NOTES: So this is my first Hawkeye/Clint Barton and Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff fanfiction. I've kind of been obsessed with the pairing since The Avengers movie came out and now I am hunting down everything I can get on them haha. I hope you all enjoy! Please write lots of reviews:)
They had trusted one another for a very long time. Even when Black Widow was trying to steal from Tony Stark and used Hawkeye as her pawn, there was a connection between the two. She had betrayed him and was taken back with the KGB not long after, but that was all in the past, and now they were here at S.H.E.I.L.D., they were agents, they were partners, and they were Avengers.
While the other Avengers got to go back to where ever they called "home" after a mission ended, Natasha and Clint remained at S.H.E.I.L.D. headquarters. That was their home. They lived, ate, slept, and most importantly trained there.
The exercise room at the headquarters was large and it had all the toys any assassin could ever want. At the moment Natasha was practicing her punches and kicks on a sand bag and Clint was shooting moving targets that came up from the floor and swung down from the ceiling.
"Clint." He didn't even have to turn around to know it was her.
"Yeah Tash?" He released another arrow—perfect shot.
"Practice hand-to-hand."
Clint thought that was no question. Natasha Romanoff is ordering me to be her practice dummy.
"No." He responded just as coolly as she had asked.
There was silence. Anyone else would have thought she had given up, but Clint knew Natasha better than that. Even more, he knew the Black Widow.
