Hey ya'll, this is the first of the one shots I've written for my stories, I hope you enjoy it. I've got some other ones coming out as well, some of them will be short, some of them will be long, some will be funny, or dark or romantic, or all over the place.

Sometimes I write a scene that won't fit in anywhere, but I love it so I've got to keep it. This is ones of those scenes. I keep seeing this word everywhere so I thought I'd use it here. I hope you like this!

Bruce was cooking dinner. Minnie wasn't the only Banner who had a secret cooking ability, though years of living on his own had given him plenty of time to learn. Kayla was sitting on the counter in the kitchen wearing one of the princess outfits Dallas had sent over. Just looking at the ridiculous outfit he couldn't help but think about the argument that had ensued when he had found out his wife had gone to New York. It wasn't that he was upset with her, it was just, he was concerned.

Concerned about how nonchalantly she told him about it after the fact, concerned that she didn't see the danger in her running off to New York where their main enemy, a man who would do anything to hurt him or his family a man who made him so angry he-

"Shit." he swore as the knife he was using to cut onions slipped and nicked his thumb. Kayla looked up with a gasp and he looked at her, a look of guilt crossing his face.

"Daddy!" she said astonished as he went to the sink and turned on the cold tap, running the cold water over his thumb. "You got a boo-boo." she said and he sighed, she hadn't been affected by his little swear word. She turned around and climbed off of the counter, stumbling slightly as she hit the ground. She ran off to the bathroom and he could hear her rummaging around for a moment, before she came back with a band aid. "Daddy." she tugged on his pants legs as he dried off his cut with a paper towel, before kneeling down. She put the band aid on his thumb and he smiled as he smoothed it down and then kissed the band aid. "All better." she said and he smiled before he kissed the top of her head.

"All better." he said before he picked her up and put her back on the counter. "Thank you Princess." he said and she grinned as he picked up the knife and even though there wasn't any blood on it he washed it before scooping the onions up in his hands and put them in a pan to sauté.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"Amanda's home." she said looking at the front window. He looked at the front window too and saw Amanda walking to the house hand in hand with Piotr, the young man she had become infatuated with from her school.

He watched as the two spoke for a moment, Piotr said something making Amanda smile as he reached out and held up a lock of her hair. She swatted his hand away making Bruce smile before Piotr put his hand on Amanda's shoulder, stroking her neck with his thumb. She looked up at him with a small smile before he leaned down and caught her lips with his. Bruce stood there for a moment staring as the two teenagers kissing before he looked at Kayla who was covering her eyes like the way she did when Bruce and Minnie would kiss in front of her. He rolled his eyes before he walked to the kitchen.

"Five... Four... Three... Two... One." he got to the doorway and was about to open the door when he heard someone walking up to the house.

"Greetings Amanda!" Thor's voice boomed out. "And greetings young man of metal! Is your father home Amanda?"

"Hey Thor, um, yeah, he's here." Amanda said as she opened the door. "Oh, hey. Wow. This is... Um..."

"Awwwkwaaard." Kayla called from the kitchen where she was standing on the counter.

"Tony taught her that." Amanda said when she saw the look on Bruce's face.

"What did I teach her?" Tony asked from where he and Pepper were walking up to the house. "Hey Buddy, we missed you." he said as he clapped Bruce on the shoulder and looked at Amanda's red face, Thor had gone into the house and Piotr looked pretty embarrassed himself. "Did I interrupt something? Please say yes, working in the lab has been so boring."

"Did I invite everyone over and forget about it?" Bruce asked as Hawkeye and Natasha walked over.

"Tony!" Pepper hit his arm and he rubbed it looking a little annoyed.

"What? He needs company." Tony shrugged and Pepper sighed before looking at Bruce who suddenly understood what was going on.

"I am so sorry Bruce, Tony said you invited everyone over." she sighed and he waved a hand.

"Don't worry about it Pepper, I was just starting dinner."

"We can go..."

"No, no, don't worry, go ahead." he said and Amanda started to slip into the house with Piotr, Bruce caught his shoulder and Piotr stopped, making Amanda look back guiltily as Piotr turned around and walked away.

"No." Bruce said to Amanda who looked at him with frustration.

"But I-"

"We'll talk later." he said and she sighed before walking into the house, he let everyone else in and Tony looked at Amanda.

"So what is it I'm the scapegoat for Kayla saying this time?" Tony asked and Amanda rolled her eyes.

"You taught her how to say 'Awkward' during awkward situations." she reminded him.

"Why did I get a note saying Assemble?" Steve asked as he walked into the house followed by Logan who looked a little amused at the note.

"Team party at Hulk's house." Tony said as he handed Logan a beer. "Kayla, tell them the word you say in an awkward situation when Uncle Clint is there." he said to the little girl who was watching her dad start to chop more onions.

"Uncle Clint?" she asked and thought for a moment. "Oh yeah- Hawkwaaard." she said with a wide grin while everyone started cracking up.
