The Day Of The Avengers Haunting!
"Petey why don't you believe me!" Morgan whinned. She was pouting her lips at Peter which he found way too cute to ignore.
"It's not that I don't believe you but are you sure that you saw a ghost?"
"Yes Petey. It was white."
Peter thought for a while. None of the Avengers had a white costume so it can't be them and he couldn't deny the fact that he himself had sometimes felt that there was something wrong in the tower. I mean they have fought aliens and other worldy creatures, are ghosts really that far?
"You know I do believe you Morgan. I too have sometimes felt a presence"
"Yay I knew it! " Morgan exclaimed.
"Why did you know Moguna?"
The voice startled both of them. They looked up to see Tony leaning on the door of Morgan's bedroom. Both Tony and Pepper had to leave for work so Peter was on babysitting duty for his 3-year old baby sister. Not did he mind it because he loved spending time with Morgan who absolutely adored her big brother.
"Daddy you're back" Morgan ran to her dad who picked her up.
"What were you two talking about?"
"Daddy we think there's a ghosty in this tower"
"What?" Tony asked, amused.
"Yes, even Petey believes that. "
Tony turned to look at Peter who looked at him sheepishly and Tony couldn't help but snark.
"So you Ghostbusters believe that the tower is haunted?"
"Mr. Stark! We are not kidding. I also have felt a ghastly presence."
"I don't know, must be Barnes!" Tony smirked. Morgan went back to winning.
"Why don't you believe us Daddy?"
"Because, I've build this tower, if there were ghosts I would know. And we have enough other worldy 'mommy's word' to deal with. But good imagination you guys. Now come on, it's time for lunch. " Saying so Tony left.
Morgan looked at Peter with her big puppy eyes," He doesn't believe us, Petey"
An evil smirk played on Peter's lips.
" Do you want to make them believe?"
"Yesssss" Morgan cheered.
The next evening....
Steve was getting ready to make dinner for everyone. It was his duty cause either they didn't know how to cook or were too lazy. He was preparing the spaghetti when he felt a brush of air at the back of his neck. Like someone breathed. Then he felt some one grabbing his neck. He smiled thinking it was Natasha.
"Nat, honey, I'm making dinner. What are you doing?"
No response.
"Nat" Steve called out and turned around but there was no one. It was strange. He knew Natasha can be sneaky but he would have at least sensed her leaving due to his heightened senses. He was confused, when Natasha walked in with Wanda.
"There you are. Where did you go?"
Now it was Natasha's turn to be confused. "What are talking about?"
"Stop messing with me Nat"
"I genuinely do not understand what are saying?"
" You mean weren't here a minute ago?"
Now Wanda spoke, "No Steve, she was with me the whole time. We were in the terrace"
Steve grimaced. Then what was that.
"Anything wrong?" Natasha asked, concerned.
"Umm no. It's nothing."
Sam came to the kitchen along with Tony and Bruce. "Hey pal, watcha cooki'n?"
Just as he said it, all the lights went out.
"What the f***" Natasha cursed.
"Hey, Language. Cap doesn't like that kind of talk"
"Please shut up Tony" Steve said, exhausted that they still haven't let go of this joke.
Bruce on the other hand was the effient one and had started to operate the main power from his phone, cause he could that apparently.
"Tony, the main power is perfectly running. There's nothing wrong with it".
"Then what happened?" Wanda asked. But nobody replied. Everyone was frozen in their place.
"Whats up?" but Wanda didn't need the answer anymore because she too could see the white floating figure in front of them. It was almost blended in the background.
"What the hell is that?" Tony said in a slightly high pitched voice but he was over taken by Sam's scream, "Oh my Goddddd!! It's a ghost!!"
Wanda and Tony who pulled in Bruce stuck to Sam whereas Steve and Natasha were still skeptical.
"I don't think it's a gho...." She couldn't even finish when the figure launched at them and all of them dashed to run away. It was very dark so nobody could see anything and in panic didn't even think to use a torch light or Wanda's power. As they were running in the dark, Sam bumped into someone and fell on them making the others halt and fall on them too. There was so much screaming when the lights turned on. It turned out that Sam had fallen on Rhodey and Bucky who were also wondering in the dark.
"Get off me, you dumbass". Bucky screamed and pushed Sam off him. Eventually all of them got up.
"Why were you all running in the dark? What happened to the light?" Rhodey asked.
"Rhodes there was a ghost and it attaked us"
"Ahh Tony are you kidding me?" Rhodey asked in disbelief. Wanda chipped in, "It's true there was a ghost".
Suddenly something came down swinging in front of them, upside down. Everyone screemed loudly but stopped when they heard a laughter. Coming to senses, Tony finally realised who it was.
"Peter! What are you doing here?"
Peter took of his halloween mask and got down. He couldn't stop giggling. "Oh my God you should have looked at your faces".
"So it was you?" Natasha asked.
"See I always said this kid is a problem." Sam nodded and agreed with Bucky.
"Thank God the hulk didn't come out. You shouldn't be doing this Peter." Bruce sighed. Steve was feeling kind of embarrassed for getting scared like that. Natasha wasn't even phased.
"But if you're here, who was there in the kitchen? And the lights. " suddenly Wanda asked.
"Oh that, I had a bit of help. Mr. Loki, you can come out now"
Green smoke filled the room and Loki appeared along with Morgan. She couldn't stop giggling as well.
Tony sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have let you here. And what are you doing with him Moguna?"
"Hehe we scared you Daddy!"
"Earth's mightiest heroes, scared by the most simplest horror tricks. This visit was certainly entertaining spiderling. Thor is going to love this story" Loki remarked with a smirk.
By now everyone was comfortable and relieved that it wasn't real and a bit embarrassed for reacting like that. They were the Avengers for God's sake.
" Okay Peter you gotta stop hanging out with Loki and go home now"
"But Mr. Starkkkk!" Peter whinned.
"No kid it's your punishment and it's a school night anyways"
Peter pouted.
"Do you want me to call your Aunt?"
"Ugh fine."
All along, Steve had a grim expression.
"Whats the matter, punk?" Bucky asked, noticing his face.
"Oh nothing it's just how did you breath behind my neck?"
"What?" Peter asked tilting his neck.
"In the kitchen. Before the lights went out. Was it Loki too?"
Loki looked genuinely confused, "I didn't anything like that"
"Oh cut the crap Loki" Natasha said.
"I'm not lying. I genuinely didn't do that Captain. Our plan started from turning of the lights"
Steve's eyes went wide.
"Then who was that......."
