HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI! Ok... I'm so sorry! I promised I'd update more, and I haven't, I'm sorry, here, have some cookies...

Well, finals sucked. They were two weeks ago and I'm still recovering. I was planning to bust out my summer reading the first week out, so I wouldn't be doing it at the last minute. We're reading The Princess Bride. Well, it could have been worse... Anywho, I didn't, and have discovered a new fandom... MERLIN! Only on season 3, don't spoil. OMGRD, sometimes I just wish Arthur new, and then other times I want to burn UTHER at the stake, the hypocritical bastard. Wait, off topic. Ok, this is a random chapter, because I really wanted more Riley/Tony mischief, in response to several PMs I got, no, none of the siblings will ever become a pairing. I truely just love the whole sibling dynamic to everything. I read these types of avenger fics for that reason. Also, because someday I want to be Riley at a club, but considering my antisocialness (it's a word now), and my zero confidence in my body, I probably won't. Plus... My dancing skills include bopping my head and tapping my foot to the beat. Yeah. Anways, enjoy!
Six months after Afghanistan, Riley was sitting in front of an hyperactive Tony, plotting. The two 'twins' of the little family were evil giggling and writing something down on a paper in front of them. Evan and Jace watched them wearily from the kitchen. Jace raised his eyebrows at a particularly excited laugh coming from Tony. Jace slowly looked to Evan.
"Think we wanna know?" Evan took a drink of his beer.
"Probably not. It doesn't seem world threatening yet…" Jace nodded, turning back to the evil gigglers.
"How do we know if it's world threatening again?" Jace asked after a moment. Evan froze, turning wide eyed to the mocha skinned man next to him.
"Uhhhh…" Suddenly, a loud 'BANG' was heard. The two spun toward the sound. Through the glass doors, Jace and Evan could see Tony and Riley sprinting down the hall, Tony yelling something to Jarvis as he went. The boys gave each other a glance, and sprinted after them.

They didn't end up catching them that day. When confronted for the next week about it, they never answered. And with the two of them sneaking off day after day for a few hours, the older brothers knew something was up.
It just so happened to be Friday when they really knew that the full extent of Tony and Riley's plan would go into play. The 'twins' couldn't ever sit still, but wriggling like toddlers was a bit absurd. Around nine o'clock, Riley asked if they could all go clubbing. It wasn't an unusual request for her, she asked on a majority of Friday and Saturday nights, but the way she asked it, and the way Tony insisted they go was suspicious.
Evan and Jace just had to give in to a double set of near identical puppy eyes. They got on their clubbing outfits. It was something their sister always insisted on. She said that they needed the experience being sexy. That always made Tony start an argument… But, nevertheless, they humored her. Riley went with a black fishnet shirt, purple bra underneath, and a tight, black leather skirt with ankle-high black wedge boots. Thick mascara and dark eyeliner, and a blood red lipstick topped it off.
Tony wore a sapphire blue dress shirt and black ripped jeans with combat boots. The buttons would probably be undone by a hoard of girls tonight at the club, so they could see his fantastic muscles.
Jace went with a tight, an extreamly tight, v-neck gray shirt, a red leather jacket over that. Dark blue jeans and black converse. His muscles would be cooed over tonight by the women as well.
Evan spiked his hair and temporarily dyed the tips emerald green (Riley had dyed the tips of her hair purple a few weeks ago). A tight-fitting black leather shirt with an emerald green zip-up hoodie. Black jeans and combat boots to add to the look. And they were off.
Photographers mobbed them as soon as they hit the streets, but backed off at their glares. The reporters followed at a distance, snapping photos of their group.
Riley, Jace and Evan had moved all of their work to New York as soon as they heard Tony was going. Riley opened another branch of her law firm, leaving the one in Cali open so she didn't have to fire anyone. Jace had moved to another research firm to help with their groundbreaking work, and Evan could get a job at pretty much any hospital in the world.
They had staged 'first' meetings so they would have an excuse to be seen together in public. A few times they had been taunted for their childish behavior, but they were shoved with the response of 'they are children' by their many fans. Hardworking children, yes. But young men and woman all the same. Plus, they had this charm that made most everyone like them for one reason or another. Most of the time it was lust, but that didn't bother them too much. After all, they were pretty much college kids…
They made it to the club with little difficulty. They entered and immediently were the stars of the show. Evan and Riley ran straight for the dance floor, while Jace and Tony headed to the bar. The latter stopping to flirt with a few men and women that caught his eye.
After Jace had gotten his scotch, he turned back to the dance floor. An upbeat remix of some pop song Riley knew had come on. Evan was swarmed with ladies already, as well as a few men, and was dancing with them. They weren't that close yet, as Evan was more preoccupied with attempting to flirt with them.
Riley, however, was moving her body to the beat in a seductive way, crowded with men and women. All of them pressed their bodies together, rolling their bodies to the beat and letting their hands wander. Riley had a massive sultry smile on her face, loving the attention. She had always been a bit of a diva…
Jace snorted as Evan dove into a kiss with one of the girls, before spinning her and letting her wander back to her friends, a dopy smile and dreamy look on her face. Tony took a sip of his whiskey.
"She always does manage to be the center of attention…" He chuckled. He was right, almost every eye in the club was focused on Riley's group. Riley being the most prone to the lust filled looks. Riley caught her brothers looking at her and winked at them, causing a few jealous looks from nearby men. Tony downed the rest of his drink and went to join his siblings on the dance floor. Women rushed toward him, squealing at the thought of dancing with Tony Stark.
Jace shook his head and laughed.

Around midnight, when the club was at its nightly peak, Jac finally found out what Tony and Riley had been planning. The remix that was playing suddenly stopped, and the lights froze. Most of the mass that Riley and Tony had collected scattered, confused by the sudden stop. Slowly, the lights faded into a brilliant purple on one half of the club, a bright blue on the other. A smaller group split apart, woman dressed identically to Riley on one half with Tony, and men dressed identically to Tony on the other half with Riley.
A song began its beat, the men and woman stomping and clapping to its quick paced, sharp beat. Riley stepped forward, a smile on her face. Tony joined her moments later. The realization hit the oldest Chasseur brothers suddenly. A flash mob. Their baby siblings had orchestrated a flash mob. Jace couldn't help it, he began laughing. He recognized all the dancers. The men were all from Tony's offices, the woman from Riley's. The two groups spun to face each other and were ready for something. Riley smirked and opened her mouth to sing.
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
She entranced the audience with her voice. Even singing a song that wasn't really melodic she managed to captivate everyone with her talented voice.
The way that things have been, oh-ooh Tony Joined in for the line. While Riley was singing, her dancers were, well, dancing, while the dancers on Tony's side simply stayed still. THe all froze as the two siblings sang together.
Second thing second Riley stopped singing and Tony took over. The dancers behind Tony took their turn at dancing
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh Once more Tony and Riley sang together. This time though, both sides began dancing a complicated rhythm.
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain! Once they hit the chorus, the dancing became more and more exciting, the men and women mixing for a spinning, whirling, flying dance that was amazing to watch. Riley and Tony quickly joined the dancers, never faltering in their singing.
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
At the end note, all of the dancers as well as Tony and Riley froze in their final positions, holding them as the echos of the song faded before unfreezing as the amazed audience began cheering. Jace and Evan could hear the paparazzi snapping as many photos as possible, and knew that this would be a news event to entertain for the next week at least.
Riley and Tony had succeeded. They had become the center of attention.
Jace laughed, Evan whooped, and Tony and Riley shrieked in excitement as the dance floor filled up again, moving their bodies to the rhythm and to the pulse of the excited crowd.
Hours later, the semi-drunk foursome were stumbling back to Tony's tower. Jace wasn't exactly sure what had happened to the others, but he vaguely recalled men and women taking shots off of tequila glasses placed on Riley's stomach and chest, Tony and Evan doing the same with another group on another girl a few feet away.
That was a pretty interesting sight…
Point was, they were all slightly hammered-*cough* pretty fucking drunk-, so it was no surprise when they got lost. And somehow ended up in Times Square. IN their intoxicated state, they couldn't help but awe at the bright lights. They ended up taking selfies with tourists, eating street dogs, and admiring the street performers until three in the morning when Happy finally found them jamming out with a saxophone player, much to the amusement of tourists.
Happy finally got the four assassins in the limo. He had to promise Evan a coke and bribe Jace with one of his powdered donuts just to get them in the car. He shut the door quickly, ignoring the drunken bickering coming from the backseat. He sighed, looking up to the heavens in exasperation and amusement. Looking back toward the car, he happened to notice one of the headlines on one of the news boards in the Square.
THe extremly badass photograph of Tony and Riley back to back, looking stoic and serious, the dancers also stood back to back, but arranged in a way that spelled out 'Believer'. Happy grinned. With the amount of publicity this was gonna get, Riley was going to have a field day. He heard a glass break and an 'oh, shit' fall from Jace's lips and sighed.
Maybe he should just worry about getting them home in once piece…
Thanks to my supporters, and my reviewers, and pretty please with ice cream on top review... Please?
