okay but imagine IMAGINE a criminal organization like aim or hydra capturing the avengers and steve is brought before the commander idiot-in-charge and ofc this dude is prattling on about how the avengers are done for, how thor has been trapped in another realm and bruce banner is tranquilized and black widow and hawkeye are contained and he’s like “and your precious tony stark is working for us now, building a new age of weapons technology right in our labs”
and steve, who is tied to a chair btw, just starts CRACKING. UP. for a full minute. so much that tears are rolling down his cheeks and the chair and bonds are straining under his weight and movement and steve just can’t stop laughing and the commander dude yells “WHAT’S SO FUNNY” because steve has literally been laughing for 60 seconds and his minions are looking at him nervously
steve is like “you don’t know much about tony stark do you?” and goes into another fit of laughter.
another 60 seconds later, an explosion rocks the evil HQ building, shoot to thrill starts playing in the distance
