Short Chapter, sorry guys. I have a lot going on right now, and I'm trying to update as much as possible, but it's becoming difficult. This story WILL NOT be stopped though. I love it to much. It'll just take a bit xD Anyway here's the chapter, with the light amount of fluff promised.


After three hours of training, Claire returned to her room to shower and think about the mission. She was terrified, and that was the only way she could

explain it. She knew Obsidian was powerful, and she knew it would take a lot to stop him. If only she could have seen Emma before they had whisked

her off... Claire was pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on her door. She got up slowly and opened the door. "Thanks a lot. You and Stark left me all

by myself." Clint crossed his arms and smirked. "Sorry." She muttered, turning and going back into he room. "Hey, wait. You alright? You look scared."

He followed her, watching as she sat down on the bed and sighed. "I am scared. I just...I have a feeling that something isn't going to go right." She put

her head in her hands. Clint sighed softly before sitting next to her and putting a hand on her back. "Claire, what exactly is it you're worried about?

What aren't you telling us?" He rubbed her back slowly. "I don't want anyone to get hurt." "Even Obsidian?" "Even Obsidian." She sighed. "Why is this

guy so important to you?" "It's a long, complicated story, Clint. You're smart though. I'm sue you'll figure it out sooner or later." She ruffled his hair and

gave him a small smirk. He pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. "Does Tony know?" "Somewhat. But he won't tell you, so don't even try." She ran a

hand through her hair "He's been sworn to secrecy." "Have you ever known Tony Stark to keep a secret?" "Surprisingly, yes. He's practically my

brother, Clint. He wouldn't tell my secrets if they were as big as this one." Clint was silent for a moment before looking up at her "Don't trust me?"

"Never said that. Just don't know you well enough to tell you." She responded, looking around the room some more. "I guess I can wait then. I have to

go finish getting ready for tonight." He stood and Claire followed him to the door. He stepped out into the hallway before turning around and putting a

hand on Claire's shoulder "Don't worry anymore. We'll all be fine. This is what we were trained for." He pulled her to his chest, hugging her tightly. She

was shocked for a moment before she hugged him back. "Thank you." She half whispered. He pulled back, smiled, and walked down the hall. "You

soooo like him." Tony appeared out of nowhere, making her jump. "Damn it Tony! Qu'est-ce que je t'ai dit a propos de se faufiler sur moi!" "You told me

last time that if I ever snuck up on you again, you'd beat me to a pulp, perform a lobotomy on me, then accidentally cut my head off." He quoted,

smirking. She rolled her eyes, punched his arm as hard as she could, and walked into her room, shutting the door in Tony's face in the process.


I hope you enjoyed. I'm kind of letting this story write itself at the moment. I like it so far xD Anyway, reviews are love, you'll get a free e-cookie, that sort of thing. Ok...bai! (:
