Day 3 - The Avengers stumble upon the Winchesters, who are about to enter a Hydra facilty.

Warnings - Fluff, Arguements, Thor and Sam have beautiful hair

‘So, let me get this straight. You two are brothers who hunt demons, run away from Angels and are trying to stop a terrible darkness from approaching and what? Taking over the world? That sounds out of your league, buddy.’ Clint knew he mostly deaf, hearing becoming worse by the month, but he couldn’t believe his ears. ‘You two need to be checked into a mental hospital or something.’

‘Been there, done that!’ Dean chirped. ‘Trust me, they didn’t believe our story either.’

‘We could always toss them into prison.’ Natasha suggested, placing a hand on her hip.

‘Done that too. Come on, you’ve got to believe us when we say that the demons we were hunting are in there!’ Sam gestured to the abandoned building behind them, a large Hydra symbol painted onto it.

Steve sighed. ‘Yeah, well, tough luck kid. That’s Avengers property.’

‘For people trying to protect the world, shouldn’t you be helping us out – not trying to toss us in jail?’ The older Winchester remarked, rolling his eyes. ‘Why don’t we make a deal? You let us deal with our demons, you can deal with your goons, and we can both go our separate ways!’

‘Likely chance. J.E.S.S.I.C.A. what do we have on these two?’ Tony asked, looking at the building. Multiple heat signatures we’re walking throughout the building, and if he saw that there were humans walking around without one, he didn’t say anything. ‘J.E.S.S.I.C.A. – are you there?’

‘Of course I am. Although, there is nothing in any regional database at all that provides a record of these two. No documentation, no birth certificate, no school records, not even a family photo.’ J.E.S.S.I.C.A. stated to Tony and the rest of the Avengers.

‘Our mom burned on the ceiling when Sammy here was a boy and our dad was killed by a demon, and we pushed our half brother into hell with the archangel Lucifer and Michael. That give you enough information?’ Dean sarcastically replied, getting an elbow gab in the side from his brother. ‘What? They wanted to know our personal information! Might as well give it to them!’

‘Then check the national databases then! There’s got to be something on these two idiots!’ Tony shouted, making Bruce flinch. J.E.S.S.I.C.A. went through endless amounts of information on anything label ‘Sam & Dean Winchester.’

‘Nothing, boss. Absolutely nothing. It’s like their ghosts.’ The A.I. was absolutely stunned. ‘It’s impossible.’

‘I’ve been through hell and back, J.E.S.S.I.C.A. Nothing’s impossible.’ Tony offered.

‘Have you been in hell literally?’ The younger Winchester snarked.

‘Maybe their working with our foes!’ Thor gave a shrug. ‘Maybe it would be best to kill them now.’

‘Okay, okay, no need to get feisty. Since you won’t let us do our jobs, you won’t be able to do yours. Cas!’ Dean shouted, looking at the sky.

Nothing happened. ‘Castiel? Where are you, man?’

‘Cas, we could really use your help right now.’ Sam looked around for any sign of the angel, and he Avengers honestly thought these men lost their minds.

‘Hello Sam. Hello Dean.’ Castiel stated, behind Natasha.

Natasha jerked back violently. No way. No way was this man with his ugly trench coat had snuck up behind her.

‘Woah. Sneaking up behind Natasha and actually scaring her? Kudos to you, uh, Castiel.’ Clint started clapping, then grinned. ‘What? Come on, you have to admit that was pretty awesome.’

‘Clint, if you don’t shut up, I will stab your eyes out.’ The assassin snapped, and the archer dramatically made an offended gesture, placing his hand over his heart.

‘Nat! Then you’d put me out of the job. My eyes are literally in the job description.’

‘So?’

‘Oh come on, not even a laugh from any of you? Eyes? Hawkeye? That was the perfect opportunity.’ He sighed. Sometimes, the Avengers were too serious.

‘Who are you?’ Bruce turned everyone’s attention back to Castiel.

‘I’m Castiel. I’ve come here because Sam and Dean prayed to me.’ He walked passed the Avengers like…they weren’t the Avengers, and started undoing the ropes. ‘Is there any damages?’

Dean smirked. ‘No. Well, except my lips. Sammy?’

‘Dean! No!’ The younger Winchester looked horrified, but Dean still stole his kiss anyway. ‘Dean! Did you just–I can’t believe you right now. I’m not kissing you for the next week.’

‘I’ll make you regret saying that later, after we kill the demons and find intel on Crowley’s whereabouts.’ The older hunter grinned.

‘Sorry to interrupt your little… lover’s quarrel.’ Steve motioned between the Winchesters. ‘But didn’t you two just say you were…brothers?’

‘What, no! Did I say something like that, Sam?’ Dean plastered on a smile, looking at his brother. ‘I didn’t, right Sam?’

‘Oh, no, of course not! We’re not brothers. We just took ours – his grandfather’s last name, Winchester. I’m Sam Wesson and this is Dean Smith.’ Sam replied, and Castiel was honestly confused. They were brothers, did they forget? Maybe this was the demons doing.

‘Sam, Dean, I’m not sure if you remember, but you two –’ Sam slapped his hand over Castiel’s mouth.

‘Shut up, Cas.’

‘Sir, there isn’t anything in the database for someone named Castiel either,’ J.E.S.S.I.C.A. made something similar to an annoyed noise. ‘They’re practically ghosts.’

‘Castiel, who are you?’ Natasha approached carefully, intrigued by him.

‘My name is Castiel.’

‘No, she meant, who are you?’ Bruce asked, curiosity getting the better of him as usual. ‘I didn’t even hear you approach. And Hulk has heightened senses.’

The angel remained unfazed. ‘I’m an angel of the lord.’

‘Your a – what – that’s it, you’re all going into a hospital.’ Tony held out the repulsor in the trio’s direction as a warning. Dean pulled out a gun from his waistband and Sam pulled out a knife. ‘We can do this my way, or do this your way. Choose wisely.’

‘I think our way is easier.’ Sam remarked, positioning himself into a fighting stance. ‘I don’t exactly want to do this, you know.’

‘Well, you haven’t exactly made it easy for us.’ Steve smiled. ‘Bruce?’

Bruce fell onto his knees, body turning green, grasping his hair while the rest of his body expanded, nerves becoming larger and bulging. A large shout into the air let everyone know he was finished transforming into the Hulk. The Winchesters looked in slight horror as the Hulk watched them in anger, intent to kill. Castiel walked right over while Hulk ran direction in his direction, and two fingers on the first flying towards his face made the giant green foe collapse. Everyone stood still for a moment before Thor growled in anger, throwing Mjolnir in their direction. Sam and Dean darted off to the side, before Sam threw hand out in the hammer’s direction, turning away and hoping that it would work.

‘Oh great, looks like someone’s out of a job.’ Tony’s voice snapped Sam out of his thoughts, and he looked at the Mjolnir in his hand with shock, smile growing by the second. A loud sound of thunder overhead made it’s approval, and Thor just stood there, dumbfounded.

‘God job Sammy.’ Dean pushed himself off the ground, then looked at the Avengers. ‘You guys believe us now? Can we just do our jobs and get it over with?’

‘Actually, I’d like to get a couple of drinks after, get to know you three better. Maybe we could help each other out. With Hydra and you with your – im sorry, what was you’re problem?’ His head plate was open, hand held out for a handshake.

‘The impending darkness and finding the king of hell.’ Dean stated, shaking his hand.

‘Yeah, that.’

‘So, are we going to get done and over with? I really want some pizza.’ Clint whined. He pulled out an arrow and pointed it to Hulk. ‘What are we going to do about the big guy?’

‘Leave him here. We can do this without him, for now at least. Demons don’t die normally. Gotta use a demon blade.’ Sam replied, walking over and handing Thor’s hammer. The Asgardian handed the younger hunter a small smile before turning around and fixing his hair a bit.

‘So…’ Steve started, holding his shield out in from of him and looking at Dean before turning his attention to the abandoned building. ‘You have a catchphrase?’

‘Nah. Let’s use yours.’ Dean replied.

‘Avengers, Assemble!’

holy shit, i absolutely love this :DDD i love how you wrote the avengers’ team dynamic and the way they interacted with sam and dean. cas and natasha’s interaction literally made me laugh out loud, as well as the fact that “thor and sam have beautiful hair” is a warning xD

ALSO! SAM BEING WORTHY OF MJOLNIR! I’LL NEVER BE OVER THAT, I’LL NEVER STOP SCREAMING ABOUT IT, AND I’LL NEVER TIRE OF READING IT IN FIC SDFGHGFDS

endgame thoughts:

soooo that happened I liked it better than I honestly thought I would but there really were a lot of moments of ?????? WHAT???? huh???? so in an attempted but really no particular order

oh clint... you’re still as bland as ever im so sorry

they try soooo hard to make you think tonys gonna die even though we all know he won’t (until later) lol and later they make morgan as cute as possible so it’ll be sad when he does dies

carol and val not being in the second act at all was a bit headscratching like I was figuring they should’ve gotten SOMETHING to do. also carol unfortunately comes off as a deus ex machina bc she always seems to show up right when she’s needed

points for natasha keeping shit running i guess. I appreciated seeing her being vulnerable but at the same something about her felt off idk what like I tried to be invested in her but I still wasn’t. I’m gonna blame previous movies and the fact I don’t like Scarlett for that.

wow killing thanos was easier than expected

hyping up “gay rep” only for it to be a fucking extra was annoying and dude we are waaaayyy past this. I’d rather it wasn’t mentioned beforehand and it was just a mild surprise when watching

Professor Hulk is... something I’m conflicted about. There are some cute/funny moments but it really is not introduced well and its unclear how much of Hulk is still in there. I get that in a stuffed movie like this there’s only so much you can do but... idk I could’ve done with a least a line pre timeskip where Bruce mentions he’s going to talk things out with Hulk or something. I didn’t go in expecting my boy to be done well but c’mon people.

Thor was done dirty and he deserved better. He didn’t deserve mockery over his weight and his trauma. I mean even his mother got in on it yeesh let the poor guy catch a break.

like I get that Tony is marvel’s golden boy who can do no wrong, but having him figure out in one night a concept that was far more likely to be something Bruce should have figured out (since he’s the designated physicist) was... dumb. Bruce should have figured out the theoreticals while Tony was the only person who could figure out how to make his ideas a reality and build the machine so its a group effort. Plot points stay the same but Bruce isn’t dumbed down to make Tony look better.

scotts like the best part of the first act tbh like the emotional moments are great and all but i love him

though honestly Nebula deserves a big shoutout she was probably the best written character in the movie. wish she’s gotten to beat up her “dad” though

time travel makes noooo fucking sense. I was told about it beforehand and was confused but even after watching and having the characters explain it directly they still don’t make sense. its too confusing and it really made the second and third act frustrating to watch when some actions seem okay but others apparently aren’t. You can't take the stones out of time permanently because you risk creating shitty realities but you can go into the past and live out your life there when you were never meant to and change nothing??? huh??? the rules seem to change based on what’s needed for the plot

a lot of things in this plot are contrived actually. plan to collect all the stones going too easily? uhhhhh past nebula uploads present nebulas memories somehow like sure it only kinda makes sense but it sure is convenient for thanos!!!

nat dies and im... sad i guess. i feel bad for not being too sad.

but yeah its annoying how like sure the team seems to be upset that nats gone but most of the lines about it are clints and bruces like she was friends with the others too. also her not getting at least a funeral at the end... hmmph

eeyyyyy Bruce gets his big moment!!! he literally saved the universe! if only the MCU gave a shit about his character so the moment would feel as big as it is despite him accomplishing the entire fucking goal of the movie!!!

aaand thanos coming to rain on the parade

Steve using mjolnir was cool period

peter parker killing people (even if they’re aliens) made me uncomfortable tbh

the all girl lineup moment felt very... self congratulatory... “see we’re totes feminist! we have like ten whole named girl characters!!!”

the whole big battle would’ve been better if playing keep away with the gauntlet was done like the climax of The Great Muppet Caper.

vision... really wasn’t there huh

i won’t lie tonys death was sad but also... couldn’t bruce have just put the gauntlet back on and brought him back (and nat back but from the past? it worked for gamora)???

no one’s talking about how Bruce is the only member of the original 6 who’s an alive active Avenger at the end of the film. Steve’s old, Tony and Nat are dead, clints retired, and thors in space. but bruce is the only one who doesn’t get a scene about what he’s gonna do now?

three movies of thor learning to be responsible thrown out the window just like that

two and a half-ish movies of steve learning to move on thrown out the window just like that

wait we didn’t close with a new team lineup and Sam saying “Avengers Assemble”?

there’s probably more but that’s what I got off the top of my head

#endgame spoilers

im not well versed in crossover AU's in general but go off about them anyway lay it on me

//screams// Guys, Tea is a Literal Blessing™ and I absolutely don’t deserve all this validation but I will soak up on it.

So, the other day I was going through my Ao3 and I realized literally everything I do, ever, is a crossover, so I guess that’s kind of my thing now. Room Enough AU, however, is literally The Crossover™, you know? I have to admit I’ve been working on plotting it for way too many years (I think it was 2016; I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a hot minute) so it’s so much bigger in my head than what I actually have written. Some of the info I’ve managed to actually jot down somewhere is in this little tag right here, but I’m here to provide the basics on what Room Enough AU is and why it’s so important to me.

Under the cut, to keep your dashes clean, my lovelies!

Room Enough for All of Us is a crossover AU between Marvel and DC (because who didn’t see that coming, right?). While most of the crossovers for these franchises I’ve seen and read all start with Bruce and Clark meeting Steve and Tony (who, arguably, are each other’s counterparts) and while I absolutely adore the idea of billionaire Bruce Wayne becoming friends with billionaire Tony Stark, and Clark and Steve bonding over, you know, being seen as literal beings of perfection, Room Enough AU (which we’ll shorten as REAU from now on, although that’s a name I’ve never used for it, but there’s always a first for everything, you know?) actually starts with Tony Stark, betrayed and broken after IM, meeting (or rather, meeting again) one very problematic and highly-skilled pilot, Harold Jordan.

After the events of IM and Tony being betrayed by one of the people he trusted most in the world, Stark Industries starts undergoing heavy restructuring (am I using the right word? Google Translate says so) and among all of these shifts and changes, Pepper insists that he gets a new pilot for his private plane. He goes to Ferris Air, of course, because it’s in California and he’s had contracts with them for years, and when he gets there, there’s this one roudy pilot who manages to not only evade all of the Stark Training Drones in the air, but actually destroys all of them in the process. Tony wants this pilot. He does. He recognizes under-paid talent when he sees it.

Hal has absolutely zero idea of what is happening when Tony offers him the position as his private pilot. Jordan is not all that enthusiastic about being some rich kid’s pilot-for-hire, but after the stunt he’s just pulled? He really should think about getting a new job. Hal doesn’t say yes outright, of course not, he’s got more dignity than that, but Tony just won’t let up.

Not only is Tony Stark some rich billionaire he doesn’t want to be working for either, he’s also one of Hal’s one-night-stands from two years ago. Is Tony fazed at all by this? He is not! Tony Stark is stubborn and he doesn’t care about anything other than getting this man a better salary.

Tony spends about 300 weeks trying to get Hal to actually agree to the job, it’s ridiculous. His gifts are expensive, and they get more extravagant the more time goes on. He even gets Hal Captain rank back for him (if that allowed? I do not know, I have yet to research on this, this is actually a very new development born in the REAU discord chat). Hal draws the line when a Rolex ends up at his home (one of the fancy, classic ones, too, with the green cover) and Jordan calls Tony to tell him to back off.

Twenty minutes later, Hal is agreeing to working for Stark. Carol fired his ass after that whole fiasco with the drones (”They were due for an upgrade, anyways! They’re old and I could do so much better, Ferris! It’s not a big deal.”) so he has to find a way to pay the goddamn bills or move in with Barry, and he doesn’t want to intrude on his best friend like that.

Plus, he loves the sky. Maybe this job isn’t so bad.

Against all odds, and with a lot of difficulties and obstacles, Tony and Hal actually start bonding. Except, whoops, Tony is dying from palladium poisoning, and just as our favorite green boy is warming up to the idea of not only being Tony’s pilot but also his friend, Stark suddenly does a 180 on him and completely backs away.

(It doesn’t help Hal’s confusion that Tony spent the first few weeks of his employment literally changing everything about his life. He gives his company away to Pepper Potts, starts a mentor-apprentice program in which he is the mentor and this girl from Mexico is the apprentice, and just generally starts becoming a Good Man™, in Hal’s eyes.)

Long story short (to wrap this one up, because I could go on for years) Hal finds out Tony is dying with a little help from Natasha (who Hal decidedly stops liking when he finds out she’s been lying to Tony, but who he’ll warm up to again, eventually, and because she loves Barry a whole lot and keeps his boyfriend safe and happy) and then it’s a race against time to save Stark’s life.

And because there is no one smarter (or faster) that Hal Jordan knows, he calls his good buddy The Flash into Tony’s Malibu home and tells Stark that Barry will help him or “so help me god, Anthony Edward Stark, I will find a way to bring your back from death to kill you myself”. When Tony is saved and Barry and him have managed to destroy his entire home, Hal feels like he can breathe again, and Allen smiles at him this sort of way when he catches his shoulders lose all the tension. (”wHAT? WHAT IS IT BARRY?” “You wanted to keep him safe” “He pays my salary, of course I wanted to keep him alive” “Harold” “Bartholomew”)

So, Tony and Hal? They’re really, really good friends. Hal would probably die for Tony, and Tony would absolutely lay down on the wire to let Hal pass (take that, Steve). From the outside, they’re an unlikely pai, except when you look at it closer, they’re literally the only way universes could collide. Barry actually saw it coming from a mile away, but Hal refused to let Tony into his life (Hal is used to everyone leaving; Barry is the exception, of course he is, but that’s Barry there’s no one purer, nicer, or kinder in this whole wide world).

After that, it’s just a lot of JL/Avengers shenanigans, mostly around Barry, Hal, Tony and Steve, once he comes along (and he and Barry aren’t at each other’s throats anymore). It follows losely through IM2, Avengers, probably IM3 (because Harvey Keener) and CA:WS (Barry and Steve bonding!), only to diverge somewhere between that and Age of Ultron (that doesn’t exist, to be all that much honest). I’ve plotted some of the things I want to happen, but since I’m messy and don’t have enough attention span to STAY FOCUSED, I’m still trying to figure out a lot of things.

I’m probably going into Avengers Assemble at some point and work with that. There are some DC storylines I think would fit nicely in there, but I have big gaps in my comic knowledge, so I really have to search for the right things to put.

The funny thing about REAU, however, is how much it has intoxicated every single of my other aus. All of the works that you can find in my Ao3 (right over here) are different iterations of this crossover, brought into different scenarios.

We have Coffee Shop AU, my first non-powered baby whom I love and cherish very much and hopefully will finish one day. We have Hotel AU which is so weird and I have no idea where it came from, but it’s there and it’s some very sweet Clintasha. There’s Prom AU/Childhood Friends AU! That’s sweet and fluffy and features sticker stars and red crayons. We have dumb diner au! The newest published addition to the line of non-powered aus! They’re all great, they’re mostly always the same characters, the same groups of friends (in most non-powered AUs, Steve and Barry don’t hate each other. In fact, usually they know each other from a very long time, along with Bucky, and Steve protects Barry with every ounce of whoop-ass he is) and there’s always some cute-meet that ends up in halbarry ending up together (because yes, they’re all mostly halbarry with a side of stony bcs I’m trash) I’m currently writing blubarry au for halbarry week (which I miscalculated) and it’s actually turned into Paramedic/Blubarry AU and it has absolutely gotten out of control (I’ve finished what could be a first instalment at 13k) and there’s aladdin au for stony that’s still in process and is also a crossover.

Aaaaaaand that’s mostly it, jsjsjsjsj I’m sorry this was so long! I’m so passionate about REAU and all my non-powered aus that it’s overwhelming some times!

Also, that post you did about Natasha? I felt that. My favorite Natasha is the Natasha who gets to be dorky, and cute, and who laughs at and with her friends. My favorite Natasha takes one look at Barry and goes “this one is mine now and if you hurt him I’ll make sure you pay dire consequences”. My favorite Natasha is Natasha painting Tony’s nails on girl’s night (that Tony always crashes, but he also sponsors the whole thing, so it’s alright). My favorite Natasha laughs like a hyenna when Clint makes a dent into their wall because he’s an idiot. My favorite Natasha is Dinah’s best woman, standing right by her, and wiping tears from her eyes without anyone seeing because she still wants to look at least a little bit tough. My favorite Natasha is so beloved by everyone who meets her and I’m !!!!! crying !!!!!

[A/N]: It's Tony's birthday, so I wrote a little Avengers Assemble based birthday fic for him 🎉

It all started after the Avengers had reformed.

Clint had worked his butt off to put together a surprise party for Tony, just because he "wanted to see the dumb look on Tony's face."

The Avengers had been called out on a mission on the day of the party, a particularly rough one. When it was over, everyone was tired and sore.

"C'mon, guys. Let's go back, get cleaned off, and have some of that cake Clint got." Tony had said.

"Wait, what? How'd you know about the surprise party?" Clint moaned. Tony simply cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"It was supposed to be a surprise?"

"I've been trying to surprise Tony for his birthday for ten years," Colonel Rhodes would inform them at the party later, "it's impossible."

That sparked off a little game for the Avengers.

Try to surprise Tony on his birthday.

(Look out for the cut!)

It was harder than most of them expected.

He always seemed to know what the Avengers were doing, whether it be giving him a special gift, throwing him a party, or even just getting him cake.

"He keeps a close eye on the Avengers' finances. He's going to know about anything you buy." Pepper said after one failed attempt that involved Hulk making a gigantic cake. It was delicious and well crafted and Tony loved it, but he also fully expected it, coming into the kitchen as soon as Hulk had put on the finishing touches.

Pepper and Rhodey also joined in on the team's efforts, usually by distracting Tony, but it never seemed to work.

It was frustrating, mostly. Tony wasn't doing it maliciously. He wasn't mocking them or making a big deal over the fact that they couldn't manage to keep a secret from him if it related to his birthday.

And it wasn't like with Steve, who just didn't like to celebrate his birthday. Steve had suggested they not do anything one year, thinking that might be the case, and Tony just threw his own party. Like always, it was a nice party, more suited to the other Avengers tastes than Tony's in fact. But that just made it all the more headscratching.

"You can't at least act surprised?" Sam had asked once.

"You'd notice I was acting." Tony shrugged.

"Steve, is my birthday coming up?" Tony asked one evening when he was trapped in an alternate dimension and it was just Steve in the commincations room.

There were a lot of nights like that.

Steve nodded.

"Did you answer with your head?"

Steve winced when he rememberd Tony couldn't see him and answered aloud.

"Is anyone planning anything?"

"Um, we were going to sing you happy birthday." Steve explained. They had all agreed there was no point in keeping up their game when Tony wasn't physically there.

"Nothing else?"

"No."

"Well, you should at least make yourselves a cake or something." Tony said.

They sat for a few minutes before Steve broached the silence with a question.

"Why don't you let us surprise you for your birthday?" Steve asked cautiously.

He wasn't entirely sure Tony was going to reply when a sigh rang through the speakers.

"It's stupid. When I was a kid I decided to just, always know what peiple were doing for my birthday, because if I already knew than I couldn't be disappointed. Guess I never really grew out of it."

"Did you get disappointed a lot?"

"Howard had a tendency to miss my parties." Steve could picture Tony shrugging. "And he wasn't really creative when he actually got me something. He sent an apology letter with the exact same Captain America action figure for four years in a row. If I'd ever actually gotten him for my birthday, Arsenal would have been the only present Howard actually put thought into."

"I'm sorry." Steve said.

"Don't be. Everyone on our team had worse birthdays growing up. A little disappointment is nothing."

Which brings them to today. The Avengers had thought Tony was dead and he came back to them.

The least they could do was throw their leader, in Clint's words, "THE BEST FUCKING SURPRISE PARTY THAT DUMB GENIUS HAS EVER HAD."

Preparations are the culmination of years of failed surprise attempts by Rhodey and the Avengers.

First, they keep Tony busy. Usually that job falls to Pepper and Rhodey, but this year Steve and Natasha keep him in his lab.

They're in luck because Tony is also swamped with SI work having to deal with the fact that he had been presumed dead by the world. He'd practically flown into a rage when he'd heard Clint had been doing the team finances.

"Even if I'm dead, you guys should be covered. I set that up years ago." Tony had said through gritted teeth. He also promised T'Challa to reimburse the people of Wakanda with interest for footing the bill while he was gone.

Still though, Pepper and Rhodey pay for the party supplies out of pocket (the Avengers also promise to pay them back after) just to be sure it doesn't show up on Tony's radar.

Hulk's on cake duty again, with Kamala acting as his assitant.

Thor calls up a furious thunderstorm while Carol and Jane loudly spar in the training room to cover up any noise from the party set up.

Rhodey and Pepper prepare dinner food, since they're Tony's oldest friends and know his favorite foods better than anyone.

Clint finally gives the signal and Steve and Natasha have a hell of a time prying Tony away from his work to come upstairs for dinner.

Tony marches to the living room grumpily, only planning on taking a quick snack then going back down to the lab.

He's still complaining loudly when a loud chorus of "Surprise!" stops him im his tracks.

Tony stares, speechless, at the arranged party.

"But, i-it's not my birthday." Tony stammers.

"Yes it is." Clint beams. "I had FRIDAY change your calendar so it was about two weeks behind almost as soon as we got back, because I knew you don't start watching for birthday related things until the week before."

"I'm sorry, you what?" Tony says, and he looks about two seconds away from throttling the archer, before Sam intervenes.

"And I double checked to make sure that FRIDAY updated all your schedules and due dates so that you didn't actually miss anything."

"Thank you Sam, I knew you were my favorite bird," Tony smiles. "I guess there really isn't much else to do but get this party started."

Everyone else responds in unison.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY!"
