"We should do a prank war?" Clint announces suddenly causing Natasha to look up from her book with a raised brow.

"We're not doing a prank war," Nat replies casually before turning back to her book.

"Come on Nat. Sam and Bucky are doing one. We should do one," Clint all but begs with a earnest look at his best friend.

"Sam and Bucky are doing one because they hate each other," Nat replies without looking up from her book. "We are not starting something that will very easily get carried away."

"Nat, it will not…" Clint begins to argue but is cut off by a look from Nat.

"Clint. No," Nat scolds earning a pout and a scowl from the archer before he sulks out of the room. Natasha rolls her eyes knowing in a few hours Clint will try to start a prank war with her anyways.

Clint smirks as he hoists himself up into the vent gently sliding the squirt gun forward and out of his way. Nat said no to the prank war but Clint knows if he starts one she'll join just for the sake of getting revenge. Clint makes his way through the vents to where he knows Natasha is lounging on the couch still reading her book. All he has to do is get to the vent cover and silently pull it out with the help of Jarvis causing a distracting. Then, he'll have his opening to soak the ex-assassin. Clint's smirk fades as he hears an all too familiar sound below him and he stills.

"Shit," Clint grumbles before everything erupts around him.

Bucky is walking down the hall as he makes his way to the common room. Nat was there and he needed her help with a problem his was having. Hearing a slight rustling above him Bucky stops and glances up at the vent. His eyes narrow and smirks believing Sam has sent Red Wing into the vents to try to get the drop on Bucky. Not today, Bucky thinks and pulls out his gun and aiming it above him. Bucky shoots into the vents a few times impressed with himself. Screams shout from above him and the smirk instantly falls from Bucky's face as he immediately stops. Shit, Bucky thinks not realizing there is an actually person in the vent. Thumping sounds through the vent until the vent cover a few feet in front of him crashes to the floor and Clint's head pokes out of the hole.

"Seriously Barnes!? You almost put a few new holes in me!" Clint shouts at the man and Bucky sends him a sheepish look.

"Sorry pal. Thought you were Red Wing. What are you doing sneaking around in the vents?" Bucks asks with a raise of his brows.

"I was trying to get Nat," Clint replies with a sigh before a smirk appears on his face. "But you'll work."

Instantly, a water gun appears and Clint immediately begins to soak Bucky who angrily shouts at the archer in Russian.

"Clint!" Bucky shouts only to see the archer disappear and hurriedly scurries through the vent in retreat.

"Fine. You want in on the war. You're in," Bucky mutters before returning back the way he came.

Nat's eyes dart up when she hears gunshots and she sits up, ready to jump into a fight if the need arises. Muffled screams are heard from out in the hall and Nat smirks, knowing full well Clint had indeed tried to start a prank way with her and was caught by the wrong person. Most likely Barnes, Nat thinks knowing he was the one person on site who would've resorted to shooting a gun into the vent. Nat's smirk grows with she hears Clint and Barnes yelling at each other followed by Barnes shouting many profanities in Russian. With a sigh Nat sets her book down. She might as well go intervene; Clint might not be alive by the end of the day.
