Off With Their Heads

Chapter 12

Tony, Steve, Clint, and Natasha were sneaking back into the tower, trying not to wake everyone else up since it was about five in the morning. Clint and Tony had somehow convinced Steve to go out to the bar with them and Natasha had tagged along claiming that she wanted to see how this turned out.

They decided to all go to the kitchen since they were all hungry and still not tired, although Tony had a major headache. As they entered the room, however, they noticed immediately that something was wrong. The doorway was not opened but instead a double door with the top part wide open. Steve reached in and unlatched the door pushing it open quietly, all of them wincing at the squeaking noise it emitted.

With Steve and Tony in the front followed by Clint and Natasha, they stepped in taking in the changes. A clock with hands that held their faces stood in the corner, immediately changed stating that they were home. A sweater was in the corner knitting itself, playing cards shuffled themselves on the table and the pans in the sink were floating while a brush washed them by themselves.

Natasha, who knew what was going on, as she had guessed it, grabbed a muffin that sat in the middle of the table and took a huge bite out of it. She glanced at the boys who were looking around the room in wonder. Suddenly, they all heard it.

"WHERE... HAVE... YOU... BEEN?!?!" A voice yelled behind them. They all whipped their heads around to see Evangeline standing there with hands on her hips wearing a dress with an apron on the front and her red haired pulled back with wisps sticking out like crazy.

She looked to Natasha, who smirked behind the mouthful of muffin, and said, "Natasha! How wonderful to see you!"

Evangeline then looked back at the boys who were staring at her with mouths wide open and their eyes basically in the same position. "Beds empty! No note! Car gone! You could've died! You could've been seen!" Again she turned to Natasha, "I don't blame you, of course, dear."

Then she whipped around and stormed out, taking the illusion with her. Everything faded back to normal as the boys just stood there, still in shock.

Natasha smirked and grabbed another muffin which wasn't part of the illusion and walked out but not before saying to the boys, "I told you that you shouldn't have shown her the Harry Potter series."
