Marvel Imagines

Tag | Tony

"Kids, get up!" I yelled as I walked into the living room. I surveyed the group of adults around me- somehow, all of us Avengers were in one place, and they were all looking at a screen (except for Clint, who was trying to explain to Thor what football was about). They all turned to look at me when I walked in, power-stancing in the doorway.

"We're playing tag." I declared, and Clint's eye took on a dangerous glint.

"What is tag?" Thor asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "There are many of your human traditions that I do not understand." I laughed, waving my hand.

"Don't worry, Thor, it's a game easily leaned by watching." I cracked my knuckles, advancing slowly into the room. "Observe:" I darted over to Clint and tapped his shoulder, and as he tried to tag me back, his arm missed me by a hair as I leapt back over the couch. "Now, Clint's 'it'."

He reached over and tagged Peter, who tagged Natasha. I watched my chaos unfold as Natasha tagged Steve and Steve tagged Bucky. Bucky tagged Thor, and he seems to get it also, so he reached over and smacked his hand over Tony's chest.

"You, Tony," He declared gleefully, "Are 'it'." Tony stood up in a flash, and everybody bolted out of the room. Peter literally climbed up the walls and swung out of the room, and I used my obscene strength to push my way out before Tony could get to me.

Even amidst all the chaos of everyone laughing and telling and having fun and not looking at screens, I could sense that Stark would come after me. And that he did, strapping on his jet boosters to catch up to me faster.

"That's cheating!" I yelled as I ran around a corner and into a narrow hallway. He flew after me, literally, leaving a spiral trial of smoke behind him.

"Use your resources!" He called back, and I could hear him laughing. I took a sharp detour down another hall in response, and I heard him go flying further down the hall and crash into something from momentum. Still running away, I giggled at his fading screams of bloody murder.

After a few minutes, I heard a high-pitched scream as Wanda got tagged, and I smiled victoriously. I'd hidden in Tony's lab, hoping he'd forgotten that I knew the PIN. That hope lasted for about three minutes more before Tony burst in, boosters on full power.

"(Y/N), I know you're in here!" He said. His voice sounded metallic, and I knew he had the whole suit on. This was war. "Jarvis told me so." I knew hiding behind this chair wasn't going to last very long, so I jumped onto the nearest desk and poised myself to bolt. Tony whipped around from where he was across the room.

"Jarvis, don't rat me out next time." I called out, knowing he'd hear me. Before I could even jump, Tony had planted the metal arm of the suit on my chest and propelled me through the nearest wall.

"You're it!" He cried happily. The pleasant sound of plaster snapping ended abruptly as I dug my heels into the ground, praying as I used my strength to push off the floor. I left two divots in the floor from the energy output, and I flew back out the hole.

"You're it!" I cried, mimicking his earlier taunt. Not expecting me to return to fast, Tony turned in time for me to grab his shoulders and throw him through the nearest wall that didn't have a hole put through it. It just so happened to be glass. He shrieked, though the suit was taking in all the damage, as he shattered the glass wall and continued to tumble through the next room.

"I will- Ah!" He cut off his threats as he hit a wall hard, stopping immediately. As soon as Jarvis told me that he wasn't hurt, I bolted out of the lab, running past Natasha, who was running towards the direction I was coming from.

"(Y/N), what happened?" She asked, concerned. "We heard a lot of crashes and realized both of you had gone missing." I didn't stop to talk, but I pointed as Tony came running out of the lab, shattered glass flaking off of his suit.

"I'm on a mission to kill a woman!" He yelled, playfully enraged. I smiled to Natasha, saluting her as I kept running down the hall.

"I'll let that woman be you, Nat." I said, running down the hall and leaving her to get tagged.

"Noooo!" I heard her fading cry, laughing as I rounded the hall and flew past Peter, who was crouched on the ceiling, Bucky, who was using his metal arm to stay mounted on a wall, and Thor, who still looked mildly confused.
