Halloween Costumes
It was one Samhain night.
Samhain. Halloween. The night where the barriers between worlds are the weakest.
A night for magic to celebrate.
Even the super-criminals of New York knew the significance of Halloween. It was on this day that the magical side kept truce. The day when Doctor Strange would kick heads in if ever a magical crime was committed, and Mistress Harkness and Wanda Maximoff would help him.
However… the three had never seen anything quite like it…
Archangel of the X-Men was dressed in the lime-green version of his X-uniform. Matching him was Shadowcat, who had become decked out in tight red spandex which was mostly bared around the arms and shoulders and left nothing to the imagination, with red flames flickering around her wrists and ankles. A gold crown which fanned out her long hair topped the ensemble off. Rogue had taken to decking out in a leaf-green leaf-like dress with red silk tights and a black crown over her white bangs, while Phoenix had worn a schoolgirl-like ensemble of orange and white, white a samurai-style helmet with ragged edges around the face topping it off.
"What," Professor Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, exclaimed once he had gotten over the collective shock of the X-Men's costumes. "Is. That."
There was a collective feeling that the X-Men thought that the Prof wanted to say more, but refrained from it.
"The Avengers' costume party theme is 'Duel Monsters', in honour of their guest of honour," Shadowcat explained. "We're going as the Elemental Heroes! Look, I'm Burstinatrix, Rogue's dressed as Poison Rose, Jean's going as Lady Heat, and Warren's going as Avian! Logan's going with us, don't worry." she added as an afterthought.
Professor X decided he had to worry the moment Wolverine strolled into his office dressed in bright shiny gold armour.
The Avengers, as a rule, never went to a costume party out of costume. That was quite easily said, given how they themselves were often the hottest choice of costume in Halloween. However, in keeping with the theme of the year's party, they had… adapted.
Except for Thor.
"Thor," Wasp sighed, face-palming. "Unless you can show me a Duel Monster that dresses like you, you have to pick a costume."
Smiling slightly, the Thunder God revealed said card which read: Thor, Lord of the Æsir.
Iron Man, dressed as Gearfried the Iron Knight, laughed. "Well, at least this time they can't fault us for anything!"
Wasp scowled, dressed as Amazoness Queen. "Don't make me come over there and hit you."
"I wonder what's the Cap'n going as?" Iron Man immediately changed the subject.
The champion of America immediately appeared, prompting a fresh bout of laughter as the three super-heroes feasted their eyes on Captain America… as Captain Gold.
"If this is bad I don't even want to think what's Spidey going as," Iron Man chuckled.
