When Mary woke up, she was not on the plane. She was in her hotel room. She was quite shocked to see that all of her stuff had been put away. She got dressed into some blue jeans and a yellow long-sleeve shirt, which she had received from Clint mysteriously in the mail one day. As she exited the room, she smelled pancakes cooking and coffee brewing. "It smells great in here! How do you know how too cook?" Mary said as she put a piece of pancake in her mouth. "Well after being on so many solo missions, I trained myself on how to make homemade food. And I thought that I would treat you too a delicious meal before we go site seeing." Clint said pouring coffee into his cup. Mary finished her food, and then her brother, Tony, called on face time. "Hi Brother!" She said as she put away her dishes. "Mary, could you go see how Aunt Rachel is doing? She is out their this weekend and thought that she would like to see you!" Tony said. Mary nodded her head in reply and then said, "Well Brother, I have to go! I will call you tonight." She hung up on him and then sat down on the bar stool. "So where would you like to go today?" Clint said standing up and putting his plate away. Mary sat their thinking and said, "Why don't we do that later. Can we stay here and just relax? I am still pretty tired from the flight yesterday." Clint nodded and then put his hands around her waist and stared into her sparkling violet eyes. Clint smiled. "Why are you smiling?" Mary asked curiously. "You are just so beautiful and I would love to kiss you!" Clint said caressing her cheek. Mary leaned her cheek into his hand and said, "Well why don't you?" Clint then kissed her and Mary then pulled out of his grasp and sat down to read her book. Clint sat next to her and opened up the jewelry catalog to look at "rings for his Great Aunt Catherine." (He was really looking at engagement rings so he could propose to Mary). "Do you think you could help me find a ring that would be suitable to give to my Great Aunt Catherine?" Mary then looked at it and sighed. "Well I think if I were her, I would like the 5 carat solitaire ring, but has a white color not a yellow." Mary said as she went back to reading her book. Clint looked at her and smiled, knowing that she had fallen for the trick. He chuckled to himself, and then went back to looking at the rings. He thought to himself, "If she says yes I will be the luckiest man in the whole world to have her as my wife." But he did not know what would be coming next.

That evening, Nick Fury was in town to have a meeting with the S.H.E.I.L.D Board of Communications. He called Clint and asked if he would be willing to meet him at the Rigor Restaurant. Of course, Clint could not turn down the opportunity to meet with his "Boss." He accepted and told Mary, twenty minutes before he was to leave, that He had some official business to attend too and would be back in a couple hours. The limo driver, Chuck, drove him to the restaurant. Clint entered and saw Fury, sitting by himself at a reasonably large table. Clint walked over to the Hostess and told her that He was with Nick Fury, and she walked him to the table. "Hello Fury." Clint said as he shook his hand. "It is great that you are here." Nick said sitting back down again. Clint looked shocked. Nick Fury was happy that Clint was here? Clint knew that he was only here because, either he had to go on another mission in a few weeks or, he had something he needed to do directly by Fury's command. Nick Fury moved uneasily in his seat, and cleared his throat and said, "I have some work for you." Clint replied, "Great! What work?" Nick Fury sighed and said, "I want you too marry Tony's sister." Clint almost yelled, "WHAT!" Fury put his fork down and said, "I want her to take over my position when I "retire." The thing is I will not actually retire officially, but I want some vacation time. And I want to leave this company in good hands. And Mary would be a great person to fill that position. I want you too lead her in believing that she is right for that position." Clint still looked shocked at him. "Clint, she trust's you... Will you do this for me?" Clint sat their silent and wished that he had not accepted the offer to see him. He thought about the offer and then said. "Yes. I accept your offer. But I was still planning on marrying her either way. But I have one condition. I want you too not tell anyone that we had this conversation and especially Mary. I still want her to trust me, even after she accepts the position." Clint said putting his coat on. "I agree. Now stay have a cup of coffee and some pie. Its one me." Nick Fury said signaling the waiter. "Ok I will stay and have some dessert." Clint sat down. He brushed away the feeling that he had made a very bad decision.
