Chapter 4
It was a rare occasion that Shuri and T’Challa were both at the tower in person. T’challa had business in the city and Shuri, having never been wanted to tag along. She also wanted to see Peter because the two immediately hit it off and were constantly messaging each other. Tony had everything set up on the roof for a casual cookout. It was nice to have everyone together. Peter and Shuri were tossing marshmallows into each others mouths while the adults were at the table talking. One of the marshmallows came hurtling at the table and nailed T’Challa in the side of the head falling into his drink. He didn’t even look away from the table
“Who ever threw that your mother is a hoe.” Steve and Bucky lost it leaving everyone except Shuri and Peter who were also in hysterics looking confused. Tony groaned. “Do you mean to tell you you two actually know one of the kids stupid internet jokes?” After a few more minutes of laughter Steve looked up. Wiping the tears from his eyes as he answered, “That sentiment has been around longer than the internet.” Bucky was still laughing. “Remember that time with Peg and the Boot?”
Wanda grabbed some marshmallows. “Is there a story to go with that?” He nodded “It’s a good one. So it was the first night I was around the Howlies. Buck and I were at the bar talking when suddenly a soggy biscuit nails me in the back of the head. Buck without lookin’ to see who threw it says who ever threw that your mothers a whore. Sadly it was Dum Dum who threw it and he was drunk and did not take kindly to someone insulting his mother. Shuri for your point of reference Dum Dum Dugan was bigger than me. Buck actually did beg forgiveness when he realized what he had done but it was too late.”
“So he got his ass kicked huh?”
“Nope. First Dum Dum made him eat the biscuit. Then he had to wash it down with a beer drank from Dum Dum’s boot but not until the beer sat in there a bit and got super gross. If you have ever been around a sweaty gross army boot you will know the beating was probably better. But Buck decides rather than get his ass pounded into the ground he will do it but before he can drink beer Peg comes in and…”
At this point he can’t stop laughing and Bucky attempts to take over. “She thinks this is some stupid prove yourself contest and I told her I wasn’t choosing to to this. She rolled her eyes and insisted it was more stupid than horrible. I told her I wouldn’t even ask her to do it, I just want to avoid a beating. Without blinking she takes the boot and drinks the beer. She tried so hard to act like it was nothing but she threw up in Howard Stark's lap not five minutes later.” Wanda’s face was scrunched up “Why are so many of your army stories so weird or gross.” Sam and Rhodey laughed. “Never underestimate the collective stupidity of a bunch of bored drunk soldiers.”
