"Can I be the best man?" Clint asked with a cheeky smirk and recieved a hard punch on his arm from his partner.
"I wish I had my camera to catch that beautiful moment." Tony said with his hands over his heart.
"Here's a beautiful moment you'll remember." Natasha declared. "The time you had to go 'old school'."
Tony's eyes visibly widened in horror.

"I hate this, I hate this, I hate this!" Tony muttered angrily under his breath. "Why do I have to do this? Capsicle is the old timer here."
"Because you're the one who can figure out the mainframe fast enough." Clint answered over the comm link.
"These people are Amish!" Tony declared. "They probably never heard the word 'computer'."
"Obviously they have since they believe anything technology related is a sin." Steve stated.
"You would know." Tony replied like a child before adjusting the suspenders he now wore. "Alright. I'm going in."
"Please, remember that you're undercover." Bruce practically pleaded.
"I'll remember." Tony assured. "Stark out."
The genius inventor removed his comm link and placed it in his pocket before coming out of hiding. As he walked into the little town, he ran his fake information through his head again.
He moved here just two days ago and was a book keeper for many of the town businesses. Today he was to meet the mayor of the town to get a tour of the place. It would give him the chance to try to figure out where the mainframe of a supposedly hiding evil genius might be.
The frowned at the town. Absolutely nothing around with technology. Not even electric streelamps.
"You must be Mr. Anderson." a voice declared.
Tony turned around and smiled kindly at the man who approached him.
"Yes. I'm Anthony Anderson." Tony answered and shook hands with the man.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Mayor Thomas. Welcome to Ashdale. We're very happy that you moved here at this time. We needed a new book keeper. Not many folks here in town like to put up with all those math equations."
"I rather enjoy mathmatics." Tony said. "But I must admit that I haven't been Amish all my life. My late wife was Amish and I decided to do the same because I loved her so much. But I find it very calming to live so peacefully without the hassle of the city."
"Well, I'm glad that you believe that my friend. I hope that you haven't got any of that technology with you."
"Absolutely not." Tony answered despite the fact he had a piece of tech in his pocket.
"Good. Now, let me show you around the town."
Tony paid close attention as he and the mayor walked down the dirt paths. He looked at all of the small homes and small buildings around him.
There was a general store for food and supplies, blacksmith shop, the church, the school, town hall...
That's the one. Tony thought to himself as they stood in front of city hall for a moment. The building looked normal but an internal feeling told Tony that there was something inside.
Having been around technology all his life, Tony knew when it was around and he was definatly feeling something coming from this building.
"Now, your new home has everything from the last man who helped our town keep track of their finances. But if there is anything else that you need, please, let us know and we will help you."
"I appreciate it very much. Thank you." Tony said as they shook hands before parting. Once the mayor was gone, Tony hurried back to the house he was going to occupy for a while. Running down to the basement where his Iron Man suit was hidden from view, he took out his comm link from his pocket and turned it on.
"Tony Stark calling in."
"I'm reporting you for using technology." Clint said with a sure smirk on his face.
"Ha ha, bird brain." Tony said sarcastically. "I got some information that I think may lead us to the mainframe."

"Never going undercover again." Tony declared. "Had to stay there for a d**n week."
"Now you more or less have an idea of what my time was like." Steve said with a smirk.
"I still have no idea how you lived like that." Tony said. "And these people were even worse. I'm just glad that my gut was right about the town hall. Otherwise I'd still be there."
"You big baby." Natasha declared.
"Yes I am. Give me my bottle!"
