Soon, everyone was settled back in and munching on various snacks. Steve and Thor were both sporting some interesting hairdos from an exciting lesson on how NOT to get Pop-Tarts out of a plugged in toaster. Tony was muttering about how he wished he could throw Mjolnir out the window in payback for his toaster being broken. Natasha and Clint were snickering on the couch, and Bruce was sighing exasperatedly about the insane group of people he called his friends.
"Everyone ready?" Steve asked, trying in vain to flatten his hair, which was singed at the ends, causing another round of laughter from the two assassins.
"Ready for what?" Everyone turned around to see Pepper in the doorway. "Is this where you have been hiding out all day? I ended up having to ask JARVIS where you were."
"S.H.I.E.L.D sent us a bunch of film reels on Steve's life in the war, just from security cameras." It was Bruce who answered. "We've been watching them all day."
"Well, my paperwork is done, mind if I join you?"
"Not. At. All." Tony answered and kissed her on the cheek when she joined him on the couch. Steve zoned out while Pepper was being caught up-to-date, and considered what he had seen, and what he would see. Steve knew it was harder for Tony than he made it seem, but he hoped that Pepper would be able to help him through.
"Everyone ready?" After receiving an affirmative Steve flicked the switch, causing the screen to flicker to life.
"Fondue's just cheese and bread, my friend."
Howard's voice was heard offscreen, causing everyone to laugh, Steve to turn red, and Pepper to look confused. "Aw, shut up."
"Really? I didn't think..." Steve responded, a tone of surprise in his voice.
"Nor should you, pal." Howard interrupted him.
"Dangerous activity, thinking is." Clint stated very seriously before breaking down into laughter with the rest.
"The moment you think you know what's going on in a woman's head, is the moment your goose is well and truly cooked."
Natasha and Pepper rolled their eyes at each other.
"Me, I concentrate on work, which at the moment, is about making sure that you and your men do not get killed." He and Steve were finally on screen, heading to a table. Howard indicated a fabric laying on the table, "Carbon polymer. Should withstand your average German bayonet. Although... Hydra's not gonna attack you with a pocket knife."
"That would be a sight to see!" Tony laughed, the thought of people fighting a war with pocket knives... Though, he reasoned grimly, rubbing a scar on his cheek, knives could definitely cause harm. Pepper squeezed his hand, nothing got past her.
I hear you're... Kind of attatched?" This he said in reference to Steve's stage shield, now very beat up.
"It's handier than you might think." Steve reasoned.
Most of the group snorted. "Handy" was a gross understatement.
"I took the liberty of coming up with some options." Howard gravitated over to a table covered in different types of shields, both the top and bottom racks full. He tapped a big rectangular one. "This one's fun. She's been fitted with electrical relays that allow you to..."
Most chuckled, Tony and his father seemed to have quite a few similarities, not just looks.
"What?" the billionaire questioned, to which they all just shook their heads; no matter how alike the two were, Tony wouldn't want to hear it.
Steve wasn't listening to Howard. "What about this one?" He asked, grabbing a very familiar circular shield from the bottom shelf.
"No, that's just a prototype." Howard objected.
"Whats it made of?" Steve already seemed to have his mind set on that one, holding, spinning, and putting it on, ignoring the other man's objection.
"Vibranium. It's stronger than steel and a third the weight. It's completely vibration absorbent."
"Oh yes, it was able to take a blow from Mjolnir and not hurt the captain." Thor stated.
Steve's eyes widened slightly. "How come it's not standard issue?"
"Yes, because all men fight with shields." Tony commented sarcastically, but was ignored.
"That's the rarest metal on earth. What you're holding there, that's all we've got." As Howard spoke, Peggy came on screen.
"Are you quite finished, Mr. Stark? I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business."
There was a bite to her words, causing both movie-Steve and twenty-first-century-Steve to flinch.
"What unfinished business?" Bruce asked curiously.
Steve blushed. "Never mind that." His evasive tone caused everyone to exchange glances.
"What do you think?" Steve showed her the shield.
Peggy considered for a moment, then grabbed a handgun off of a table next to her. Steve realized what she was doing just in time to put the shield in front of his face, hiding as Howard dived behind a table. She fired three shots that hit the canter of the shield before calmly putting the gun down. Howard cautiously emerged, as did Steve.
"Yes, I think it works." the agent turned and walked away, leaving two stunned men staring after her.
The people in the theater weren't faring much better. Then the silence broke. "What did you Do?"
"It was nothing!" Steve's flaming red face told a different story. For once, the others decided not to press him; they'd save that for later.
"I like her!" Natasha chuckled.
The two men stared dumbfounded at the woman walking away. Steve passed Howard a folded up piece of paper. "I had some ideas about the uniform."
"Whatever you want, pal."
The film ended, leaving the Avengers to laugh at the latest scene.
"Ready for the next one?" Steve asked, anxious to avoid questioning about what Peggy was mad about. He received a few nods and went to setting up the next one. As he read the label, he smiled. This one would be interesting.
A/N- Didn't turn out as I planned, but I hope you liked it! Virtual cookies to whoever reviews! Please let me know what you think!
