How the Iron Man met the Bird Boy.

10:42am Gym Class, Gymnasium

"Stark, pair with Barton!" Fury yelled and Clint looked at his Gym partner (for now, he didn't know if they were permanent). It was the dark-haired boy who had walked into class late, the one who walked into Form late too. He had just waved it off with a smile.

"Hi, I'm Tony," Tony grinned.

"I'm Clint." Clint replied.

"Bird Boy."

"What?"

"I am Clint Barton and I am a bird." Tony mimicked him. Clint shifted awkwardly.

"Yeah that was to impress a girl."

"Who? Maria's off limits, she's Ken Doll's over there." Tony pointed to Steve who was partnered with Bruce. "And Bruce says he doesn't give a shit which girl he gets because science is sexier." Clint laughed.

"Oh much sexier than who I fancy." Clint said.

"Who is it? Don't tell me. Uh, Jane?"

"Who?"

"The brunette over there with Maria and the other girl. What's her name? Poppy."

"Pepper." Clint corrected him. "And no."

"Didn't I say Pepper? Meh, who cares? It's not like she's going to be important to me, really. I'm after her." Tony pointed at a tall blonde in a black skin-tight top and red sports shorts.

"Uh, what's her name?" Clint wasn't great with Guy Talk.

"Kat. She's got fire skills or something. She's certainly hot as fire. Anyway, who you fancy?"

"It's Natasha." Clint muttered.

"Natasha? Oh my God! She's like a super moody and reclusive Russian trained-to-be-assasin with violent tendencies." Tony said with a frown. "Why her?"

"Because I fear oblivion?" Clint smirked.

"Shut up, that was to show the girls that I'm sensitive and I read romance books."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Clint grinned. Then he grabbed a bow and arrow and aimed at a point above Natasha's head. Very close to Natasha's head.

"Um, I don't think killing your crush would be good on your SHIELD record or your love life." Tony told him.

"I know what I'm doing. I'm great at this shit."

"Killing girls?"

"Shooting arrows and seducing girls." Clint let the arrow fly and it shot across the room with a buzzing sound. It caught in the handle of the plastic sword Natasha had held above her head and pinned it to the wall. She stared at him. Everyone stared at him.

He gave a cocky grin and bowed, Katniss from Hunger Games style. He had a feeling that she would prefer those books and films to The Fault in our Stars.

"Thank you for your consideration." he added if no-one got the reference already. Natasha let a smile loose then scowled.

"You absolute idiot!" she yelled. "You could have killed me!"

"I'm a master archer with a killer aim. If I wanted to, you'd be dead already."

"Was that a death threat?" Fury snarled suddenly.

"What? No. Why would I want to kill Nat?"

"Natasha! And it's Romanoff to you." Natasha snapped.

Clint turned away and everyone started training again. Tony smirked at him.

"Real smooth."

"Shut up."

"Bird brain."

Uhm yeah that happened. I compared Clint Barton (hot and a master archer) to Katniss Everdeen (also hot and master archer)
