Authors note- Okay next chapter coming up! Thank you kcollins720 and ELECKTRA13 for your reviews! Also thank you to all my alerters out there! I do not own the Avengers, Hawkeye, or anything Marvel.
I Woke up in some funky smelling motel room with Clint, Drake and Dena. The only thing I remembered from before waking up was the smell of wet dog, and dog barks. Clint slowly helped me get up.
"I know who has been attacking us." I caughed "It's Akantha."
"Yeah we already figured that Cas." Dena said sarcasticly then she looked at Drake. "Now you tell me your story, your name isn't really Drake is it?"
"No it is not boss, but I figured you knew that from the very beginning. My real name is Apollo and I was waiting to see who has been doing all these crimes against the gods." I just sat there wondering what the heck he was talking about. Poor Clint he looked exasperated. I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"What do you mean crimes?"
"My sister Artemis has been missing on a hunt for about a month or so. That is why I joined forces with Dena because I knew she was the only one who could contact you Cas." I laughed a little bit. You know it is pretty sad when not even the gods can contact you.
"So you are telling me Artemis is missing and Akantha is the one who took her. A human taking a goddess hostage. Do you know how stupid you sound right now?" I just glared at him. Clint nudged my arm and whispered in my ear.
"He's one of your gods shouldn't you respect him?"
"I am a hunter I respect no man. Anyway how could she be gone for a month? She was just here not to long ago to give me my mark."
"You're right, but one of those is not about your punishment. See this one is a location." He pointed to a symbol on my arm. It was so small and integrated with the patter I didn't even notice it.
"Okay so who would want to take a goddess of the hunt?"
"You recall a Asgardian witch by the name of Enchantress?"
"Yeah I helped thunder pants get her back, why?" Clint snickered when I called Thor thunder pants.
"She arrived here just as Artemis went missing. We think she wants to start a war between the gods so Loki can escape in the chaos."
"Wait Loki can do that?" Clint looked up his interest in the conversation increased.
"With the help of the Titans of course. I mean who else would gain from a war between Asgard and Olympus." I questioned the others, Dena spoke up in return.
"I don't know my god perhaps, or maybe any other gods who want the two second greatest super powers out of the way!" Clint finally had enough.
"What do you mean your god, my god, this god, that god!"
"Let me explain this in terms you can understand Clint, You see the human mind is a very powerful thing. When people believe in certain things they manifest in what you call god and supernatural beings. You had the Greeks who believed in the Olympians for example, Norse tales had Thor and all of them, You also have the Hindu gods and goddesses, and the Egyptian god and goddesses all of them went through what I like to call there glory days when everyone prayed to them. That's how they got their power and what not, but then came along like it did every other time a new set of gods and what not took over and is now the supreme super power. And that is what you call Christanity and all of that goodness. Right now they're the big hauncho until someone else comes around, so there you go." Dena finished her long lecture to Clint about how the worlds supernatural stuff worked.
"Why cant it be simple again." Clint groaned.
"Okay so I will go and see if I can talk to Thor and figure this all out." I said trying to get up. It hurt so bad, but a big war was pending on my shoulders. Drake/Apollo nodded and helped Clint take me to the car. It was a quiet ride to Stark tower and I was ready to crawl in bed. Clint was so nice to carry me to bed, I even slept like a baby.
The next morning I woke up with my face buried in Clint's back. I got up and looked at my body in the mirror, all the scratches turned to scars and I looked like a tattooed mess. "I am getting to old for this shit." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a apple. Once done with that I got in the shower, Clint must have heard me because next thing I know he is in there with me. "What are you doing Clint?"
"Taking a shower with my beautiful girlfriend."
"Im not your girlfriend."
"You know it's usually the men who are afraid of commitment."
"Yeah, I know." I stepped out of the shower and got dressed. Clint wasn't far behind me. I walked to the main area and saw Bruce reading the paper and drinking coffee. Tony was babbling something to Bruce, but he wasn't paying attention.
"Where is Thor?"
"Did you ever try Asgard?" Tony laughed sarcastically.
"He is with Steve, they will be back in a hour." Bruce calmly replied.
"Okay, Well this works for for the Olympians. Oh mighty thunder pants I demand your presence at Stark tower right now! If you can hear me you better get your thundering ass here right now!" Tony just looked at me and laughed. Suddenly lightning shook the tower and Thor appeared with Steve in the room. Thor had a angry face on.
"How dare you address the son of Odin like that Olympian!"
"Hey I needed your attention now and it worked didn't it. Your brother Loki might be trying to cause a war between you and Olympus. They took my goddess and things are getting pretty heated up in the clouds."
"Are you sure, check all of your facts before you suspect innocent people. Loki has been in prison and cannot do the acts of which you blame him."
"Yeah and my names is billy bob! Someone is helping him! Damn you gods are so arrogant! That why you send in your children to do your dirty work." I threw my hands in the air as Thor looked confused. Clint just came to my side.
"Maybe we should just check all other possible leads, I mean he seems pretty sure Loki is locked up."
"Well Im not, and right now Artemis could be hurt. Thor I ask your permission to go to Asgard and see for myself you speak the truth."
"I will see what I can do huntress." With a crack of thunder he was gone. I just sat down across the table from Tony.
"So should SHIELD be worrying?"
"No Clint, I would like to leave your government out of it for as long as possible. If a war does break out then maybe. You should be more concerned with all the missing Stark equipment."
"How do you know about that?" Tony asked handing me a water bottle.
"You forget I am friends with the woman who stole it remember."
"Oh no I remember, So you don't think she knows why right?"
"I don't know, but she's in a very bad mood right now and would perfer to stay out of our business. Anyway I am going to see if I can fine anything about Artemis, I will see you guys later." I was just about to walk away but Clint grabbed my arm.
"You were attacked by a pack of crazy ass dogs and you want to be alone again?"
"You can't come so what do you want me to do?"
"What do you mean I can't come?"
"You were a SHIELD agent before you slept with me and you're still a agent now. There's a file waiting on the table for your next mission. If me going alone somewhere bothers you so much Steve can go with me." I smiled at him and grabbed Steve by the arm. I led him out to my car and told him we were going on a lunch date.
"This is not my idea of a lunch date miss Cas."
"Oh shut up were out and eating right?" Cas replied from sitting up in a tree. They had gone to get some fast food and were staking out in central park. Steve just watched as Cas scanned the park looking for anything out of the ordinary. She jumped down and threw her trash in the trash can. "Okay I think I got a leave you just stand there behind me and look pretty okay."
"Whatever you say Cas." He followed her to a bum sitting on a bench. He seemed to be asleep, but Cas kicked him awake. "Cas don't you think that's a little rude."
"Hey woody wake up! I will turn you into a tooth pick of you don't wake up." The man sent her a ugly look before looking back down.
"Fuck off."
"Excuse me sir that is rude, how dare you say that to a lady!"
"Calm down Captain I got this joker." Cas pulled out her knife and pointed it to the mans throat. "Now listen here nymph you just told the new representer of the hunters to fuck off. Now I don't know if you know this, but open season just started and I can't wait to skin your ass and wear it as a skirt. So tell me what you know about Artemis or start running, your choice."
"Okay, okay, sorry huntress. I heard that someone from inside the camp got the help of some Asgardian. The Asgardian with the help of some master craftsmen cyclops built a weapon of mass destruction. You see Artemis found out and went hunting this guy, turns out he is some human nut job building war machines for the taking over the planet or something. Ha and it gets worse, the big wigs up on Olympus want something done immediately so there blaming the whole thing on the Asgardians."
"So it's not Loki." Steve said turning to Cas. She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"Back to square one I guess." Steve got a call on his phone and looked up at her.
'Maybe not Cas, I think SHIELD can help."
