The Avengers decide to order Thai food one night. Natasha gets fried bananas for dessert.

Steve tries one and his eyes widen comically. “This is amazing. What is this?”

Natasha gives him a confused look. “Deep fried bananas?” She figured the food was pretty self-explanatory.

Steve double-takes. “What? This is not banana. This is delicious. I kind of want to cry, this is so good. Bananas are disgusting.”

"…never had ‘em fried before?"

"Does the frying get rid of the aftertaste?"

"What aftertaste?"

Steve squints suspiciously. “Maybe modern bananas are different. You guys genetically engineer food now, don’t you? Maybe they removed the grossness gene.”

Bruce lightbulbs. “Oh! The Gros Michel banana! They used to be popular until a plague wiped most of the plantations in the ’50s. They tasted different from the ones we have now.”

"They were wiped out."

"Yeah."

"…by a plague,” Steve says, awe filled, as if he really means to say, ‘by the righteous hand of God.’

"Uhm, yeah."

"So bananas actually taste good now."

"I … guess?"

"…huh. Bucky and Sam keep putting them on the grocery list, I figured they were just messing with me."

Steve shakes his head, bemused. The future is amazing.
