Summary:
Title is self-explanatory. Where the Avengers try out videogames. Chaos ensues!
OO-OO
OO-OO
The Avengers, Jane and Pepper included, were assembled in the main living room of Stark Tower, sat on the sofa and several leather beanbags in front of the 60 inch flatscreen TV. A table sat in front, tons of sweets and chocolate, as well as energy drinks, spread on top. Tony had suggested to the others that, for team bonding, they should try videogames. He managed to persuade them. Now, they were debating on what to try first. Ideas ranged from Slender: The Eight Pages, to Assasin's Creed, to MarioKart. After at least ten minutes of discussion, they decided to try MarioKart. It was decided that Tony, Steve, Clint, and Bruce would go first. Handing out Wii remotes and steering wheels, Tony let Clint and Bruce explain the controls to Steve, while he set up the TV and console. The speakers blared as the MarioKart logo appeared on screen, making Steve jump.
They decided not to to a team race- Tony was too competitive. After a few moments, it was time to select their characters. It took Steve a few minutes, but he managed to select his character- Luigi, opting for a green motorbike. Tkny chose Mario, because he had, and quote :An awesome mustache. He opted for a standard kart. Bruce chose Bowser, and Clint chose Donkey Kong, choosing the biggest Kart he could find.
Being kind (for once), to Steve, Tony chose the first course of the Mushroom Cup. One of the easiest.
Their characters appeared in the screen, which was split into four. Tony pointed out to Steve where his character was.

They all got ready, cracking their knuckles.

Each of them gripped the steering wheels tightly.

GO!
Tony and Clint zoomed off, Steve following close behind, Bruce bringing up the rear.
"Go! Metal man!" Thor shouted as Tony blew up Clint's kart with a red shell.
"Ha!" Tony grinned at Clint as he sped off.
"Shit." Clint swore.
"This is confusing!" Steve frowned as his Kart somehow sped past Clint, wobbling and almost going off-track.
"Come on, Clint!" Natasha shouted.
"2nd lap!" Tony called out.
"How many is there?" Steve asked, biting his lip with concentration.
"3 laps." Tony replied, smirking as he sped past Bruce, who was still on his first lap. The scientist really was no good at video games.
"I'm gonna get you, Cap." Clint grinned as he prepared to fire a red shell at Steve's motorbike.
But Steve made his character drop a banana peel. He sped off as Clint hit the banana peel, his Kart spinning out of control. Bruce got onto the second lap. He got a gold star, and his kart sped towards the others, sparkling and glowing gold.
"On my way!" Bruce called.
"What?" Steve exclaimed as Clint blew his character up with a bomb and sped past.
"Hahaha!" Clint laughed.
"Yes!" Natasha grinned.
"Tony, your gonna beat them!" Pepper grinned.
"Do not give up, Steven!." Thor encouraged.
"Come on, is that the best you got?" Tony mocked as he got onto the third and final lap.
"Almost there!" Jane called as Steve's motorbike got closer to Clint's kart, his character wielding a red shell.
Clint drew closer to the finish line.
He picked up speed.
Everyone laughed as Steve hit Clint's character with the red shell and sped past, crossing the finish line just before him. To top it all of, Bruce smashed into Clint's kart, speeding across the finish line and pushing the angry archer into last place.
"Victory!" Tony grinned, throwing his arms up in the air. Pepper high fived him.
"Damnit!" Clint and Natasha cursed at the same time.
"Wow." Steve blinked at the screen.
"Just got it." Bruce smiled.
"How the hell did Cap get 2nd?" Clint was extremely pissed off.
"Natural." was Jane's normal reply.
"Captain America- super soldier and MarioKart prodigy." Tony laughed.
"Ok. So Tasha, Pepper, Thor, and Jane next?" Clint asked.
"Yup." Tony nodded. He handed his remote to Pepper.
Steve gave Thor his Wii controller, Clint reluctantly handed his to Natasha, and Bruce handed his to Jane. Tony explained the controls again to Thor, going over them several times so the God got it. Once Thor got the basics, Natasha told them all to select their characters. She chose Princess Peach and a pink kart.
"Cute." Tony raised his eyebrows. Natasha kicked him.
Jane chose Rosalina, and a blue motorbike. After some deliberation, Pepper chose Yoshi and an egg-shaped kart. They waited several minutes before Thor finally managed to select his character, Wario. It was a further five minutes of impatient cursing before Thor chose a big yellow car. Natasha flicked through the courses, before deciding on Bowser's Castle. She grinned evilly as everyone's characters appeared on screen. Jane showed Thor which screen his character was on.

Natasha clicked her fingers.

Jane gave Thor an encouraging smile.

GO!
They sped off, except for Thor, who pressed the accelerate button too early, causing his car to explode in a cloud of black smoke. Once he was moving, Thor exaggerated his movements. Natasha was in first, Pepper and Jane in joint second. Thor somehow started driving backwards, smashing into every corner.
"Curse this!" Thor shouted.
"Calm down, big guy." Tony tried to hide his laughter, but failed.
"This mortal game is extremely confusing! How does one- NO!" Thor drove his car into lava.
"Ha." Natasha got onto the second lap.
"Ha." Jane blew up Natasha's kart with an explosive blue shell, speeding past, leaving Natasha in the dust. Natasha mumbled something in Russian. Probably a curse or a death threat.
"Go on, Pepper! Beat the crap out of them!" Tony cheered as Pepper's kart smashed into Natasha's character and sped past.
"For ASGAAARD!" Thor yelled as his kart sped past Jane, Natasha creeping into second.
Tony fell about laughing at Thor's outburst, laughing louder as he smashed into Natashas kart, which made her crash into Jane, which made them crash into Pepper. A stray bomb exploded, making them all curse. Thor charged past, going straight, widly swerving round corners, smashing into every obstacle. They soon reached the third lap. In a line, they approached the finish line. Pepper was first, Jane second, Natasha third, Thor last. Thor got a speed blast, so he charged forward, knocking everyone out of the way.
"NOOO!" Jane, Pepper and Natasha shouted as Thor crossed the finish line.
"VICTORY! I HAVE CLAIMED THE GOLDEN GRAIL OF WINNING!" Thor shouted with glee.
"Crap.." Natasha muttered.
"I failed..." Jane shook her head.
"..." Pepper sighed.
"For my victory, I declare that we have a feast!" Thor grinned. "Where be the Pop Tarts, friend Stark?"
