This is the first physical fight I've ever written, so please forgive me if it's way to vague and unrealistic. I did my best.


The team but Tony were in the common room, discussing new strategies for fights which didn't leave the genius helpless, if the bad guys found a way to get him out of his suit.

"Stark's weak in a fight without his suit," Steve stated, unaware that the man in question just entered the room.

"OI! Am not! I might not be a genetic manipulated super solider from the past, a part-time giant green rage monster, a god from another world, dimension, whatever or a paid assassin, but I'm far from weak."

"Face it Stark, you get out of your suit and unless your put on the glasses you don't even know in which direction you should try to punch."

"Oh, is that so, Barton? I bet you $500 that I can win against you. Without any technology, including J and my glasses."

"I'll take that bet."

Clint relied on his strength in one to one combat. Tony knew that.

The genius could hear quite good by now, five years after his...accident.

He always knew, who was doing what where as long as it made minimal noise (Tony actually suspected that this may be a slight late-activated mutation. He'd have to contact Xavier sometime if that was possible).

If the engineer would switch tactics at the right time, he would win.

Why?

Happy's training (which he spent a good time pretending to be worse than he was) wasn't the only one he had ever gotten in his life.

What no living person but him who knew that his father had let him be trained so that he could stand all forms of torture (and when the billionaire said all, he meant all) and bring a person in hospital and/or kill someone without anything but his hands.

Not, that the genius intended to do this to the archer, but he was sure as hell capable of it.

"Meet in half an hour in my boxing ring."


Tony entered the room fifteen minutes earlier than he would have to, his hands already wrapped. When he arrived, the other team members, Rhodey (who was on paid leave for a week and had decided to visit the Tower), Happy and Pepper were already assembled.

Bruce (who was the only one who was vaguely aware of what the genius was capable of due to them usually sharing a lab) was giving the genius a thumbs up.

Steve and Thor were in the corner talking about the fight which was about to happen, clearly expecting the Clint to win.

Happy, Rhodey and Pepper looked concerned about the billionaire, though Happy least out of them.

Clint stood on the left side of the ring already with Natasha next to him (but outside the ring) giving him either advice or telling him not to put the genius in hospital as he was needed for the Avengers. If it was the latter one, she'd be better off telling the billionaire.

"Scared Stark?" the archer called flexing his muscles as soon as he saw the engineer.

Everyone else immediately quieted.

"As if," the industrialist snorted. He went to Pepper, Happy, Rhodey and Bruce who were standing. He gave Pepper a kiss, handed his glasses to Rhodey (who put them in a box to make sure he didn't cheat – not that it was necessary as the glasses turned off when they were more than 1 meter away from the chip.) and clapped Bruce and Happy on the back.

Then he jumped in the ring with a back-flip. The genius could hear the others gasping and laughed.

"Ready, Clint?" Tony smiled cockily.

"Yeah. I'm not going to chicken out just cause you can do an admittedly amazing back-flip," the assassin retorted.

"Didn't expect you to," the blind man replied throwing his first punch on the archer, causing him to wince.

The archer threw back a punch, but the mechanic jumped aside in the last second.

This continued for a while in this order, with Clint getting hit way more than Tony, until the latter on decided that the fight had lasted long enough.

He started to fast and repeatedly punch Barton in his stomach.

Started, the archer huffed at first and then tried to react, but found himself unable to, as the inventor had already punched him to the ground by the time he was over the surprise of the engineer switching tactics.

Tony reached out with his right hand in the direction of Rhodey and commanded, "Glasses."

Absently Rhodey handed Tony the glasses.

Pepper, Happy, Rhodey, Steve, Natasha, Thor and Clint stared at the billionaire in complete shock and utter disbelief. Even Bruce who had seen the mechanic lifting several heavy things (like 80kg, or 176lbs if that's what you prefer) was surprised.

"Keep your money, Legolas. I told ya I'm not weak", the man in question laughed, leaving the room, "So, excuse me, I have arrows to work on."

The others just stared there in shock until Bruce came to a realization. "Wait a second...did he say he's not a paid assassin?"


THE END.


Bye and thank you guys
