Avengers Wrong Number

6 - Birdbrain and Bill Parker

"This knob has to be at a seventeen degree angle. The rotation has to be a speed of two, but the release pressure has to be three." Ashlyn said as she screwed in a screw.

"How the hell do you know all of this? Aren't you like fifteen?" Clint asked her as he did the seventeen degree angle.

"I am fifteen." Ashlyn stated as she looked up.

"Well, you're definitely smarter than a normal fifteen-year-old." Pietro stated as he worked on the rotation speed.

"Awe, thanks Pietro." Ashlyn said as she finished the screw and the release pressure.

"So how is this going to work?" Clint asked as he finished making the degree.

"Well, you wanted it to release water balloons from the sky. One filled with water and feathers, another filled with water and glitter, and the last just fill with water. Right?" Ashlyn asked. Clint and Pietro both looked at each other and nodded.

"Well, this can hold up to a hundred pounds while still hanging from the suction cups connected to the ceiling. You attach a string to the release trigger, hide a little away, pierce the string, and the rest will happen on its own." Ashlyn stated happily.

Clint and Pietro both looked at her amazed. They had to make sure that Tony didn't have any meetings. He didn't, so that was good.

They secretly got out of the secret room and set up the machine they made. Mostly Ashlyn made. They put it right above the hall entrance. They all hid behind a sofa. Clint was going to shoot an arrow when the time came.

"Do you just want me to text Tony?" Ashlyn asked Clint and Pietro. They both nodded yes, so Ashlyn took out the spare phone.

Ashlyn
Uncle
Uncle Tony

Tony
Yeah Kiddo?

Ashlyn
U busy?

Tony
Nope
I've been bored all day and I probably will be bored for the rest of the day

Ashlyn
Cool
Can you come to the lounge room then?
Don't bring your phone
I have an idea

Tony
Okay

Ashlyn put away her phone. She saw Tony coming. Thankfully Tony did not have his phone. That would've been bad.

Tony was almost there, but not quite. Five seconds before when Tony was still walking farther away, Ashlyn calculated his speed, guessed the speed of Clint's arrow, and she already knew the speed of the machine.

"Now Clint." Ashlyn said as she nudged Clint. Clint wanted to argue because the machine was still a few paces away from Tony, but he shot the arrow.

Tony walked right into the hall when the first ballon hit him. He was definitely not happy, but then the second hit him two milliseconds after, and that goes with the third and fourth.

Clint and Pietro ran out from their hiding spots and up to Tony. Ashlyn chuckled and just stood up.

"You've been pranked!" They both exclaimed at the same time. Tony just raised his eyebrow and looked up at the machine.

"How did you two make that? You're too dumb for that." Tony stated with a little chuckle. Pietro and Clint both put pouting faces on.

"Well... We didn't really make it. Ashlyn did." Clint explained. Tony nodded his head. That made much more sense to him.

"I still don't understand how your pranking machine did that..." Pietro said looking at Ashlyn.

"I can explain how the rest worked. If you want." Ashlyn stated. Pietro, Tony, and Clint both yelled out yes.
