The three geeks are actual reviewers. But they are characters created for reviewing. I didn't create them. Many thanks to my betareader Para Prosdokia for her help.

Steve and Thor's wacky adventures

The Redemption of Steve

By Marie Nomad

Steve sighed as he lay on the sofa. Thor walked into the living room. "You look sad, my captain. Are you depressed about what happened at the gathering of nerds and geeks?"

"I helped Tony and Clint wrecked a comic book convention. Those are just a bunch of fans. I loved comics too, when I was a kid. I even wanted to be a comic book artist." Steve glanced at the alien, "I messed up."

"Tony was the one who have caused the most of destruction."

"But I should have tried to stop him even while I was drunk."

"There was nothing you could do. Let us go and remedy this situation with this special elixir." Thor stated as he held up the bottle.

Steve blinked. "Your idea of solving a situation caused by getting drunk is to get drunk?"

"Aye!"

The soldier pondered and since he couldn't think of anything to help those poor fans sober, maybe he could try to do it drunk. "Why not?"

A few drinks later...

Steve woke up with the familiar throbbing headache. "Did we fix things?" He found himself in a dark room with three chairs above him. "Where are we?"

"We appear to be in a room of judgment, what you mortals call 'a court room'."

"What did we do this time?" Steve asked as he drank his glass of water.

"Captured us." Tony answered. Steve and Thor looked to see Tony and Clint tied up in straitjackets looking annoyed. "You got drunk and dragged us here to get judged."

"I thought the charges were dropped when you paid for the damages."

"By the criminal courts. Not by the Geek Court."

"The Geek Court?"

Three young men walked up to the chairs and sat down. The one to the left was a young man with dark curly hair, wide brown eyes, and wore a t-shirt. The one in the middle was dressed in a black ball cap, a jacket, a white t-shirt, and a tie. The one to the right was wearing a tilby, glasses, a plaid shirt, and a jacket. All three of them looked pissed.

"Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic."

"Hello, I'm Linkara."

"And I'm The Spoony One."

"Why do you call yourself, the Spoony One? Are you an expert in the act of spooning?" Thor asked.

"Well, actually, it's a funny story involving a bard-"

"Guys! We're here to judge Iron Man and Hawkeye!" Linkara snapped.

"Fine." Spoony rolled his eyes.

"So, you three managed to destroy Comic Con while drunk? How do you plead?" Nostalgia Critic asked staring at the two.

"We did it. No excuses. There was this one guy who said that I'm not Iron Man and that my costume wasn't not accurate. I showed him." Tony replied.

"That was... easy! Now to the punishment! BWAHAHAHAHA!" Lightning flashed all over the reviewer. The Avengers looked over at Thor who held up his hands.

"It was not me."

"Ideas for any interesting punishments?" Nostalgia Critic rubbed his hands.

"We turn them into animals!" Spoony yelled.

"We've been turned into animals." Tony admitted.

"Put them through... the Hunger Games challenge!" Nostalgia Critic boomed.

"Been through that." Clint shrugged.

"Must go through the Wipe Out arena on the roof top of a really high building?" Linkara asked.

"Done that."

Nostalgia Critic glared at the two. "Well that's just dandy! Conference!" The three geeks huddled up and they whispered back and forth. Steve listened the best that he could but all he could hear is 'That's harsh.' and 'That's just cruel.'

Finally, the three broke apart. Nostalgia Critic cleared his throat and stated. "You are superheroes. You're supposed to protect us, not threaten us. We respect you and your work unless a bad movie or comic shows up and we will rip it to shreds. On behalf of geeks and nerds everywhere, I hereby punish you with BATTLEFIELD EARTH!"

Tony's face paled. "No!"

"Yes! We'll tie you up and gag you and sit you between a pair of fan girls! I guarantee you that by the end of the movie, you both will be a pair of crybabies all cuddled up on your girlfriends' laps!" Nostalgia Critic added on.

Steve and Thor looked at each other. "I have watched this Battlefield Earth. The aliens are not impressive." Thor commented.

"I can't have this. Tony and Clint just recovered from the party I threw for the vets."

"Oh... the old people orgy." Spoony winced.

"There was no orgy. I don't think there is." Steve argued.

"Well, since I'm patriotic and your movie's awesome. What do you suggest?" Nostalgia Critic asked.

Steve glanced at Tony. He knew that Tony had to learn a lesson and those fans at Comic Con must get justice. "Tony has some geek stuff like authentic custom outfits, a lightsaber, and even a TARDIS."

"Does it work?" Linkara asked.

"Well, I couldn't get it to travel in time, yet." Tony replied.

"I see."

Nostalgia Critic stroked his goatee. "This puts a new slant into this. I am giving you two choices, you can either sit through Battlefield Earth tied and gagged while sitting between two fangirls or you can give away your geek stash where we will raise funds to repair Comic Con and help our fellow geeks. The choice is yours."


"Next up is an authentic Dr. Who TARDIS! Note, it won't travel in space and time." The auctioneer stated.

"Awww..." The fans moaned.

"I haven't had time to conquer time travel yet." Tony bristled as he and his fellow Avengers watched Tony's secret stash get auctioned off.

"I'm sorry you can't buy your stuff back." Steve said as he watched the various fans bidding on Tony's stuff.

"It's just stuff. I can replace it or build it." Tony shrugged. "At least they will be put to good use."

"True."

"I'm sorry about the mess I made and dragging you and Clint into it."

"It's okay."

The group kept on watching. "I'm going to build a real TARDIS." Tony announced.

The End
