Chapter 3
Steve walked into the living area. "Why did I see Tony running through the halls yelling at Clint?" He looked around the room. "And why are there magnets everywhere?"
Bucky sighed. "It's a long story."
"Clint was throwing magnets at Bucky's arm and Tony's arc reactor because they stick." Natasha said, snatching a handful of magnets from one of the lamps. Magnets were stuck to anything that was even slightly magnetic.
Pepper looked around at the mess. "Good luck finding all of the magnets. Now, I have to go find Tony. He promised to go to lunch with me today, and I can't have Clint ruining my lunch."
"Good luck, Pepper." Natasha called to her, as Pepper headed down the way Tony had ran.
Natasha pulled out her phone. "I'll text Peter to see if he knows where Clint is. He needs to help clean this mess up."
A moment later, she got a reply from Peter. 'He's hiding under my bed. What did he do to make Tony so angry?'
Natasha grinned. "He's under Peter's bed. I'll go through the vents to make sure he doesn't escape that way, Bucky and Steve, you go through the door."
Natasha texted Peter back. 'don't let him escape.' She pulled up a map of the tower, complete with the vents, and headed off.
Bucky and Steve walked over to Peter's room, and knocked on the door. Peter opened up for them, just as Natasha stuck her head out of the vent on the other side of the room.
Clint, realizing he was cornered, rolled out from under the bed, and raised his hands up in surrender. "What kind of cruel and unusual punishment do you want to inflict upon me? I hope it's not saying sorry to Tony. He'll murder me."
Natasha dropped from the vent, landing easily on her feet. "You get to clean up all the magnets. I think that's punishment enough. And don't be surprised if Tony bans magnets from the tower except for if they're for Peter."
"He's the one that came up with the idea!" Clint retorted.
"You were the one that decided to create a war out of it and turn the living area into a massive mess." Steve replied.
"Darn it." Clint got up, and followed Natasha, Steve, and Bucky back to the living area.
Clint spent the next couple of hours avoiding Tony and picking up the last of the magnets. Once he was done, he was forced to turn over all the magnets to Natasha, who approved his work. Clint returned to hiding in the vents, and Tony made it official that Clint was not allowed to have magnets. No matter what. Bucky, on the other hand, rather liked the magnets, and stuck them to his arm whenever he felt like it.
Peter did get the answers to his questions: Yes, magnets do stick to Tony's arc reactor. And you can put as many magnets on Bucky's arm as will fit. Just as long as they aren't bright pink. He doesn't like the bright pink ones.
