A/N: I can't believe i am this early. How 'bout that, eh?
So I know, it's taking some time, but we will have our Phlint reunion soon enough. Just hang on till then. And now, on with the chapter.
It took Clint 4 hours and 26 minutes to reach the "classified base" where Phil was being kept… err… treated.
He still couldn't believe that Nick would do something like that. But he couldn't really say he was shocked with the findings. It was Nick Fury after all.
On one hand, Clint wanted to hug the Director for going to such lengths to get Phil back. On the other, he wanted to strangle him to death for not telling Clint that they had revived Phil, even if he was comatose, until now.
How could he!
If Phil were here, he would tell Clint to try and understand the position Fury was in and why he did what he did. But Clint didn't want to understand dammit! All he wanted was to get to Phil as soon as possible. And never let him go. Now that he finally knew his husband was alive.
That was a sobering thought.
Phil was alive. And apparently, finally, awake.
If there was a god, who didn't look like Shakespeare in the park, then Clint would thank him. He would thank him for giving him Phil back, for giving him his life back. But before he could any of that, he had to see it, see Phil, with his own two eyes.
As soon as they landed, Clint was out of the jet and looking for signs of electronics on the barren hill they were standing on. The Director had told him about the secret panel and the entry code. It was moments like this, Clint thought, when he should have taken the time to think his plan through and probably brought the Director along with them.
"There it is." Tony said, pointing towards a scanner with a rotating camera on top. He had JARVIS scan the whole area as soon as they were out of the jet.
Phil's name was the last thought Clint had, before he punched the entry code into the panel and the mountain divided itself into two halves.
A/N: Liked it? Didn't? Leave me your words behind and I'll fo-sho get back at ya!
Till then... thank you for being here.
