Dark Side

by shadowsontherun

No one knows darkness better then Natasha Romanoff. She never thought anyone would ever notice that she was drowning in her past until she met Agent Barton. He was trying to understand her - she just needed to let him in. "You can't fix me Barton," she said quietly. "How do you know if no one has ever tried?" he shot back.

11. Chapter 11

Chapter 11

"So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am,"

"Okay is everyone ready?" Clint called out from behind the camera. Every single agent SHIELD has employed in the last 10 years was crowded onto the SHIELD training grounds for one massive picture of the decade.

"Just set the damn thing and get in this picture Barton! I don't pay you all to sit around and be some damn models!" Fury shouted giving Clint the stink eye. Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Yeah, yeah old man I'm coming," Clint muttered under his breath as he started the timer.

"I heard that," Fury said dangerously. Clint paled and quickly took his place beside Natasha who was awkwardly standing in the middle of the large group surrounded by agents she didn't know. Clint promptly threw his arm over her shoulder and laughed at her bewildered expression.

"It's called a group photo Tasha - you have to smile!" he said shaking his head at her stony expression.

"This is stupid," she mumbled under her breath.

"No dear partner...this is politics," Clint said as he looked back at all the little fights that were starting to break out across the massive group of people who for the most part did not get along. Suddenly a black object flew through the air and landed right in front Coulson himself.

Everyone groaned as a distinct smell filled the air.

"Alright whoever dropped that stink bomb is going to get a hell of a lot of paperwork! Mark my words!" Coulson shouted angrily. He didn't sound that threatening while holding his nose. It was next to impossible to stifle their laughter.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP AND SMILE DAMN IT!" Agent Hill shouted as the camera started beeping its last 3 second.

FLASH!

The picture came out as one of the most hilarious moments no one would ever be able to live down. Agent Hill was threatening a junior agent within an inch of their life, Fury was glaring at the camera and Natasha just warily watched the chaos unfold. The only person who was even smiling was Clint - and he wasn't even smiling at the camera.

A/N: Hahaha! Group photos are always hilarious :)
