《Marvel One-Shots》Hide-and-Cheat
Advertisement
To say Peter was excited was an understatement. He was ecstatic. Tony had told him the Avengers were coming over and it was time for him to get his prank back at Sam and Clint. Last time they were here, Peter had woken up in the river nearby on a raft. It wasn't fun. For the next few days, Sam and Clint would come up laughing in his face and would then walk away. He didn't exactly have a prank prank kinda prank cause he wasn't allowed to do those anymore after "the incident".
"Peter? The teams going to be here soon!!" Tony yelled from the kitchen.
"Okay dad! I'm setting up the thing now!!"
"Do you really need to do this Peter? Why not just tell them? I mean their probably all going to yell at me." Tony sighed out as he slurped his coffee while watching the young hero with an amused look.
"What the hell are you even doing?"
"You know how a few weeks ago I got pranke-"
"Hell no. Your not pulling that shit again. You almost gave me a heart attack last time."
"And I said I was sorry. And this isn't dangerous. It's just a way to be funny and to tell the team I'm Spider-Man." 'It's also to get back at those assholes'
Tony sighed and went to take another sip of his coffee, only to find that there was none left, "What are you planning to do anyways?"
"I was going to do a game of hide and seek, but I'm kinda cheating cause no one knows I can go on the ceiling. And then I'll be the last one so I'll win and then I'll show them where I was. I also rigged the bowls to determine who was it. There are two bowls, each one saying who the seekers would be, one bowl has all Clint, the other has all Sam. I also told FRIDAY that no vents are allowed and if Clint tries, the shockers I put up there will go off."

"Damn. I gotta see this."
The elevator ringed bring the attention of the duo the the team as the stepped out. "Hey guys" Steve said as he walked out leading the other members. "It's movie night right?"
"Sure is. But Pete here wanted to play a game."
Peter saw Clint and Sam stiffen slightly. He only grinned more.
"Okay! So, we're playing hide and seek. Vents are off limits. No killing anyone and no knives Natasha".
Natasha slowly slid the silver dagger back into her pocket.
"Okay! Lets see who's it."
————————————————————————
"Damn. I'm not surprised it was us. Now that I think about it, Peter probably rigged it."
"Shut up Sam. We'll never find anyone with you yapping the whole time. Anyways, it was bound to happen after we pranked him. I just hope he doesn't do that again."
"Yeah. That was was too far."
The two stopped as they came upon a figure floating slightly above the floor.
"Vision? What are you doing?"
"I am hiding."
"No your not. Your staring at the wall."
"You can see me?"
"Yeah. Your out dude."
The pair watched as Vision floated back to the common room.
After another 10 minutes the found Wanda in the stairwell, Tony in the kitchen getting coffee(they found him cause of the noise) and Steve, who tried to hide under his shield.
"Okay. So, that means we have to find Nat, Peter, Thor, and Bruce."
"Clint. I know his sounds stupid but I think I know how to find Thor."
After setting out a trail of pop tarts around the corner of the hall, Sam yelled out "man! Are these pop-tarts are good!"
And that's how Thor got out.
"Sam? I think I know where Nat is. Just think about it."

"I don't know what your thinking."
"Fine. Just follow me."
Clint went back into the lounge where the Avengers who got out we're relaxing. "Bruce get up...wait. Bruce!!"
"Yeah?"
"Weren't you playing?"
"No."
Bruce got up and walked over to the recliner and continued to read. Clint took off the couch cushion and saw Natasha pretzeled under it. "How the hell?"
"Did I win?"
"No, still haven't found Peter."
"Dang. Do you have an idea where he is?"
And Clint and Sam set off again.
————————————————————————
"Tony? We lost Peter. This kid knows how to hide."
"He's not even trying guys."
"You know what! Clint we did the best we could. FRIDAY? Where is Peter?"
"Master Peter is currently in the same room as you."
"What?"
The entire team was now curious to where Peter was hiding so they all started walking around to find him. Steve was the one to find the teen asleep in a hammock on the elevator ceiling which had stalled on their floor. "How the heck?"
"Peter?" Tony said staring up at the sleeping teen. He stirred slightly and rolled over to face the teams gaping mouths.
"Yeah? Did I win?"
"Yeah bud you did."
"Sweet." Peter slowly got up from the hammock and walked off causing the team to freak out and reach out for him.
Only for him to crawl down the wall.
There was a lot of screaming.
"Got ya assholes."
"At least you didn't do what you did last time."
"SHUT UP I SAID I WAS SORRY."
And they spent the next two hours watching Ponyo.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Second Chances
Given a chance for reincarnation and tasked by the System, I picked the Sidhe for this second life. A world of Seelie, Unseelie, Kelpie, Redcaps, and Slaugh. The Gods of the Tuantha de Danann forced into sleep, the people forced to remain locked on their home planet. In this latest Book, Teigh Mac de Beleros y Cyronax has saved his people from stagnation and ruin. His denouncement of Olympus and Asgard before the Universal Senate has allowed the Sidhe to break the ties that constrained them, and the chains that kept them rooted to their home world. But the Sidhe and the Tuatha de Danann are unique across all multi-verses and all Pantheons. They have the unique ability to travel anywhere and anywhen. But this ability comes at a cost. The Tuatha de Danann do not have incarnations seeded across each Universe. There is only one Tuatha de Danann, and when Athena and Loki come to Teigh with the tales of a plot that will destroy not only the Tuatha de Danann but the multi-verse, he removes his crown to once more face off against Zeus and Odin and save his people. Second Chances has been taken down for editing and a major rewrite...
