"Okay, look," Nat said tiredly. "I'm sick of this."

"Aren't we all?" Scott said.

They were all sitting around the table, except some of them, because there were too many people. The kids were sitting on the couch in the living room. (the kids were Shuri, Peter, Percy, Groot, Sam, Bucky and Rocket.) They were talking about something and laughing, like they weren't in the middle of a war. Rocket kept flashing looks full of hatred at the dining table people. They all ignored him.

Steve laughed. "Scott's got a point, Nat. But we have to do it even if we're sick of it."

Nat rolled her eyes. "well yeah, but after the last battle I didn't really think I'll have to fight more."

"Neither did I, Nat," Tony said. "But here we are."

Bruce shifted. His arm was still in a sling. "Can we... You know..."

"Yes please." T'challa requested. "I have no wish to talk about death while eating."

Okay," Tony said, then he yelled at the 'kids', "guys do you want more noodles?"

"Yes!" Shuri's voice said in excitement. Tony walked up to the couch. They were all crying. From laughter. Even Groot was rolling around rapidly saying "I am grooooooot!!" And Rocket looked amused too.

"And then," Sam said, wiping his tears, "I land in front of him, and..." He couldn't finish the sentence because he burst out laughing again.

Peter snorted. "You said you met Medusa, right? What did you do?" He asked Percy.

"Killed her, duh," Percy replied with a hiccup.

"We usually have conversations before killing people," Rocket said. "to make them feel loved."

"Oh we had a conversation, alright," Percy said. "Eat my pants."

Bucky started laughing. "I remember when you told me that."

Then he started talking about something under his breath, and after he finished, there was a moment of static. Then they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Tony just awkwardly stood there.

"You wanted noodles?" He asked.

"Oh yes," Shuri said. "Please, can you pass it on."

Tony handed her the box. She ate it in 20 seconds.

"So uh what's so funny," Tony asked.

"You won't get it," Rocket said. "you're old."

"I'm old?" Tony asked, "this man," he waved his hand at Bucky, "is over a 100 years old. You think I'm old?"

Rocket looked at Bucky in amazement, "you're a 100 years old?"

Bucky shrugged.

"That's cool, man," Rocket said.

"Wait, so I'm old, and it's not cool. He's a century old, and it's cool?" Tony asked.

Everyone gave him a strange look. "yeah," everyone said in a matter-of-factly voice.

"I don't understand," Tony said, "why?"

"Umm Mr. Stark?" Peter said, "it's kind of obvious. You should understand simple things."

Tony looked to and fro between them. "you guys are impossible." Then he turned and walked away.
