summary - Forget the Marvel actors. The real heroes are the babysitters

----

Your cousin, Chris Evans, loved coordinating events for his Marvel cast members. And over the years, you had reaped the benefits in a very strange way.

Since as far back as the first Avengers film, you've been the designated Marvel babysitter. It started off as just Chris H and Mark's kids, but once Robert and Jeremy had a few of their own, your service was in high demand. And you loved it.

There were so many perks to the job.

You got to hang out with a bunch of amazing kids.

You got to meet a ton of Chris' celebrity friends.

And you made hella bank.

As a broke kid going through college, you couldn't deny that this was the best part.

Now, after all the Infinity War buzz, your crazy cousin wanted to throw a huge party with all the cast and crew members and their spouses. You knew Chris was a party animal, but this was a new level of crazy. You were only 21 and he wanted you to watch sixteen kids from ages 1 to 14? Outrageous. Would you do it? Without question.

The cast dropped their kids off one by one. Already by 6:00, you had your hands full with the 1-year-olds, Hal Cumberbatch and Zen Saldana, the 3-year-olds Avri Downey, Christopher Cumberbatch, and Bowie and Cy Saldana, the 4-year-olds Tristan and Sasha Hemsworth, the 5-year-olds Jack Pratt and Ava Renner, the 6-year-olds Exton Downey and India Hemsworth, the 7-year-old Agnes Bettany, and the older kids: Odette and Bella Ruffalo, 10 and 13 respectively, and 14-year-old Stellan Bettany.

Once you saw them all in one place, you really weren't sure you'd last the night. And it was going to be a long night.

Robert offered up his mansion for you to watch the kids considering you lived in a measly one-bedroom apartment. You were usually fine with offering up your place to watch a few of the kids for a day, but all sixteen? You couldn't even imagine.

You are glad the two Ruffalos and the eldest Bettany were more helps than hindrances. Stellan mostly kept to himself but was always quick to help break up a fight over a toy between any of the younger kids when you needed him to. Odette and Bella, however, loved helping in any capacity. Bella even offered to change diapers, which she was shockingly good at for a 13-year-old, and Odette was an expert at calming Hal whenever he cried, which you couldn't seem to do for the life of you. Zen calmed down the minute you picked him up, but Hal seemed to hate you. Rather than take it personally, you left him to Odette's care the minute he started to wail, which Odette seemed more than fine with.

All of the kids were quite well behaved and got along fine. It warmed your heart to see that some of Hollywood's biggest celebs were still completely capable of being good parents.

By 7:00, you were already exhausted. Hal fell asleep in his car seat quite easily, but Zen kept crying which you didn't understand because he had been fine all night. You parked the kids over the age of 5 in front of the TV and played The Emoji Movie in an attempt to occupy them for at least a little while whilst you tried to round the younger ones up into another room to get them to rest. Avri quickly retreated to her own bedroom and took Sasha (the pair having become fast friends as soon as the night started) and the pair fell asleep in bed together. You brought the others, not having rooms of their own or friends to cuddle with, into a living room with two large couches and had them all spread out with blankets and pillows. In the midst of trying to quiet them all down, you heard the doorbell ring.
