"Pay up Legolas." Clint narrowed his eye in annoyance
"This is bullshit!" Clint looked at his small stack of cash sadly. "Could you give me a loan?"
Tony grinned
"No. But since I'm feeling generous, hand over your remaining cash and… and Piccadilly" Clint pouted, and handed them over
"You bastard… my yellow set is ruined."
"Can't we just say you win?" Steve asked, no longer enjoying the game of monoplay.
"But it's Grace's turn!" Clint narrowed his eyes at Grace, as he could only watch as his precious cards and money were passed to the girl.
Upon noticing Clint's horror, Tony smirked
"What?" Clint narrowed his eyes
"You can't fund her! That's cheating!" Tony simply laughed
"She's my daughter, how could I not?" Grace simply looked at him sheepishly as she rolled her dice, causing her to pass go, land on a community chest, and getting a get out of jail card.
Natasha had opted to watch the game, with Bruce joining her. She had been getting bored, but then Tony once again ended up in jail. Clint grinned
"I think this games trying to tell you something Tony" Tony narrowed his eyes in annoyance, before turning to his daughter with his hand outstretched.
"Give me your get out of jail free card Grace" Grace raised an eyebrow, and Tony sighed dramatically…
"Please!" Grace smirked
"No." It was Tony's turn to look horrified.
"But…After everything I've done for you, you would just leave me to rot in jail?"
"Buy the card and I won't have to" Steve chuckled, but felt himself grow warm, as Grace smiled at him.
Clint on the other hand found this turn of events fantastic, and had a smug smirk on his face.
"You heard mini stark, just pay the woman."
"But I gave you Clint's money!" Grace smiled sweetly
"I never asked you too dad. You did that just to annoy Clint" Natasha nodded in agreement
"Kids got a point" Natasha added.
"But you accepted it!" Tony weakly retorted.
"Why wouldn't I? It was free." Tony huffed, and gave his daughter the money for the card. "It's nothing personal dad, its business "Tony narrowed his eyes.
"I will remember this betrayal"
The game continued on, and to no one's surprise, Tony won.
Soon the avengers and Grace dispersed…Natasha and Steve headed towards the Gym, Bruce and Tony headed towards the lab, leaving Clint and Grace in the living room
Clint was heading towards the TV, however he noted that Grace was frowning at her phone.
"Kid, you alright?" Grace snapped out of her thoughts.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine…"Clint frowned.
"You sure?" She nodded, and headed towards the elevator.
"Can you tell dad I'm going out?" Clint nodded.
"Where you heading?" A soft smile crept across her features.
"I'm going to get my cast off"
And with that the brunette was off, leaving the archer to his thoughts...
Hmmm, was he doing anything interesting today?
Grace wouldn't be long would she?
Heck, maybe he would meet her from the hospital… She was pretty small,
His thoughts went into overdrive, as he thought about the young girl, alone in a place like New York.
He'd come to see the girl, as something like a little sister... so with those thoughts, he decided he would wait for her outside the hospital… maybe they could go get something to eat too, and he could get some dirt on Tony too, he had to have some embarrassing secrets too…a sly grin spread slowly across his face at the thought
Said archer decided to wait at café, not far from the hospital for the girl…It been a while since he had just relaxed outside the tower. However his moment was shattered, when he noticed the Brunette.
The brunette who wasn't alone.
She'd rushed out of the hospital, running down the street, with a dark haired male on her tail. Frowning, and filled with concern. Clint left money on the table for his bill, and rushed after the pair.
It took him longer to catch up, due to the crowds on the street, and for a moment, he thought he'd lost the two of them, when he noticed a figure in an alleyway. Going towards the entrance, as he got closer, he heard crying, and what suspiciously like skin being hit. Feeling anger fill his being, he stomped towards the muscular figure, and grabbed his shoulder, the man, was youngish, and blue eyes were filled with rage. He had a built frame and his dark hair, was short and spiked. Upon noticing Clint, he sneered.
"Look Gracie, it's one of your daddies little friends" Grace had slumped to the ground, not looking up as he hands covered her face. Clint wasn't sure if she was crying, but he noticed her trembling figure, and his eyes narrowed.
"I suggest you back the fuck up buddy" He snapped. "Before I break your pretty little face." The man didn't seem daunted, and instead laughed.
"You don't need to worry yourself, Clint, Me and Grace were just talking that's all." Clint couldn't control his fist as it headed towards the bastards face, however the man simply dodged. Clint attempted to kick him, only for him to block the incoming blow with his arm.
"You should stick to your bows Hawkeye" He stepped back from the assassin. He turned to Grace.
"Remember what I said princess… You know I don't appreciate being ignored." And with that he slinked away, with a satisfied grin on his face. Clint would have gone after the prick, but then he remembered the girl, who had yet to say a word.
Bending down to her level, he noticed her tense as soon as he went to reach out towards her. Not knowing what to do, and feeling out his depth. He didn't try and comfort the girl, instead he picked up the girl, holding her in his arms.
And without a word between them, Clint carried the young girl home…Knowing that she would be in better hands there.
He felt a small smile creep across his face.
A certain Billionaire and a certain super solider were not going to be impressed.
They would be out for blood.
Steve had noticed the absence of the pair, more so Grace. He had to wonder where she had gone, and for a moment he felt a heavy feeling in his chest as he imagined, grace choosing to go out with Clint instead of him. It was a silly thing to dwell on, but he had gotten close to Grace since their outing. They had even started their movie nights, and after careful thought on Graces part, she decided on starting with Star wars. She'd been patient with him, and hadn't seem to mind his questioning.
She was truly one of a kind. It been a long time since he had felt so comfortable with someone like he was with Grace.
He didn't have to be Captain America, superhero who led the avengers.
It been a very long time, since he'd been Steve.
Just Steve.
He'd been in the kitchen, just brooding in his thoughts. When a certain redhead decided to join him. A smirk crept across her face, as she noticed the super solider dwelling in his thoughts.
"Missing someone Steve? "Steve turned his attention to the smirking assassin.
"What?"
Natasha simply smirked
"I asked if you were missing someone, in particular, a certain brunette" Steve frowned.
"I don't have an idea what you're talking about "She simply raised an eyebrow
"Is that so?" The pair stared at each other before the super solider cracked.
"I'm not missing her"
Nat simply stared at him.
"I haven't known her long, so I can't miss her"
Nat still stared, and Steve felt himself feel uncomfortable under her scrutiny.
"She'll be back soon anyway, and she's probably with Clint"
Nat again didn't speak.
"Not that I'm bothered by the fact that she's probably with Clint."Natasha raised an eyebrow at , despite her not saying anything, could figure out where her thoughts were going.
"I'm not bothered by her and Clint out together! That would be ridiculous!" Natasha couldn't help let the smirk slid back onto her face, at how flustered the Captain had suddenly become.
He was such an easy target.
"So you're telling me that you're jealous?" Steve paused at this.
Was he jealous? He had no right to be jealous, he didn't like Grace like that…They were friends. So why would he be jealous of the fact she had chosen to go out with Clint instead of him.
Grace and Clint got on pretty well, so he wasn't surprised that the pair went out.
No, he couldn't possibly be jealous.
Right?
"It's pretty obvious too" Nat continued
"What is?"
Nat looked blankly at the blonde, looking at him as if he was an idiot
"That you like her" She commented, as if the answer was obvious and he was too stupid to see it.
Steve immediately felt his face turn red.
"I don't! "He denied quickly.
"Tell that to your bright red face Cap" She turned to the coffee pot on the side, and poured herself a cup.
"Besides, it's not like she doesn't know about who you are. You wouldn't have to live a double life with her"
"I hardly know her" Steve tried.
"Yet, you're the most comfortable with her" She reasoned.
"She's Tony's Daughter!"
"And? "She took a sip from her mug.
"You like her, stop trying to deny it" she took a moment to stare into her mug.
"Just make sure you keep an eye on her" She said this seriously, and Steve realised that she was no longer teasing him.
"Keep an eye on her?" Steve felt his eyes widen slightly.
"Nat, you can't possibly think she's up to something" Natasha laughed at this.
"Of course not idiot. She couldn't harm a bloody fly. I simply meant she's hiding something, that's all "He would have argued against that, he would have defended the brunette, but he couldn't help but agree with her.
"I know what you mean" He conceded "She's jumpy, and she was pretty nervous when we went shopping"
Natasha nodded, as she processed this information, and she was about to mention her suspicions, when the elevator opened.
They hadn't expected to see the archer, holding a shaking Grace in his arms.
Clint simply stared at his partner.
"Go get Tony and Bruce. They'll wanna be here to see this"
Sorry that Steve didn't rescue her, but i kinda wanted some Clint and Grace bonding :)
