Chapter 3!
Back to New York
The helicopter ride seemed to take forever, every so often Phil would look over at his archer, he seemed stressed already, dammit Fury! Couldn't he of left them for at least a day in paradise! He could already tell that Clint was back in what he called 'Avenger mode" eyes darting all around surveying the city.
By the time they landed on Stark Tower Clint knew something was wrong, through the window he saw Stark and Cap arguing, and he could of sworn Tasha was there, typical she can never rest!
"Mr. Stark, Agent Coulson and Barton have arrived" Jarvis stated. This didn't seem to stop any of the yelling.
"And you call yourself a genius Stark, our mission was simple and yet you keep fucking it up" Cap angrily snapped shoving his finger in the mans face
Wow Cap is swearing Barton thought this must be serious
Stark just seemed to let the insults roll off him "It's not like I can just put Banners name in Google, then again I doubt you even know what that is, you pretentious fuck!"
Barton and Coulson were just standing there in shock, what was going on with the team! Out of the corner of his eye Barton saw Tasha, looking as white as Loki's skin and rushed to her side.
"I thought I told you to look after yourself…you look like shit" Barton had never been able to lie to her, he touched her face feeling the fever. "You need to rest" and with that he scooped her up in his arms, being as careful as he could and put her down on the couch.
"Barton, I…I have to listen, I need to help…" Tasha's voice just sounded as exhausted as she looked "I'll be fine"
Clint just draped a blanket over her and watched her snuggle up on the couch. Now that was dealt with he turned his attention back to the matter at hand.
Even though Coulson knew he was a handler he hated dealing with shit like this, he wedged himself between the two arguing hero's "Mr. Stark, Captain Rogers please explain to me how this argument is helping us find the Doctor?" he asked trying to defuse the situation. Both the hero's stopped dead in there tracks and looked at him. "Now lets work on a plan to get the Doctor back as I would like to go back on vacation" he stated as his eyes flicked up to meet the archers.
"Honestly Agent, I don't now why Fury called you and your lovebird back to New York" Stark smiled as he saw the Hawk shift uncomfortably…did he really think that no one knew about their relationship. " How can an assassin help us, I mean see how much help Tasha is" Stark pointed over to the now sleeping Widow " I doubt he made you come all this way to break up a fight".
Clint let out a sigh " Look Stark as much as I don't want to be here, Fury ordered me to come here, plain and simple" Barton snapped
" And the Agent clearly has no free will, always doing as your told must get boring, hopefully you have more of a backbone in bed" Stark spat turning his attention to Coulson trying to get some sort of reaction.
Coulson had to hold back the urge to punch Stark in the face, as Barton seemed to be getting redder with anger he felt his involvement would just make matters worse. "Stark that was unnecessary, we are all here to help find the Doctor" Stark just chuckled "do you always fight the Hawk's battles Phil?
With in a flash two arrows imbedded themselves in the wall behind Stark "Always out to get a reaction, to create chaos. HERE IS YOUR CHAOS STARK" Clint spat.
"ENOUGH" Cap shouted "I am not about to watch two of my team members kill themselves over a petty fight, we have more important issues to deal with"
Barton walked over to the wall to retrieve his arrows "Remember Stark, I meant to miss, next time you many not be so lucky, perhaps an accident while on assignment" he said through gritted teeth.
"Jarvis can you bring myself and Agent Barton up to speed on the task at hand" Phil knew this would be the only way to get his archer focused again.
"Certainly Sir" the screen in the room jumped to life, Banners SHEILD file popped up with all his work. " The Doctor was last spotted entering the Casablanca Hotel in Times Square" Jarvis played the recording of Banner entering.
"Pricey digs" said Clint "so he just disappeared, did he check in?" Jarvis cut to the CCTV of the check in desk, Banner was nowhere to be seen.
"We believe someone hacked the CCTV feed at the hotel" Stark chimed in walking up to the screen "notice the disappearing mug"
Both the Agents saw what Stark had pointed out "Someone simply cut out the time that Banner was there?" Phil questioned "What has he got himself into?" he ran his hands over his face knowing he wouldn't be back in paradise any time soon.
