Avengers One Shots & Preferences (COMPLETED FOR NOW)

Avengers Kiddies

"HOWARD I SWEAR TO ODIN!" Stark Jr ducked Valla's punch, running out of the door. "DAD, HOWARD TRIED TO TAKE MJOLNIR AGAIN!" Thor shook his head. "Honestly Valla..." Tony wandered in, Howard on his shoulders. You rolled your eyes, Carter sitting on your lap. She was only four, and was the most precious little girl. However, your rambunctious scamp, James, was planning something with Howard. Bruce was in his lab with toddler Hannah, trying to teach her how to create Nitrate. An arrow flew past you, and Nat dodged it, snapping at Clint. He was failing to teach his son Ben to be an archer. Behind Nat's legs was her girl Lacy. She was sweet but deadly. Now that the Avengers had a second generation, life was generally busy, and to put it nicely, HELL. You sighed in relief when Steve strolled in with Bucky. "Please, take Carter while I control James." Steve chuckled, taking his baby girl from you. Before you could attempt to wrangle James, Bucky held out his metal hand. "I got it." You watched in amazement as he distracted James, and the mischief dissipated. Valla stopped chasing Howard, and Ben halted in his attempts to aim for Lacy. You wanted to fall to the ground, and take a nap right there. "I can see you need to sleep, go ahead sweetheart." Steve whispered, Carter dropping off on his hip. You went on tip toes to kiss his cheek in gratitude, sneaking off to your shared room, jumping under the covers. You were still in your pajamas, so it didn't matter when you fell asleep in them.

When you woke, it was whimpers. You sat up, Steve snoring away beside you. It was pitch black outside, rumbles of thunder and rain pelting the windows. James was at the end of the bed, flinching when ever thunder boomed. You patted the bed, and he clambered up, coming to cuddle up in between you and Steve. Right after he fell asleep, another wail. You carefully got up, making sure not to wake James or Steve. Heading to the next room over, Lacy and Carter were clinging to each other. "Hey baby..." You whispered, sitting on the bed. Carter climbed onto your lap, cuddling into your baggy pajamas. Lacy was hesitant. "I may not be Natasha, but you're still welcome." She joined Carter, and you got up, carrying the small girls back to your room. They cuddles up to James, and right as you were about to climb into bed with them, a crash came from down the hall. Sighing in frustration, you left your warm bed again. Upon entering the room, you found Howard and Ben staring at you with innocent eyes. Behind them was a broken pot. "Honestly..." You let it go, offering for them to join James. They nodded, wide grins on their faces. You rolled your eyes. "You'll be sleeping." They nodded in complete understanding, following you back to your room and joining the other kids. You paused, listening out for any other signs. When nothing came, you got back under the covers, thanking Tony for giving you large beds. Shushing Howard and patting Lacy for her to stop kicking Ben, the kids hushed, falling into a deep sleep. You began drifting off, when it happened. "Y/N..." Someone whispered your name. Getting up with a hiss of repressed anger, you got to your partly open door. Hannah was standing at the door, looking up at you with tear filled eyes. "Hey, I'm sorry Hans..." Behind her, was Valla. "I know it's stupid... But I'm scared of thunder." She muttered, looking at the floor. "You're always welcome no matter what Valla." You picked up Hannah, carrying her to the bed with Valla following. They snuggled up with you and Steve, and suddenly, it was quiet. You smiled, sighing in happiness as you fell asleep.
