pretending that age of ultron literally never happened probably gets funnier if you just pretend that absolutely none of the events in it happened and try to fit the current MCU around it anyways. for example: the hulk just launched himself, unprompted, into spaceÂ
I want a fic where, for whatever reason, the Avengers are about to get into a Serious Car Chase, and thereâs one car they have to do their Daring Escape in. They all look at each other for a few seconds, trying to decide who will be the best driver- all except Tony. Heâs already pushing past them and getting in the driverâs seat, looking at them all and then glancing at his watch with a raised eyebrow.
Of course, everyone is all like âuhh wtf Tony like no offence but im pretty sure someone else would be more suitedâ, and Tony is just rolling his eyes whilst Natasha grins and hops into shotgun, because she was there in Monaco, she Knowsâ˘
.Â
And then the rest of them donât have time to argue bc the Big Bad Villains are on their way, so they can do nothing more than hop in the car whilst shooting Tony angry stares because they are convinced heâs just doing it thanks to his cockiness and ego.
And then, of course, he starts driving.
And Natasha swears to God, when he makes that 180 turn and gives Clint the perfect angle to shoot their pursuers, she can hear the collective intakes of breath from them all because son of a bitch Tony Stark can fucking drive. Like, seriously drive. He makes turns that should be physically impossible and cuts through the traffic like theyâre not even there. The poor bad guys donât even stand a chance.Â
Everyone is caught between trying to shoot at the enemy and staring at Tonyâs concentrating face like heâs just grown a second head. (Steve spends rather a lot of time with his eyes on Tonyâs hands as they slide over the wheel and curl around the edges, but thatâs another matter entirely.)
Once theyâre in the clear, Tony cuts the engine and spins them to an effortlessly executed stop, and then finally turns around to face them all, one single raised eyebrow being the only emotion on his face. âYou kids have fun?â He asks, as Natasha raises her hand for a high five.
As you can imagine, the team donât underestimate Tony again.
