Nick didn't wait for JARVIS to open the door, he just kicked it right open and came in.
Tony looked at his broken door and sighed. At this rate he was going to need more home improvement than he did after the battle of New York.
"Where's Barton?!" Fury asked. They had no idea one eye could convey this much anger. Steve pointed nervously to the bedroom at the far end on the right. Fury turned around without a word, and walked down to the end. He knocked three times. He heard only the muffled sounds of whimpering.
"Barton? Open up now!"
Nothing.
Fury summoned Natasha over with a finger. She came, and he whispered something in her ear. She looked at him, clearly taken aback. "No way!" she said. "That's an order, Romanoff!" She sighed. "Clint? If you come out, I'll….." she looked annoyed, "I'll kiss you."
There was a long pause, before the door creaked open, revealing a very scared looking Clint peeking out. Fury folded his arms. "Out. Now."
Clint gulped, but opened the door fully. He couldn't run forever, he worked for this guy.
He walked out, and sat down in the den with the rest of the Avengers. Nick paced the floor in front of him. "In what world did you think that this would be a good idea?! How did you come to the brilliant conclusion to go vandalize a public monument?" Clint started to open his mouth to answer, but Fury cut him off. "It was a stupid ass conclusion!" Clint shut his mouth.
"Do you know how this makes the Avengers look? Like idiots! You're supposed to be doing good, not causing mischief and hectic inconveniences to the world!" They heard Loki chuckle from the corner, and both Fury and Natasha said "Shut up!"
"And most importantly, Barton, you're supposed to be setting an example!" Clint looked down. He just wanted to be cool in the eyes of his nephew. He didn't expect Fury to understand that though, so he didn't say anything. "How do I know you're not going to do it again?" asked Fury.
Clint thought long and hard. There really was no way to prove to Fury he wasn't, even though he knew he was never going to do it again. "You don't know, sir." Fury though his arms up. He looked deep in thought. He knew that Barton is mostly honest, and is a terrible liar, so for him to be this honest was a good sign.
"Okay, I'm gonna trust you to uphold the reputation of this team, Agent Barton." He came right up to Clint. "But if you ever, ever pull something like that again, I will break your arrows and personally throw your bow through a lumber mill."
Clint's eyes widened. "You have my word, sir." Nick just narrowed his eye, and turned to leave.
Nick had been surprisingly easy! Thought Clint. Usually, he would have ranted for about 5 or 6 more minutes, but today's was only about a 3 minute lecture.
As Nick walked by the pieces of Tony's front door, he turned to Tony. "Stark, you'd better fix that door," he said, and left.
Tony shook his head in disbelief, and called for DUM-E to clean up the mess.
They all sat down for a late dinner, quietly eating, thinking about all that had happened. After dinner was finished, they got ready for bed. When Clint was walking to his room, he saw Natasha walking to hers upstairs.
"Hey Nat?" he asked. She looked at him. "Where's my kiss?" he grinned. She rolled her eyes, and went to bed.
