I was sitting up in a tree aiming my sights on big buck when my phone started ringing. The buck shot up and ran off into the woods, there goes Clints trophy. I grabbed my cell phone and yelled at angrily.
" What do you want I am on vacation!"
" I am sorry for bothering you ma'am." Steve said apologetically into the phone. Now he probably thinks I am mad at him, nice going Cas.
" No it's my fault Steve I should have not brought my phone on a hunting trip anyway."
" So you're hunting?"
" Yeah it's kinda my hobby"
"Sounds fun... Tony what are you doing? Tony. No... Give me that! ..." Steve started rambling in the phone. He sounded like he was fighting with someone.
" Steve? Hello Steve, you there?"
" No Cap is a little tied up right now, but you can talk to me. Name's Tony" Replied some other voice. What does he mean tied up, he is freaking Captain America for Pete's sakes!
" So you are the one who interrupted our phone call?"
" Not interrupt. I just wanted to get to know more about the fine woman Steve keeps rambling about to Banner. And I did it just to get on his nerves." I felt the man smiling smugly over the phone. It was noon and I wanted to get some form of shooting done so I was going to have to let them go.
" Well I don't care who you are, but I am busy and will have to let you go." Before he could answer I hung up the phone and turned it off. Why men have to make each others lives so difficult I will never understand. I started to go over what he said about about Steve talking about me. It was flattering, but when men usually talk about me that way they end up in a hospital or at least with some form of bodily injury. I was out in the woods hunting and exploring till late afternoon. I never did find that buck again, damn you Steve. When I arrived I found I had a visitor at my camp.
" I thought I would find you here Cas!"
Clint had been on a mission with Natasha in London for about a week now. Everything was going smoothly, Natasha easily sweet talked their mark for information and now it was his time to die. Clint watched from a roof as Natasha led him down the street. She had her fun now Clint was going to have his, he was still as he slowly pulled the trigger. While the the shot hit its mark Clint could'nt help but remember Cas.
"So Cas Why do you use a bow?"
" Because I do. I am better at ranged weapons and silent stalking instead of direct hand to hand combat." Cas replied as she let a arrow fly hitting the farthest target with ease.
" Okay, why do you like hunting?" Clint said as he let a arrow zip through the air and split her's in two.
" You owe me a new arrow." She replied flatly as she jumped down off the tree silently on the ground. Clint followed, but made much more noise." Too loud twenty push ups when we get to camp. and why do are you asking so many questions?"
" Because I want to get to know you better. Hey can I ask you a personal question?"
" Sure."
" Have you ever killed anyone?" She grabbed his arrow free from the target and turned to him. She stood still for a moment then answered his question.
" Yes."
" What did it feel like?"
" If it was my target it felt like a rush. Like the feeling a predator gets before taking out its prey. Don't get me wrong I enjoy that feeling, the feeling of knowing you are going to end their life. I guess some people would call me crazy, but that is the truth. I hate killing when it has no purpose, that is when I have problem. Bloodshed with no purpose is just violence, and humans are the only animals I know that do it." She started to walk away as Clint silently followed.
" Okay, So do I really have to do the push ups?" She just laughed as they walked to camp.
" Why would you do that?" Steve asked as Tony handed him the phone back.
"All the reasons or just the main one?"
"Why Tony?"
" First, I knew it would bother you and second I was curious." Tony smiled with a devilish smile on his face. Steve just scowled.
" Don't you know it's rude to interrupt a phone call!"
" Now, now old man don't get your tights in a wad. She was busy with something anyway."
"Whatever." Steve just rolled his eyes. Then a flash of lightning occurred outside and their friend Thor appeared.
" Hello friends! I am back to Midgard as my father allowed." The Asgardian boomed loudly in front of the men.
" You sure do make a entrance. Don't know how to use a door?" Tony replied laughing. Thor just glared at him with a quizzical look on his face.
" Of course I know how to use a door."
" He meant it as a joke Thor." Steve replied as another weird look passed Thors face.
" I still do not fully understand Midgards humour."
" So what brings you to Earth Thor, I thought you were in Asgard making sure Loki did'nt escape and such." Bruce asked him as he walked up to the men.
" Loki is secure, but another threat has come to Midgard. The evil witch Enchantress has come here to try to escape imprisonment, but I am here to find her."
"Well it's nice to see you Thor I wish it was on better terms." Steve said as the god looked around.
"Where is Natasha and Clint I must speak to them and Fury about Enchantress."
" They are on a mission, but will be back soon." Tony replied as he filled a glass with bourbon. " Anyone want one? No, okay then more for me."
" Then I shall wait. So my friends what has happened on Midgard since my leaving?"
" Steve got a girlfriend." Tony smiled as Thor quickly turned to the Captain.
" Tell me more about this woman friend."
" She is not his girlfriend Thor." Clint replied as he and Natasha stood in the doorway.
" Jarvis why did'nt you tell me they were here?" Tony barked at the AI.
"Thor's arrival temporarily disabled the sensors sir." The AI replied as Thor walked over to the SHIELD agents.
" Good you are here I have much to tell you and Fury." Thor said to them as they walked out of the room.
" Better watch out Steve, I think the hawk has his sights on your lady." Tony replied smugly before going to fix Jarvis's sensors.
I just looked at Dena. She had'nt changed since I last met her. She had black and blonde hair in a messy pony tail, her mismatched blue and gray eyes danced with energy, she had short shorts and a tank top on. It was rare to see her show this much skin, mainly because she had tattoos and brands on almost every part of her body. The only place that was not marked was her face. She was almost a hunter like me, but perferred the touch of man. I had met her when I was first becoming a hunter, I don't know exactly what she is, but I know she is not human. She was the one who taught me hand to hand combat. I might not be the best at it, but Dena is one of the best fighters I know. She can take out a whole group of thugs with her eyes closed, where I was a great marksman she was a great fighter. Her main weapon was a old katana she carried on her back and a big, knarly, looking dog named Auto that followed her every command.
" What do you want Dena?"
"Is that any way to greet a friend?" I just rolled my eyes at her.
" I was just wondering how you were doing. I checked your place and you were'nt home, so I checked here." She flashed me a smile then pulled me into a hug. " Where is your phone so I can put my number in it?" I gave her my phone and number. We talked for a little while. I did not tell her about my feelings for Clint, but I suspected she knew something was up.
" So who is he?"
"Who"
"You know the guy you are thinking about turning into a deer for."
" His name is Clint."
" You mean that kid that was with you in the jungle?"
" Yes."
" He was cute but needed some manners." I remembered when Clint first saw her. She had visited me in jungle and he just stared at her. Her reply was " What's wrong with the kid he mental or something he keeps staring at me. It's creeping me out." He did'nt even glance her way after that.
" Yeah."
Dena stayed with me the rest of the trip. She also stayed a few days after just talking to me. I found out she was a gun for hire and business was good, she even asked if I wanted to join her. I kindly declined and she said her goodbyes and left. I was eating dinner when my phone rang.
" Hey It's me Clint."
" Hey."
" What are you doing this Saturday night?" He sounded nervous.
" Nothing, why."
" I need a date." I just blinked.
" Why?"
" Just please say yes." He started pleading with me now.
" Fine, at least you gave me time to go get something nice to wear."
" You don't own any dresses?" His tone lightened a bit.
" Have you seen a archer in a tree wearing a dress?" I heard him laugh a bit.
" No your right. I will pick you up at six be ready." He hung up the phone as I hurried and dialed Dena's number.
"Hello?"
" Yeah Dena, it's me Cas I need you to help me go on maybe the hardest mission I have ever undertaken."
" What is it? What happened?"
" I need a party dress."
