Home
The Avengers all carefully followed Clint towards the farmhouse that stood in the middle of a field surrounded by nothing. Clint was carefully supporting Natasha as they climbed the steps up the porch.
"What is this place?" Thor said quietly to Tony.
"A safe house." Tony responded
"Let's hope" Clint responded as he opened the front door with a creak. He walked into the house and led them into a living room and called out "Katie-Kate? You in here?" They all heard a bang indicating the slamming of the back door closed.
The men standing behind Clint were all shocked to see a large golden retriever-with only one eye- bound into the living room from the kitchen.
Thor was the first to react and pointed at the dog with his hammer saying "Dog" Steve looked at him in exasperation.
Clint grinned widely as he removed the arm that was on Natasha's back and began petting the dog "Lucky! I missed you too boy!"
"That… must be a bomb sniffing dog…" Tony said. The dog had begun wagging his tail as he received a pat on the head from Natasha.
"Clint! Did I seriously see a freaking quinjet land in the field?! Good Lord you are so lucky we do not have neighbors for miles." Came a snarky female voice as a girl who could not be more than 19 years old walked in. She had on faded blue jeans and a simple purple t-shirt, her black hair was pulled back into a long ponytail and she held a bow in her hand and had a quiver slung across her shoulder.
Clint rolled his eyes as he pulled the young girl in for a hug.
"And that must be an Agent. A really weird Barton-esque female Agent." Tony said.
Natasha rolled her eyes as she leaned onto the arm of one of the armchairs.
"So… Are you going to explain where we are exactly? And who this is?" Steve crossed his arms as he looked at Clint squarely expecting an answer.
"Ooo, you've never told the other Avengers about this place? Or me? The BETTER Hawkeye? I don't know if I should be impressed at your secret keeping skills or offended you didn't brag about me." Ponytail girl said with an edge of sarcasm.
"The better Hawkeye? I thought he was the ONLY Hawkeye…" Tony looked completely confused.
"Oh, Stark, you haven't seen anything until you have seen me in action." She winked before turning and sauntering into the kitchen. "I will pull together some refreshments for our guests Barton, while you explain yourself." She called over her shoulder.
Tony was opening and closing his mouth in shock.
Natasha rubbed a hand over her face as Lucky came and placed his head deftly in her lap, she gave his ears a good scratch before looking across the room at Clint "Better explain before Starks head explodes Clint."
Clint reached up and ran a hand through his hair "Right… So. Yea, this is my home. It's my childhood home and I kinda kept it a secret from SHIELD. This place doesn't exist to them. I would like it to remain a secret. The dog… is Lucky. He'll answer to Pizza Dog though. Don't ask, it's a long story… Kate… is Kate! I took her on as my protégé probably when she was around 15. So she initially was my sidekick and she patrolled the streets of New York. Now that she is better than me and all she is my equal she is the other Hawkeye in more ways than one." Clint was rubbing the back of his neck
Natasha snorted "If that isn't the truth."
"Not helping, Nat." Clint cut his eyes at her
"Wait… You knew about all this didn't you!" Tony was now looking at Natasha in an accusing matter. No one noticed Thor and Steve slip out the front door.
Natasha rolled her eyes "Of course I knew. I am his partner."
At that moment Kate came walking back in with a tray that held glasses of what appeared to be lemonade.
"Lucky for you, Mrs. Carlson from down the road knew you were away so she dropped by the other day. She left me with some fruit some eggs as well as a few gallons of that lemonade of hers." Kate said to no one in particular
"Oh, I love her lemonade…" Natasha said as she quickly grabbed one of the glasses before Kat could set it down onto the coffee table.
Bruce smiled at Kate as he moved forward from his position and grabbed a glass "Thank you"
"Sure thing, Doc." Kate smirked.
At that moment Steve came back inside and looked around. He took note of the tray that had glasses of lemonade.
"Thor left. Said he was going to try and get some information. Information he couldn't get here." He explained.
All the Avengers nodded in understanding.
They all began drinking their lemonade. Natasha was continuing in her petting of Lucky. Clint had sat down on the couch where he was soon joined by Bruce and Tony. Kate and Steve both remained standing. Kate fiddled with an arrow she had withdrawn from her quiver until a thought came to her.
"Soooo…. Clint…. Were exactly are you expecting everyone to sleep? I mean this house is only four bedrooms and we only have one couch… Or did you and Nat start sleeping together and forget to tell me?"
"KATE!" Clint yelled as his ears went pink. Natasha looked unfazed.
Tony gave a devilish smirk "You, I like you, Hawk-Girl."
"Hawkeye, Stark." Kate rolled her eyes as she corrected him but smirked back at him. "So, you gonna answer me or you gonna keep looking between me and Nat expecting her to rescue you from me?"
"Definitely like her" Tony whispered to Bruce. Bruce simply shook his head.
Clint glared at Tony before looking at Kate yet again "No, Kate. Nat and I are not sleeping together. But she is taking my room. I am going to bunk out in the barn."
At that Nat cut her eyes at Clint. Without a word she got up and stalked up the stairs.
"Aw shit…. " Clint got up "I am going to go and make sure she isn't too pissed at me… Probably make sure she is doing better after everything as well. Please everyone make yourself at home. Kate think you could throw a few frozen pizzas in the oven?"
Kate nodded as Clint lumbered up the stairs after Natasha.
When Clint disappeared into the upstairs hallway Kate began bustling about. She grabbed her bow and took her quiver off her back and then proceeded to toss both into a nearby closet. She then went into the kitchen and dug out three pizzas and turned the oven onto the appropriate setting. She then walked back into the living room where the other Avenger all sat looking mildly uncomfortable as they looked around the room.
"So. Tell me. Are they still being ridiculous and refusing to admit their feelings for each other?" Kate said bluntly as she sat down on the ground in front of them, her legs folded up underneath her.
"Wait, what?" Bruce asked confused. Tony laughed.
"Clint and Nat." Kate looked at them all expectantly "You know they have the hots for each other. Have had 'em for years. They just refuse to admit it."
Steve look bewildered "You think-" Kate interrupted "I don't think I KNOW" "That Clint and Natasha… have feelings for one another…"
Kate nodded "Well, yea. I mean do you see the looks they give each other sometimes? Half the time she looks at him like she wants to jump his bones right then and there." Bruce looked as though he was about to pass out.
"Yes! I totally see it!" Tony was grinning widely. "But unfortunately yes they are still not admitting anything to each other."
"Not cool." Kate rolled her eyes "Maybe I can trick them into doing something while you guys are here…" She looked thoughtful for a moment when an alarm sounded alerting her to the fact that the oven was done pre-heating "Nice chat, Avengers! I'm gonna go stick dinner in the oven."
The three men exchanged glances as Kate went into the kitchen.
Barely five minutes later, Kate was back with a pitcher of lemonade to refill their forgotten glasses. "Oh, by the way, Stark, our tractor broke down a while back and Clint is useless and that kind of crap so you think you could take a look?"
Tony look surprised but nodded as he sipped at the lemonade that was given to him.
