Hunting Eggs (Avengers x Reader) OneShot

You spent most of the night wandering around the Tower, but it was defnitely worth it. You excitedly ran down the corridor, storming in the living room, where all the Avengers were fraternizing, probably unaware of what day it was.

"Good morning!" You shouted.

"I hate when she wakes like that." Tony complained, sighing.

You smacked the back of his head when walking next to his sit. "Shut up, Tony." You jumped next to Bruce opening a wide grin.

"Ok, now I have a bad feeling about where this is heading to." Natasha stated. You glared momentanely at her, before returning to face all of them.

"Seriously? None of you know what day is today?" You asked, frowning.

"Oh, God! We forgot your birthday?" Clint asked, this time actually concerned. You rolled your eyes.

"No. I'm almost sure her birthday has already passed." Thankfully, Steve answered for you.

"It's Easter, guys!" You whined, disapointed with them. "C'mon! You really forgot that?"

"What is easter?" Thor asked, tilting his head. You gave him a gentle smile.

"It's a Midgardian religious holiday, but that's really not the point. The thing is we have this... tradition of hunting eggs on Easter."

"Eggs?" Thor frowned.

"Yes, painted eggs. Anyway, I planned something for us today." You said.

"Hell no! That's for children, (y/n)!" Tony said, easily catching up on your thoughts.

You made your best puppy eyes and pouted your lower lip slightly.

"I spent the whole night hiding the eggs, I thought you would like some fun at least once." You shrugged and looked down.

Tony growled and you supressed the will of smirking. You knew they were all wrapped around your fingers. Bruce placed his hand on your shoulder.

"I guess we could... try it." He said. Bruce was always the first one to fall in your traps. You always wondered how could this melted heart man turn into the other guy. 

"Really?" You lit up with his suggestion, boucing on the couch like a small child. "I promise it will be a lot of fun!" You said. "And guess what..." You jumped up "There will be a prize!"

They looked at each other and you could already feel the competition glares, that made you chuckle. "Natasha, Tony and Thor, you are team number one. Clint, Bruce and Steve, you're number two."

"How does it work?" Thor asked.

"It's really simple actually. There are eggs hidden everywhere, even in your own rooms, all you need to do is collect them and..." You opened the cabinet in the corner of the room and grabbed the baskets you had bought in the other day, throwing one for each Avenger. "Put them here. The team with more eggs wins."

"I can't believe I'm doing that." Tony said dumbfolded.

"Yes, you are, honey." You said, smirking. "And don't you dare ask directions for JARVIS, I already talked to him. He won't help you. Right, JARVIS?"

"That's correct, Miss (l/n)."

"Turncoat."

You giggled. "Any other objection? No? So... Let the hunt begin and that the best team win!" You yelled, happily jumping. Your last words were enough to bring their competitivity side.

Clint climbed the air vents, quickly vanishing. Steve started running not long after Natasha did the same. Tony called his suit and started scanning the room, walking in large steps.

The only one who didn't seemed in a hury was Bruce, who simply sighed.

"Bruciee!" You sang, moving towards him. "You need to move if you want to win." You said.

"(y/n), I'm not a child." He stated.

"C'mon, Bruce!" You glanced to your surroundings and leaned closer, so he could hear your whisper. "I'm rooting for you." You told him, placing a peck on his cheek. "Go get them and I promise your prize will be special."

That seemed to trigger him. Bruce found three eggs in that same room before also vanishing.

You grinned to youself and started moving, so you could check their progress on the hunt.

Things went better than expected, since we are talking about the Avengers. Obviously that would be some damage. A lot of damage.

You reached the first floor and couldn't spot anything wrong, maybe some furniture out of place, but that was it. You checked every floor. Some looked pretty normal, but other were a complete mess. The 10th floor, for example. There was a trail of smoke that made you cough, arrows and holes in the walls and a lot of broken things. It wasn't the worst.

They took the challenge pretty seriously.

Eventually, you returned to the living room, only to find the Avengers in a completal disorder.

Natasha and Clint were panting and had some bruises, Steve's hair was a mess and the Iron man suit was scratched in many places. Thor seemed fine, but you could tell by his furrowed brows that he was just as exhausted as everyone else. You laughed, almost falling backwards. Bruce caught you. You flushed, recovering your balance and looking to the teams.

"Time to count!" You said, pushing Bruce towards the rest of his team. You gave them some time and when you thought both teams were done, asked: "How many?"

"41" Tony answered. You gave him a questioning look, quirking an eyebrow at him but he only rolled his eyes. "Fine. 40."

You smiled and turned to Bruce.

"42" He proudly said.

You nodded in approval. "See? It was fun wasn't it?"

Nat looked to the others and shrugged. "Well, I had some fun kicking Steve's ass."

He glared at her, blushing. "That's not what happened!"

"Even though brother Clint tried to block my way with his explosive arrows, I must add that this tradition of yours is really entertaining." Thor grinned.

"That's not how it usually happens, but I enjoyed it. I guess you were right, (y/n)." Tony said. You beamed, amused with their statements.

"I'm so happy you had fun!"

"Where's the prize?" Clint was the one who asked. You rolled your eyes.

"Just go the kitchen. I prepared chocolate cake and cookies for everybody."

"Now I really feel the hunt was worth." Clint said. You were great doing desserts and all of them knew that.

They stormed out of the room and you were about to follow, when someone cleared his throat. Your gaze moved back to Bruce, standing there withe folded arms. You almost jumped to where he was.

"Tell me, how did you managed to be the only one who came out completely unharmed without hulking out?"

He smiled. "I simply avoided them and found the better hidden eggs. I just wanted to know... Do I still get my special prize?"

"Of course you do." You said, wrapping your arms around his neck and nuzzling. Bruce chuckled.

"You're adorable." He said, hugging your waist and placing a kiss on your forehead. "Let's go get a slice of cake before Thor eats everything."
