A/N: Another one! Yay!
Tony, Steve and Bruce were talking about Thor, who had gone back to Asgard to deliver Loki and the Tesseract, taking some much needed time, eating and just chilling on the common floor, when Natasha came in the through the door in a fright.
"Has anyone seen Clint?" were the first words out of her lips. There was a hint of panic in her tone, Tony noticed.
The both of them looked at each other, an unspoken thought passed between them, before Tony was on his feet.
"JARVIS, where is he?" Tony asked the AI.
"The last I saw Mr. Barton, he was going into his room. And as per protocol, I don't have camera feeds on any of the bedrooms, which you already know Sir. And the sensors in his and Ms. Romanoff's room are also cut as per their request since the day they moved in." the AI replied.
"He was not in his room and he never leaves it without me having to drag him out of there." Natasha said, in full on panic-mode now. Bruce and Steve had finally picked up on the tension in the room.
"He's gone." Tony whispers, like it was the most simple explanation. Natasha looks at him with her big, wide eyes, as if willing him to say it was wrong.
"Try t… I'll…" Natasha trailed off. Taking a few deep breaths, she tried again.
"I'll go check out few of the places he could go to." She said and then turned back towards Tony. "You…"
"I'll get right on it!" Tony replied, answering her unasked question.
"JARVIS, run interference with every facial recognition programme through all the cameras in the city. Let's find Clint!"
In a weird way, somehow without him knowing, Clint had become Tony's family. And he was not going to lose another family member of his. He won't!
A/N: R&R if you will?
