Ethan Stark, the son of the legendary Tony Stark, stood under the warm water, relishing the solitude of the shower. The sound of rushing water drowned out the rest of the world, and he found himself humming his favorite tunes. Feeling a surge of confidence, he began belting out his favorite song at the top of his lungs, not worrying about anyone overhearing his less-than-stellar singing skills.

Unbeknownst to Ethan, the Avengers had all gone out on a mission, leaving him with full reign over the compound. It was a rare moment of freedom for him, and he took full advantage of it. The normally bustling and lively building was eerily silent, with only the sound of his own voice reverberating off the bathroom walls.

After several minutes of indulging in his personal concert, Ethan finally turned off the water and reached for the towel on the bathroom counter. However, his excitement quickly faded as he realized there was no towel in sight. A frustrated groan escaped his lips as he mentally chastised himself for forgetting to grab one earlier.

Shaking his head in disbelief, Ethan quickly scanned the bathroom in a desperate attempt to find something, anything, to cover himself with. But alas, there were no towels, robes, or spare clothes anywhere in sight. He cursed himself again for his forgetfulness, feeling the panic rise within him.

Knowing he had no other choice, Ethan took a deep breath and slowly opened the bathroom door, hoping that the Avengers were still out on their mission. To his dismay, he heard laughter and chatter coming from the living room, indicating that they had returned earlier than expected. He cursed himself yet again for his terrible luck.

With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, Ethan cautiously stepped out of the bathroom, tiptoeing as if his life depended on it. He knew that his dignity and modesty hung in the balance, and he was determined not to be caught in his current state of undress.

As he crept silently through the corridors of the compound, Ethan felt a wave of relief wash over him. He thought he had managed to successfully evade the prying eyes of his super-powered housemates. However, fate had different plans for him.

Just as he reached the safety of his room, thinking he had outsmarted everyone, he heard a soft voice calling out his name. "Ethan?"

His heart skipped a beat as he turned around to see Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, standing before him. She had a mischievous grin on her face, clearly amused by the situation. Ethan's face turned bright red as he tried to cover himself with his hands, suddenly feeling more exposed than ever.

"Wanda, oh my god, please don't look! I... I didn't think anyone would be here," he stammered, his embarrassment evident in his voice.

Wanda couldn't help but chuckle at his flustered state. "Relax, Ethan. It's not like I haven't seen a naked man before."

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, what? You have?"

Wanda shrugged, trying to stifle her laughter. "Well, I am an Avenger, you know. I've seen my fair share of battles and... accidental encounters. But I must say, you've got quite the surprise there," she said, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

Ethan's face turned an even brighter shade of red as he realized what she was referring to. "Oh god, Wanda! Can we not talk about this? I'm mortified enough as it is."

Wanda's laughter subsided, and she reached out to gently pat his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Ethan. I didn't mean to embarrass you further. Let's just chalk this up to an unfortunate and hilarious incident, shall we?"

Ethan sighed in relief, grateful for Wanda's understanding. "Yeah, let's definitely do that. And maybe, just maybe, we can pretend this never happened?"

Wanda nodded, a playful glint in her eyes. "Deal. But only if you promise not to forget your towel next time."

Ethan chuckled, a bit of his embarrassment starting to fade away. "I promise, Wanda. From now on, I'll always double-check before getting into the shower."

They shared a good-natured laugh before heading their separate ways. Ethan made sure to grab a towel and some clothes before retreating back into the safety of his room. As he reflected on the chaotic and mortifying series of events, he couldn't help but be grateful for the unexpected bond he shared with Wanda.
