"CLINT!" They all shouted as they ran onto the roof, Steve leading the way.
"Hey you up here Legolas?" Tony shouted as he dashed around, searching wildly for his missing friend.
"He's over here!" Steve shouted a few seconds later as he ran over to a corner of shade, where Barton lay, unmoving.
"Hey, you're ok, we've found you." Steve said as he ran over to the man, checking his pulse and making sure he was breathing. He looked tired, and sunburnt and overall very out of it. Clint groaned and his eyes fluttered as Steve tapped his face to wake him up.
"We have been looking everywhere for you." Steve said as he pulled Clint off of the ground. The archer stood shakily, obviously dehydrated and very dazed.
"What the fuck is going on?" Clint asked angrily as he held his throbbing head.
"We can explain everything, or almost everything, but right now we've really gotta go." Tony said as he walked over.
"You alright, Barton?" Maria asked Clint as she walked over.
"No." The archer retorted. "No, I'm not ok." He exclaimed angrily as he started to come back to reality.
"You look good, you got some color, I'm jealous." Tony said, trying not to laugh.
"You look like a tomato." Darcy said with a chuckle.
"What are the girls doing here?" Clint asked. Natasha, he suddenly remembered. "Wait, I'm getting married today."
"Yes, and that's why you need to focus and do everything that we say, because frankly you're wasting a bit of time right now Bird Boy." Tony said, glancing at his watch.
"You fucking asshole." Clint snarled as attacked Tony pushing the man to the ground, but the archer pulled back before causing any damage, yelling in pain.
"My skin is burning!" He snarled. "Damn my light skin color."
"I'm sorry, Clint, we'll explain everything on the road." Steve said soothingly, Maria and Thor both started to say something but Clint interrupted them.
"Shut up, just get me home." He said. Steve nodded and reached over to pull him off of the ground, while Thor grabbed Tony.
They sat waiting for the valet to come back with their car, Clint sitting in a wheelchair drinking water with his sunglasses hiding his eyes. Maria and Tony were sitting on a bench with the luggage, while Darcy was leaning against Thor's arm. Steve caught sight of Jade a little ways away sitting on another bench, and despite his misgivings, knew he owed her an apology and an explanation.
"Just…give me a minute." He said to the others as he walked over to her.
"Is he missing a tooth?" Clint asked.
"Yes, that he is." Thor said with a laugh.
"I knew there was something different." Darcy said with a smirk while Tony and Maria chuckled.
"Hey." Steve said as he sat down next to his bride.
"Hey." She replied.
"Listen, Jade I…uh…"
"Look, you don't have to say it, I totally understand this whole thing was a stupid mistake." She said. Steve sighed in relief at her understanding.
The valet drove up and the others started packing the luggage into the trunk.
"Captain!" Thor and Tony called out. Steve glanced over his shoulder then turned back to Jade. They stood up simultaneously.
"I have to go." He said as he awkwardly hugged her. "Bye."
"Bye." She said with a giggle. He went and hopped into the car.
"Alright, lets go." He said as he sat in the backseat next to Tony, Clint and Darcy.
"So how are we going to get back in time for the wedding exactly?" Darcy asked as they started driving. Maria smiled from the drivers seat.
"Don't worry, I've got you guys covered." She said with a smirk. She drove out of the city a ways until the others caught sight of an enormous black plane parked just off the road. It's massive door wide open.
"What the hell did you pull off, Agent Hill?" Tony asked.
"I called a friend." She said with a smile as she drove the car up into the planes interior. Standing a little ways up was a tough looking Asian woman in a long red dress. The group got out of the car, Darcy and Thor staring around them wildly.
"This place is awesome!" Darcy squealed. Maria walked over to the other agent.
"Agent May." She said cordially as she shook the woman's hand.
"Agent Hill." The woman returned.
"Thanks for flying out here, I really appreciate it." Maria said, a ghost of a smile slipped over May's face.
"My pleasure." She said. "Your formal wear is in the main room, there are showers there was well, but make it quick, we're in a rush." May addressed the others before leaving to return to the helm. "Oh, and Barton, you look like crap." She added.
"Who was that?" Steve asked.
"The one and only Agent May." Clint said quietly as he started walking up the stairs and into the Bus's interior.
"Agent Melinda May, one of the best agents in SHEILD. And a friend of mine." Maria clarified. upon seeing how confused Steve still was. "Now, come on. We have a wedding to prepare for." She said with a smile, leading the others up into the plane as it started to take off.
After they'd all showered and dressed they stood at the planes bar, each with a drink in their hands. They would be arriving back at the SHIELD California base shortly for the wedding. Clint sipped his beer.
"At least the trip wasn't a total disaster." He said.
"What makes you say that?" Steve asked as fiddled with his tie.
"When I woke up on the roof I found 80 thousand dollars worth of chips in my pocket." Clint said with a grin as he pointed to where his old clothes were scattered on the couch. Tony screamed in delight.
"Looks like we're going home with some money, guys." Clint said with a grin.
