Author's note- Alright new chapter for this story! Can I hear a cheer? I mean it's only been like a million years, right? But I am back so you can calm down and read this next chapter! I am sorry about not updating this story but a lot has been happening and I have had writers block on this story. I will try to finish this story either tonight or tomorrow if not then next weekend. I want to get to work on a new story but hate having all these unfinished ones sitting on my page so look forward to seeing those finished hopefully! I do not own anything Marvel, The Avengers or Hawkeye but if I did I would marry Clint Barton: P.


"Agents I hope I wasn't interrupting anything?" Fury asked innocently turning from a holographic map to look at Clint and I. Rolling my eyes I let Clint answer for us.

"Of course not, you never fail to catch me at a bad time Nick." Clint laughed sarcastically then began to lean over on a wall we stood by clearly agitated. I smiled at his humor but then felt the mood in the room return back to serious one when Fury brought are attention to map. Either Iceland didn't exist anymore or something was wrong. I looked around and noticed that the rest of the team was already here.

"Is it just me or does something seem missing?"

"Maybe Iceland is taking a vacation?" Tony laughed but got no response but maybe a slight chuckle from the audience.

"Its magic related I can tell you that. Your sensors are picking up a high concentration of energy that's used in cloaking spells." Anubis pointed out on the map. He generally looked interested which was messing with my head. Usually when I brought him along for any kind of assignment he never cared but to bust some heads.

"Why would you cloak something like Iceland wouldn't people notice?" Steve asked and Clint cracked a smile.

"I don't know because Asgardian super villains are stupid?" Thor didn't take too much of a liking to Anubis's prodding and immediately puffed up like a distressed rooster. Before this went into a word fight Bruce gave Thor a look diffusing the situation. The captain was the next to break the awkward silence between the team.

"I don't know but I don't like it."

"You and I are on the same boat. I am prepping S.H.I.E.L.D personnel now. In a few minutes we will have a central location of where this magic might be coming from. I want Agent Barton and Cas to take a team of six each to set up look out points in a semicircle about five clicks around the perimeter. Once we have our eyes and ears open I want Steve, Tony, Dena, and Anubis to be my ground control and response team waiting for my single. Agent Romanoff I want you to stay with Bruce with Thor so we can take this Surtur down. "

"And do you have any idea how we can take this Surtur down? I mean if Thor and Odin couldn't do it what makes you think a secret agent and a scientist can do about it?" Bruce questioned. He had a point and I was deeply interested in how Fury would pull it off. The room with silent for any ideas one could think of. A light bulb went off in my brain.

"What if we lock him up?"

"Didn't thunder pants say he already tried that?" Dena pointed out with a smug look on her face. I made a snarl face at her before answering.

"Yes but what if we lock him away in a place I know he can't escape. We can throw him in the pit! Not even the fathers of the Gods could get out of there so I am sure a something like Surtur cannot escape."

"What's the pit?" Steve asked confused like every other non-god like person in the room was thinking, but surprisingly Bruce was the one to answer.

"Tarturus, prison for the Titans. The Titans were the gods before the Olympians, who were before Asgard. And correct me if I'm wrong but this whole power hierarchy comes from how old you are." I nodded my head and he shook his. It looks like someone did their homework on the Greek gods. Tony gave him a strange look and Bruce simply answered, "What we have three godly beings I thought I should look into them."

"Okay how do we do even start in throwing a guy like that in some prison like Tarturus? I'm sorry babe but this is out there even for you." Clint said moving from his position from the wall to rest his arm around my shoulders. Tony made a gag face and Natasha just smiled at his immaturity. I felt a little resentment that Clint didn't have faith in me but the more I thought about my idea the stupider it sounded.

"There's a spell all you have to do is get the blood from a keeper of the underworld and it opens the door. Then you get someone who knows where Tarturus is and you lead the big guy down there and close the door and throw away the key. Gosh Clint don't you know anything!" I explained. Clint released me from his gasp and just nodded his head in response. After years of knowing me he knew he wouldn't win an argument. Fury took in my plan and seeing it as his only option he reluctantly agreed with it. Thor on the other hand was not so easily convinced.

"How do we know your little prison will hold the demon Surtur?"

"We don't but I don't hear you coming up with any better ideas so shut your mouth hole and let's get this over with. The more time we waste the more time I don't have to do my hobbies!" Dena yelled giving a pointed look at the god of thunder. He didn't reply but Tony was left wondering what Dena could be doing as a hobby.

"What is assassinating people a hobby for you?"

"Don't judge." Fury rolled his visible eye before speaking.

"Let's just get this show on the road, Hawkeye, Cas, You're on!" Clint and I shook our head and headed down to the armory to suit up with the others. On the way over there I couldn't help my curiosity on Clint's nickname. I really had not paid much attention to it until now and couldn't help but let my mind wonder over it.

"Hawkeye, it has a nice ring to it, when do I get my nickname?"

"You do its baby hawk, you can be my sidekick." Clint teased but I did not find it amusing. I be his sidekick, if anything I was his mentor he should be my sidekick! I rolled my eyes at him before going to get my bow but then saw a display case with something very peculiar sitting inside it. It was another SHIELD suit but this one was different. I pulled the piece of clothing from the case and held it up to my body. It looked much like Clint's with the same color scheme and patterns. It had the same boots and SHIELD symbol on the chest and the material was actually semi comfortable and not confining feeling like the suit I was given before. I heard Clint speak from behind me.

"Tony asked what kind of suit you wanted since the avengers try looking professional when appearing in public and your whole hunter wear was messing up his style. His words not mine by the way." Clint laughed putting up his hands when he said I was messing up Tony's style.

"Says the one who wears the big red and gold metal suit!"

"Yeah I know but he asked me for my input so you would at least try to wear it." I let a small smile spread across my face. Clint was looking down at the ground with a slight hint of embarrassment.

"It's okay, although we will look kind of like twins don't you think?" Clint looked up from the ground with excitement lighting his eyes and showed me a details I did not see before on the suit.

"I know but see the boots are knee high because I know how much you like knee high boots and it even has a built in hood…" I interrupted him with a soft kiss to his chapped lips.

"I am glad you put your input in, you did great because I love it. Besides if you have given Tony total control I would probably be wearing some skanky form of an Iron Man get up."

"Not Iron Man, I was going to make it a skanky form of a Hawkeye outfit, but Clint said no." Tony said laughing into Clint's communicator. I mouthed a thank you before going to put on my new attire. Turns out I was right and the new outfit fit pretty comfortable. Grabbing my bow I met up with our team of agents in the hangar. The trip to Iceland didn't take long and the time for our departure came. Fury went through the plan one more time and I was crystal clear and what I had to do. Only one thing was weighing on my mind though, Athena's warning. Clint was going to die on this mission. I turned and looked into his blue eyes. He was busy giving the agents a run down on what was going on. He looked so serious yet every time he could he would crack a joke at the agents and share a laugh. I pushed the thought of the goddesses warning from my mind and focused on the mission. Before long we were on the ground trekking through barren grasslands. I felt out of place among on the land. Once Iceland was covered in trees, now it was nothing but grasses.

"Alright O'Hale, Martinez, Smith, Leaks, Hicks, and Salazar you're with me everyone else follow Castalia's lead. Remember we are not here to fight but to set up a perimeter, any questions?" Everyone shook their heads no and Clint moved out with his team leaving me with the other agents. I shook my head and began instructing them to set up the equipment Fury assigned. I was standing in the dark of the Icelandic night with cold wind nipping at my face keeping look out for my team. In the distance I could barely make out Clint's team moving through the grass. A crackle of static came over my communicator before I heard his voice.

"Any signs of danger Cas?"

"No I got nothing up here how about you?"

"Silent."

"Good let's hope it stays that way." Looking around I began to take in our landscape. It was very hilly with no cover what so ever, just grass and more grass. When my team was done setting up we moved for the next point. I let them lead the way I was I followed behind. A light noise echoed through the air as the wind began to change. The once calm atmosphere seemed to be disturbed, we were not alone anymore. I looked down the dip of the hill where Clint's team was and it seemed that they were beginning to set up their first point.

"Hey Clint everything okay over there?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Yeah I just got an uneasy feeling that's all… Clint…Clint can you hear me?" Hitting my communicator a few times I did not get the signal back.

"We lost communications ma'am."

"Why?" I asked hoping the SHIELD techs would have an easy explanation. They did not of course because that's just my luck. I loaded my bow and told them to hurry along when I heard a swift noise come through the grass.

"Let's hurry this along okay, and you I want you to get our communications back up now!" I yelled as I looked through the grass for the source of the noise. After about ten minutes of looking I began to think I was being paranoid, until I saw the bright fiery eyes peeking through the dark grass.

"Shit."
