The Fun
The Avengers came back from their mission tired but otherwise uninjured.
They retired to the usual living room with no suspicions.
Wade head over to the pranked living room.
He began humming the mission impossible song under his breath.
“Bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum-”
“BA BA BAAAAAA BA BA BAAAAAAAA BA BUM!”
Wade was tackled to the ground.
“Peetteeeeerrrr,” Wade groaned from the floor. “geroff.”
“No,” Peter said from where he was sitting on Wade. “Someone’s going to get hurt.”
“Yeah. ME.” Wade shoved Peter off and grabbed his hand. “Come on, let’s do this.”
Peter sighed, but gave in.
They strolled merrily towards the set-up room. Until Peter said they should continue via the vents, in which case they squatted merrily towards the room. At least, Wade was merry. Peter was grumbling.
“Dad’s gonna catch you,” Peter said.
Wade shrugged. “So? I get banned about once a day, nothing worse can happen.”
Peter snorted. “I’m pretty sure he bought a new Taser.”
Wade giggled. “What, did the other one get tasered out?”
“Yes actually.”
Wade fell victim to peels of laughter. “You’re… you’re saying… that Iron-Dude Tasered me so much it broke?” Wade continued to laugh in the vents.
“Shhh!” Peter hissed. “Someone’ll hear you! And it’s not that funny, it was going to happen at some point.”
“Sure, Baby-Boy,” Wade said, composing himself somewhat.
Wade and Peter dropped down from the vents and into the meeting room, Wade slipping over on the oiled surface, and Peter only remaining upright because of his powers. The wind blew through the window with the slide, but Loki had placed an enchantment so that it would appear as an ordinary wall, minus all the wind- but Peter doubted that that would be their main concern. Wade stood and grinned maliciously. He nodded at Peter.
Peter pressed his fingers to the comm.
“Hey, Bucky. Are the fam together?” Peter said, waiting for a reply.
“Yes, they’re in the common room. I’ll give Loki the signal,” Bucky said.
Loki spoke into the comm, obviously having received Bucky’s signal. “Three… Two… One-”
Alarms blared throughout the tower, their lights coating the corridors and rooms in red, and elongating the shadows. It made it conveniently hard to see. This particular alarm was dubbed by Tony ‘Code Run-Away’, and was essentially an evacuation sequence. Peter had hacked into Jarvis (he was really sorry about that), such that the alarm only sounded in the top floors, where the Avengers’ living quarters were. And the Avengers themselves.
Peter and Wade stood in the centre of the room, pretending to look out of breath, as though they had run to the room. Honestly, in Peter’s opinion, they were A+ actors.
Bucky came into view, running in order to arrive in the meeting room before the others. He paused at the entrance of the room, and very, very slowly, with the assistance of the wall, entered the room. Bucky almost slipped over, but Wade caught him before it was too late. Peter snorted. God, they were so dramatic.
Clint, Cap, Sam and Tony were the first to arrive at the end of the corridor. They sprinted towards the meeting room, and Tony could be heard shouting orders.
“Sam, when you get there scan lower levels for oncoming threats.
The prank almost worked as planned.
It would have, if Capsicle hadn’t held out an arm, stopping Tony, Clint and Sam from entering the room.
“Get your arm away,” Sam said, pushing at Steve’s arm, but it wouldn’t budge. The alarms were still blaring, and Peter found they were getting a bit uncomfortable with his enhanced hearing, but they made the floor difficult to see.
“Somethings not right,” Cap said as he scanned Peter, Wade and Bucky.
Tony sighed dramatically. “Well, whoopdie-doo, hun, you’re Captain-Sense is going off, but the alarm’s gone off and we might soon be attacked by-”
“Us!” came two voices from behind the four males.
Steve, Tony Clint and Sam were pushed into the room, and they slid along the floor quickly.
Behind them stood Natasha and Loki, both grinning evilly. Peter wasn’t sure which smile unnerved him more.
Loki removed the enchantment from the window, to reveal the gaping, shattered hole in the middle of it, and, you know, the giant yellow slide.
“SoN oF a BiTcH!” Clint screamed as he crashed down the slide ungracefully (honestly, Peter was unsure Clint could do anything gracefully. His Uncle seemed to have two left feet).
“Language!” Cap called as he too was pulled down by the slide, after trying to claw at the slippery floor to no avail.
“Now is hardly the time!” Same yelled as he spun around on the floor in circles on his way to the slide, having been at the end of the group and having the least momentum.
Apart from Tony, who was on the other end.
The last to disappear down the slide was Tony, for better or for worse- most likely for worse, judging from the amount of profanity that he was spouting out of his mouth.
Wade cut Tony off. “Now, Ant! What, you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
“My mother’s dead, Asshole!” Tony replied, trying and failing to stand up.
Wade mock gasped. “No way. So’s mine! They’re probably friends in the after-life. I’ll have to ask Death the next time I see her!”
“Which will be soon, I can guarantee you that!” Tony said as he continued to slide slowly. Nat sighed and gave him another push. Tony fell out of the window and down the slide, though not before grabbing one of Wade’s ankles.
Wade yelped.
“Save me, Baby-Boy!” Wade said, grabbing Peter and hugging him to his chest.
“No, Wade, this wasn’t part of the pla- AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!” Peter screamed as the three of them fell down the slide.
Was it fun?
No.
No, it wasn’t.
Did it hurt?
Hell yes.
And that was with Wade hugging him in a protective ball.
Peter and Wade exited the slide to see Cap rocking two and fro on the grass, hugging his knees, murmuring, “It wasn’t that bad… It wasn’t too high… It didn’t look like you were going to plummet to your death.”
Sam lay spread-eagled on the grass cussing under his breath.
Tony stood at the base of the slide, death glaring Peter and Wade.
Clint seemed to have been the only one who had enjoyed it.
“Hell, yeah!” he said, pumping his fist in the air. “Let’s do that again!”
“No more…” Cap mumbled. “Too high…”
Who knew Cap was afraid of heights?
Loki, Bucky and Nat materialised on the grass.
They immediately broke into laughter.
“HA HA!” Nat cried. “THE LOOKS ON YOUR FACES!”
Bucky wiped a tear from his eye. “Priceless!”
“Oh, that was so good,” Loki said.
“You had no right to do that!” Tony said, glaring at the five prankers.
“You burned my biscuits!” Bucky said.
“Oh, fuck your biscuits!”
Peter and Wade snorted.
Clint nodded at them, gesturing his arms at Tony and Clint. “See? It sounds really wrong!”
Bucky folded his arms, trying to keep a straight face. He couldn’t. “It was so worth is though!”
Sam stood and turned to Nat.
“Nat, how could you? I feel so betrayed. I thought we were going to stay neutral! We had an agreement!”
Natasha shrugged. “It seemed like fun.”
Sam, Steve and Tony all glared at her.
“Not. Fun,” they said in unison.
“Eh,” Clint said. “It was kinda-”
“NOT FUN!”
