5 pranks from peter and natasha
Pranks were commonplace around Avengers Tower ever since Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, had joined the team. The energetic, fun-loving teen seemed to bring out the inner prankster in all the heroes, especially in Natasha Romanoff. The normally stoic Black Widow surprised everyone by embracing her new role as Peter's adopted mom and partner-in-crime when it came to pulling pranks.
Pranks #1 & #2: Glitter Bomb and Whipped Cream Hands
One morning, as the Avengers sat around the kitchen table eating breakfast, Peter and Natasha put their latest pranks into motion.
"Morning, мой паук," Natasha said, ruffling Peter's hair affectionately. "Sleep well?"
"Yep! Ready for some breakfast?" Peter grabbed a box of cereal and went to the fridge for milk.
Natasha hid a smile. "I think you'll like today's cereal selection. I heard Tony stocked up on your favorites."
"Awesome!" Peter reached into the fridge and pulled out an unassuming milk gallon. As soon as he opened it, a huge explosion of glitter erupted, coating him from head to toe in sparkly particles.
"What the heck!" Peter exclaimed, blinking through the glitter.
Natasha burst out laughing. "Gotcha, ребенок паук! I bedazzled your breakfast!"
Peter laughed good-naturedly. "Good one, Mom!"
Natasha's grin softened at Peter's nickname for her. She hadn't expected to take on a maternal role with the teen, but she cherished it.
Just then, the other Avengers wandered in, drawn by the commotion. They took one look at the glitter-drenched, grinning Peter and realized what had happened.
"Not again!" Sam groaned. "That stuff gets everywhere!"
"You two are cleaning this up," Steve said, fighting back amusement.
Natasha shrugged, unrepentant. Peter just kept laughing.
Later, after the kitchen was sparkling clean, Peter decided it was time for a little payback. While Natasha was engrossed in a book, he snuck up behind her armed with a can of whipped cream. Ever so gently, he sprayed a huge mound of cream into her open palm.
Natasha felt the sudden cold sensation and turned to see Peter sprinting away, giggling uncontrollably. With a playful grin, she leapt up and chased after him, wielding her cream-filled hand.
Peter ran into the living room where the other Avengers were hanging out. Natasha cornered him and slapped her whipped cream-covered hand right onto his face!
Peter stumbled back, laughing. "Ack! Mom, no!"
Natasha tackled him onto the couch, ruffling his hair and getting whipped cream all over both of them. The other Avengers watched in amused disbelief as the two dissolved into a silly, giggling mess.
"You two are ridiculous," Sam said, shaking his head.
"But also kind of adorable?" Clint added with a chuckle.
Peter and Natasha just kept laughing, content in their prank-filled bond.
Pranks #3 & #4: Fake Spiders and Scary Sounds
A few days later, Peter decided to really freak out his arachnophobic teammates. While everyone was out of the tower, he snuck into each of their bedrooms and hid dozens of fake plastic spiders all over - in dresser drawers, under blankets, even inside shoes.
Natasha caught him in the act and instantly offered to help. "I'm so proud of you for this idea, маленький паучок," she praised. "Need any help planting these creepy crawlies?"
Peter grinned and handed her a bag of spiders. Soon they had rigged every room with the fake bugs. Then they waited for the screams.
That night, one by one, the Avengers discovered the invading plastic critters.
"ARGH!" Clint shrieked, finding them tucked into his bow case.
Tony flipped out when he put on his Iron Man helmet only to have spiders fall out. "NOPE. So much nope!"
Steve let out a very un-Captain America-like yelp when he pulled back his sheets to reveal dozens of fake spiders. He shuddered. "I hate those things!"
Bruce was relatively unfazed given his tendency to turn into a giant green rage monster, but even he admitted grudgingly, "Not a fan. Really not a fan."
Thor just laughed boisterously at the silly prank.
Through it all, Peter and Natasha tried and failed to contain their laughter.
"Nice one, baby spider," Natasha said with an approving nod. "But now it's my turn."
A few nights later, the team was hanging out watching a movie when suddenly horrifying screams and monster sound effects started blaring through the tower speakers. The Avengers all jumped in fright, looking around frantically, only to find Natasha barely containing her laughter as she held up a remote control.
"Seriously, Romanoff?" Tony said, clutching his heart.
"Gotta keep you on your toes, Stark," she replied with a smirk.
Peter fist-bumped her. "Best mom ever!" he proclaimed.
Pranks #5: Super Soakers
On a hot summer day, Peter and Natasha decided the stuffy tower could use a little cooling off. They armed themselves with giant water guns and set their plan in motion.
Peter crawled along the ceiling, stalking his unsuspecting targets while Natasha snuck through air vents. On Peter's signal, they leapt out and ambushed the Avengers with icy blasts of water.
"What the heck!" Sam yelped as he was soaked.
"Dude!" Clint exclaimed, water dripping down his face.
Tony glared at them through soggy hair. "Really, kid?"
Peter cackled gleefully. Natasha was already emptying her second super soaker.
Within minutes, they had given the entire team an impromptu cold shower. The Avengers tried to fight back, but Peter and Natasha's abilities made them impossible targets. The pranksters high-fived victoriously amidst grumbles about "abusing powers."
"Come on, guys, you have to admit that was refreshing!" Peter said with a grin.
Despite their feigned annoyance, the Avengers couldn't help but smile. The kid's playful energy had brought out everyone's inner child. Maybe the super soakers hadn't been such a bad idea after all.
The Avengers' Revenge
After weeks of enduring Peter and Natasha's pranking spree, the Avengers decided it was time for a taste of revenge. While the prankster duo was out one afternoon, the team hatched their counterattack plan.
When Peter and Natasha returned later, they found the tower oddly empty and quiet.
"Hello?" Peter called out. "Guys?"
"Something's not right, маленький паучок," Natasha whispered. "Stay close."
They ventured further inside and suddenly found themselves ambushed by the Avengers leaping out of hiding! Before they could react, Peter and Natasha were hit from all sides by splatters of paint, silly string, confetti poppers, and slimy goop.
"Ahhh!" Peter yelped, blinded by splotches of paint.
"Incoming!" Natasha yelled as she slipped on a pile of slime.
The Avengers roared with laughter at finally catching the troublesome twosome.
"Not so fun being the target, is it?" Tony gloated, nailing them with silly string.
Peter tried to web away the projectiles, but there were too many Avengers bombarding them. Eventually, he and Natasha collapsed onto the floor in a defeated, goopy pile of giggles.
"Okay, okay, we surrender!" Peter wheezed through laughter.
Natasha blew paint-soaked hair out of her face with an impressed grin. "Well played, team. We've taught you well."
Steve chuckled and helped them up. "All right, I think we're even now."
"Truce, little spiderlings?" Thor boomed, patting their slimy shoulders.
Peter and Natasha exchanged a sly look. "Truce...for now!" Natasha replied.
The prank wars might be on hold, but with this family, mischief was never far away.
