The Fight You Couldn't Win

Chapter Two

As soon as you walked through the door of the tower, Jarvis spoke.

"Hello. Agent Barton, Mr Stark is waiting for you in the meeting room."

You turned to Clint.

"Could be you."

"We both know it's not."

"Come anyway?"

"Yeah, okay" Clint laughed. He and Natasha joined you as you went to the meeting room where Tony was waiting.

"God. Finally. Took you long enough."

"What do you want?" you frowned at him.

"I would like to talk about..." he started slowly. "How you fucked up that mission..."

"Okay. Long story short... I didn't."

"You didn't?"

"Nope."

"You were caught."

"I had it handled."

"Then why did you need us to come save your ass?!"

"I didn't need you to do anything!"

"You wouldn't have if you had called for backup like you were meant to! What were you thinking going in there alone?!"

"I was thinking I'm a well-trained agent who's pretty damn good at her job, and I could manage it on my own!"

"Obviously you were wrong! You're not strong enough to take on that many people!"

"I took on seventeen people, Stark, seventeen!"

"Good for you! Still doesn't mean you're good enough!"

"Really? You want me to prove it?! Let's go, me and you! Right now!"

Tony stood up from his chair at the other end of the room and you began to march towards him.

Unfortunately, Clint and Natasha stood in the way.

"As entertaining as that would be" Nat said. "It's been a long night. May I suggest you both get some rest, and I'm sure you'll forgive each other in the morning."

"Unlikely." / "Doubt it." You and Tony remarked simultaneously.

"Okay fine. You don't have to forgive each other, but just leave it" Clint said.

"Fine" Tony sighed.

"Oh look at you. Backing out so easily" you smirked. "Afraid to hit a girl, Stark?"

"You should really look in the mirror before you call yourself that."

"Bitch!" you cried and ran towards him. You knocked him down and pinned yourself on top of him. You were about to punch him when Clint came up behind you and pulled you off him.

You collapsed in a chair on the other side of the room, but your eyes fixed on Tony, still glaring angrily at him.

"You are so lucky nothing happened to you because if I had to cancel my party tomorrow, I would kill you myself." 

"Wow so kind" you commented, sarcastically of course.

"Okay, Tony, that was a little far" Natasha said.

"Yeah. I think you two need to apologise to each other" Clint added.

You both stood up and started yelling.

"Are you kidding?"

"I'm not apologising to him-"

"She attacked me-"
