Please, whatever they offer you- Characters: Happy, Jessica, Open to other Avengers (Avengers Assembleeeee!) Setting: Central Park Content: Violence probably, cursing maybe, Avengers doin' Avengery things ('cause. We should.) Summary: "Iron Man" and Spider-Woman encounter the Avenger's most pathetic terrifying foe! Plant Man. (Really, though, Stilt Man probably still gets most pathetic award. That guy sucks. If you dig Plantman or Stilt Man sorry if I'm offending you here but seriously, these dudes. Seriously. Also, I am probably taking liberties with Plantman's abilities. Deal. :D)
Happy really liked Jessica Drew. He wasn't sure why exactly, but he kept grinning like an idiot and making a general fool of himself. He'd come to her apartment building with a car to take her to the tower because, well, that's what he did. He was the driver. He'd even introduced himself as such- "Hi, I'm Happy Hogan, I'm Tony Stark's driver-" but later, in the car, he'd turned to her with a boyish grin and added, "But I'm also Iron Man. Don't tell anyone." Why he'd done that, he didn't know. Well, he would've told her anyway since Cap knew he figured it was "team knowledge." But why he'd acted so stupid about it was beyond him.
Happy felt like he needed to impress her. All through the ride he'd been chattering non-stop about his job and the gym and how he'd only recently become Iron Man and all the while he kept glancing over like a kid hoping for a kind word or look of approval. He was doing just this, glancing over at her, as they drove down what he'd deemed a shortcut through Central Park. His distraction nearly caused a collision as he glanced at the road and had to suddenly slam on the breaks. The street had become a parking lot, a line of cars at a standstill ahead, blaring their horns. Traffic was nothing new, but this was more than a little strange. A few more moments proved that something strange was going on. Some commotion up ahead. When he noticed helicopters flying low Happy turned on the radio. "-terror as a plant-like man has taken a baseball team of children hostage-." Oh. Well. That explained it.
"This is bad," Happy muttered and pulled out his Avengers I.D. to summon the others. Without another glance at Jessica, he was out of the car and digging in the trunk. Outside the thick tinted windows the blaring of horns was cacophonous and in the distance he could hear screams. From the trunk Happy extracted a metal briefcase and began a frantic search for somewhere secluded. The best he could find was a park bathroom but, beggars can't be choosers, so Happy raced into a stall and burst out moments later in the suit. Well sure, someone could have noticed him go in but for the most part he figured everyone was pretty distracted and there was no reason to assume some proper alibi couldn't be fabricated if necessary. Tony Stark, Iron Man, arriving just in the nick of time. Right.
Iron Man's boot jets propelled him upwards and he zoomed alongside a news helicopter until they were above a baseball diamond. In the midst of it stood something that looked like some demonic greenery- humanoid in feature sprouting dozens of vines, each bearing a child at its end like fruit ready to drop from a tree. Happy landed with a thump just inside a ring of parents and press and police and began contemplating the best way to proceed without harming any of the kids.
