Before Things Went Bad: A Christmas Special

An Avenger's Special

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung-"

"Okay stiff, you can stop now." A velvety voice murmured as she snuck down the hallway. The woman walked with such grace that she almost seemed to fly. She oozed power and treaded the Earth proudly, her black thigh high heels click-clacked as she the main room.
Voices could be heard conversing from the room ahead causing a killer smile to stretch across her features. Adjusting the strap of the red bag on her back, Cheshire quickened her pace and entered the room.

As soon as she stepped foot into the area everyone froze. It wasn't just her grin that made them freeze in awe, it was the look in her eyes.
She met eyes with the tall blonde super-soldier for a brief second, before he had to look away. For with just one glance into her Arctic Blue eyes, fear shot through him like lightning, coiling around his entire figure like a boa constrictor squeezing the life from its prey.


"The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap."

"Ha! Hear that Capsicle? It's time for a long winter's nap." Cheshire joked, the large bag hitting the floor with a THUMP. Tony's erupted from behind the bar.

"No Chesh, remember? He already took his nap." The woman started to laugh with the Billionaire, walking over to the bar and fist bumping him before grabbing a bottle of wine and leaning against the bar to look at the rest of her teammates.

"Ho Ho to the ho." Cheshire sighs before whipping out one of her hidden blades and opening the bottle. "So, what are we doing this fine Christmas Eve?"

Tony only answered with a snort. Looking around the room, Cheshire scoffed and took a swig of wine. "This is unacceptable. We're doing something. Whether it be getting shitfaced," Steve visibly winced at her language. "or playing fucking UNO"

"When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash."

"J.A.R.V.I.S. seriously, what the hell is going on with you?" Tony asked. Cheshire shook her head and started to make a snarky comment before a thunderous BOOM erupted from the sky and lightning struck Stark's landing pad.

"What the shit?!" Cheshire exclaimed. The rest of the Avengers jumping up in defense.
"No need to fear, !" Cheshire shouts, dropping her knife and dashing towards the God. She onto his still steaming arms and practically purred into his ear. "Doth mother know I'll be removing your drapes?"

Thor's eyes went wide and he let out a breath of air as Cheshire began to up his neck and tighten her thighs around his waist, practically grinding on him.
In an attempt to remove the woman from his body, Thor gripped Cheshire's thighs and slowly began to pry them away from his body, pausing at the sound of her honeyed voice.

"If you wanted me to spread my legs further all you had to do was ask."
Giggling at the sight of the stunned God, Cheshire jumped down and casually walked back to the rest of the Avengers. Tony smirked at the blushing Thor before letting her wrap his around her shoulders and guiding him back inside.

"Those were good but how about you and me go test out my suits new penetration system?" With a seductive grin, Cheshire leans up and kisses his neck before smacking his ass. She winks at both of them before grabbing her wine bottle.

"Now, where were we?" She began, as she stalked up to her next victim, a nervous super soldier.

"You were trying to get into every guys pants." Natasha spit out with a glare.

"Awe...Tasha don't be that way." Cheshire purred, turning to face the redhead. "And I went through all the trouble of finding you a gift for the holidays." Surprise lit up the assassin's eyes, before curiosity took over.

"W-what?" Natasha stuttered. Cheshire was the last person she'd ever expect to get a gift from.

"Oh yeah. I got you something good. Here hot stuff, hold this." Cheshire handed the bottle of wine to Steve and skipped over to the red bag of goodies. By now six avengers were in the main room, making it easier to hand out each present. Natasha was handed a black box with a red ribbon tied into a neat bow.

"Go on open them." Cheshire urged her team. She watched the looks on their faces as their presents were revealed.

smirked at the pair of fuzzy handcuffs and silk blindfold. Picking up a small card inside he read the note silently, the lust in his eyes growing.

carefully opened the red, white, and blue package and stared at the sketchbooks and charcoal pencils with surprise. Looking up at Cheshire, he gave a sincere smile. She smiled softly at the blonde before looking away.

ripped open his package, his excitement too hard to hide. He practically drooled at the sight of the new arrows, each designed with intricate carvings and perfectly balanced.

stared at the huge bag of weed in his hand before turning to look at the yoga mat and dvd's, a look of annoyance on his face.

Thor grinned at the packages of PopTarts neatly packed into the box, his eyes sparkling with delight.

Natasha stared at the package in her lap hesitantly.
"Go on Tahsa, open it." Cheshire said, her eyes alight with excitement. With a sigh, Natasha slowly undid the ribbon and stared in surprise at the sight of the box of ammo.

"Open it now!" Cheshire practically shouted. "I put special stuff inside." With more vigor, Natasha started to open the box, pausing to look up at the scantily dressed woman.

"You know Cheshire, I didn't expect this from you, you-"

The men turned around when the assassin stopped speaking.

"What is it dollface?" Tony asked. Cheshire turned to face them with a smirk before taking off down the hallway cackling.

"That BITCH!" Natasha screamed as she took off after her. Steve looked inside the box and immediately turned red. Clint walked over and burst out laughing as Tony read the note out loud.
"I figured since you couldn't land a guy, I would get you your very own battery operated Brad Pitt." With a grin, Tony looked into the box and grinned. "God I love that woman."

Later that night...
After Cheshire dragged Tony to his room, presents in hand, the rest of the Avengers followed. All was silent except for the sound of Natasha stalking towards her room, red with fury. She slipped into her room and slammed the door behind her.

"That stupid inconsiderate-" She stopped. On the center of her bed lay a single black box with a familiar red ribbon tied into a bow. "if that bitch thinks I'm falling for this again I swear to God." Without a thought, the assassin tossed the box into the trashcan before walking into her bathroom and slamming the door behind her.

Steam escaped from the bathroom as Natasha opened the door. She had calmed down a lot during her shower and calmly dried her hair as she ambled around her room. Her eyes caught the sight of the red ribbon and she stopped.
For a long moment she stood there, staring at the gift before she began to walk towards it. With a sigh, Natasha slid off the ribbon and ripped off the wrapping paper only to see a white box hiding something inside. She gently took off the lid to the box and gasped.
An old wildflower sat at the base of the box. Its yellow petals had faded and weakened with time.

"Come on Ember! We're almost to the field!" A little girl with bright red hair sang as she ran ahead. The older girl laughed as she trailed behind her. The girl picked a large wildflower and held it up to the teenager, a look of pure adoration in her eyes. "Here, this is for you!"
The teenager smiled softly and raised a camera, capturing the moment forever.
Natalia blinked at the flash but grinned none the less. The girls spent the day in the flower fields laughing and making flower crowns. Everything was simple. Everything was happy. This was before training began.

Before things went bad.
