My air conditioning had gone out not too long ago but thankfully it was quickly repaired; not the best thing to happen in this type of weather. But on the other hand the baking heat prompted this one-shot out of me.

"Ugh I'm baking in here," Sam groans as the Avengers sprawl about in the lounge area of the Avengers compound. "We're all baking here, Wilson, quit complaining," Clint retorts, wiping sweat off his face. "Would you two quite your bellyaching I'm trying to focus on cooling off," you groan, facing the fan.

Something had gone wrong with the compound's air conditioning in the middle of the night, which is the worst thing to happen during a heat wave. Even with extra fans placed all over the facility, it still wasn't enough. To make matters worse there has also been troubles with the plumbing the last four days before, so no one had a chance to bathe yet.

You head for the kitchen to get some ice from the freezer. When you make it to the fridge, you see Tony was already rummaging through the freezer, grabbing ice trays. "What are doing Tony?" You frown.  "Trying to cool off," was Tony's reply like it's obvious, as he puts the ice tray down his pants. "You know we make and eat jello shots directly from those ice trays right?" You point out with a slight grimace. "I'll be sure to wash them once the plumbing is fixed," Tony replies, "Right now Fury just called everyone for the biweekly meeting in five minutes." You groan at the announcement, "I'll get the others."

---------Five minutes later---------
"We'll try and keep this meeting short since the stench in here is unbearable right now," Fury says fanning himself. "Seriously, did one of us actually die and not realize it?" Natasha asks sarcastically. "I don't think that's not something we should joke about on this team, Nat," you say, taking a swig of your bottled water.  "It's not so bad," Thor comments, "Especially if you have a beard like mine. Not being able to bathe has allowed me to find more bits of dinner in it. Make a whole meal last all day." that sentence alone was enough to make the whole team grimace. "You can make an interesting combinations this way," Thor continues, demonstrating, "For example, I'm tasting yesterday's apple pie and this morning's eggs and bacon."
"Sorry I'm late," Clint said groggily making his way to the his seat, "I made the mistake of using the bathroom which hasn't been flushed for nearly five days...I just regained consciousness."

"Okay let's get this over with," Fury flatly says, "I assume you all have your reports from last week's mission." Like students in a classroom, the team handed in their papers. "Everything appears to be in order," Fury says looking over the papers, "I'm missing one report though, where is Lang?"
"I think I heard Tic Tac say he and his daughter were going to the one place where this day was meant to be enjoyed," Sam replies. "You're gonna to be more specific, Wilson," Bucky snidely comments. "They went to the beach, dumbass," Sam retorts.

"Oh. Let's go to the beach," you suggest. "That's a good idea," Steve agrees, "all in favor of spending the day at the beach?" Everyone eagerly  raised there hands, causing you to grimace at the underarm stench,  "Ugh, people, seriously, put your arms down," you complain. "I'm with you on that," Wanda says holding her nose. "Motion carried," Fury says. "Please don't say motion, I might faint again," Clint quips, turning slightly green.

----------Time skip--------------
You and the team headed for Long Island beach. Everyone was in their swimsuits and ready to have a good time.

The moment you stepped into the sand, you dropped your stuff and immediately ran towards the water. "Hang on a minute there, (y/n)," Steve stops you, "aren't you forgetting something?" He holds out a bottle of sunblock. You sigh and reluctantly take the bottle, "yes mother," you say sarcastically. "It's cold and clammy," you flatly comment. "You want another sunburn on your face and back like last time?" Steve asks sternly, making you roll your eyes.
