"I'm actually surprised Pepper let you back in the bed after just two weeks." Clint said.
"Me too." Tony admitted. "The studio got a lot of calls asking if they were serious about putting Avengers on that show. They had asked if they could get the rest of you on it. But two of us don't need to anymore."
"Jealous." Natasha said leaning into Steve's embrace. "Just like how you were jealous at how strong Steve and Thor were when you made them arm wrestle.

One bored Tony Stark stared at the two blond men before him. The super soldier and the thunder god.
Only a few weeks had passed since Loki's crazy invasion and the Avengers found themselves located in the newly remodeled Stark Tower. The six members had agreed that at least once a week they should be able to get together to bond and work on establishing friendships.
Right now, Tony just saw a lazy afternoon in front of him and it was slowly dragging on.
Until he got an idea.
"Hey, which of you two would win in an arm wrestling contest?" he suddenly asked.
"What?" Steve asked and Thor just looked confused.
"What is this contest?" he asked.
"It's just a contest to see who is stronger in terms of arm strength." Natasha explained. "You hold each other's hand and try to push their hand down to the table top. If you can then you win."
"I was part of too many of those in my day." Steve said in a bored tone.
"You won all of them, didn't you?" Clint asked with a smirk.
"Every single one." Steve answered. "That's how I was able to get enough money to buy my second Harley motorcycle."
"Well, just for kicks, let's see who would win between you and Thor." Tony said.
"Yes, Captain, let's partake in this contest." Thor said with a large smile.
"Alright." Steve agreed. "Not much else to do."
"Good. The rest of us can make bets." Tony mused as they moved to the granite island bar.
"We can't afford your bets Tony." Bruce said as Clint showed Thor how to position his arm and hand.
"Besides, you said this was just for fun." Natasha reminded.
"Spoil sports." Tony lightly muttered as Clint placed his hand on top of Steve's and Thor's.
"Ready?" the archer asked.
"Ready." the two answered.
"One...two...three...Go!"
The two men began to try to push the others hand down toward the counter top. Thor quickly had an upper hand since he already almost had Steve's hand toward the granite surface.
"Come on, super soldier!" Tony cheered. "You're the strongest human on Earth!"
"Human!" Steve emphasised. "Not much of a mach for the god of thunder."
"You are still very strong." Thor said. "You're the first human to nearly match me like this."
"Except when it comes to eatting." Clint reminded. "He nearly matches you there. Not like me when I tried to beat you eatting those steaks."
Thor let out a chuckle that was cut short when it allowed Steve to put them back at the starting position.
Both of them were starting to turn red in the face as they continued to struggle getting the others hand toward the countertop.
Tony watched with amazement as the two nearly matched in strength. While he had to wear his suit to come close to matching the same strength that they possessed, theirs was natural.
It made him a little envious.
The two had looks, great status', power that was their own to use and had great strength.
"You both suck." Tony declared which caused everyone to turn questionings eyes toward him.

"It was a great challenge." Thor declared. "We should continue it again friend Steven."
"I'm up for it." Steve replied.
"And Tony, did you learn not to randomly admit things?" Bruce asked.
"Barely." Tony answered.
