I'm so so so so sorry I haven't been updating. Life has been crazy. Whole family has been sick, my cousin had a late night E.R. visit from an accident, and a whole loads of other stuff. Anyway, I guess this is where we find out why Claire doesn't want to kill Obsidian...maybe xD
"Safety is the top priority. If you can't get him without endangering yours or a teammates life, don't try it. We'll have more opportunities." The Avengers
were seated around the table as Fury gave them the last pep talk before the mission. Well, Claire wouldn't really call it a pep talk. More of a 'If you fail
you're all dead' talk. Apparently those were common. She felt someone nudge her and place a hand over her own. "You look worried, short one." She
rolled her eyes at Tony's oh so affectionate nickname. "Parce que je suis" was her whispered response. Clint's eyes flicked to them. "You have a bad
habit of talking in French a lot." "Because I am French, cervelle d'oiseau. Learn it." She smacked his hand, which had come to rest on her chair. "Why
should I? Stay speaking English." "You're an assassin. You should know this stuff." She laid her arms on the table "It's like...assassin kindergarten
stuff." "Yeah? I learned at a circus. You don't get much knowledge there." They stared at each other for a second. "Vous deux sont certainement flirter."
Tony muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. "Ne sont pas!" She smacked him on the back of the head, causing the rest of the Avengers to look
over at her. "Je suis d'accord. Vous deux flirter." Natalia commented dryly. "Quel est votre probleme avec moi?'' Claire was quick to reply. "Now is not
the time. I want all of you boarded on those jets and at that warehouse in an hour. Go." Fury ran a hand over his brow, sighing deeply as they all
bolted away. (A.N. I don't really want to write about what happens on the jet, it'd be no more than conversation. So I'm skipping ahead to outside the warehouse (: )
"So, Tiger, you think we can do this?" Claire looked up at the huge building that housed the notorius gang leader and his crew. "Sure thing, short one.
You can't expect all of us to lose. It's impossible." He shrugged. She knocked on his suit then smirked. "Hiding under all that armor, it'll take more than a
small man with a gun to take you down." "I'm not hiding." He crossed his arms. "Yeah, whatever. I don't believe you." She looked over at the rest of
the team, jumping a bit when she noticed they all looked back. "Alright, Captain. What's the plan?" Claire sat down on the ground next to Clint. "We
wait for the cover of darkness. We'll have to find a way in, preferably without drawing attention to ourselves." "How do we know he doesn't know
we're here?" Claire's eyes darted around, scanning the surrounding area quickly. "We don't. We just hope for the best." "Don't be such a downer,
Sparrow." Clint ruffled her hair. "I'm not. I just...I know how he works." "So we find him and take him down. That it?" Tony was already bored. "Wait!
No killing him!" They all looked at Claire, shocked at her small outburst. "And why not, sparrow dear?" "You know why Tony. He has
something...important of mine." She huffed, bowing hair out of her eyes. "Alright. No killing Obsidian, he's Claire's. Now, let's get going."
