This chapter literally took me 9 minutes to write, so I suspect the next one will be up within the next half hour. These next two chapters are jokes, okay? They answer the question of 'where the Hell are the other Avengers during these solo movies'. Like I said, don't take them too seriously, we'll get back to actual drama when I get to Winter Soldier. On another note: I can't believe the number of follows and favorites I got! Thank you so much... now if you could leave some reviews you may succeed in making me so happy I die.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2- Iron Man 3
Skye followed the news far closer than Clint did, so she brought it to his attention first. "Clint, shouldn't we be a bit worried about this Mandarin guy? Shield fits perfectly with his MO, and he's proven to have a thing for Stark… not that anybody doesn't have a thing for Stark, but you know what I mean."
Apparently, Clint didn't. "What's this Mandarin guy? Never mind, if I haven't heard about it we don't need to worry about it. Go back to writing that mission report for our op in Lisbon!"
Skye had been partners with Clint Barton for long enough to know she wouldn't get anywhere with a fight. If he said they shouldn't be worried about the Mandarin she wouldn't be.
"I handed you a report on the Mandarin yesterday," Maria, who'd been standing close enough to hear, questioned Clint after Skye left. "Did you not look over it?"
The man leaned back in his chair, and snapped a new head onto one of his arrows. "Oh no, I looked over it, and like I said to Skye it's nothing Tony can't handle. He's a grown man; he can handle some terrorists."
"Tony is dead, now should we be worried?"
Clint turned to see Skye standing at his office door, tears bursting at her eyes. He pulled her into a tight hug before whispering into her ear. "Don't worry about Tony kid, I bet you a year's worth of mission reports he's not actually dead. Like I said, Tony is a grown man; he can handle it."
Skye didn't believe her partner one bit, but there was nothing she could do. This Mandarin was off the grid, and Skye couldn't even get Jarvis to talk to her. (She'd tried. Over the past year she'd gotten very good into getting into Stark's systems.)
A few days later, Skye was in a considerably better mood… until Clint showed up at her office door. "Told you he'd be fine kid. So about those mission reports…"
There were some days when Skye hated being an Avenger.
