I don't know where this idea even came from. It just popped into my head one day. I hope you enjoy this one! I would like to see some more suggestions!
Once Melody had moved to New York and begun her training with SHIELD, she had become a target. To everyone. Everyone knew who she was now. A SHIELD legacy. And everyone wanted a chance at the pretty blonde girl with a fierce bite and expert dagger skills.
And there was one person up for protecting her at all costs. And that one person was Clint Barton. He had made nests all around the city, knowing places she would go, mapping out her daily routine in no time, always having his eye on her. And she had no idea how many times Clint had to save her without knowing.
Today was seeming like a calm day. Melody had the rare day off, and she was just sitting there, pounding away on the keys of her laptop. Sure, Clint had expert eyes, but he could never see what she was always typing. That was one mystery that had plagued him every day as he watched her.
He heard someone land behind him on the roof of the building, causing him to roll his eyes. This kid just wouldn't quit. "What do you want, Parker?"
"How did you know it was me?" The teenager in the red and blue spider costume asked.
"Because I know the sound of you landing on this roof by now."
Peter sat down next to Clint, but Clint just kept looking down at Melody. And trust me, it wasn't easy finding a building taller than Stark Towers so close to it. "So, how's Mel watch?"
Clint wouldn't admit it, but he enjoyed Spiderman's company. And Peter loved listening to Clint's battle stories, hoping to one day join SHIELD. "Unusual."
Peter's eyebrows furrowed, even if you couldn't see it behind his mask. "No attackers today?"
"Not a single one." Clint whispered, his voice covered in confusion.
"Well," Peter began while shifting, having no idea what he was getting at. "Maybe the word's getting around that you're her guardian thing."
Clint rolled his eyes and finally looked to him. "First off, shadow agent. Second, you are so not SHIELD ready."
"What?" Spiderman laughed out. "You see something different?"
"Very different." Peter waited, wondering what there was to see in something that seemed so simple. "I see a brewing attack."
"From who?"
Clint chuckled to himself, wondering the same thing. "Who knows? That girl has made so many enemies. Some she doesn't even know about."
The teenager rolled his eyes, wondering what Melody Barnes even saw in this guy. "Okay, who would be the most revengeful?"
Clint shook his head. "The most revengeful are either dead or in prison."
"But what if they got someone to do the work they couldn't?"
Clint turned his head to the side, seeing a point. Maybe this kid did have a shot at being a SHIELD agent. "That's actually not a bad idea." They both jumped, turning around to see a man with a ski mask on his face. "But Hammer thought of it first."
"Spidy," Clint began without opening his mouth.
"Yeah?"
"This is your audition for SHIELD."
"What?!" He asked in a panicked tone right when Clint rolled around on the roof to get cover.
Hammer's guy began sending out bullets, causing Peter to do some expert flips in attempt to get away from them. "You know," Peter yelled out from his place of cover to Clint's. "I don't think this is a fair audition."
Clint got up from his spot, quickly shooting off an explosive arrow before going back down. "Just shut up and do your web stuff."
Spiderman shot up, throwing out his wrists, grabbing the gun from the man's hands and throwing it to the floor. He only pulled out another gun and began shooting again.
They all staggered to get back down, taking deep breaths from the shelter they got. "This is a stupid plan." Peter commented.
"Yeah," Clint panted out. "Tell me about it."
"We need a real plan." Peter urged. "Not just some BS you got from out of your ass."
Clint looked to him, annoyed more than ever with this kid. "Aren't you like twelve?"
"Seventeen!" He screamed out angrily.
Clint rolled his eyes and looked back to him. "Alright, let's make a plan."
They quickly combined their best assets and came up with the best plan they could in this situation. "Are you ladies done?" The assassin taunted.
Clint looked to Peter with a nod. "You ready?" All he did was nod, Clint noticing for the first time that this kid undoubtedly had a SHIELD future ahead of him. "Let's do this."
The two hurried from their hiding spots, dodging the immediate bullets and giving everything they had. Clint going first. He shot off as many arrows as possible, not aiming to injure, but to throw him off.
Right when Clint was done, Peter shot off as many spider webs as possible, getting the assassin stuck all together. Right when he was no longer able to move, Clint moved forward, kicking the assassin right in the chest, sending him down for the count.
The two stood over him with smiles on their face in a superhero stance. "Mr. Spiderman," Clint spoke in an over exaggerated voice. "Would you like to do the honors of escorting our opponent to jail?" The man looked back and forth at the two with an upset face that he had actually gotten captured. "Word to the wise," Clint spoke, moving closer to him. "Don't use Hammer Tech next time."
"I would gladly take our opponent to jail, Hawkeye!" Peter moved, throwing the dazed assassin, about to get ready to leave when he stopped himself. "Hey," Clint looked up at him, ready to hear what he had to say. The boy just helped him protect the love of his life with no questions asked. He was in his debt. "We make a pretty good team."
Clint chuckled while shaking his head. "I wouldn't go that far."
Spiderman simply smiled while rolling his eyes before flipping off the building to take the man to jail. Clint rolled his eyes at the boy, only further proved by that fight they shared that the kid would be the best damn SHIELD agent around.
Clint's phone began to buzz, and when he pulled it out, he saw that it was Nick Fury calling. He stretched out his neck a little, getting himself ready to answer a call from his boss after a fight. "Yes, sir?"
"Barton, I've got a mission for you."
Clint cocked his head to the side. "I thought I was on the mission on protecting Melody?"
He sighed. "This mission is slightly more important than that one. You'll still have time for both."
"What is it?"
"Protecting the Tesseract." Clint stopped his light pacing on the roof just at the sound of the thing. He couldn't believe he was offering something this important to him. "We'll talk about this tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir."
Clint hung up, blinking a few times at the interesting day he just had. The only thing he wanted to make sure of before leaving was Melody's safety. He turned back to where he had last seen her in Stark Towers. This time, Melody was looking right up at him, holding the curtains back with a tight nightgown on. Clint was shocked, but she just had a sly smile on her face with her eyebrows up like she had known what he was doing the whole time. Did she know what he was doing the whole time? Clint was flabbergasted, the only thing he could do was give her a slight wave. Her smile only grew as she waved back and slowly closed the curtains.
I hope you guys liked it! Right when you think of a suggestion, review it or message it to me! Please review!
