Setting: Avengers Compound. The Avengers kids, including Charlotte, are hanging out unsupervised, getting a little too wild. Things escalate when Charlotte suggests a cussing battle, unaware that F.R.I.D.A.Y., the compound's AI, is keeping an eye on them.

Chapter 1: The Cussing Battle Begins

The Avengers kids, including Charlotte, Charlie, Arianna, and a few others, are gathered in the living room of the Avengers Compound. Charlotte stands up, arms crossed, grinning.

Charlotte: "Alright, who’s ready for a cussing battle? Let’s see who can come up with the best insults."

The other kids exchange hesitant looks but then start getting into it. One by one, they start hurling playful insults and cuss words at each other. The volume quickly escalates.

Arianna: “You think you can beat me? Ha! You’re softer than a marshmallow in the sun.”

Charlie: “Oh yeah? Well, you’re about as smart as a rock, and that’s being generous!”

Laughter fills the room as the kids get bolder with their insults, pushing the boundaries. Meanwhile, F.R.I.D.A.Y., the AI system monitoring the compound, detects the rising chaos and alerts the Avengers.

Chapter 2: F.R.I.D.A.Y. Intervenes

While the kids are too busy laughing and cussing, F.R.I.D.A.Y. speaks up, her voice booming through the speakers in the room.

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: "Attention, young Avengers. The adults have been notified of your inappropriate behavior."

The kids freeze for a moment, wide-eyed, then look at each other.

Arianna (giggling nervously): “Oh no, we’re in trouble.”

Charlie: "Wait, does that mean my dad knows?"

Charlotte (eyes widening): "Oh crap, Grandpa Tony's gonna kill me!"

Without thinking, Charlotte bolts for the door, trying to escape before the Avengers get back.

Arianna (laughing): “She’s running!”

Charlie (singing): “She’s a runner, she’s a track star! She be runnin' when she gets in trouble!”

The other kids join in, singing and laughing as Charlotte dashes through the compound, trying to evade getting caught.

Arianna (singing): “She can’t take the heat, so she runs far!”

Chapter 3: The Chase

Charlotte weaves through the compound hallways, her heart pounding as she tries to find a place to hide. The others are still singing behind her, amused by her desperate attempt to escape.

Charlie (shouting after her): “Run faster, Charlotte! F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s tracking you!”

F.R.I.D.A.Y. (calmly): “Miss Charlotte, I advise you to stop running. The Avengers will be arriving shortly.”

Charlotte ignores the AI and ducks into a nearby storage room, hoping she can hide until things blow over. She hears footsteps approaching and holds her breath.

Chapter 4: Caught by Grandpa Tony

Just as Charlotte thinks she’s in the clear, the door opens, and there stands Tony Stark, arms crossed, looking both amused and annoyed.

Tony (sighing): “You really thought you could outrun F.R.I.D.A.Y., kid?”

Charlotte sheepishly looks up at her grandpa, knowing there’s no way out.

Charlotte: "I wasn’t really running, Grandpa… just, you know, exercising?"

Tony (shaking his head): "Nice try. But I’ve got F.R.I.D.A.Y. logs saying otherwise."

Tony motions for her to come out of the storage room, and Charlotte, defeated, walks toward him.

Tony: "So, you think it’s a good idea to start a cussing battle in the Avengers Compound? Really? What were you thinking?"

Charlotte (mumbling): "I don’t know… it was just supposed to be fun."

Tony: "Fun? F.R.I.D.A.Y. tells me you were the one who started it. That means you’re the ringleader, and you know what happens to the ringleader, right?"

Charlotte frowns, already knowing what’s coming.

Charlotte: "I get spanked?"

Tony (nodding): "Exactly. And after that? Grounded. Now come on, let’s get this over with."

Chapter 5: Facing the Consequences

Tony takes Charlotte back to his office, where he delivers the promised spanking, firm but fair. Charlotte winces, trying her best not to cry, but it’s clear she feels both the physical and emotional sting. Afterward, Tony sits her down to talk.

Tony: "Listen, kiddo. You’re smart and strong, but you need to think before you act. You can’t go around doing whatever you want, especially here. You’ve got responsibilities."

Charlotte (sniffling): "I’m sorry, Grandpa. I didn’t mean to make things worse."

Tony: "I know you didn’t. But you’ve gotta learn to control that impulsiveness. You’ve got powers—real powers—and with that comes responsibility. Now, you’re grounded for the week. No TV, no games, no fun."

Charlotte nods, wiping away her tears, knowing she brought this on herself.

Tony (softening slightly): "You’re a good kid, Charlotte. But next time? Don’t make me chase you down with F.R.I.D.A.Y., alright?"

Charlotte manages a small smile.

Charlotte: "Okay, Grandpa. I won’t."

Chapter 6: The Aftermath

After her punishment, Charlotte returns to the other Avengers kids, who have already been lectured by their respective parents. They give her sympathetic looks as she reenters the room, still feeling the sting of both the spanking and the grounding.

Arianna: “So… did you get caught?”

Charlotte (nodding): “Yeah… and I’m grounded for a week.”

Charlie (grinning): “Worth it?”

Charlotte shakes her head, but a small smile tugs at her lips.

Charlotte: “Not even close.”

The kids exchange glances, realizing they’ve all learned a valuable lesson today. Even though they had fun for a moment, it wasn’t worth the consequences. They settle down, knowing that for the next week, it’s going to be a lot quieter around the Avengers Compound.
