Chapter 10

Caves and Cliff Faces

"Clint, you go top left rock balcony, you should have clear view from there." Rich pointed up at the rock squinting slightly as the sun beat down. "Yeah?" Rich encouraged.

"I dunno' Green. I won't be able to see the entrance from there and plus…" Clint mused.

"Alright Clint where would you say?" Rich huffed shifting, he was a little fed up of Clint's contradictions now, "Remember not too low or too high."

Clint wasn't listening though he was moving in a silent circle shuffling in the dirt scanning the vast landscape around the training ground, he stopped back to back with Rich, "There." He stated pointing at a rocky outcrop nearly 15 metres up and behind the entrance of the practise 'break in rooms'. "You sure, think about it, Clint! Your out in the open, completely and you probably won't be able to see the entrance." Rich smirked, rubbing his head. He heard George and Woody snicker from where they were sat checking weapons. Clint gave a deep sigh and turned back to Rich, "If you please sir, I'm not stupid, I know where I want to watch from."

"But, Clint…" Rich persisted.

"Look, I'm fine there." Clint growled getting irritated.

"No, Clint. Just listen…" Rich began to talk a little louder, his voice ringing with irritated anger, "What is so bad about the position I picked."

"There's a small cavern behind that large rock in the front and sat there I will just be able to see the door plus the two back exits!" Clint bellowed throwing his gun down; walking away, hands tugging at his hair and seething cruelly.

"Clint! Get back here." Rich shouted after him, " You can't just…" Rich was about to finish when his com crackled in to life and Walls voice sparked cheerily over the other end, "Ok, I got it working we can start now."

"Not quite Walls, Clint walked off." Phil muttered as George and Woody stood up.

"Ok, don't go after him, let him call off. I'll find him. Dan and Dr King advised me on how to handle him." Walls sounded slightly concerned an edge of serious authority in his voice.

"Ok, Walls, thanks. But, please we are leaving in two hours and we need a sniper." Walls com cracked of and Rich turned back to his team throwing his hands about with an aspirated sigh.

Clint walked with impossible speed, he gripped his bow tightly until his knuckles were white with tension. He knew exactly where he was headed, he'd seen the signs to the range. He sighed slightly as he entered the shaded valley of the shooting range. The heat was often unbearable. He quickly shot a few rounds not worrying with a quiver, the two soldiers already there stared with wonder at Clint's shot, "What are you looking at?" Clint seethed.

"Alright, mate. Calm it." One smirked. Clint seethed and quickly retrieving his arrows he stormed out of the range straight in to a scowling Agent Walls, "What are you doing, you have two hours. Then its down to you." He moaned.

"They are the problem not me!" Clint shouted.

"Come on mate. If you don't at least try to get along your all dead when you get out there." Clint blinked slowly, he knew it was true.

"Look… I'm sorry Rich." Clint was encouraged on by a watching Walls.

"It's ok, mate. Just please tell me if you have a spot before." Rich advised giving Clint a friendly slap on the back, "You're an amazing shot and we are lucky to have you."

"We just want you to stay alive as much as I want Woody and Rich to." George added.

"Yeah, mate." Woody chipped in.

"Now, I do trust you, you were right. That was a better spot and I'll listen to you more often. It's hard out here, I know. But, there's no time to train any more." Rich smiled.

"We do trust ya I know you won't shoot me, that's enough for me!" Woody chuckled, making Clint smirk, "Now jet's leaving in twenty mins, so get ya stuff and meet us by the jet."

"Clint quick now!" George laughed as Clint leapt on to the jet with the rest of the Falcons. They smiled warmly at him, "Got your bow?"

"Of course!" Clint scoffed and dropped his stuff, belting up as the jet hummed in to life.

"Right Clint, rules. There aren't many." Rich started leaning forward in his harness.

"Over coms use only code names. If Walls tells us to get out of there, do it. Otherwise ignore him," That earnt him a laugh, "If your going to com us when were are inside say our code names first, don't be surprised if we don't answer. If we tell you to shut it over coms don't take offence, but do shut it." Another laugh echoed around the jet, all considering the group was in a good room.

"I got a message from Dan this morning, I think I've decided on a good code name for you Clint." Rich smirked.

"So, I'm Oakley. And that's Brit." Laughed Woody lightly indicating to George.

"Oakley and Brit eh?" Clint smirked.

"Why not, and I'm Falcon. And I assume you know yours? Right The Amazing Hawkeye!" Rich laughed and to Clint horror pulled out a screwed up poster, that was scarily familiar, "God no!" Clint laughed, flushing red with embarrassment, "Hawkeye then."

"Of course, nice outfit by the way!" Laughed George and Clint flushed even more, "Purple's really your colour."

"Aww leave it you lot!" Rich punching Clint lightly on the shoulder.

End Of Chapter

I like this chapter, I hope it was worth the wait. Thought the Falcons are a nice little friendly group! Updates may be a bit less frequent because of school work and stuff!
