling me, murmuring apologies under his breath with other calculations. My vision is tunneled and blurry. My head feels like it's split in half. It hurts to breathe. I rasp for air. Cool tears race down my face. Though I'm already forgetting the pain, I don't forget how Tony forced me to grab the scepter. I push him away, my whole body shaking. I don't make a sound as I flee from the room, my whole body sore and aching. Ice seems to surround me and I run. I ram into walls. Running passed Thor, I barely touch him to urn him back. I hear him let out a grunt and then race after me. I can hardly seen two feet in front of me as I crash through a window. I don't scream as I free fall. My limbs are tired. The ground rushes towards me, dizzily fast.
My body goes on overdrive as I phase into a bird, my wings open as I arch to the sky. Betrayal. Tony has never don that. It makes me wonder if something is getting in his head. Stress? Exhaustion? Neither are good enough excuses. I dive to the pond in the park, sitting idly on the water. It's nearing the time to go to the warehouse, but I don't know if I can do it. I'm so tired. I shut my eyes, not wanting to sleep, yet my body aches for it. I can't open them again.
Shit, dude XD
