Steve discovers Roll Rolling one night while working through the list of music recommendations Sam and Natasha had given him. \u00a0At first he thinks it\u2019s a random ad popping up in the middle of the music video. Then he reads the comments. Nearly every one involves swearing and the term \u2018Rick Roll\u2019d.\u2019 Google, as always, is unbelievably helpful and Steve laughs out loud to himself upon reading the Wiki page. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam is first.<\/p>\n

Steve: <\/strong>\u00a0Otis Redding is terrific – thanks for the recommendation. Found one you might like. Let me know what you think.<\/em><\/p>\n

He pastes the link into the text before hitting send. He smirks and waits.<\/p>\n

Sam: \u00a0<\/strong>Steve Rogers, you Rick Rollin\u2019 sonofabitch!\u00a0<\/em>Dammit, man. Who knew Captain America was such a troll?<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve\u2019s sharp bark of laughter echoes off the walls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong>\u00a0On your left<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam: <\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019re an asshole<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam: <\/strong>\u00a0Fifty bucks says you can\u2019t get everyone else<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0I won\u2019t feel bad taking your money, you know?<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam: \u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s why you\u2019re an asshole.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

IDEK you guise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Hey, Clint, thanks for the movie recommendations. Pretty in Pink was great. I liked this one too.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve carefully pastes the link in and presses send without a moment of regret. He tosses his phone on the counter and opens the fridge. Halfway through making a pile of sandwiches his phone vibrates on the counter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clint: <\/strong>WTF?<\/em><\/p>\n

Clint:<\/strong> U rick rolled me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Sorry, pal.<\/em><\/p>\n

Clint:<\/strong> UR an asshole. >:(\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve snorts and screencaps the texts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> one down.<\/em><\/p>\n

He attaches the picture and sends it to Sam, laughing to himself as he pulls a carton of milk from the fridge.\u00a0
<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam:<\/strong> Why am I friends with you?<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> My senior citizen\u2019s discount.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Natasha doesn\u2019t reply. Steve hasn\u2019t heard anything from her in three days, so he assumes she\u2019s off somewhere on the other side of the world kicking ass and taking names.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s walking back to his place one night with a couple of large pizzas, listening to the 60s mix Sam made for him when a little blur of red and black lunges at him from the shadows. His attacker sweeps his legs out from under him and knocks him to the ground. He\u2019s prepared to spring to the defense when he sees it\u2019s Natasha. Steve\u2019s laugh is cut short when she presses a pointed heel against his throat. \u201cDammit, Nat! You made me drop my pizzas. What the hell?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She presses her heel a fraction closer and breathing becomes difficult.<\/p>\n

Natasha eyes him coolly with her arms crossed against her chest. \u00a0\u201dI\u2019ve had motherfucking Rick Astley in my head for three days now, you little shithead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve snorts and immediately regrets it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natasha kicks him in the ribs before offering a hand to help him off the ground.<\/p>\n

“Share your pizza and let\u2019s figure out how you\u2019re going to get Stark."\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Natasha is having exactly\u00a0none\u00a0<\/em>of your shit, Steve.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite what Tony thinks, Thor has no trouble with Midgardian technology. Humor, yes, but technology no. Steve sends Thor an email, swipes his iPod off the desk and goes out for a run, listening to the 70s mix<\/a>\u00a0Sam made him.<\/p>\n

unknown number:<\/strong> I hate you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Excuse me, I think you have the wrong number.<\/em><\/p>\n

unknown number:<\/strong> I have the right number, Captain Rogers. Thor has not stopped singing all day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> I\u2019m sorry, Dr. Foster.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Foster:<\/strong> No, you\u2019re not. <\/em>\u30fd(\u0ca0_\u0ca0)\u30ce<\/p>\n

No, he really wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u2026.<\/p>\n

Steve finds an acoustic version, heavy on the sitar, of Rick Astley\u2019s notorious hit and asks JARVIS to play it the next time Bruce plays his tea time music.<\/p>\n

Two days later they learn that Hulk can\u2019t sing but he can hum. \u00a0Rather soulfully, he thinks as he sends a video clip to Sam.<\/p>\n

Sam:<\/strong> You fucker, Rogers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Five down. One to go.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam:<\/strong> Good luck with that one, asshole.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Better have my money ready, Wilson.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"image\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0(Thor enjoys Midgardian folk tales sung in chanted verse)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony is the hardest by far. Steve brings pizza and vodka with him when he visits Natasha, and Clint is there too as a happy accident. He bounces ideas off them and everything he can think of just isn\u2019t enough. They break for the night and he retires to his apartment.<\/p>\n

He almost considers giving in to Sam when Tony gives him the answer unknowingly.<\/p>\n

Steve is sitting on one of the stools in Tony\u2019s workshop, drawing the Suit (which Tony was\u00a0tickled<\/em> over), when DUM-E beeps and nudges his arm. Steve grins and takes the washer they\u2019d been using for \u2018fetch\u2019 while Tony mutters to himself and looks over the damage Steve\u2019s body armor had sustained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(\u201cIt\u2019s impossible!\u201d He\u2019d wailed, looking at the large gashes in the fabric.<\/p>\n

"Tell that to my stomach,” Steve had replied from the hospital bed where his skin slowly stitched itself back together under the bandages.)<\/p>\n

“Hey, Tony.” Steve lightly tosses the washer like an extra-small frisbee across the workshop. “Is DUM-E limited to just beeps?”<\/p>\n

“No, he has proper speakers, he just refuses to use them for anything else. He doesn\u2019t have the AI functionality of JARVIS. He\u2019s like a baby. A really old baby. Or the mute eldest brother.”<\/p>\n

Steve smiles brightly when DUM-E comes back with the washer.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really easy to get the song onto his iPod.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost easier to get the iPod hooked up to DUM-E and get him to push the \u2018play\u2019 button once Tony had settled in.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

The entire team watches through the (thankfully soundproof) glass wall as Tony shouts and chases DUM-E around his workshop.<\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> Did it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam:<\/strong> Pics or it didn\u2019t happen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve steps into the workshop and records the song playing as DUM-E zips around, Tony chasing him. It sends it to Sam who doesn\u2019t reply for ten minutes.<\/p>\n

Sam:<\/strong> I\u2019m paying you in beer. BECAUSE you can\u2019t get drunk. Asshole.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/strong> That\u2019s Captain Asshole to you.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
