The video opens to the entire team, except for Thor and Vision, squished onto one couch. Natasha and Clint are sitting on the floor in front of it. Peter is in the middle.

"Hey guys!" Peter exclaims. "For my second video on this channel, I thought I'd get the rest of the team in on it! Everyone say hello to Steve, Bucky, Bruce, Rhodey, Wanda, Mr. Stark, Clint, Nat, Scott, and Sam. Plus my two friends, Ned and MJ. Everyone say hi!"

A loud chorus of 'hello' echoes throughout the room.

"Thor and Vision couldn't be here because Thor is fighting his evil sister in Asgard and Vision said it sounded stupid, so they're not here, but everyone else is," Peter explains. "Anyway, we decided that for our first team video, we'd play Sardines throughout Stark Tower! In case you don't know, how this works is one person hides while everyone else counts to 2 minutes, and then everyone else tries to find them. When you find the person and/or people that are hiding, you hide with them. Everyone got it?"

Everyone nods.

"Okay, so, since there's so many of us, we're only going to have twp people hide, because otherwise this video would be hours long," Peter says. "We've decided that I'm going to hide first, then Clint. Everyone ready?"

Nods again.

"Alright. You all stay here, I'm going to go hide. Start the timer... now!"

Peter grabs another camera and sprints out of frame, as Tony tells Friday to start a timer for 2 minutes.

"Okay, guys," Peter says, still running through the tower. "I'm heading down to level 12, because I'm going to hide in the vents and that's the floor that has easiest access to them. It's a little risky... Clint really likes to hide out in, and travel through, the vents, so there's a chance he'll find me super fast, but I don't think anyone else will... we already told Wanda she's not allowed to read anyone's minds to find out where they are, not that I think she would, but Nat... probably already knows where I'm going, she's just super smart like that, being a spy-assasin and all..."

"So, where do you all think he's going to hide?" Ned says, attempting to end the awkward silence.

"I know exactly where he's going," Nat says, cleaning under her nails as she talks. "And I'm not about to tell you people."

"Mr. Steve Rogers Captain America Sir?" Ned says timidly. "Do you have any ideas?"

"Just Steve, kid," Steve says kindly. "Um... not really, no. I think he'll have stayed on this floor, though."

"There's no way he stayed on this floor," MJ says confidently. "He'll have picked the most random floor that's also the most obvious, and he'll be in a spot that's also completely obvious but nobody except for Nat and Clint will find him for ages."

Everyone stares at her for a moment.

"I like her," Clint finally breaks the silence.

It's dark enough that a rough outline of Peter is barely visible.

"Sorry if you all can't see me," he whispers. "I'm in the vents now, which is perfect timing because the two minutes should be up right about now."

"That's time!" Tony shouts. "It's every person for themselves!"

The team scatters.

"Jesus, they're loud," Peter whispers, barely audible over the sounds of shouting and stomping coming from above. "It's probably just because I'm in the vents, it's pretty echoy in here."
