Not so Subtle Chapter 5: Nothing could stop them, an avengers fanfic

Used this song for another fandom but I love the song so much, and then got an idea for a story, and the bunnies must be appeased. I regret nothing!

Clint looked into Natasha's eyes deeply. They had just made it through one of their toughest missions, and he had only moments to speak his mind. As he opened his mouth, the sound of helicopter blades drowned out his words.

Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standin' here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feelin' for you

Toy had decided to treat everyone to a vacation at his cabin in the mountains. Unfortunately he hadn't realized that the water temperature was still just above freezing. Everyone else had chosen to stay on the shore, but not her and Clint. They had grabbed each others hands and together, had raced headlong into the water, laughing and screaming like children.

"Idiots." Tony muttered

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart

Clint held her hand tightly. They had just barely made it out of an exploding building. As far as S.H.I.E.L.D knew, they were dead. "Come away with me, Nat. We can start over, with new identities. We can be free. Together." She shook her russet curls."You go. if anybody deserves a second chance, its you." His smoky blue eyes softened. "No we both do, but, were in this together. If your staying, I'm staying."

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, whoa no

She had been Clints partner from the beginning, and every time Fury decided to put her with someone else, she fought against it like a wild cat. Even when threatened with whatever punishment he saw fit, She fought Fury tooth and nail. Clint had been with her on every successful mission she had ever been on, and she had been on his side every time. Even while he was under Loki's spell. Even while under constant enemy fire, and injured, she had never left his side once. They were willing to go through fire and ice for each other. Whatever it took.

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times, see you through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Clint. I'm scared. Her whispered admission rang in his ears. He looked at her, amazed. Natasha's eyes were indeed swimming with tears. They were on the top floor of a building, their snipers nest having been compromised by a sudden, unexpected earthquake. The building was collapsing out from underneath them and for the first time ever, he wasn't sure that they would make it . The only thing he could do was hold her, determined to make sure that her last moments were the happiest. That was the sight that met Tony's eyes when he came down to pull them away to safety. "Would you rather get away, or keep on hugging each other? Idiots."

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart

She held the brand new passport with their new names in her hand. Michael and Bridget Hawk. You once asked me to run away with you. I wasn't ready then, but I am now. We can build a new life together, the two of us against the world, just the way it should be. " He trailed his fingertips over the blue leather covers. Normally he would jump at the chance. Yet, he couldn't. Not after all the Agents he killed while under Loki's control. He shook his head, "This is what we do..."

It had been a month since he had killed Loki, and twenty-nine days since he had said anything to anyone. His emotions had been so confusing and tangled, that he couldn't say anything. To anyone. Natasha had finally gotten so frustrated with him, that she had marched up to him, and demanded that he say something to her. Clint had looked up at his warrior Queen and pulled her into his arms, his tears darkening her already blood red hair.

All that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever, Hey

Clint Turned his back on Thor. She should have been out by now! e shouted. Thor watched his friend race back to the weapons factory that had been set to blow. ''There is no time! We must flee!" Thor called after his teammate as he dissapeared into the doomed building. Clint Found her quickly enough. She was standing totally still, holding the detonator in her shaking hand. "I cant do this." He closed his hand over hers. "Natasha, we talked about this. Its the only way we can be together. The only way we can be free." He touched his lips to hers in a feather-like kiss before they pushed the button together.

Director Fury looked at each and everyone of them. They had already lost one of their own to Loki, the thought of losing two more was unthinkable. Peppers eyes were red with weeping and Tony was already on his third scotch. Bottle, not glass. "The building was completely demolished. No on could have survived, yet their bodies haven't been found." Steve swallowed hard at the mention of his friends in such a cold callous way. "If anybody could have survived, it would have been them." He whispered softly. "Exactly"; Fury announced. "So I want finding any trace of them to become your number two priority. They are still alive, and I want you to find them."

Build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us now

Bruce looked at the computer screen. It was open to the real estate listings for some little town in Wisconsin. He said nothing, simply deleted it from the computers memory with a small smile. Similarly Pepper found the box of herbal essence champagne blonde and blue black hair dye in the trashcan. She glanced around quickly before shoving it deeper into the garbage.

What are you going into do? Steve asked while looking at the flashing computer screen. It displayed a black haired Clint, and a blonde haired Natasha, Making their way through the Wisconsin airport security. They were holding hands and looked incredibly happy. As if they were the only two people in the world. Tony shook his head. "I don't know about you, but I'm looking for Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov. Security says that their names are Michael and Bridget Hawke." Steve smiled and walked away. "Good luck. Idiots." Tony whispered fondly.
