The Avengers were still lounging around the common area despite the late hour, but most of them were falling asleep from the excitement of the day. Peter was one of the few still awake, playing thumb wars with Nat.

"1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war!" The pair chanted before battling it out, awkwardly waving their arms as they tried to get a good angle to win. Thanks to his powers and flexibility, Peter was able to snatch her thumb quickly and hold it down.

"Cheater!" Nat grumbled with a scowl as she sunk into the couch. Nearby, a sleeping Tony grunted as he shifted on the couch, but didn't wake at the exclamation. The teenager laughed at the scene, no one would ever think the Avengers could look so domestic, with the majority of them sprawled across the couch and floor.

Nat started to pout at her loss, but sent him a death glare when she caught him looking, "If you ever tell anyone about this you'll be completely unrecognizable to anyone who ever knew you."

She said it in an ice-cold tone that chilled Peter to the bone. Gulping, he stuttered, "I swear, Nat… I won't ever."

Glaring for another minute before cracking a grin, "Aw relax, shchenok. I would never do that to the second-best prankster in the tower, you have so much potential." Nat ruffled his hair, smirking when he slapped her hand away. "Speaking of which, do you want to pull another prank?"

A sly grin crossed Peter's face as he saw the twinkle in his teammate's eyes. "Let's do it."

BREAKING NEWS: The Newest Prohibition for Candy?

November 1st, 7:36 A.M.

By Edward Brock

NEW YORK CITY, NY – The children across the U.S. will wake to a sweet surprise this morning while adults will get a sour one. Early this morning, that the White House released a new Executive Order that said all United States residents over the age of 18 are prohibited from eating candy. What a not so sugary wake-up on the morning after Halloween.

The White House has not yet released the official reasoning for the new prohibition, but it inferred that it was part of a new health initiative for the country. Twitter is already buzzing with outraged adults about the new mandate and many calling it the "worst act against humanity". The true authenticity of the mandate is still unclear, but we do know that many adults are not happy.

Peter was munching on his cereal when Steve wandered into the kitchen the next morning. The blond greeted Peter as he reached in for a smoothie, "Morning, son. How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good," the teenager replied in between bites. Steve joined him at the table and they ate together when Bucky and Wanda came in to join them.

"Hello," Wanda hummed while Bucky waved to the duo. Using her red magic to grab them bowls, Bucky got the milk and they poured themselves some of Peter's cereal.

Usually, by now, Bucky and Steve would have run ten miles by now while Wanda would have started her yoga routine, but after the excitement of the late-night, the general mood among the residents was to ease into the morning. Thus the four teammates ate together in comfortable silence.

About twenty minutes later, Sam sauntered in with a large yawn. He immediately made a beeline for the cabinet where his candy was, eager like a little kid. "Mm, peanut M&M's come to me," Sam brown eyes sparkled as he opened his bag.

Watching him surreptitiously, Peter sipped his milk as Sam screeched, "It's all gone!"

The rest of the Avengers looked up in alarm. "What do you mean?" Steve questioned his friend while Sam gestured to the empty bag.

"My candy! It's gone!"

The four superheroes exchanged confused looks before Wanda took off towards her room and a minute later came marching back furiously. "Mine is missing too."

Meanwhile, Steve had checked the drawer he and Bucky had stashed theirs, "Ours is missing as well."

Shooting off a text, Peter spoke up, "You guys didn't hear?"

His teammates looked at the teenager with a mix of confusion and suspicion. "What are you talking about, son?" Steve asked.

Scrolling through his phone to show them, Peter said, "Yeah, there's a new executive order that says anyone over the age of 18 isn't allowed to have candy anymore." Pulling up the webpage with various news articles, he passed his phone around to his teammates. "It's a law now."

"How come I never heard about this?!" Sam cried with outrage, as he held his empty bag with despair. "I just wanted some peanut M&M's."

Bucky and Steve simply shared a confused look while Wanda asked, "Who took the candy? If we're not to have it, did someone break in and take it?"

"F.R.I.D.A.Y.," Steve called, "Who took our candy?"

A bead of sweat began to form on Peter's brow, thankfully no one noticed it as F.R.I.D.A.Y. spoke. "Agent Romanoff took it, sir."

Sam's eyes bugged out even more, "Why would Nat do that?!" Peter took a nervous sip of milk as his teammates began to speculate.

F.R.I.D.A.Y. interrupted their conversations, "Agent Romanoff informed me that she was mailing it to the Barton's. She told me to tell Mr. Wilson specifically that Lila loves peanut M&M's." Sam let out a whimper when he heard the last sentence.

Before anyone else could say anything, Tony's voice came over the intercom. "Guys! Why is F.R.I.D.A.Y. telling me about Red stealing our candy because some governmental order told her to? Since when does Red listen to any government official?"

Seeing his chance, Peter greeted his mentor, "Hi Mr. Stark! Nat was eager to give the candy to the Barton's, so I don't think she cares. She got really happy about giving them all sugar highs."

Wanda snorted at that, "Laura won't be happy about that." Bucky chuckled in agreement.

Tony replied, his tone filled with irritation, "But that still doesn't explain why she made off with my stash."

"I told you, Mr. Stark, Nat was just following the new law."

"I don't believe it," the billionaire grumbled, his voice crackling from a poor connection. "I'm going after her. I want my candy back."

"Um, I don't think that's wise," Steve cautioned. "You know Nat will just do what she wants."

"Steve's right, Shellhead," a feminine voice came from the elevator. Nat stepped out as the doors parted to allow her into the common area and she was immediately met with unhappy faces.

"You!" Sam shouted, pointing his finger at the spy. "You stole my peanut M&M's!"

A smirk crossed her face, "I was just following the law, Sam. I'm sure Lila will send you a thank you card."

A groan escaped Sam as he sank into his seat with a scowl. Steve rubbed his shoulder while Bucky snickered.

"Red!" Tony sounded from the intercom, "I'm coming back there to kick your ass. I want my candy back."

"You're a billionaire, Tony." Nat reasoned, "You can always buy some more for yourself."

"It's the principle of it all, Tasha. You don't steal a man's possessions like that."

"It was for the kids," the redhead replied with a shrug. "What can I say?" She sauntered on over to wrap her arm around Peter, "Besides speaking of kids, we have a real winner right here in Petey."

"I told you not to call me that!" Peter complained as she ruffled his hair playfully.

"Fine, I'll stick with shchenok," Nat smiled. "Now come on, you promised to show me Queens today."

"Oh yeah!" The teenager jumped up excitedly, walking with a bounce in his step towards the elevator and pulling Nat along with him. The rest of the team watched with shock as the doors closed and the two disappeared from sight.

"That was strange," Wanda commented, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.

Steve nodded, "When did they get so close?"

"Wait, did Red just steal the kid?" Tony asked, unable to see what just happened.

"Wow, this is a lot of candy." Peter's eyes widened as he looked at their stolen stash. "And they won't be able to trace it here? To us?"

The spy nodded confidently, "This is one of my secret hideaways. Tony's never tracked me here and as long as you come with me, he can't follow you either."

"And our agreement still stands? Equally split?"

"Yes," Nat reached out to shake his hand, which he took. Peter turned to his share and pulled out the peanut M&M's, stuffing a few in his pocket.

"Are you taking those for Sam?" His partner raised an eyebrow, causing him to pause.

"Maybe…"

Nat smiled warmly, "You're a sweet kid, Peter. Don't ever change."

"Thanks, Nat."

She held up a Milky Way bar and took a bite, "Your first prank complete. I think this will be the start of a beautiful partnership."

He held up a Hershey's bar to toast with her Milky Way, "But we can give Wanda's candy back tomorrow right? I feel bad that we took hers."

"Yeah, we can do that. Just not Tony's, he still buys his own."

"Are we ever going to tell them this was just a really elaborate prank?"

"Maybe," Nat cocked her head with a smirk. "But I think it'll take at least a day. My hacking was pretty extensive but with your additions to the code, it looked very legitimate. Plus, I pushed it through the official channels, so it'll depend on how long the government takes to admit they got hacked."

His jaw dropped, "Wait. You sent our fake executive order to the whole country?"

She grinned at him, "Don't ever doubt me, Peter. Together we'll go far as a pranking duo."

They just lounged around for the rest of the day, plotting more pranks for the upcoming holidays and laughing as the internet went crazy over the candy prohibition.

A/N: Real quick fact check: In this chapter, they call an executive order a law. That is not technically true since a law has to be proposed as a bill and passed through both of the houses in congress before being signed by the president before it even becomes a law. A law is permanent unless it is repealed. Executive orders are made by the president and do not go through Congress at all, therefore they are not laws. But I took creative liberties here calling an executive order a law because a lot of executive orders are mistaken as laws. This was supposed to be a prank where Nat and Peter messed with the Avengers and by extension, the rest of America's heads by making up this fake executive order banning candy. That was long, but I wanted to clear it up in case there's confusion.
