Teen!reader: Karma, rain and horror movies.

15 years old

It had been a long day at school today. Your English teacher gave up way to much homework, some kid almost threw up on you, your friend was sick today, you forgot to bring your lunch, the lessons were boring and well.. you could just go on and on. And now, just as you were about to go home, it started raining. And no, you did not bring an umbrella with you. Calling Tony or anyone else to pick you up was also a no because you forgot your phone at home. How does anyone forget their phone? Or rather, how can you have that much karma/bad luck in one day?! It's ridiculous! So yeah, that means walking home.. in the rain.. Great. You would've waited until it stopped raining. Actually you did wait. Two long and boring hours of waiting at school was not something you wanted to do again nor continue doing right now. Not to mention that it was already 17:30 and the school was closing. So yeah, here you were standing outside where it was cold and raining. You had actually walked to school today since the weather seemed so nice. Oh how wrong you were. Now you had to walk back home, but then in the rain. Great. Just great.

The avengers would've been very worried about you if Tony and Clint hadn't managed to get everyone to watch a horror movie. The movie was called "The rain man". It was about a man who had always loved the rain. He was fascinated by it. The sound of the raindrops hitting the street. The splashing sounds everyone made while walking in the rain. It was calming and fulfilling somehow. And that same man who loved the rain so much somehow linked it with something else. It after all did not always rain. There were sunny days where he felt absolutely awful because he couldn't hear the rain. He hated it. So that's why he found a solution for it. He noticed that blood drops made the same sounds. The sounds of blood drops hitting the floor. The splashing sounds he made while walking through the puddles of blood of all the bodies around him. It was calming and fulfilling somehow. So that's what he did. By killing people every day, even when it rained, he would be able to hear those sounds. Only the rain wasn't good enough anymore. There were more calming things now. The screaming and the yelling, all the panic, the color red. It was absolutely wonderful. But he had to say that even though that was something that added to the joy, the dripping and splashing sounds were still the best. He would never be able to get enough of that. So that's why when you hear footsteps, a dripping sound, a splashing sound and nothing else you know that he is coming for you. After all, if someone of your family comes home they would say "Hello, I'm home!", right?

It was 18:00 when they finished watching the movie. Just in time for dinner.

"That was a.. eh.. g-good movie.." Steve said trying to fit in the time period where it was normal to watch movies like this. Although he was honestly still quite shocked by it.

"S-scared Captain?! W-well I think it was a g-great movie. J-just as I remembered. L-lots of fun." Tony said trying to look like the movie hadn't affected him. Natasha huffed at his failed attempt to look cool. She seemed to be the only one unaffected.

"W-what? No, of c-course not! Y-you on the other h-hand seem to have q-quite a lot of p-problems with it." Steve said still trying to calm down and sound normal again.

"You guys are all being ridiculous. You all look scared to death to me." Clint said. He didn't stutter but you could see he looked just as pale as the others and a bit shaky. He was obviously just as effected by the movie as they were. Thor and Bruce on the other hand weren't making any sounds at all. They were still staring at the screen with wide eyes. Thank god Bruce didn't turn green. Thor wouldn't have been affected by it that much wasn't it for the fact that this was one of his first movies. The concept of movies being fake was hard to understand. He knew movies were fake, but still.

Just at that moment they could hear the lift going up. The only sound that could be heard was the lift going up and a dripping sound. The sounds weren't even that loud but.. they still managed to hear it. They slowly stood up facing the lift. Not one of them looked brave though. They were shaking and staring at the lift with wide eyes. Everyone was preparing themselves for the worst while still listening to the dripping sounds. Except for Natasha who was watching the avengers with an amused expression on her face. She seemed to be the only one who didn't forget about one small detail. They all, except for one, got into a fighting stance and took a deep breath.

The lift doors slowly opened and they could hear the splashing sounds of footsteps. A dark figure came into view with long hair and.. wait what? Long hair? They all blinked a few times before coming to the realisation that it was you looking extremely wet and.. annoyed? The avengers slowly lowered their fists suddenly remembering the fact that you were supposed to be home like two or three hours ago. Not to forget that they actually forgot about you. They should have been worried. They should have flown to your school or they could have called you or something. Wait, why hadn't you called them instead? You could have told them you were coming home late.

"(Name), where were you? What happened? Why didn't you call us if you were coming home late?" Steve asked trying to sound stern. But the guilt of not checking up on you and the fact that he was extremely worried didn't help.

You just huffed and looked even more annoyed then before. Which confused them since you had never been that grumpy before. You could get frustrated sometimes, yes. But you were never pissed off. Well, there is a first for everything.

"Today is what happened." You said apparently not wanting to talk about it.

The others just frowned and then sighed. "Alright, alright. Now sit down and tell us about it. It's obvious that something is wrong." Bruce said while pushing you on the couch. You frowned and opened your mouth to protest but was cut off by Tony: "Nope. No buts." You frowned even more when Thor and Clint sat next to you and started to dry you of with lots and lots of towels. You just wanted to get back to your room and go to sleep. They didn't let you though. No matter how much you tried they were just too strong. In the end you gave up and waited until they were done. Two minutes later your hair was dry. Finally. You looked at them confused when you saw they were trying not to laugh. Natasha had a small smile on her face when she pointed to your hair. The moment you touched your hair you understood what they were laughing about. It was a mess because of the rain. You blamed it on Thor and Clint.

"Sooo... Why.." Tony said while pointing at you multiple times while waving his arms in an overdramatic way "..this?"

"He means to say: Why are you so frustrated today?" Bruce said while hitting Tony on the head.

"Because everything! The teachers were being totally unfair and annoying today, some stupid kid almost threw up on me, (friend name) was sick today, I forgot my phone at home, I tripped five times today, I forgot my lunch and it started raining just when I wanted to go home. And no I did not bring an umbrella with me. So I decided to wait until it stopped raining. Which it did NOT. So I had to walk home in the rain just because I thought the weather would be nice today. Not to mention that I kept stepping in puddles because I couldn't see anything in the dark." You said while letting your head rest against the couch.

"No need to feel frustrated about it anymore. I get that it might not have been the best day of your life. But at least it's over. You're home now. Let's make the rest of the day fun." Steve said calmly while smiling softly at you.

"I guess we will just have to make you smile again then." Clint said while grinning and started tickling you. Thor soon joined in. You did your best not no laugh. Honestly you did. But.. you just couldn't help it.

You should've been ticked of for the rest of the day. Sleeping and eating chocolate seemed like the best solution to feel close to alright again. So why was it that a few sentences and a lot of tickling from your family made you smile so quickly? This day didn't seem like a day that would get better. It was only getting worse. But now all of that didn't matter anymore. Just the fact that they were there was enough to make you smile again.

"Sooo… Do you want to watch a movie? It's about rain." Tony said while grinning at you. Steve hit him on the head for that. "Why does everyone hit me today..?" Tony said in a fake sad voice trying as hard as he could to look innocent. "Because you're an idiot." Natasha said making everyone laugh. They were seriously happy that you were laughing again. That scary movie suddenly didn't seem so scary anymore.

Everyone stood up as fast as they could while screaming and running out of the room. They somehow managed to drag you and Natasha with them.

Just then the lift opened and Fury stepped out.

"I got a mission for… Where is everyone…?"
