The Rules of Living with the Avengers

31. Don't tease Tony about fish.

I look up anxiously as Steve, Clint and Natasha enter the room. They've been at SHIELD headquarters all day, pretending to be brushing up on their fighting techniques whilst actually finding out things from agents. "Nothing," Clint shrugs. "No-one knows anything. Either they're really good at lying or-"

"They don't know anything," Natasha finishes for him. She takes a gulp of an energy drink. "I spent two hours training with Falcon and he doesn't know anything. I can tell when people are lying."

"Sam's clean then?" Steve asks.

"Yeah, he's clean." Natasha smiles. Steve looks relieved and Clint visibly relaxes. They're obviously friends with Falcon.

"Tony, you got anywhere?" Steve says as Tony wanders in, eyes tired but still tapping away at holograms that seem to follow him.

"No other files like this. Just them. I shut down all the power in the tower and then dismantled the cameras so they wouldn't see me doing it." Tony rubs his eyes. "Hopefully they'll just think one of my experiments cut the power."

"Hey! I was having a Supernatural series one marathon when the power turned off! Do you know how scared I was?" I glare at him.

"Wimp," he rolls his eyes with a smirk.

"Says the man who cries at Finding Nemo..."

"It was one time! And it's an emotional film!"

Natasha laughs. "You cry at Finding Nemo?"

"Where is Nemo?" Thor shouts as he comes running into the room. "You have been talking about finding him for a while now, my friends. So we shall find this Nemo and restore peace and that shall stop Brother Stark from crying!"

"It was one time!" Tony yells and I smile.

"Sure...I'm surprised you don't write fan-fiction about it."

"Enough with the fan-fiction and the fandoms and the shipping!" Tony groans. "Let's just have a civilised dinner now. And do not tell Loki about Finding Nemo. He's vicious when he has blackmail."

Short chapter then a big one tomorrow (hopefully) because I'm at my grandmas with the whole family for an Easter egg hunt and I'll be bored!!
