A/N: Here you go, the next chapter at your disposal!
Clint Barton was a simple man. He didn't want or need much to survive.
A place to call home, food, his bow and arrows, his friends who account for his family and Phil. That's all he had ever wanted from life.
At a very young age, Clint learned exactly how unfair life could be. It could take away everything from a person in a matter of seconds. Barney, The Swordsman, his parents, every one of them had left him on his own one by one. So when he met Phil, it took on our beloved agent's part a lot of effort to get Clint to open up.
Oh! Clint had loved Phil from the very first day they had met. But loving someone also gave them the power to hurt you, which is why it took Phil almost a year to get Clint to go out with him. But it paid off and through Phil, Clint finally found a part of himself that he had thought to be lost forever – hope.
They were together for five years before Clint finally got the courage to ask Phil to marry him. Phil had been so happy. They would have been married within the year if not for the various villains and super-villains that kept popping in for them to deal with.
Natasha had joined SHIELD almost two years before Clint had proposed. She was actually the one who did most of the leg work with the planning since Clint kept having nervous breakdowns almost daily leading upto the D-Day!
When Fury had assigned her to Coulson, it became quite obvious in SHIELD that this trio known as STRIKE TEAM DELTA were the ones to beat. Coulson and his two 'underlings' as people loved to call Clint and Nat were not to be messed with, as within six months of being together as a team they became legends and the rest as they say, became history!
It wasn't three years after Clint proposed that they finally tied the knot. Nat was Clint's best man, Nick was Phil's, Hill was their vicar an Jasper got be the ring-bearer.
It had been ten years of amazingness; with some moaning, groaning, whining, maiming, killing and a lot of love making before things went to total and complete shit when Phil got himself killed.
