"Umm Mr.Hawkeye? What are we doing?" I ask as Hawkeye opens a vent that looks big enough for a human to go through.
"It's a secret passage!" Hawkeye yells out, grinning.
???? what the heck
"Are you sure about that?" MJ asks raising an eyebrow.
"Oh god it's a mini Nat," Hawkeye mutters, horrified.
I snicker and Hawkeye looks at me for a second before turning back around.
"You children have no idea what wonders there are in the vents!" Hawkeye says excitedly.
"COME ON GUYS! I'M ACTUALLY REALLY CURIOUS WHY CLINT STAYS IN THE VENTS ALL THE TIME!" Shuri yells out before getting into the vent
"I'm kinda scared," Ned says quietly but gets into the vents anyway.
MJ just stares unimpressed before she moves towards me.
"Wha-" I start as MJ pushes me and Hawkeye into the vents
"MJ WHY!?" I scream in betrayal as MJ closes the vents and turns around.
"MJ NOOOOO DON'T BETRAY US LIKE THIS!" I plead but she's already gone.
Welp.
That happened.
I continue lying down on the floor, face down, of the vents dramatically.
"Peter get uuuuuppp," Ned whines
"No," I say defiantly
"Peeeeteeeeerrrrrrrr," Ned and Shuri both start whining
"I'm going to die. Facedown in these vents. It's my DESTINY," I say not getting up from the floor
"PEEEEEETERRRRRRRRR," Ned, Shuri and Hawkeye say whining.
I grumble and Hawkeye just decides 'fuck it' and lifts me up like a baby.
If I wasn't hiding my powers I would stick to the floor but alas my dramatic self will have to s u f f e r.
I am NOT a baby
Yes you are
No, I'm not
Yes, you ar-
WAIT FUCK THE FOURTH WALL
Lmao it dead
Beter you are not helping
Is that the end of the fourth wall break for this chapter?
No
Shut your fuck and let me think
But-
Story
...FiNe
"SO NOW!!!!!!! THE TOUR OF THE VENTS!!!!" Hawkeye yells standing up, with me still in his arm
"Why,,, is there standing room??? In the vents?????" Ned asks confused
"SO I CAN STAND IN IT!!!! Duh!" Hawkeye says matter-a-factly
"He got Tony to make the vents big," Shuri says in a monotone voice
"sTOP EXPOSING ME," Hawkeye pleads, but it reaches deaf (haha) ears
"Nah," Shuri says cooly
"What's so cool about the vents?" Ned asks Mr.Hawkeye looking around
"Oh I'll show you," he winks then starts running in the vents soundlessly
Shuri and Ned run after him much less soundlessly
Mr.Hawkeye and I end up in a weird big room in the vents.
The room is over twice the size of my bedroom, and instead of looking like a vent it looks like a true man cave (idk what those are pls dont fight me if i used that wrong)
The walls are covered in wallpaper and it was brightly lit, bright enough to see but dark enough that it doesn't hurt my sensitive eyes.
There is a couple of bean bags laying down on the floor, there are half-open books (their kinda low-level tho) near them as if they were in the middle of being read before someone got up.
There was a tv and a WiiU with the game MarioKart paused, with a couch parallel from it.
There are darts board on the wall, all the darts (and arrows) landing on the middle circle, almost as if someone was good at aiming -insert thinking emoji- (jesus Beter is a sassy Starky I-i mean Parky)
There were different versions of bows and Arrows beside a target, the arrows are multicoloured, OMG THERES A GAY ONE. The arrows were very multicoloured.
There were also a lot of water balloons, glitter bombs and other prank materials on a table.
It's beautiful.
"What... is... this?" I ask with stars in my eyes
"It's my vent room!!!!!" Mr.Hawkeye says excitedly, putting me down in a beanbag before jumping up and down
"H-how?" I ask not being able to compute.
"There was a small itty bitty design flaw made while building the vents!!! There's a bit where the vents cross each other creating small rooms like this!!! But this one is my favourite!" Mr.Hawkie says even more excited.
Shuri and Ned who finally caught up with us and immediately started squealing and started playing.
"CAN WE PLAY!!!!!!" Ned asks jumping excitedly
"YEAH!!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO PLAY!?!" Mr.Hawkie said with as much excitement as Ned, a feat I thought was impossible
"NED!!!! JOIN ME FOR A QUICK GAME OF MARIO KART!!!!" Shuri yells while throwing a remote at Ned.
Ned catches it and jumps onto the couch to play.
Shuri whos already setting up MarioKart gets Ned to join her and they abandon me for MarioKart.
Wow everyone is abandoning me today, first MJ then Shuri now Ned.
God has abandoned this timeline.
No, I haven't
Shut.
"Mr.Hawkie-" I start but cut off by Mr.Hawkie cooing at the nickname
"Mr.Hawkie can you teach me how to use the bow and arrows?" I asked putting on my best puppy eyes
Mr.Hawkie just hugs me and calls me adorable
"But Mr.Hawkie!!!!" I try while being suffocated with hugs
"No, no I said yes I just can't you're too adorable," Mr.Hawkie says crying
"So I can learn!?!" I ask excitedly
"YES!!!! LET'S GO!" He says dragging me the two steps to the target board and grabs the most aerodynamic looking arrows and a blue bow.
"Do you like learning?" He asks me as he puts the quiver properly on my shoulder and handing me the bow
"I love learning!" I cheer as I am adjusting the straps of the quiver.
"That's a good trait to have," Mr.Hawkie nods
(Disclaimer: I don't know how to use a bow)
"Now I need you to pick up the bow, keep it straight in front of you, like this," Mr.Hawkie instructs, showing me how to do it
I bring up the bow trying to do it as he shows me.
"No, no keep it straight up," He says and helps me get into proper position
"Like this?" I ask with the tilt of my head
"That's good! Yes, yes just like that now put your feet more apart- no that's too much, yeah that's better," he tells me
"I want you to take out an arrow exactly as I do it, alright? You could hurt yourself if you're not careful," he says carefully taking out an arrow keeping his hand away from the tip
"Like this-" I start going to grab an arrow
"WAIT!" he shrieks grabbing my arm before I can grab one
"Not... not like that," he breathes
"Okay then like what?" I ask
He helps me grab the arrow from the quiver without hurting my hands.
If I taught myself how to use a bow and arrow I'd probably hurt myself millions of times before I finally learned- like everything else I've learned- it's weird having someone actually teaching me stuff, and like trying to make sure I don't get hurt. I missed that.
I find a sweet smile making its way onto my face.
"The next part requires some strength, you think you can do that?" Mr.Hawkie challenges, with an eyebrow raised
"I think I can Mr.Hawkie," I puff with a smirk
Mr. Hawkie smirks back and starts demonstrating the next part.
"Well next you place the arrow in and stretch the bowstring all the way and- swoosh -let go," he says while maintaining direct eye contact with me, and the arrow landed directly in the middle
"My turn!" I say and place my arrow in place.
I close my eyes and slowly breath in stretching the bowstring till the bowstring starts to tug. I quickly open my eyes and aim, the same way I would aim for my webs, and let go.
The arrow goes flying and lands 5 millimetres from where I was aiming.
"Aw man," I sigh in disappointment
Mr.Hawkie turns around to me in shock
"How did you do that?" He asks me
"What? Miss?" I ask dejectedly
"No! I mean how you came so close!!!" Mr.Hawkie squawks
"What do you mean? I missed it!" I say with a state of indignation
"By only 5 millimetres!!!! ON YOU'RE FIRST to TRY!!!!!" Mr.Hawkie continues gawking
"5 millimetres is a lot it can mean the difference between life and-" I start before remembering I'm not by myself and my sudden hero rants could mean a bunch of things to an AVENGER! Jeez what's wrong with me
Mr.Hawkie seems to realize what I was about to say and just pulls me into a hug and ruffles my hair.
This apparently becomes a lot because I start crying.
"Hey, hey it's okay, it's okay. No one will get hurt if you can't get something right on the first try, no one's hurt. It's okay, it's okay I'm here," he whispers reassurances into my ear as I cry
After a couple of minutes of me sniffling and Mr.Hawkie comforting me I finally calm down.
"I'm sorry I have no idea where that came from-" I start but get cut off
"You have nothing to say sorry for," he says with the Dad instinct™, if I didn't know better I would think he was a Dad.
"So how are you so good at using a bow and arrow? Have you done it before?" he redirects the conversation into a joking tone
"No! This was my first time!" I say giggling
"Wow, you're so good! Teach me your way!" Mr.Hawkie teases
"I mean aiming it isn't too different from my-" I start before realizing the I got caught in the Dad Tone™
How the heck am I supposed to explain it this time???
Why am I so bad at secrets????
It's not like MJ can save me this time-
Just then there's an explosion and Mr.Hawkie is covered in glitter.
I look in the direction of where the glitter bomb came from and it's the Winter Soldier.
"I want to see the kiddies," he says
"BUCKY!!!!!" Shuri screams in delight
"Yes and we're gonna make cookies," he says and Shuri immediately runs to him
"Fuck- it's the cookies. Can't compete with that, why don't you go kiddo?" Mr.Hawkie asks, but his kind expression is kinda undone by him pouting about not being able to play anymore.
Saved by the bell- or in this case the soldier. Winter Soldier.
