You were typing away on your computer when suddenly the screen went black. You blinked in surprise and even hit the thing to see if that would work. Your husband was the one who knew how to deal with technology, not you. Just when you were about to go call said husband, a video started playing. While watching the video, you couldn't help but get an eerie feeling and also think that your computer had just gotten hacked.
The video continued to play. It started out of just a brown table in a white room then the lights turned off and back on again to reveal a white cake with red strawberries on it resting on the table. The camera hovered over the cake and you saw some of the decorations it had. But one thing stood out above all else. Written in red was:
THE CAKE IS A LIE.
What the hell does that mean? You thought bewildered. Before you could call your husband so that he could see this, a sledge hammer fell on the cake, destroying it and that was the end of the video. Your computer went back to normal, almost as if nothing had happened. You checked to make sure that nothing had been stolen off your computer and everything was intact.
"(Name)....?" Tony called as he entered the room, holding his phone out in front of him. "Did you just....?"
"See the video? Yeah...." You trailed off, starting to get the feeling that you were being watched.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sure it's just some kid playing a prank."
"What does it mean though?" You whispered more to yourself than him but he heard you.
"The cake is a lie?" Tony said. "I don't know. Maybe that all of life's promises are fake?"
"Did you read that from somewhere?" You asked, surprised by Tony's choice of words.
"Can't say that I remember."
You shook your head and just went back to the computer.
~~~~~Time Skip~~~~
Steve walked into the room and found you sitting by the windows. You weren't doing particularly anything. You were just watching the birds go by and the people down below rush about doing their own things. He approached you with a smile and sat down next to you. You smiled back, your eyes going back to the windows.
"Hey Steven," You began, your eyes not meeting his. "What does the phrase, 'the cake is a lie' mean to you?"
"That's an odd phrase," He scrunched up his nose.
"But what does it mean?!" You suddenly burst out, grabbing him by the shirt of his collar. "I feel like I know what it means but I just can't figure it out!"
He gently pried your hands off of him and looked at you with worried eyes. "I don't know what it could mean but I could take a guess at it. Maybe it's like, you can't have your cake and eat it too. It just doesn't work that way."
"Perhaps, perhaps," You nodded, your thoughts drifting somewhere else.
~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~
"Bruuucceeee!" You whined as you entered the lab.
"Yes (Name)?" He sighed, not looking up from the microscope.
"What does, 'the cake is a lie' mean?" You asked innocently.
He blinked several times before saying, "I guess that the joys of eating cake are false."
"......And you're supposed to be some top notch scientist," You muttered, unsatisfied with his answer.
~~~~~~Two Days Later~~~~~
"Happy birthday to, (Name)! Happy birthday to (Name)~ Happy birthday to you~!" Everyone sang around you. You awkwardly played with the cup in your hands, never knowing what to do when this happened. You smiled back at everyone of course but having all the attention placed on you certainly did make you feel uncomfortable.
Just then, Tony came into the room with a birthday cake in his hands. Your smile faltered a little bit. You thought that you would find the words, 'The Cake is a Lie' written on top but instead it just said happy birthday and your name. The candles on the white cake were already lit and the strawberries on it looked absolutely delicious.
Then your smile dropped completely.
"Tony," You whispered to your loving husband. The serious expression on his face made him look at you concerned. "The cake is a lie. I get it now do you?"
He looked down at the cake and then said, "Hey everyone! Who wants to see a cake explode?"
Everyone looked at each other confused as hell but agreed anyways. Tony rushed towards the balcony and tossed the cake, quickly using the Iron Man's glove to blast it away. Once the beam hit the cake, it exploded into a million tiny pieces. They had ordered the cake to be made so little that you both knew that someone had planted a bomb in it. You played it off cool, making everyone believe that it were just some kind of trick.
Tony wrapped his arms around your waist in a comforting manner. "It looks like someone wants you dead," He sighed. He noticed how silent you were and lifted up your chin so that you could look into his eyes. "What's the matter, dollface? I know what happened was kinda scary but we'll figure everything out."
"It's not that," You sighed, tearing up. "I just really wanted that cake!"
~~~~~Extended Ending~~~~~~
Thor was in the kitchen, about to eat some cake that had been left over from your party. The second one that Tony had to buy was delicious and thankfully, Thor had saved himself another piece. He exited the kitchen to go get something to read while eating. When he walked back into the kitchen, the cake had been licked clean off it's plate and it was you who had licked it clean.
"(Name)! You ate my cake!" He said stunned.
"The cake was a lie?" You offered.
Thor's expression turned serious and he sat down in front of you, his chin resting in his hands. "....What does it mean?"

You walked through the tower, looking for a certain someone. You felt as though you were walking for hours before finding him in the training room. He instantly saw you in the doorway and smiled before stopping the punching bag from swinging.
"Hey Clint." you grinned as you approached the man you were head over heels in love with for the past three years.
"Hey (Name). What're you up to?" he asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just came to say hi." you answered, unable to make up an excuse.
"Uhh okay." he said before going back to the punching bag. You walked over to another punching bag to show off your skil

Avengers x Reader Ignore Tony Day
"This is so mean! Why would you want to do this, you sick people!" you yelled at your fellow Avengers (minus Tony). They stared back, unfazed.
"It'll be fun." Clint said simply. You sighed in defeat.
"Okay, I'll do it." Tony was, for some reason, not in the Tower that day. About five minutes ago, he called saying that he would be back soon. After that, Natasha and Clint got to scheming and things went crazy from there.
You all decided that when Tony got home, you all would act as if he didn't exist.
"Wow. That was easy. We hadn't even asked you yet." Natasha said. You shrugged.
"I'm easily swayed."

You were originally going to hang out with Natasha but she had to bail since Fury called her up about a mission on short notice.
