Clint Barton sighed from his spot next to Tony Stark. They were at Midtown Science High School, about to be in a huge assembly. Stark was ready and set. Clint was not. He was no good at crowds where he had to talk and be the attention of everyone. "I hate you." Clint muttered as they sat on the stage, waiting for the end of announcements.

"Like I care." Tony smiled back. He was smiling while Clint was keeping straight-faced, looking at the principal who was nervous. Clint could tell by the way she stood. Clint's eyes flickered to the kid who SHIELD thought was Spider-man and back again.

"You will if you want to live to see the next day." Tony's smile faltered for a second, and he looked over to Clint. Where Tony was leaning back at the edge of the seat, looking relaxed, Clint was sitting smack dab in the middle of the chair, arms crossed. Tony rolled his eyes at the comment. They were there to everyone else tell them the dangers of being an avenger but to the avengers, they were recruiting Spider-man.

"Lighten up, Legolas. This'll be fun."

! #$%^&*()_+

"The pain that comes with being an avenger is all to real. Both me and Katniss here can testify to that." Tony looked over to Hawkeye who was staring soulessly at him, the scars that covered his arms, hands and face on full display. "Sometimes, no not sometimes, often a mission will go bad and one of us might get kidnapped. This has happened to every avenger excluding Meat Swing. Red, Capsicle and I seem to be main targets, though. It's always amazing to watch how my superpowered friends heal. They can all practically heal in like, 2 seconds. Me? I take fooooorevvvver to heal. Jolly Green Giant can get hit with a freaking missile and be perfectly fine!"

Clint walked up to the podium and the crowd fell silent. Clint almost never talked during PR events like this, so not many people knew his voice. Time to intimidate people! YAY!

"Point is, don't be stupid. I started this when I was very young." Someone in the dead silent crowd asked How young? "I was 8 years old when I first picked up a bow. I was 16 when I first killed someone. It was by accident. Tony and I came here today not only to tell you the dangers of being an avenger, we came here with a very cool trip that will get you out of school for a whole day." A lot of people cheered. Clint, having never gone to school, didn't understand why these teenagers were so happy with that. "There are 2 students who have won this privilege. One of them is a girl, the other a boy. Iron ass? Want to do the honors?"

Tony stepped up, scowling at the nickname. "You know I hate that nickname Barton. The two smarticle particles are: Gwen Stacey and Peter Parker! Come on up! You only have to answer one question each!" The applause was thunderous. Once Peter and Gwen made their ways up to the stage, both flushed fire truck red, Tony walked over to them like he owned them, not caring or noticing about Clint. "First up, Gwen! Who is you're hero?"

"My dad. He was a police captain. He died protecting New York." Tony smiled at her, a fake smile he showed only to people like her. People that were not close to him but he wouldn't mind being even semi-close to.

"Aww, how sweet. Kinda mad that you didn't say Ironman, but oh well. Peter?" This was to see if Peter would say Spider-man.

"I don't really have one. Uh, sorry I guess."

Tony made a buzzer sound and started talking. "Wrong answer! I just kidding, you didn't have to answer that question. I wanted to know who you said for no reason. Everyone in here is sooooo excited over a trip to you-don't-know-where. Sorry I'm acting so hyper. Somebody put, like, a bag of sugar in my coffee this morning."

"I told you. Tasha did it. Revenge for screwing with her disguise." Clint growled. He definitely saw at least 2 teachers swoon and most students, including Peter and Gwen, shy away.

"Anyway. This trip is to come see how the avengers interact behind the masks and cameras! Congratulations! I'm sorry to say that this is the end of this assembly. Oh hey! Avengers assemble-y. Sorry, Peter? Gwen? If you could stay back for a while, we'll help you with arrangements and everything. I love you all!" Tony smirked when he saw Clint glare at him again.

! #$%^&*()_+

Peter was kinda sort of somewhat freaking out. He could get why the avengers would want him, not Gwen. When Clint or whatever talked, every word he said, made Peter's 'spidey senses' tingle.

"My mom will be worried that someone would like kidnap me or something. Is it gonna be ok if she wants to come along?" Gwen asked.

They were sitting in the principal's office where they were alone but not out of sight of the secretaries.

"We're not here for that, Gwen. Peter. Do you know anything about Spider-man? We need to know so he or she if it's a girl. I didn't mean 'it'. Anyway, when we find Spider-man, we're going to recruit him to be part of the avengers." Tony ranted. Peter saw Hawkeye smile in a way that said 'We have a bromance or something going on.'

"I'm Spider-man." Peter said, instantly regretting it if only because not even Aunt May knew.

AN: This is not Stony or whatever Clint/Tony is called. I'm all for people being gay or whatever but I don't know how to write that so I won't. I also don't ship Tony with Clint or Steve. I own nothing, please review, God bless all.
