"These pancakes are most delicious Beth." Thor booms, does he ever talk quietly? Wanda nods in agreement, Dr. Banner just eats. I'm really glad I made the entire box of pancake mix cause Dr. Banner and Thor just ate about a dozen each.

"Are those pancakes? Dude, no one ever actually cooks around here. Awesome, whoa, is that a smiley face." Sam exclaims sitting down and pulling a pancake off the platter. Every single one of the pancakes has a smiley face made of chocolate chips in it. Natasha and Clint pad into the kitchen/breakfast nook. Cap meanders in and smiles at the pancakes, "We should each take turns preparing meals, in pairs to make sure at least one person can cook competently. It will be good for the team. Who here can cook?"

Clint, Natasha, Sam, Wanda and I all raise our hands. This leaves Dr. Banner, Thor, Cap, and Stark who hasn't shown up yet, on the non-cooking side. Steve nods,"Okay so it will be Natasha and Dr. Banner; Sam and Thor; Wanda, Hawkeye, and Stark; and Beth and myself. Any problems?"

"No," everyone mutters.

"Excellent, we will rotate through for each meal. Yes, breakfast counts. Sam and Thor will be making lunch, Beth and I will cook dinner, Natasha and Banner will be after that, then Wanda, Hawkeye, and Stark. order will continue repeating after that. Make sure if you need specific ingredient that they go on the grocery list and that hey are labeled so no one eats them."

"Why does Stark get two cooks?" Dr. Banner asks.

"Because we have to eat what is served and we all know Stark." This earns nods and noises of agreement all around, "Anyone want to volunteer to take Stark some breakfast?"

They all pile more pancakes onto their plates, 'No, can't I'm eating.' is their excuse. I volunteer against my better judgement. I pile some pancakes on a paper plate and go in search of Tony Stark.

I find him in his lab on the top floor of the tower, asleep on the floor sprawled out with pieces of some machine scattered around him. I crouch down next to him. "Wake up. Wake up."

I waft the steaming pancakes under his nose, that gets him to wake up."I made you pancakes."

"They aren't poisoned or anything are they?"

"No, just chocolate chip smiley face pancakes."

"Well, in that case I suppose I will have some then."

"Oh by the way the Cap decide that we are helping to cook now. You are on duty with Clint and Wanda, it will rotate through all four teams, your team is making lunch tomorrow. Just so you know. I have to go now, Natasha and Clint are meeting me in the archery range in five minutes. Where is the archery range?"

"Two floors down, next to the gym, track, and wind tunnel."
