Chapter Text
It was another boring night in the Avengers' tower. Nothing much has been happening except for a few small robberies. Some had taken advantage of this and go on a small holiday, while others are just bored out of their minds. Mainly Tony. He didn't need to build anything, and he didn't want to host any parties.
He always got too drunk and got quite the scolding from Pepper.
But at least it was better than last month. They had narrowly stopped an invasion by Loki, Thor's brother. It was hectic, so he shouldn't really be complaining.
"Sir, you have a call from Steven Rogers," Jarvis, his AI assistant told him. Probably calling about another small robbery, as always.
With a tired sigh, he said, "Put him on."
"What is it, Cap?" he said, clearly uninterested.
"We got another robbery."
"Just let the cops handle it. I'm sure it's nothing," he replied nonchalantly.
"No, we can't because this guy, from what I've heard, has a yellow rat that can electrocute people!" Tony perked up a little at this Now he seemed a little more interested. This is something he could get on.
"Alright, send me your location. I'll have Jarvis find the guy. I'll get the others," he told him. Finally! Some action around here!
His day got a whole lot interesting.

Once Tony got suited up and got the rest of the Avengers, he found Steve taking to a few local officers.
"Great, you guys are here! Where's Thor?"
"He got some duties back on Asgard," Clint Barton said. Known as the hero Hawkeye.
"So, what'd we got?" Tony said, clearly more interested than before.
"He's stole from a pharmacy, he got a small yellow rat, and what's surprises me the most is that he's a kid. 14, raven hair, tan skin. Don't know why a kid would wanna steal from a pharmacy," he told them.
"See which way he went?" Black Widow, AKA Natasha Rommanoff, asked.
"He went towards Central Park, so what I've heard." Just then, Bruce's skin turned a bright shade of green, and they knew what that meant.
Bruce grew 4 times as big and got bulkier. The Hulk is ready to fight! "Hulk SMASH little boy!" Hulk exclaimed.
"Hold it, Big Green. No one is smashing no one!" Clint said. Hulk let out an angry grunt as he couldn't smash anything in weeks.
"Alright, let's go," Steve confirmed.
"And SMASH KID!!!!!"
"NO SMASHING!!!!!" they said in unison.
-
They spent hours and hours looking. They were searching high and low for the kid that matched the Cap's description.
Literally.
Tony was looking in the air while the rest were on the land.
So far, nothing. Tony thought tonight would be better.
a
"Cap, you see anything?"
"Not yet," he replied from the street.
Natasha heard something from a tree. She slowly got closer and closer, trying to be careful not to spook whoever was there. She got her gun ready and aimed at it. She saw a figure by the tree, and crouched down. He kinda matched Steve's description. Raven hair, tanned skin. They got their guy.
"No, Pikachu! Get in your Pokéball. It's not safe. What happens when they find us?! They're gonna conduct experiments on you! So stop being stubborn and get in!"
"Hey! Come out, stop hiding! We know you stole drugs from the pharmacy." He looked up in shock. He didn't come out, he scooped up the mouse and ran into the forest.
"Guys, we got a runner! Tony, try to cut him off. We'll follow him."
"Roger that," he said.
"Come on, guys," said Clint.
After lots of running, they were able to catch up with the kid. They were able to corner him, which left the kid looking scared, terrified even.
"Kid, stop running. Just tell us what the mouse is and why you stole drugs from the pharmacy. We'll let you go with a warning as long as you give back what you stole and the crazy rat," Tony said with much authority.
"No!! Please, don't take him!" he begged.
"That's a dangerous animal! I'm not sure what he even is," Natasha explained. Maybe she could talk some sense into the kid.
"He's my best friend! He isn't dangerous, please take don't him away," he pleaded, his voice cracking and his eyes watering.
"Okay, enough Mr. Nice Avengers."
"Really, Tony? You know I'm the only woman here," Natasha complained.
"Well, what am I supposed to say? "Mr. Nice Avengers plus one female?""
"You can try to be inclusive."
"ENOUGH!!" Hulk scolded, "You give Hulk headache." Surprisingly, Hulk was being the sane one.
"Hulk smash boy and weird rat." I take it back. He is not sane.
"NO! Don't hurt Pikachu." He was backing away, holding the creature he called Pikachu tightly.
"Hulk, bud. No smashing!" Tony reasoned. His plea fell upon deaf ears as he was approaching the boy closer and closer.
He backed the boy into a tree. His breathing was hitched and becoming quicker and quicker.
He held out his hand and screamed," Just stay AWAY!" A blue orb of energy shot out out of his palm and hit Hulk, knocking him out cold. The Avengers looked at him in shock! Did he just create magic?
The boy looked at his shaking hand, terrified at what came out of him. Pikachu looked him in the eye, worried for the poor boy.
"I-I-I'm sorry, it was an accident! I didn't mean to hurt him!"
"Well, you did. We're going to have to take him to the tower. Run some tests on the weird thing and him. Whatever he did was not normal!" Tony exclaimed.
"Tony, calm down. He's a kid, he's afraid," Steve said.
"Yeah, but he just took out Hulk. Imagine what he could do to us!"
"I didn't mean to! I'm sorry," he apologised.
"Pika! Pikachu Pikapi kapi chu chu pi!" Pikachu said, backing him up.
"How did that rat talk?" Clint asked, very flabbergasted.
"Pikachu isn't a rat, he's a mouse Pokémon," he corrected.
"Well, whatever it is, it doesn't belong here. Neither do you," Natasha added.
"Please, I'll let you do whatever you need to do. But don't hurt Pikachu," he begged, tears streaming down his face, "Please."
BANG! A giant sound of thunder and lightning made all their heads turn to the source. There was a man with blonde long hair, wearing silver armour and a red cape with a giant hammer.
"Finally," Steve muttered.
"Sorry I'm late. You know how it is in Asgard," Thor apologized, "So where's our criminal?"
Tony pointed to the boy. Then Thor laughed like a witch as he saw it was just a mere child. With a strange creature.
"Seriously? Him?"
"Yeah, he got an electric mouse and took out Hulk."
"Him or the mouse?"
"Him!" He looked at the boy in wonder and anger.
"Well, let's just take him to the tower." He started to swing his hammer, Mjölner, at the boy and mouse.
The boy started to run as fast as he could, but he was limping which made Steve wonder why.
His thoughts were cut short as the hammer headed straight for the duo.
The boy knew he couldn't outrun the hammer, so he put his entire body over the mouse, preparing for the impact.
The hammer hit him right in the spine, making him scream in pain. He tumbled a little before both him and the mouse fell unconscious.
"Well, that was easy," Thor stated. Mjölner came back to him and Tony went to the boy. He was out cold alright. Must've hurt like Hell. He picked up the boy and mouse like they weighed nothing.
"I'm gonna take him back to base. You guys call a Helicarrier and tell Fury about this." They nodded and he took off.
Fury is not going to be happy about this.
