Chapter six
Hey! I'm not dead yet. I had my final exam so I'm finally done with school got my diploma and everything.
I immediately began to work fulltime, so I have been very busy. I will try to update this regularly, but you know how it is...
Of to the story!
"Uh… hi?" Said Clint awkwardly looking between them, still hugging the coffee pot.
"Hi Clint" all three said together.
"Are you well Clint" asked Bruce holding the newspaper of today down and sipping his cup of tea.
"What! Oh Yes I'm fine, nothing's wrong, why are you asking? He answered back. Shaking his Head side to side, clinging the coffee pot closer.
"Uh… because you're looking kinda stressed there, Legolas" Tony said absentmindedly tinkering with his new robot. ("you don't need more robots Tony, you already have enough". "Gasp! How dare you insinuate that there are enough robots. There will never be enough!)
"Well there is the problem of a mutated cat stalking me! I mean why would I be stressed for being forced out of my own home. Nothing wrong with that!" Puffs Clint angrily. He realized it wasn't anybody's fault, but just thinking of his home made him sad. It is one of his first homes that he wasn't forced to leave yet. The last home he had had been with the circus before Swordsman betrayed him.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath Clint apologized.
"I'm sorry for snapping Tony, I'm just angry that I can't go home."
Tony locked eyes with him with an understanding not many people have and just smiled with a nod.
Steve looked at Clint with a confused face and stopped eating. "What do you mean you can't go home?"
"Well do you remember how I was injured?"
Looking incredulous Steve replied "how could I forget! You were Swiped right out of the sky by one of those things"
"It may be a possibility that one of them has followed me home" he said mumbling rubbing his neck and looking sheepish.
Steve snorted and then turned on Clint with a mock-serious expression. "You didn't feed it did you?"
Clint made a fake affronted huff. "I would never do that! How could you even say that?!"
"That time in Egypt" "That wasn't my fault!" "When we were cleaning up in Texas" "Hey! Can you blame me?" "And don't we forget Budapest" "You And I remember Budapest very differently Nat"
"Ok ok we get it, thank you" sighing Clint went over to the couch and let himself fall in. Giving a sad look to Steve.
Without asking Steve stood up and went to the stove. "Are pancakes alright with you?"
"Yes, thank you Steve. You are the best!"
"Yeah yeah"
Drinking the last bit of coffee out of the coffeepot Clint answered Steve's question. "No I didn't feed one of those mutants no matter how cute they were. I first taught it was just a cat, but when I went to trap it, it broke free of a Stark made cadge"
"hmmm ok, I believe you" giving Clint his pancakes, he went to sit opposite of him. "What is your plan to fix it?"
Looking thoughtful he wipes the crumbs on his mouth with his sleeve and setting his plate aside. "Coulson said he will take care of it, but who knows how long that will take"
Steve smiled at him with unrest eyes. "Well I hope the problem will be over soon, but in the meantime this will be a good bonding exercise for the team" he looked at the team.
"Oh nononono, my house will not be used in this manner. This is a multi million dollar mansion, not some team bonding building." Tony said waving his hands dramatically from his seat. "Besides Thor isn't here, so we can't really bond right? Right?" looking at Bruce imploringly, who expertly ignored him.
Steve raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean Thor isn't here?"
"Oh! I didn't tell you already? He went home to Asgard because of royal reasons" rolling his eyes as he stole some of Bruce's breakfast.
Looking down Steve walked away mumbling "I thought I was the team leader?"
They all watched their team leader walking away talking to himself.
Shaking his head Tony looked at Clint. "Come with me I will show you your room"
Together they walked away. Leaving Bruce with his cup of tea.
Clint's room
You know the feeling of getting something in emotional, something special? You feel a sort of pressure in your chest and you don't know what to say to the person giving you that emotional thing?
Well Clint is feeling that now as he looked at his room. You can't even say it's a room because it has more than one room. He had a large living room with a comfortable looking couch with big cushions. It had a big plasma television with shelves full of movies. The kitchen has everything that he would ever need. With a big master bedroom beautifully painted a deep purple color.
"I know it's nothing special, but you could always change it if you want" Tony said as he nervously wrung his hands, but trying not to show how nervous he is.
Setting his bag down and looking around the room in awe Clint replied with a happy smile on his face. "No Tony, this is great I love it thank you" as he clapped Tony on the shoulder.
Looking red in the face and averting his eyes. "Well great! If you need me, don't call because I'm busy" he fled the room as quickly as he could. "Bye!"
"Bye" Clint called after him, but he was already gone.
Looking around the room he decided that he could take a little nap before he would be a function adult. Walking to his bedroom he let himself fall down not bothering with his hearing aids. Laying atop of his covers he thought before he fell asleep that he should call Coulson to take some stuff out of his apartment he couldn't bring with him.
Outside avengers tower
A creature as black as the night looked up at the tower and disappeared in the wind.
Clint's bedroom
Waking up is never fun as we all know but waking up with ear aches are worse, especially when you have a stupid phone blaring at you.
Glaring at his phone he went up to answer it seeing as it was Coulson.
"Hello my flour weapon using ninja"
"…. Don't ever call me that again."
"Aw, but Phil, that is totally you." "…"
"Fine, fine. Now are calling me to say that you caught the monstrosity?"
"No, I'm calling because I want to inform you that our agents have found the residue the mutants left behind in the apartment. Because of this we asked Bruce to run some tests on you to see if there is no lasting effect on you."
"Oh"
"Yeah"
"It is?"
"Yes…"
"Ah"
"I'm hanging up now"
"Ok Clint I looked at your test result and I see no indication that you have been affected by the residue. I still want to monitor you for eventual side effects, but that is about it for you" said Bruce as he looked at the test results before him.
Hopping of the table as fast as he could and waving at Bruce Clint left the lab. Looking at his phone he noticed a message from Tony. "Hey feathers, if you have the lime go to the twelfth floor" "Huh, not suspicions at all" Clint mumbled as he walked the elevator.
The moment he stepped out he heard loud sirens blaring.
"Avengers assemble, there has been a break in, I repeat there has been a break in"
He looked around the brand-new high tech archery range with disappointment.
"Aw, sirens no"
