Truth or Dare

   The Avengers sit around the dining room table. A three-sixty camera sits in the middle, so we can see everyone. A bowl of names sits on the table. "Welcome back to another video!" Peter exclaims. "Today we're paying truth or dare- and the only things excused are work related things. Each person draws from a bowl of names and truth-or-dare's the person they choose. I'm going first." Peter draws a name. "Captain Rogers, truth or dare."

   "Steve if you chose dare I will kill you," Bucky threatened. To Peter he added, "He doesn't know when to quit and has no cares about his own safety."

   Looking Bucky directly in the eyes, he said, "Dare."

   "I dare you to stuff thirty marshmallows in your mouth." Peter said.

   Well, after nearly choking to death, Steve managed twenty eight marshmallows before Bucky had to restrain him from a death-by-marshmallow. Now Steve had to draw a name. "Thor, truth or dare?" He asked.

   "I'll tell the truth," Thor declared.

   "If you were stranded on a desert island, which three people would you take with you?"

   "Well, obviously Young Peter," Thor said. After a moment, he added, "And Loki."

   "And your third person?" Steve prompted. 

   "Jane Foster."

   "Who?" Peter asked.

   "His ex girlfriend." Natasha replied.

   Thor drew a name. "Banner, truth or dare?"

   "Truth," Bruce replied, a little nervous

   "What is the strangest thing you've ever eaten?"

   "Well, this one," He said, glaring at Tony, "convinced me to eat octopus. He forgot to tell me it was raw octopus.

   "It said very clearly on the package," Tony shrugged.

   "Who reads the package if someone offers you food?"

   "I do." Natasha said.

   "Anyway, I guess it's my turn to ask someone." He paused as he read the slip. "Wanda, truth or dare?" 

   "Dare," She replied. 

   "Make up a story about any random object in the room." Bruce suggested.

   Wanda surveyed the room. "That bowl," she said, pointing to the one with the paper slips, "was excavated from the ruins of Pompeii last night and shipped here to keep away from enemy spies, because embedded in the wood is the recipe for Greek Fire."

   "That was actually really good," Commented Peter.

   Wanda drew a slip from the Pompeii bowl. "Clint, truth or dare?"

   "Dare," Clint replied.

   "I dare you to juggle eggs." Wanda challenged.

   Clint stood up, took five eggs from the fridge, and juggled flawlessly.

   "What the heck?"

   "You guys know I grew up in the circus, right?" Clint put the eggs away and sat down. "Anyway, Natasha, truth or dare?" 

   "Dare." 

   "Put your hand in ice water until the video is over." Clint said.

   Natasha stood up, and made a bowl of ice water. She put her hand in and with her other hand read her slip. "Sam, truth or dare."

   "Truth."

   "Have you ever cheated at a game?" 

   "No."

   "Liar!" Steve shouted. "You know very well-"

   "I did not cheat! You didn't hear me say-"

   "Excuses, excuses."

   "IT WAS UNO!" Sam yelled.

   "YOU CHEATED!" Steve shouted back.

   "Bucky, truth or dare?"

   "Don't change the subject-"

   "Dare."

   "Wrap yourself in toilet paper." 

   Without saying anything, Bucky stood up and went to the bathroom. Five minutes later, he was wrapped head to toe in toilet paper. "Tony truth or dare?" He asked, muffled by the paper.

   "Truth."

   "What is the meanest prank you ever pulled on someone?" Bucky asked.

   "I don't know," Tony said.

   "You know very well, Tony." Clint countered.

   "That was an accident."

   "YOU ALMOST MURDERED ME!!!"

   "I SAID I WAS SORRY!" To the group, Tony said, "I did that water over the door prank."

   "But he tried it with cement." Clint added bitterly.

   "It was wet at the time..." Tony said.

   "Do you not know how cement works?" Clint said.

   "I know how cement works." Tony said. "I thought you'd get up earlier, sleepyhead."

   "Well, I didn't." Clint said.

   "Peter, truth or dare."

   "I'll take a dare, Mr. Stark." Peter replied.

   "I dare you to web your chair to another Avengers chair, and both stay there for an hour." Tony said.

   "Ok." Peter webbed his chair to Tony's.

   "Peter!"

   "It was your dare, Mr. Stark." Peter said innocently. Tony sighed and cancelled his meeting, because he was not about to opt out of his dare. Just before the camera flicks off Natasha, laughing, dumps her ice water all over Bucky.
