A/N: I'm still alive, don't worry! I also managed to see the midnight premier of the Avengers movie! *dies from happyness* It was so amazing! I have so many feels going on right now, it isn't even funny.


Clint barely has the car parked when Pietro, dufflebag in hand, slams the door open and jerks out. In seconds, the mutant is just as soaked as he was before he was picked up. The Avenger takes his time opening an umbrella up before going to join the mutant; who is already up on the front steps and waiting, almost awkwardly, by the front door.

"Worth getting soaked to get up here first?" Clint asks jokingly.

Pietro just scowls at him. "Will you hurry up and-open-the-damn-door? I'm freezing!"

It takes a moment for Clint to work out what Pietro said. He hadn't bothered sticking around Bayville long enough to learn how to decipher Quick-Speach without trying. When he does he snorts. "Stop running around in the rain and you won't be so cold."

A glare is his only answer this time. And, because it is more than a little cold with that November wind blowing, Clint relents and punches in the passcode to unlock the front door. After the electronic lock beeps, a light push and the heavy oak door swings open letting out a blast of heat.

No one is in the main entrance. Clint can't say he's all that surprised.
