Okay, so... I'm not a Marvel girl, but this caught my attention and your buildup here was marvelous. I can't speak much for the characterisation since it's been a very long time since I watched any of the Marvel movies, but they're very engaging and they don't feel stiff at all. It's all very natural. And the tense atmosphere- the way it shifts from kind of normal to action all of a sudden is very well done. Not to mention the cliffhanger with Clint presumably shot. A very enjoyable chapter! Looking forward to seeing what else is in store.

Hi! I just wanted to say that I enjoyed this story and thank you so much for writing it! :)

Good story! Clint needs a hack on the side of the head to get him open up and let more people into his life.

At least Clint isn't dead!

Dammit Clint!

Pepper?

Get me a kitten!

This close to getting Pepper free and some idiot has to recognize her!

Hostages coming out? Wait. They're buying time.

No, no, no! Hang on Clint!

Oh no! What did she do? Or did one of the bad guys find her?

Clint is not expendable!

Tony and Steve know the basics.

Well, at least they got the bleeding slowed.

Avengers to the rescue!
