Soldiers And Spies
Chapter 12
After a couple more days the team sat down together and made a plan to hit the fourth out of the five HYDRA bases. This one was the last of them located in Germany. Tony put up surveillance pictures on the screen of a small base a few kilometres outside of Stuttgart, Germany.
"As you can see from these aerials that Hill has kindly gathered for us, this base is not too heavily guarded, personnel wise that is. From what we can tell, these four towers around the outside of the base house large cannons of some sort. If I had to hazard a guess, my money would be on ex-shield technology." Tony told the team.
"We could be dealing with alien tech here people, so we have to be careful. We need to take these towers out first. Bucky, I want you to take out the guard in the east tower with your sniper rifle. Clint, you take the guard on the west tower. Tony and Sam, I want you guys to fly in and take out the other two. We want to do this all at the same time so none of them have a chance to fire off a shot knocking either Tony or Sam out of the sky." Steve said grimly.
"No problem." Clint replied, and the other three nodded in agreement.
"Natasha, Sharon, Eva and myself will be on the ground while this is being done. Eva and I will come in from the east, while Natasha and Sharon will come in from the west side of the base. Each team will meet up with either sniper on their side before proceeding into the base. Tony and Sam, once the tower guards are down I want you guys to disable the cannons and clear any more HYDRA soldiers around the perimeter. When that's done, team up and come in from the north entrance." Steve continued to say.
"Got it." Sam replied.
"Once inside, each team makes their way through the base, as we have done previously, take out any HYDRA personnel and collect any intel you can. From what Fury and Hill have told me they don't think we will find much here in the way of the missing nukes. Their money is on the final HYDRA base in Washington. Rendezvous at the south of the base when the building is cleared. Does everyone understand the mission?" Steve asked the team and they all nodded in agreement.
"Great, we leave in an hour. Grab your gear and suit up."
Everyone nodded grabbed their guns and other weapons from the armoury and changed into their uniforms. Eva saw that Tony had done something to her suit, it now had dark purple piping and was glowing. It was somehow in tune to her body as it glowed brighter when she used her powers. She made a note to thank Tony for upgrading her suit. The team met at the quinjet ready for their mission.
Bucky and Clint took out the guards in their allocated towers and then made their way down to meet up with each of their teams. Steve and Bucky began taking out soldiers while Eva protected them using her powers on any soldiers who were coming from behind them.
Eva punched one man in the face before shooting him in the head with her Colt Python and looked around to find their area was now clear.
"The east side of the base is cleared." Steve reported to the rest of the team as they made their way over to the west side where they met up with Natasha, Sharon and Clint who had just finished clearing their area. They made their way to the rendezvous point outside on the south side of the base and waited for Sam and Tony to come in from the north when something was fired at them, burning down a tree in the process.
Eva threw up her shield, covering her and Natasha, while the others took cover behind a stone wall, as they saw a man firing a large cannon like gun at them. As more red beams blasted in their direction, Eva used her powers and redirected them at some of the other soldiers who were coming down from the hills. Natasha kicked one man in the chest, before breaking his neck while Clint fired arrows at a few more. Bucky, Steve and Sharon fought hand to hand with more of the soldiers when Tony and Sam came flying in to join the fight.
Eva let go of her mental shield and blasted some of the soldiers with a psionic hex bolt, causing the sky to darken for a moment as a bolt of dark purple energy hit the group of soldiers surrounding Natasha, blasting them away, and knocking them out.
"Thanks, Eva." Natasha said gratefully and Eva nodded at her as they made their way into what looked like a small storage facility on the edge of the base. They took out more soldiers as they entered and they came across what looked like a morgue...
There were children's bodies on the tables, Eva checked for a pulse but couldn't find any of them still alive as they surveyed the horrific scene. Some of these children looked to be only six years old, the oldest couldn't have been any older than nine.
"Steve, we found what looks like a morgue. Looks like HYDRA was experimenting with something on these children." Natasha said through her comms as she waited for the rest of the team to join them.
Eva looked at the young girl and brushed some hair from her face. She noticed that her skin was still slightly warm and sighed heavily. The young girl must have only died a few hours ago. The whole thing was making her think back to when Malia had died, and she hated thinking back to that because she would get upset and infuriated at the psychotic bitch Yelena, and only want to make her pay even more.
The rest of the team made their way to the make shift morgue when the perimeter had been cleared. They were all horrified at the sight before them. Who could do such horrible things to innocent young children? No doubt they were Red Room orphans, just like Natasha and Eva had been.
"No nuclear weapons here, I'm guessing HYDRA moved them." Bucky said grimly.
"Clearly HYDRA are trying to perfect their experiments though." Eva said, as she looked around the morgue full of bodies.
"Unfortunately we are too late to help any of these kids, but I guess the only upside is, if they are dead HYDRA haven't succeeded with what they were attempting to do yet." Natasha added.
The team made their way back outside and had a quick debrief of what they had found, or more to the point what they hadn't found... the nuclear weapons and Yelena. Evidence of more experiments was very concerning, with the threat of an enhanced Yelena Belkova looming over their heads, the last thing they wanted was to be fighting more of HYDRA's experiments.
"We have one more base to hit, it would appear that Washington is HYDRA's main base of operations, I'm confident that we will find the nukes there." Steve told the team as a SHIELD quinjet landed nearby and Agents began to sweep the area, gathering anything of use and setting charges to blow the base so HYDRA couldn't come back to it.
The team returned to their jet, and Clint and Natasha got it ready for take-off. The team sat in a slightly uncomfortable silence as they all mulled over the events of the mission, and what it meant for their next one.
The team were all troubled by what HYDRA were planning with the nuclear weapons and the alien weapons. Not to mention the android robots that they had fought and then there was Yelena to deal with as well. Things were getting very complicated for the Avengers.
Bucky sighed grimly and stepped out of the shower. As he walked into the bedroom he saw Eva was practising her powers once again, her eyes were glowing purple and she had wooden blocks floating in the air gracefully before breaking them into pieces. He knew Eva was worried that she might lose control of her powers, which was why she practised and trained so hard.
He sat down next to her. "How long have you been doing this, doll?" He asked quietly, seeing how tired and mentally drained she looked.
"A few hours, James...I just keep on worrying about what my powers can do to you, the others and innocent people. I don't want to hurt anyone." Eva confessed worriedly.
Bucky cupped her face in his hands tenderly.
"I know you won't hurt anyone Eva, I trust you."
Clint wandered in to Natasha's room to find her doing crunches on the floor. He sat down on her bed and waited for her to finish. "How are you feeling?" he asked as she stood up and took a long drink from her bottle of water.
"Great." She replied with a smile. "Everything has healed nicely, except my knee, but the brace Tony made me has been working wonders for it."
"I'm glad you're on the mend."
"Everything okay Clint? You seem... different."
"I'm good Nat, I've just been thinking a lot is all." He replied.
"About?" she probed.
"You... Me... Us I guess." he said a little vaguely.
"Ok...?" Natasha said, a little worried that he was having second thoughts about their 'thing' before it had really even begun.
"We've been dancing around this for a while now, and I think it's time we did things right" he said a bit nervously.
"What are you saying Clint?"
"I want to take you on a date Tasha."
"A date?"
"Yeah... if this is still what you want?"
"It is, and I'd like that."
"Great, I have the perfect plan... how about tonight?" he asked.
"Sounds great... what should I wear? Casual... formal? In between?"
"Both. You will want to be able to move around easily for what I have planned. But you will want to dress up for dinner afterwards. We'll have time to change." he told her while still being vague about his plan.
"You have me very intrigued." she smiled.
"That's a good thing. We'll head out at 3pm." he smiled before giving her a quick kiss and leaving the room.
Natasha smiled at that and grabbed some comfortable cargo pants and a black t - shirt and took a hot shower before she changed for the date. On her way out she grabbed a beautiful black dress, smiling at how excited and happy she was to be going on a date with Clint. She was going to enjoy this. It was actually her first real date.
Eva laughed quietly as she saw Bucky had gotten flour on his face as they were making dinner for the rest of the team.
"What are you making, pchelka?" Bucky asked curiously as he looked over to see Eva cooking some type of meatballs and the smell was intoxicating to his stomach.
"Tefteli, Russian Meatballs and for dessert, Russian Honey Comb Cake for all us." Eva said proudly as she let the food cook and showed Bucky the cake that was baking in the oven. It smelt so good.
"That looks delicious, Eva." Bucky said amazed at his girlfriend's cooking skills.
When Eva finished serving up the dinner onto plates for everyone Bucky gave her an affectionate kiss on the cheek. "Thanks babe." He whispered as he took the plate she handed to him. The rest of the team made their way to the kitchen and took a plate each, thanking Eva for making them dinner. Sitting down in the living room they all ate their food in a comfortable silence while they watched the news.
That was until Tony piped up. "So I'm betting a hundred bucks our favourite spy/assassin duo won't even make it to their dinner before they finally cave and do the horizontal mambo." He laughed.
"The horizontal mambo Tony? Really?" Bucky laughed.
"We're not betting on our friends... doing you know." Steve scolded.
"Oh c'mon Cap, don't be such a prude!" Tony laughed. "We're all adults here... we've all done it... Unless... Someone here hasn't?" Tony questioned giving Steve the side eye.
"Hey we are talking about Clint and Natasha here, not me!" Steve laughed while turning a bright shade of red when his virginity came into question, which earned a small giggle from Sharon who was sitting next to him.
"I got fifty bucks says they only make it halfway through dinner before they leave to do the 'horizontal mambo' as Tony likes to call it." Sam added in as he pulled out his wallet.
"Fine!" Steve said as he caved to their silly game. "I'll bet a hundred that they don't go that far tonight. Clint's a gentleman." he told them.
"Bucky? Eva? You guys want in on this?" Tony asked the couple.
They looked at one another and smiled. "Fifty says they make it through the date, but get carried away in the elevator on the way back to one of their rooms." Bucky chuckled.
"The elevator... really? Please god, don't let them defile my elevator." Tony begged.
"I'm not betting." Eva said amused as she tucked into her meal, while Bucky sat next to her and ate his, a smile on his face as he sat beside the woman he loved.
"Alright, all bets are in. Let's see who comes out on top." Tony said stifling a laugh.
For their date, Clint took Natasha to a paintball arena. There they had a few rounds of one on one, in which they were pretty evenly matched. They wore protective gear so they didn't get too bruised up during the game. By the end of it Natasha had beat Clint two rounds to one. It was a great chance to forget about everything that was going on, let loose and have some fun. Natasha couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so much. Even though the two of them were quite competitive, it was still a lot of fun.
After having a quick shower in the changing rooms and putting on their nice clothes, Clint drove them to one of his favourite restaurants. It was a nice little Indian place, he told her they did the best curries in the city. They were shown to their table and they sat down and looked over the menu.
"It all sounds so good, I can't decide." Natasha told Clint.
"Trust me, everything here is amazing. How about we get a few different things and share them? That way you can try more than just one dish." he smiled.
"Perfect. I like the sound of the Seekh Kebab." she said as she pointed to the picture of the lamb skewers.
"I'm thinking... the Chicken Bharta." Clint suggested, and Natasha nodded in agreement.
"And how about the platter of vegetarian selection?"
"Sounds great." Clint said as he flagged down the waiter. He relayed their order to the man and included a plate of Naan bread and some drinks.
Their drinks arrived quickly and they made comfortable small talk while they waited for the food.
"I'm so glad were doing this." Clint told her.
"Me too. I think we've both waited long enough." She smiled.
"I know right." he laughed. "God, I thought I would never get the courage to finally stop lying to myself and tell you how I felt. We had been friends and partners for so long, and I didn't want to mess that up".
"I guess we just needed a push in the right direction."
The food arrived and they started to tuck in. Natasha groaned in appreciation as she savoured something from the vegetarian platter. "Oh my god Clint, you have to try one of these... they are amazing!" she said as she grabbed another samosa and dipped it into one of the chutneys before lifting it up to Clint's lips. He opened his mouth and she popped the piece of food in, letting her hand linger a bit as he sucked a bit of the chutney off the tip of her finger, making her smile.
"That is delicious." He agreed as he swallowed it down, staring intently into her eyes with his piercing blue ones. They continued to share the food until they had finished it all.
"They have a good dessert menu if you want something else." He told her.
"I got a better idea." Natasha replied as she leaned in a planted a gentle kiss to his lips.
"Yeah... I think I like your idea better." Clint chuckled as he kissed her back, a little more deeply this time. She ran the tip of her tongue ever so softly over his bottom lip, igniting a burning desire within him, and all he could think about was getting her back home. He flagged down the waiter and paid for their meal before escorting her back to the car. As he drove back to the tower he held her hand in his, rubbing his thumb on her soft skin. He loved touching her, even in the most innocent and affectionate of ways. Now that he had her he never wanted to let her go.
The short drive seemed to take forever and he was glad when they finally reached their destination. As they jumped into the elevator, before the doors even had a chance to close he was on her in a flash. His lips devoured hers hungrily and she moaned into his kiss. "Jesus Tasha." He whispered as she pressed her body up against his.
"Has the elevator always been this slow?" she laughed as she started to undo the top few buttons of Clint's shirt. Pushing her up against the wall he kissed her neck hungrily making her giggle as the ding of the elevator signalled they had reached their floor and the doors were opened.
The rest of the team were quietly watching a movie when they heard the elevator ping, followed by the sound of Natasha's giggling and got up to investigate. They froze at what awaited them.
Clint and Natasha were literally making out in the elevator, before staggering out into the hallway where Natasha pushed Clint against the wall and kissed him passionately. They knew that the team were standing there staring at them, they could sense it. After all they were highly trained spies, but they didn't care. Without even looking at the rest of their teammates Clint picked her up, her legs wrapping around his waist, before carrying her to his room down the far end of the hallway, kicking the door shut behind him as everyone stared in a stunned silence.
"Looks like Bucky won, folks." Sam said with a laugh, giving Bucky his money as a shell shocked Steve and Tony handed over their money to Bucky too.
"Barnes… I'm curious as to how you knew about the elevator. You two better not have gotten up to anything in there." Tony said warningly to him and Eva.
Bucky smirked while Eva smiled sweetly, but there was a look of amusement in her eyes. They had gotten carried away and Bucky had ended up being given a special gift by Eva, when she pulled the emergency stop button.
Bucky held Eva tightly to him and watched as she drew the curtains over with her telepathy so they could have privacy. He smiled at her before running his hands through her long wavy blonde hair.
"I'm so glad I found you, Eva." Bucky said quietly and Eva smiled at him then before she kissed him tenderly.
"I'm happy that I met you too, James. You're everything to me, along with the rest of the team." Eva said honestly and rested her forehead against his tenderly.
Bucky then nuzzled her neck, his stubble tickling her and she laughed as felt his hands on her toned hips.
"When this is over, I'm gonna take you out dancing." Bucky promised and Eva laughed softly.
"I'd like that, Jamie."
Clint was glad to finally be alone with Natasha. He backed up to the bed and sat down with her in his lap as he kissed her passionately. Reaching behind her. He undid the zip on her gorgeous black dress, sliding the straps off of her shoulders and down her arms, revealing her black lace bra beneath.
She continued what she had begun in the elevator and undid the rest of the buttons on Clint's shirt, almost tearing the garment from his body in haste to undress him. "Woah... someone's eager." Clint chuckled.
"I've waited long enough." She smiled a little seductively.
He stood up and lowered her down to the ground before sliding her dress the rest of the way down her body, letting it pool on the floor. There she stood before him in nothing but her matching lace underwear. Trailing his hands up her thighs, over her hips and towards her tight stomach, he stopped at the scar just above her left hip. He had seen it before, but he hadn't asked her about it.
"How'd you get this?" He questioned as he stroked it gently with his thumb.
"The winter soldier... Bucky. Five years ago." She told him.
"What!?" Clint said infuriated.
"It's ok Clint, it was a long time ago and Bucky wasn't himself. We've talked about it, he doesn't really remember, but I have forgiven him, we've moved past it." She assured him.
"Still... doesn't make me want to punch him in the face for it any less." Clint said as he knelt down and placed a sweet kiss on her scar, before standing up and kissing her tenderly.
Her hands went to the button of his jeans, which she quickly undid along with the zipper. She pushed his pants down his legs and he stepped out of them. The sight of him standing there in nothing but his underwear had Natasha instantly wet. Sure they had seen each other naked before, but not like this. Not in such an intimate and sexual way. Carefully he unclasped her bra, tossing it aside as he marvelled in her beauty. He made short work of removing her panties, and she followed suit by removing his underwear too. Pulling her body close to his, Clint kissed her deeply, pouring all his emotions and feelings into the kiss. He lifted her onto him and lay her down on his bed gently.
"Are you sure about this?" He whispered.
"Never been surer about anything." she said with a smiled as she caressed his muscular arms.
He lined himself up with her, and kissed her passionately as he slowly entered her, swallowing down her gasps of shock and pleasure. When he was fully buried inside of her he stilled for a moment, allowing her to adjust to him. "You okay?" He asked softly.
"I'm good." She assured him. "Been a while." She said a little shyly.
"Same." He chuckled, not wanting to move because already being inside of her was feeling too damn good. "You're so beautiful Tasha." He whispered as he kissed her softly, his tongue darting out to lick her top lip gently. When he felt her grind against him he started a slow pace, gently thrusting into her. Her moans of pleasure letting him know that she was feeling good.
As they got used to the feel of one another after a few minutes, he increased his tempo. He devoured her lips with passionate kisses as he relished in the soft moans she was making. "I love you Tasha" he said as he looked into her beautiful eyes while he thrust into her deeply.
"I love you too Clint." she replied with a smile before letting out another involuntary moan of pleasure.
After a few more minutes, Natasha was getting dangerously close to the edge of orgasm, and Clint could tell by the way she began to tighten around him as her body started to quiver. "You gonna come for me, babe." He smiled as he showered her neck with kisses, keeping a steading rhythm.
She struggled to find the words to reply to him, instead she let out another moan, a little louder this time to indicate she was close. Threading her hands through his hair she pulled his face to hers and kissed him with a fiery passion. "Harder." She whispered seductively in his ear.
"Yes Ma'am." He chuckled as he thrust harder and deeper into her.
"Shit... Clint." She gasped as her body began to shudder uncontrollably.
Natasha began to scream as the waves of her orgasm rolled over her, and Clint kissed her hungrily silencing her loud screams of pleasure. With a few more hard thrusts he followed right behind her as he buried himself deep within her. Collapsing on top of her, the both of them panting ad sweaty, he placed gentle kisses on her neck and shoulder.
"Why the hell did we not do that sooner?" Natasha whispered with a giggle.
"Beats me... but I don't ever want to stop doing that." Clint laughed in response as he pulled out of her, rolling over and pulling her into his chest for a cuddle.
"Me either." She smiled, as she ran her finger tips up and down his torso.
"You're amazing." He told her.
"I could say the same about you. No one has ever made me feel that good." She blushed.
"You haven't seen anything yet babe. Give me ten minutes and I'll be ready for round two. I want to make you feel so good you'll be screaming my name at the top of your lungs." He chuckled as he kissed her passionately and held her tight against him.
We hope everyone enjoyed the Clintasha in this chapter.
