A/N: Hey, well I'm trying my hand at my first cross-over, not sure how long it's going to be and sorry about mistakes and such. Please let me know what you think and if you want me to carry it on :)
I didn't know what I was doing there that day, why I'd chosen that day to go check out Clint's work place, why? Well shit happens.
"Vlady!" Clint's voice whined from the front door, I sighed and stepped out of the bathroom. The idiot had interrupted my shower, and repeatedly banged on the door to get me to hurry up. I wasn't even fucking late, I was early in fact.
I stalked down the stairs in the less extravagant vampire leathers I had, I needed to at least look formal, and I was not wearing a suit to some science place.
"What Clint?" I sighed tiredly, after dealing with birdbrain for a couple of days you really do get suicidal.
"We gotta go!" He whined again, stupid birdbrain.
"Look Clint, we have plenty of time." Clint went to interrupt "Right fine, if I don't get something to drink then you're gonna be on the menu." Clint gulped "Got it?" I talked in the way a parent would talk to a whiney 'I want I want' 5 year old.
I stalked off to the kitchen and a few moments later came back carrying a bottle filled with a red liquid.
"Come on then," I said, expecting what came next.
"Whoop yeah! Vents, I'm coming baby!" Stupid fucking birdbrain.
"No, we're not going in the vents, don't you remember what happened last time?" I asked incredulous, Clint could be so thick.
"Kay, fine but we go in my car. I am so not flying again; I was green for weeks."
"Well you shouldn't have hung your head out the side instead of tucking it in, birdbrain."
"Well you shouldn't have, freaked in the vents and brought them all down then, batbreath."
I growled, and my eyes started glowing...
"Fuck, let's get to the car Vlad." I smiled behind Clint's back; it was great when the archer shut up.
"Agent Barton," The security guy checked, well at least I thought he was a security guy "And this is?" He trailed off in a lazy assed tone which got on my nerves.
"He's with me, Fury wanted to meet him." Clint lied, as far as I knew Fury didn't know anything about me. I hoped anyway, that dude would either want me on the team or want to kill me, not that there were many chances of that happening.
"But-" The guy started, Clint gave him a look I had dubbed as a Hawkeye look, the guy shut it.
"Come on in." Clint said, I smiled, he remembered.
We both started walking down the corridor towards wherever it was Clint worked. I walked silently next to Clint, taking a sip every now and then from the ordinary looking bottle with the red stuff in it.
"Aren't you worried that they'll find out what that is?" Clint hissed, and I rolled my eyes.
"Chill it Barton, it's Soy-blood, dumbass. You know I don't drink the real stuff; they'd never be able to tell what this was anyway. To them this looks like any red drink you could get." I said quietly, really Clint had such little faith in me.
"Not to me."
"Well you're a retard anyway so, yeah." I finished defensively.
We continued walking quietly, it was getting a bit awkward.
"So, what am I doing?" I questioned.
"I could do with another pair of eyes on this one; you'll be up in the nest with me." Clint supplied.
"It'd better not be that kind of nest..."
"Quit it Vlad, you're almost as bad as Nat." He sighed and carried on "You have good eye sight, nearly as good as mine," I snorted "and even better night vision. So I could use you on my team, alright?"
"As long as I don't have to share the nest with you..." Hey, it was fun to wind Clint up.
"Vlad!" He hissed warningly, perhaps it would be wise for me to shut up; I didn't need SHEILD knowing who and what I was, if I could help it.
We walked into a lab type place, side by side, so this was where he worked. I noticed the blue glow coming from the far end of the room, I shrunk back hissing. I didn't like that thing, at all and I'm pretty sure Clint agreed. Judging by the way he'd angled himself away from it. I followed as Clint strutted over to a middle aged guy wearing a checked shirt and a pair of officey/formal looking trousers. Clint had a quiet chat with him before turning to me.
"Dr. Erik Selvig, meet Vlad Count." We'd decided to use Count so people wouldn't make a connection with Dracula (hopefully, and well old habits die hard) "Vlad, meet Erik Selvig."
I stepped forward and smiled at the Doctor holding out my hand to shake, he thankfully didn't seem to notice the cold of my skin, since he smiled and slowly let go of my hand.
"Nice to meet you Dr. Selvig."
"Please call me Erik, it's nice to meet you Mr Count. If I may ask what is it that you're doing here?" He really did seem like a nice guy, if a bit formal.
"Alright then Erik, only if you call me Vlad." He smiled and nodded "Well birdbrain here, asked me to be another pair of eyes for him, I have really good eyesight, better than his."
"No you don't!" Clint interjected.
"Yes I do."
"N-"
"Nah-uh!" I stopped him and Clint looked put out.
"Thank God someone can get him to shut up, no one around here can. Fury only can if he's seriously pissed off. Oh, Coulson can, though; every Agent in SHEILD is shit scared of him." Selvig really did seem relieved.
"Believe me; we're scared of him for a good reason. Even Nat's scared of him, when he gets like that." Clint shuddered and grimaced, I laughed as I watched the archer relive obviously painful memories. Note to self, don't piss off this Coulson guy.
"Right, anyway." Clint shook his head and brought himself out of it and then he stood up straight again. "See ya Doctor, we'll be heading to the nest now, keeping an eye out, call if you want anything." Clint said before sauntering off to a rope hanging from the ceiling.
"I hope it's not that kind of nest..." Selvig trailed off.
"Believe me, it'll be him hurt not me." Selvig looked surprised at my conviction for being able to hurt the Hawk "See you Eric." I said and walked off to the same rope and watched as Clint got off at his 'nest'. I sighed and started climbing, unaware of the scrutinizing gazes below, and some women gathered together and watching my backside in awe.
I climbed up easily it wasn't hard; being a vampire and all, super strength among other things. I couldn't really use the rest without it being noticed, but the strength wouldn't show. I got off at the same level as Clint and sighed, so this was his nest.
It had some cushions and even a blanket, as well as some pictures. There were a few of a redheaded woman I assumed was Natasha Romanoff and some of some people I had no clue who they were. There was another surprise though; birdbrain had managed to get a picture of me. Yes I know, no reflection blah blah blah, but digital cameras are capable of taking a picture of us. Though I wished they weren't, he'd taken one of me laughing with soy blood around my mouth, thanks Clint. I so wanted to see that.
"If you don't want to be in the nest then you don't get a cushion." I stared at him, I mean that was pathetic "Believe you me; your ass will get numb and cold without one."
"I'm so not going to curl up with you in your nest." I said and stalked over to the other side, as far away from Clint's nest as possible. Leaving an indifferent Clint, who sank down on his cushions and watched the place below him.
After a few hours my butt was seriously cold and numb even for a vampire. And watching the scientists hustle around below, with nothing happening except for a growing unease about whatever was causing the blue glow, didn't help. My ass was cold, I wanted a cushion. Time to beg Clint.
I crawled quietly over to the edge of Clint's nest and began to whine.
"Clint?"
"What?" was the terse reply I got.
"Clinty?"
"Yes?"
"Cwinty?" I said in a babyish way and put on the puppy dog eyes, he said that when Nat did it he folded, well I might as well try it.
"Yes Vlad?" He said looking over at me, big mistake. He froze and stared at me, before sighing and patting the cushion next to him. I grinned and sped over to sit on the cushion and latch on Clint's arm.
"Thanks, Clinty."
"Welcome," I smiled "Now shut it and concentrate." I frowned, he wasn't all that much fun at work, so I became serious and let go of his arm before leaning and watching again.
I watched as people bustled around and cursed the blue thing that was apparently behaving, and it shouldn't have been. Clint launched himself down the rope and stopped to talk to a badass looking black dude at the bottom; Clint talked to him then motioned for me to come down. I sighed and got up from my comfy position on the cushion and slid down the rope, jumping before I hit the floor.
"Director Fury, Vlad Count. He's been my extra pair of eyes today." Clint said determinedly, he was actually nervous, I could see it in the way his eyes flitted from place to place not staying in one place for longer than a second.
I watched as Fury looked me up and down, scrutinizing me. I didn't need to scrutinize him; I'd taken it in from the first glance and was debating the use of a little mind reading, when he opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted when the blue thing started a stream of blue energy that swirled towards the end of the room and a figure appeared.
I hissed and stood next to Clint and Fury as this continued and the figure became even more distinct. It was crouched and hunched over with materials billowing around it. The blue stream stopped.
It was a guy perhaps late twenties, or on the outside anyway, who knew how old he really was. He had black hair and red circles under blue eyes, what was wrong with him? He clutched a staff that glowed blue inside of it, Fury spoke. He said something about putting the spear down. Now that just pissed the guy off. He shouted and made some strange movements before a jet of blue energy came shooting at me, Clint and Fury. I growled and grabbed Clint and Fury and threw us out of the way just before it exploded on the equipment where we'd just been. Close call.
We stayed down, me watching as the crazed guy took out people left and right, with the spear, with the energy and with small dagger like things. He took out many, the soldiers with the spear and daggers and the unarmed scientists by blowing everything up. Clint watched as well and kept growling at me to let him go, needless to say I didn't.
Fury didn't even move, he stared at me, obviously wondering where I got my strength from. When the guy stopped to draw breath, I got up letting Clint leap up, draw his gun and knife and head for the man's throat while the director stood and glared. I followed Clint as he made for the guy's jugular, I grinned as I watched the blood pulse through the guy's neck. I licked my lips, I might not drink human blood but, one this guy wasn't human and two he's evil so there's an exception I'd say.
I growled as he disabled Clint and I charged only for him to slam his spear into Clint's chest before I got there and I watched as Clint struggled but was overcome by the blue. He immediately changed sides; he'd been possessed, great.
I looked back to make sure that Fury was behind me and hopefully out of harms way, I watched as the scientists that weren't dead huddled together and groaned. Checking again to make sure the director was behind me I ran.
I ran over to the guy and just as he'd finished possessing another guy I leapt into the air over broken and sparking machinery. I prepared myself to land on his back and get his neck from there. It didn't go according to plan.
The guy spun around and jabbed me with the spear right in the chest. I immediately dropped to the ground and fought the war going on inside my head. Blue swept over my vision and mind as it tried to take over, still I fought. I wasn't going to lose to the smurf.
As I fought, the guy and the director started talking and he possessed Eric, I barley noticed this as the blue raced through my veins, clouding my vision and numbing all senses. It was a boiling rush raging through my ice cold system. It hurt, it hurt like I'd eaten garlic (not that I'd ever tried it, but I can guess).
It took all my power to beat it, I had to call the flames that came with being the chosen one, but I managed to beat it back thoroughly and expel it from my system, flames won.
I growled and snarled as I stood, aware of both Loki (I heard the guy's name from Selvig) and the director staring at me. The blue drained from my eyes, then they went to their normal blue before going pitch black. I snarled and bared my fangs at him, the pearly white and lethal appendages glowing in the light of the room. Loki seemed to cower slightly in fear of me, I called my flames forward and they glowed in each hand as fury overwhelmed me. He'd taken my friend from me and another few good men, I wasn't happy.
I didn't even care that Fury was seeing all this, I couldn't care less, I wanted vengeance and I wanted my friend back. The one who didn't judge me for what I am, the one who cared, I wanted my Clint back.
I launched the two fireballs at Loki and watched in satisfaction as they hit their target. I laughed evily as I watched him dance and squeal trying to out the flames that had caught his clothes and some hair to. I hoped he got burned.
My fun was soon over as he managed to out them and then he sent the blue blast at me, I laughed manically as I flew through the air, landing perched on Clint's nest level. I saw Clint shoot Fury as they left and I pelted them with fireballs, though who knows if they hit their mark.
After they left I ran and grabbed the pictures from Clint's nest and jumped down from the level right next to Fury as he finished talking to another Agent and pulled the bullet from his chest. He looked up at me and seemed slightly wary. I smiled and grabbed his arm, hoisting him up easily.
"We need to get out of here, it's gonna blow." Fury hacked out.
"I know, hold on tight and don't look down." I said and waited for him to comply before flying out of the wretched place and up to the chopper Fury had waiting for him. We landed in the chopper and I hauled Fury to a seat before standing at the side ready to launch fire at that bastard if I needed to. No point in hiding my abilities now.
Thanks Guys :D
(This has been updated, along with the rest of the chapters it was really bugging me the way I'd written it, one of the reasons it took me so long to bring a new chapter sorry guys-23/1/14)
