"Am I allowed to-" Clint made a smooching gesture and Natasha shook her head, "No." Clint frowned, "Not even a-" Natasha cut him off "No." Clint sighed "What about-" This time Nat just put her hand up in the gesture of 'silence' "Barton, this is not friends with benefits here; this is a cohabitation which allows me to go about my business without worrying about unwanted advances."
Clint thought for a moment, "So…sex is off the table?" You had to give the guy some credit, he was persistent. Just as Natasha was about to punch Clint's lights out a voice sounded from outside the door, "Lady Spider, Bird Man Captain of the America would like to speak with us."
"And where exactly have you two been?" Steve said, snapping into his Cap voice, authority bubbling over in every word he spoke. Tony rolled his eyes; clearly he still had yet to warm up to the Captain.
"Gee Capscicle, where have they been? Maybe trying to add a new member to our little family." The way Tony said it set Clint's teeth on edge, it also increased his anger level at an alarming rate, and Natasha looked at Tony with one of her special 'Congratulations, you've just been added to the list' looks.
Tony smirked, "Ah, what was that? Looks like I hit a nerve, I assume I was correct then." Before Natasha could even blink, Clint wasn't beside her anymore, instead he was right in Tony's face, the two having a stare down. "You better shut your mouth Stark, before I shut it for you."
Tony was about to open his mouth, but that's when Steve came in-between the two, "Aw, look, you're boyfriends defending you now." Clint said mockingly at Tony, getting even for his earlier comment.
Steve huffed and pointed to opposite sides of the room, "Go, now. You two need to get yourselves together, my team will not act like this." Tony made a mocking 'aye aye cap.' As he sauntered off to a red chair in the corner, slumping down into it and lolling his head back. Did he have a hangover? After Clint took his seat, far away from Tony, Steve finally started the briefing, it was a bunch of bullshit about how they needed to learn how to work as a team or they would be no good in battle.
Yeah, 'cause learning how to associate with eachother would be sure to help them out on the battlefield. Clint preferred to keep a distance from everyone, in the words of Bruce Wayne he preferred to work alone, but he had no choice in this matter. Because Nick Fury was one scary person to have on one's bad side…you did not want him hunting you down.
"Dismissed." Steve said as he came to the close of his little speech. Clint pretty much sprinted to his room, they had been staying at Tony's place to get better acquainted with eachother, it was their first day and already Clint wanted to murder every last one of them…not Natasha though, no, never Natasha. No matter what other people thought, Clint would do anything to protect her, anything. After today, and their agreement, it had left him completely drained and he decided taking a nap wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Laying down, he let sleep overtake him.
