A/n: It seems I'm better at humor than I originally thought, lol. It's good to see so much positive feedback. I don't think this part's as funny as the others, but you be the judge. :)


Jealous Part Five: Where's Barry?

Roy sweat dropped; how had she known? He had stayed out of sight, been careful. There was only one sound explanation…but after a few moments Roy realized it wasn't a very sound idea that his first lieutenant wasn't human.

Roy sulkily came out from his hiding place, like a child who'd been caught doing something naughty.

"Good afternoon First Lieutenant," he greeted coolly.

She saluted him before repeating her question. "Would you like to join me in the café sir?"

"Um…" Roy really hadn't expected this reaction from her, good natured and smiling. The reaction he'd expected…involved his brains splattered on the sidewalk behind him. It was that thought that drew Roy's attention to Hawkeye's own head; although not splattered on the sidewalk, he noted her hair was down. It was very pretty on her.

With Barry's absence Roy felt his confidence soar. A smirk crossed his lips. "I'd love to share a drink with you Hawkeye, but I'm here on important business," important for him anyway. "Where is Barry?"

"Barry the Chopper?"

"Yes," Roy was a little irritated; se wasn't playing dumb to protect her lover boy was she? "Falman told me you and Barry had gone…out," the word tasted worse then the aftertaste of a hangover.

"Oh," Hawkeye seemed surprised Roy would ask her such a question. "Yes, well sir, Barry has been complaining lately about having nothing to do and wanted some recreational things. Falman has the flu so he asked me to take Barry out and get some books and such for him. We finished shopping over an hour ago, he's back with Falman,"

For Hawkeye's really really long response, Roy had one word. "Oh,"
