American Girl: An Avengers FanFiction

Chapter 20

I get dressed in a pair of jean-shorts and an old t-shirt, throw on my boots, grab my weapons and head downstairs for breakfast. Natasha and Dr. Banner are bickering over what ever it is they are trying to cook. Really not sure what it is, it smells burnt though. While Nat and Banner are distracted I grab my toaster, a couple slices of bread, a jar of blackberry jam. When I turn to leave the kitchen Nat and Banner are making lovey eyes at each other, totally ignoring whatever it is they are cooking which is definitely burning now. I exit quickly before things get more... awkward.

I plug my toaster into the wall in the living room and put in the bread. Then I take cover behind the couch and put my safety goggles on, yeah, I carry around a pair of safety goggles. I wear glasses and the regular safety glasses don't fit so I make sure I have eye protection. The toaster seems to be working fine until it starts its final countdown. Just then Steve and Bucky walk in.

'Your toast will be done in ten...nine...' It chimes.

I drag them down behind the couch, Steve tries to stand up. I yank on his arm, "Stay down. The toaster might explode. The first prototype did." Steve and Bucky looked panicked.

'Seven...six...five...four...three...three..thr-'

Boom. The toaster goes up in flames for a moment with various pieces shooting everywhere. The flames die out almost as quickly as they started.

"Everyone alright?" I ask as I stand up, Steve and Bucky are up now too brushing ash off their clothing. Nat steps out of the kitchen holding her gun. "It's okay, just my toaster, nothing to worry about." I reassure her as I dig through the remains of the toaster. "Oh look the toast survived."

I pull out the perfectly golden bread, "The toaster needs some safety improvements, namely in the whole not self destructing category but it definitely makes good toast."

"O-kay." Nat rolls her eyes, just then Stark walks in.

"The toaster exploded didn't it?" He smirks, "Thought you fixed it Beth."

"I thought it would work, evidently I was wrong." I mutter as I spread jam on my toast.A knock sounds on the door, followed by a raised voice.

"WHO CHANGED THE CODE! You sorry son of a-"

"Fury."Nat grins and hits the button to open the door. An angry looking black guy strides in wearing an eye patch and a long black duster. So stereotypical spy outfit.

"Loki has been spotted again."

"Where?" Cap asks morphing into a serous leader again.

"Springfield, Massachusetts."

"Suit up."
