"Well, at least you don't have to workout as much as the rest of us to stay in shape." Clint said.
"I kinda miss being able to run around." Bruce said.
"Then you should have been with me when Cap got an admirer." Clint said with a grin as Steve groaned. "And it wasn't a pretty lady."

"Slow down, Cap." Clint panted.
Steve chuckled as he slowed to a stop and waited for his friend. While he was wearing khaki colored workout pants, a white shirt and white sneakers, Clint was wearing a black under armor shirt and matching shorts with black socks and tennis shoes.
"I can see why you were promoted to captain over night in the forties." the archer stated slightly out of breath.
Steve lightly chuckled. This wasn't the first time that he and Clint have gone out running together but this was the first time that Clint demanded to be challeneged in speed.
He quickly admitted to biting off more than he could chew when he realized that he was at a full sprint while Steve was at a jog and still a few feet ahead of him.
"I should have remembered that time we clocked how fast you can run." Clint said as he stood straight and the two began to slowly walk down the sidewalk of the unusually empty park.
"Everyone forgets." Steve said.
"You can't. Not with that eidetic memory." Clint pointed out.
"Having a memory like this isn't always fun. Especially when Tony has me reading manuals and all these different kinds of science, history, mechanic and physics books. I don't even have time to draw and paint because he's 'helping' me catching up on things."
Clint laughed as he called all of the books he'd once seen Tony give their older friend.
"How many of those books have you gotten through?" Clint asked as they stopped by a water fountain to get a quick drink.
"I'm half way through the stack and thanks to the enhance memory I remember about ninty percent of the books. Which I don't mind. It has helped me understand a lot of things and half of the stuff Tony and Bruce talk about."
"Wow. You really do have those books memorized to understand them." Clint exclaimed before taking a drink of water.
The two Avengers began to walk again and soon spotted another male jogger with dark hair. As he passed them, the two heard him whistle at Steve.
The soldier whirled around with a glare as Clint tried to hold back his laughter. The jogger continued on after sending a wink and flirtatious smile to the captain. Once he was gone, Clint let his laughter ring out.

"You got hit on by a guy!" Tony exclaimed through laughter.
"Not the first time." Steve grudgingly admitted with his arms crossed.
Tony continued to laugh.
"Steve, have you seen yourself in those workout clothes of yours?! Man or woman couldn't resist a little look." Natasha stated.
