An Arrow and A Knife

Chapter 5: I See Red

Loki's POV:

Loki walked down the street of New York as he admired the beautiful sunset. Pulling out his cell phone, he scrolled through his 3 contacts, Big Idiot, Bigger Idiot, and Julia.

Julia had told him that he could call her Julie, but he wanted a special name for her that no one else had.

He pushed on Big Idiot as it began to dial out.

"Hello," Thor answered cheerfully.

"Are you busy, brother?"

"Not at all, just about to leave Midgard."

"You remember those groups I attend to help cope with my villainess past?"

"Yes?"

" I have an awful feeling that one of the men who attend is up to something tonight. Something about robbing a charity." Loki lied through his teeth.

"Do you have a name?"

"Yes and I have all his aliases."

"Send it to me, I will let Tony know as well. We may need some help on it."

"I'd love to help brother but I don't want the group to think I betrayed them. I really do feel like these classes are helping and don't want to be turned away like a pariah." Loki rolled his eyes as he looked around.

"I understand that and respect it brother, I'll have Romanoff and Barton if they can assist us tonight."

"Let me know if there's anything else I can do ."

Loki hung up the phone as an evil smile spread across his face.

Clint's POV:

Clint slipped on his velvet black jacket as he sprayed on some Díor cologne. Giving himself a one over glance from the mirror.

He litterly had butterflies, he couldn't remember the last time he went on a date.

He picked up his phone as he had an unopened message from Jules. He opened it to see a photo of Jules sitting on the edge of her bed, taking a photo of the reflection in the mirror. She wore a tight red dress and black heels that tied around her ankle.

She had straightened her hair and it cascaded down her body, longer than usual.

Clint smiled at the photo, imaging stripping off that dress at the end of the night. Just as he was going to put his phone away, Nat's name came up. He swiped as he answered the call.

"What's up Nat?"

"We have to follow a lead tonight on a potential threat."

"What? What lead?"

"I am not sure, Tony just needs us. He already called Steve and Bucky in. But they need someone covering the east side."

"Tonight though? And it's not even a for sure thing? It's potentially a bad guy?"

"I'm sorry Clint, but you weren't the only one with plans tonight."

Clint cursed under his breath as he hung up. He was about to dial Jules but decided against it, he pulled up his text messages as he began to type away;

Hey sorry work thing popped up last minute. Raincheck, beautiful?

Julie's POV:

Julie held her phone in her hand as she read the text message she had gotten from Clint.
