Chapter 11: Trick or Treat: Steve Rogers
Waking up to Tony in my arms was always an amazing feeling. I nuzzled into his neck and he chuckled.
"You're prickly."
"Oh really?"
I rubbed my face in his neck some more. I could tell he was rolling his eyes at me.
"Come on get up we got a long day, we need to prepare the fair grounds." I reminded him.
He groaned as I got up.
"What do we have to do again?"
I chuckled.
"Remember we promised that we would set up a Halloween festival for tonight, we are doing it for the children of New York."
He groaned again.
"Oh yeah, we are."
He grabbed the covers and covered his face with them. I laughed as I put on an old t-shirt and some jeans. Tony was still in bed I could fix that. I creeped over to his side of the bed and threw off the covers. He was clearly caught off. I jumped on top of him and started to tickle him. He is very ticklish.
"HA HA HA HA, CAP STOP, OKAY I'M UP I SWEAR I'M UP, HA HA HA!"
I stopped and smiled. I planted a small kiss on his forehead and got up. He followed behind me heading to his closet.
"See you downstairs," I yelled to him.
I walked out of our room and down to the kitchen for breakfast. Chris was already down stairs fixing a bowl of cereal.
"Morning honey," I said kissing her forehead.
"Morning dad," she replied cheerfully.
I pulled out a bowl as well, and then I looked at her outfit. She was wearing army green SHORT SHORTS and a BLACK TANK TOP! What is she thinking? That is fine if we are walking around the building but not for outside where boys could see her.
"Oh dad by the way I asked some friends from school and the football team if they could help out today and they said they would help out."
My point exactly.
"I thought you didn't like the football team and everyone else on it."
She smiled.
"I did at first but coach finally let me play and apparently I'm pretty good at it, so he and the others turned out to be pretty cool."
Like I said very inappropriate.
"So is that what you're going to wear today?" I asked.
She looked confused.
"Yah, I over heat pretty easily so something that will air out is what I need to wear."
"Yah, but people are coming over and I don't think that's appropriate."
She smiled.
"Dad don't worry it's appropriate I mean come on, you're wearing those tight jeans Tony gave you." She shot back.
I looked down and I realized they were. Tony said they showed off my butt very nicely. I had no come back.
"Besides dad, I'm just one of the guys nothing more."
"Not with that outfit," I mumbled.
I poured my bowl of cereal and sat beside her. The others started to trickle down. When we finished we drove to the park. Bruce had brought all the supplies and we were unloading when Chris's friends showed up. One was a strange small girl and the other was male, very good looking male.
"Dad this is Caitlin and Josh, friends of mine from school. Josh is also on the football team."
The small one ran to Chris and tackled her as Tony came over.
"And that one is my dad fiancé, Tony."
"This is your daddy and you're soon to be dad, well Mr. America and Mr. Iron Man I'm your daughter's bestiest friend in the whole dippity do da world!" she said holding out her hand.
I shook her hand. I looked over at Josh as Chris got back up.
"Hello sirs, now I see why my dad and your dad would have never fought in war together." He commented to Chris.
The both of them started to unload boxes. I looked over at Chris.
"Yah, they are both crazy and really annoying sometimes, but hey they're my friends."
I shook my head. Maybe public school wasn't the best idea. Her teammates came next and they were all very big guys. They helped getting the last few boxes out of the car. I gave them orders and we all started to work. Multiple accidents occurred though. Tony randomly tripped multiple times, a bucket of paint fell on Chris's head, Tony got popcorn all over him, Chris was covered in mustard, and both of them came up with a bunch bruises from a pole that had fallen over five times. I wonder what is going. Also why is it only happening to Chris and Tony? Maybe somebody is trying to mess with us. It could be Loki; I heard he has been out of prison for a while now.
Maybe but for now we have to get this place set up before five tonight.
Tony Stark
THAT BRAT! I can't believe she has all these trick wires set up around this place. I have fallen at least ten times and the popcorn seriously? I still have butter in places I didn't even know I had. But I can't be too mad I did start it this morning when I drew on her face with sharpie. Steve didn't know I was only up last night to get revenge for the suit, it's been a few weeks but it was fun. I saw her walk past me blue was still stuck in her platinum blonde hair. It was a good thing we were all going home soon to clean up and get dressed for tonight.
Chris had gone and picked her own costume out and she won't tell us what it is. Steve told her to just pick something out but nothing super hero themed. That was our job. Steve looked over at me and winked.
"Okay guys time to head out thank you volunteers for the help you can go home and you can come back later but you can't stay here till then." Banner yelled out.
Finally I'm going home and taking a shower. Chris's little perky friend was heading over to Chris's motorcycle. I think she's coming home with us. We got home and the perky girl was with us, why did she bring her here?
"She's staying the night." Chris told me.
God, why does it seem she can read my mind. I watched as she walked upstairs with the puppy. I walked to my room where I found something that brightened my whole day. Cap was standing there stripping down. He turned around and smiled.
"You enjoying the view?"
I nodded my head. I tried to hug him but he pushed me away.
"Darling as much as I love you, you are still covered in so much stuff that I don't want on me, I think you need a shower."
I smirked.
"How about you join me in this shower?"
He laughed.
"Sure, I would love to join you."
I stripped down quickly and started up the shower. We both got in and got squeaky clean. Sadly nothing happened but getting each other clean. Guess Cap was in a hurry to get to the carnival? We got out and when we got dry he started to put on his suit. I just needed to get some regular clothes for the suit.
"Steve is there a reason you volunteered us for this year's carnival?"
He looked down at the ground.
"It has something to do with Chris, doesn't it?"
"A little, I mean I missed so much of this kids life it's not even funny."
I sighed.
"Well, you do still realize she isn't a kid anymore."
"Yah I knew that, but even if she isn't a child anymore I thought this would be great practice in case maybe we decided to have kids."
Cap and I had thought about having kids but we hadn't come to a conclusion on the matter.
"Besides it's a good look for the Avengers to be out in the community."
That's the reason I'm going with. He finished up putting on his suit. I finished getting dressed and walked out with him. The friend was outside in a weird purple and pink costume with cat ears?
"What are you supposed to be?" I asked.
I saw her face and I have to admit I was a little creeped out. She had a huge painted smile on her face and it was all purple. It was done very well.
"I'm the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland."
Steve looked around.
"Where's Chris?"
"She'll be down in a second she's putting on the last pieces of her costume."
I heard the door shut and footsteps. When we looked up Steve's mouth dropped from shock. She was Alice; I could tell that much. Her makeup was done and she was wearing this short blue V-neck dress with a white apron, with striped stockings that went to her knees. She had these black flats and a black headband. It was one of those costumes. I would be surprised if Cap let her out of the house. When she got down stairs Steve decided to talk.
"Uhm honey where is the rest of your costume."
"This is it, I went to the costume store late and this is what the boy, helping in the back, said they had left."
Yah, I don't think that was the case.
"If you want I can get out of this and into some real clothes."
"No it's fine I will have a talk with that boy later."
It was getting late and we needed to get back out to the festival. The rest of the Avengers started to come down in their regular work uniforms.
"So why we doing this again," Hawkeye yawned.
"It's for the kids of New York, give them good safe fun." Chris replied.
He rolled his eyes.
"Again why are WE doing this?"
"To show the world that we can members of society as well as hero's," Cap spoke up.
Most nodded in agreement. Banner came down still in nice clothes and not green at all.
"Hey big guy what happened to dressing up?"
He glared at me.
"You know why I'm not dressing up you big goof, now let's go we're burning day light."
He was right five was coming up soon and we had to be there soon.
Chris Rogers
I walked to my motorcycle and Caitlin jumped on behind me. She started to blab yet again about motorcycles. I just drowned it out. Tony and I had been at each other's throats all day. Pain, popcorn, trip wires, it was all too much. We agreed that we would behave for dad but it all started with that damn sharpie. Now he was gonna pay for it. I found out he had this huge plan to ruin tonight for me and I am ready for it. At any time I want, I have a switch that can turn on his rocket boosters, Hawkeye helped me install them. If he activates whatever plan he has this will get back at him.
We pulled up and saw that a line was already forming. I have to admit we did a pretty good job today. This would be really fun to hang out here but Caitlin and I had a job. We were going to be at the entrance of the haunted house, tempting luring people into the house of horrors, which wasn't too scary in my opinion. I looked back and noticed that everyone was in costume, except Mr. Banner. He thought the hulk was too scary and would make parents distrust us. So he's running the ticket booth. The football team came back man booths and rides. My dad and the other Avengers will be walking around in their outfits and sign autographs.
I laughed as Thor ran around ogling at what he calls the clouds of flavor, cotton candy. Jane was ogling at food, she be at that stage where she wants to eat everything in sight. Dad and Tony were walking around every now and again holding hands. Hawkeye was looking for some alcohol, which there is none. Natasha was just hiding around watching everyone around her. Poor Mr. Barton someone must have crushed him deeply, he's been drinking heavily for weeks. Not in the day, god no. But after hours I would sometimes sneak down and find him drinking.
Those are the nights I would have nightmares. When I do wake I would go downstairs and help him up to his room. He must not remember because he never says a thing to me. He's been pretty distant lately. It makes me sad to not practice with him. Since I have gotten better at shooting and would love to challenge him again.
"Mr. Barton what you're looking for isn't here, it's a kid event remember?"
He looked over at me and chuckled.
"Ugh I knew we should have had an adult section in this blasted place." He grumbled.
"Well, remember you were over ruled, by everyone."
"Thanks for the reminder." He grumbled again and walked off.
I gave a sad smile.
"So is that your boyfriend?"
Where the hell did she come from?
"No he's not that's Mr. Barton."
She looked at me and then at him.
"You seem close."
"We were." I mumbled.
She was about to say something else when all of sudden someone grabbed me and slung me into the air. I grabbed onto the top of the house and pulled myself up. I felt something on my back. I grabbed it and read it, Gotcha. I looked down to the ground and saw Tony laughing his head off. I was stuck on the damn roof. Not for long though. I grabbed the remote and pressed the button. He shot up into the in the air pretty quickly. It also seems he lost control. He shot up and then started rocketing towards me. I dodged quickly and he shot up in the sky again. For a minute I thought he wasn't coming back down but I was wrong.
He dropped from the sky and shot above the haunted house again. This time I wasn't so lucky. He grabbed me and we shot off into the fair.
"What the hell did you do?"
"Rigged your damn suit, you bastard."
"Well, bitch, turn it off now."
I grabbed the remote and pressed the off button. Nothing happened. I pressed it a few more times, it wasn't working.
"It's not working!"
"Oh dear god this is gonna hurt."
Tony ran straight through the popcorn cart, butter completely covering us. We ran right into the Ferris wheel. We spun a few times and were ricochet into the cotton candy machine, getting the sticky sugary substance all over us. We turned another corner and out eyes went wide. We ran right into the nacho station with scalding hot cheese. We knocked a few games over and a huge white stuffed rabbit stuck to my face.
"How much longer till we run out of power?" I yelled.
"Well, let me put it simply we could be at this all night and still have enough juice to go around the world twice."
"Ugh why did you grab me for this ride?" I yelled out again.
"Cause if I'm gonna be tortured you are too."
We probably would have gone all night. But we weren't that lucky. We were now flying towards… Dad! He saw us coming and braced himself. He caught us and we pushed him a few feet back. When he got a chance he stomped on the thrusters to put them out. We could finally rest. I unstuck the bunny from my face and whipped some cotton candy from my hair. Dad looked down at us, he didn't look too happy. I didn't want to look him in the face so I looked behind me. It wasn't much better. We had destroyed a bit of the fair. We are so gonna get it.
