Chapter 10

"I am the mighty Thor!"
"Okay"
"My enemies shall cower in fear!"
"Keep dreaming kid"
"They shall run from the power of Asgard!"
"Ass-guard?!"
"Tony!"
"What? That's what he said Rogers!"
"No he said as-gard"
"Ah whatever we have a meeting so let's give him to Barton and Maeve".
"Okay good idea"
Tony and Steve walked Thor to the target room, where Clint was showing Maeve how to transfer her knife and gun skills to the bow and arrow. She picked it up quickly and had hit a few bullseyes, her latest one as the small child walked through the door.
"Hey boys, had any fun?" She asked, setting down the weapon and picking up Thor.
"You're my lucky charm", she said smiling.
"Unhand me Lady Maeve, it is not warrior like to be held by a fair maiden such as you!" The four year old squirmed in her arms and Maeve released him.
"Looks like you got an admirer, huh" Steve said grinning at her.
"Oh it's weird. 'Lady Maeve', I feel like I'm in medieval England or something".
"It suits you actually, you look like you could be a queen or something" he mumbled, blushing slightly and not looking at Maeve.
"You flatter me, Sir Steve" Maeve smiled in return, mock curtsying in his direction. Steve caught on quickly and bowed at her before laughing and turning to go.
"You two can handle him for a few hours right? Stark and I have a meeting with Fury."
"Sounds boring. Have fun" Clint shouted while he held the bow out of Thor's reach.
"Hey, little man, want to go on an adventure?" Clint said to the child.
"I am Thor, mighty warrior of Asgard and I am always ready for adventure!" Came the delighted squeal.
"Barton no way are you- you are. Oh my god you actually are..." Maeve yelped as Clint began unscrewing a ventilation panel.
"Yep, and you're coming with us. Now I'll get in, you pass up Thir and I'll pull you up. Ready?" The archer swing himself into the hole and Maeve lifted Thor after him. Then, she scrambled up to their vantage point with Clint's helping hand.
"Right. Now then, where do we want to go little man?"
"The roof! Then the kitchen. Warrior Thor is hungry!"
The two adults laughed, then Clint began to lead them up towards the roof vents.

30 minutes of crawling and lifting later, Barton, Thor and Maeve stood on the roof watching the hustle and bustle of New York.
"It's amazing..." Maeve said dreamily.
"Yep, but the air is horrid up here sometimes so let's get back to the kitchen."
"Agreed. I'm starving!"
That's when they realised Thor had disappeared, the ventilation hatch to their left stood open and they could hear his scuffles fading away.
Maeve and Clint looked at each other as if to say 'oh crap', then each sprinted towards the hole.
"I'll take the inside, you take the vents" Maeve yelled as she ran back towards the stairs.
"JARVIS! Where is Thor?!" She nearly screamed as she threw herself down the flights of stairs.
"I believe he is in the accommodation floor vents" came the reply.
"Barton, he's in the accommodation floor vents. Can you get there?"
"No I'm near the kitchen. You're closer. God Steve's gonna kill us."
"Not if we find that damn four year old first. I am not getting lectured by Capsicle."
"As if he'd lecture you, the guy's crazy about you". Clint's statement startled Maeve and she stuttered over the radio.
"W-what? Really?"
The archer laughed and started yelling at her about was she blind or just stupid, then said yes.
"Well, we need to find Thor. JARVIS, where is he?"
"Still near Miss Romanoff's room. I believe he has fallen asleep."
Good. Maeve thought. I can put him to bed then watch a film or something.

10 minutes later Thor was tucked up in bed and his door locked so he couldn't escape and go 'adventuring' again.
"I'm going watching a film. You coming?" Clint said, and Maeve agreed. After that stressful episode, she needed it!
"What film, Katniss?"
"Lord of the rings. You seen them?"
"Actually yes. I love the books too"
"Well, we're watching the last one since it's the best".
The two friends say on the couch, Maeve curled up like a cat at one end, Clint starfishing at the other. The film was good, but halfway through Maeve got bored since she had seen it so many times. Clint was fidgeting do she threw a pillow at him.
"Keep still you weirdo! It was your idea to watch a film" she laughed at him.
"Oh yeah? Bring it on newbie. No one beats me at pillow fights."
Maeve didn't reply, but threw another cushion and ducked behind the table that sat to one side. Soon she was being pelted by various cushions, which piled around her until she nearly vanished.
"Why do you have so many cushions?!" She laughed as she saw Clint's head pop out from behind the sofa.
"Well you never know when you might-" he was cut off by two pillows, one in his face, one in his stomach.
"Head shot! Oh yeah!" Maeve screamed then ran round to attack Clint close range, who also picked up cushions and began to swat at Maeve. They hit each other over the head a few times, then two of the cushions burst upon impact, showering them both in white feathers. They broke down in fits of laughter, each collapsing into his or her own pile of pillows.
"I think I won" Maeve said, voice muffled by the mountain of cushions she sat atop. That kicked everything off again, shrieks and laughter ringing through the halls, until Steve and Tony walked in the door. And got hit in the face by pillows flying everywhere.
"Bring it on, Katniss!" Maeve was yelling, while Clint preferred to shout
"Going down, Kiddo!"
Then they realised that there were two people in the door. Both looking annoyed with the pillows everywhere, and the breathless, supposedly professional adults running round the room smacking each other with cushions.
"Ohhhhhhhh. Hi guys!" Clint said brightly.
"Good to see you back!" Maeve waved near the wall vent. Tony just growled.
"Not good. Maeve get in the vent!" Clint yelled and boosted her up, following as Steve tied to grab his ankles. He got one, but Maeve dragged the archer to safety inside.
"Let's go" Clint laughed and they crawled off towards the kitchen, then stopped.
"Lady Maeve! Sir Clint! Your adventure trick even works in my room!" A voice squeaked.
"Oh no..." Maeve and Clint gasped as none other than Thor crawled around the corner.
