What a sad strange little man11/20/2022 "There were inklings of terror." "I hope so. "What did you think, Captain? Did I strike terror into your heart?" Thor's eyes were wide and pleading. "RUN FOR THE HILLS, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF FILTH, OR FEEL THE WRATH OF THOR ODINSON, CROWN PRINCE OF ASGARD!!!" "Hi, Thor," Steve said flatly. "WHAT TREACHEROUS KNAVE DARES INVADE MY NOBLE REALM?!?!?!" Thor bellowed, waving his arms some more and knocking Steve's helmet off his head. He flung out his arms, thrust Mjolnir up towards the ceiling, and roared in Steve's face. A red-and-black snake with yellow eyes began to curl up his right leg when- BAM!!! Thor burst through the fortress's front wall, scattering Legos everywhere. "If that kid smashes my mouth against Clint's one more time, I swear I will-" "Great to hear it!" Steve stood outside the fortress that the Legos had just constructed out of themselves and he waited, letting the rubber snakes slither around his feet. "And how are you doing, Natasha?" Her face contorted into a dissatisfied smirk. You can't miss 'im." "Okay, thanks, Clint," Steve answered, making his way past the Fisher-Price village towards the Legos. "He's hiding behind the Legos, right next to the giant snakes. "You looking for Thor?" Clint asked, swinging his legs up over the drawer's edge. He always insisted that they were a couple in his various games and stories, but Steve knew they were best friends, nothing more. He looked up and saw Clint (an archer action figure) and Natasha (a Secret Agent Barbie) crawling out of the desk drawer, where Phil had left them. He stood there for a few moments, slightly dazed, until an arrow landed at his feet. "Uh, yeah, okay! See you then!" Steve called out. Stop by my shoebox later and we can discuss a method of repayment." She walked away, waving. "I, uh, well, I, uh, I owe you one." She smiled. "Who do you think put him up to it?" Peggy (an Intelligence Officer Barbie) said as she strolled up to Steve. But you-you got options, baby." "Thank you, Hamm," Steve mouthed before the piggy bank strolled around the crib's corner with an attentive Loki in tow. Cap's stuck at Neutral Good and so are the other Avengers. "Really? I hadn't thought of that." "Oh yeah," Hamm began as he led Loki away from Steve. You can always play up the Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Good parts of your character alignment." Loki turned to Hamm. "Eh, don't worry about it, Trickster! I'm a lot more limited than you-as a Bond villain knockoff, I can only be Chaotic Evil. No one ever needs Loki, all because of some blasted comic books!" Hamm clopped past them again. Now, I need to find your brother." Loki scowled. Surely Phil's very, very favorite toy was completely ready to welcome some new friends, weren't you?" Loki gave Steve a sneaky grin and patted his shoulder. "You can learn a lot if you listen closely enough, Captain. Porkchop." "You knew about the party?" Steve asked, shocked that a toy Phil never played with on its own would be keeping track of this. And what with the birthday party today, we might get a toy who could be a new villain-a proper rival for Evil Dr. "And perhaps instead of being an evil sorcerer, I could be the daring and brave sorcerer who swoops in to save the day when a much-too-powerful villain kidnaps all of the Avengers. Porkchop-" "Hey, thanks, Loki-buddy!" Hamm said as he passed by. Now I know every good story needs a proper villain, but I'll never live up to the high standard Hamm has set with his Evil Dr. "Listen, I was wondering if you've begun to put in a good word for me with Phil like we talked about. "Oh, hello, Captain." He slung his arm around Steve's shoulders and spoke softly. It's on my box! I should not be babysitting Princess Drool!" Loki grumbled as he slid down the crib's front left leg. Thor wasn't there, but his younger brother, Loki, was climbing out from between the bars, his plastic hair still shiny with spit. First, Steve checked by Phil's half-sister Darcy's crib. He stood up, cupped his hands around his mouth, and bellowed, "STAFF MEETING, EVERYBODY!" No one heard him. As soon as Phil finished the latest installment of their game (ending in a cliffhanger with Loki and Hamm trapping Peggy in an Axis weapons factory), Steve clambered across the bed and onto Phil's desk. He'd been so preoccupied getting everyone ready for the that he'd completely forgotten about this. The news hit Steve like a Tonka truck: Phil's birthday party was today.
