Pizza Strife

4: Hero

"Hey Clint!" Tony called catching him on the way past the lab.

"Yep?" Clint asked turning to him.

"I've hacked it."Tony explained lifting the USB. "You should probably see the message."

Clint was quick to follow.

Tony's computer loaded it up.

To Clint.

AIM.

Location Antarctic.

Building something dangerous.

Send back up.

Be careful.

Laura

"Okay, so your favourite agent just got herself caught." Tony frowned. "How are you going to take this?"

"I'm going to go and get her." Clint decided soaking in the words of the message.

What was AIM up to?

"Yeah I know that." Tony said shaking his head. "I'm asking what and who you need."

"You available?" Clint asked curiously.

Tony shook his head. "I've got some things to work through with Banner, the type of things that don't go away easily."

Clint nodded. "Might not be easy going at it alone."

"I'm sure you'll find someone to go with you." Tony admitted as he stood up. "What else do you need?"

"Gear, spy stuff." Clint shrugged. "Not entirely sure, but thermals, definitely."

"Going somewhere cold?" Steve asked as he entered the lab.

Clint smiled slightly.

"I'm going to get Laura, she got taken on a mission, a couple of weeks ago, she sent this to me."

"Do you know who took her?"

"AIM." Tony explained. "You in?"

Steve nodded crossing his arms. "You think this will be an easy mission?"

"I doubt it." Clint sighed running a hand through his hair. "But I have to go get her."

"Well I'm happy to come." Steve said gently. "If that's okay with you?"

Clint smiled.

If Cap was worried about encroaching on Clint's mission to save Laura then he was wrong.

Clint wanted the back up, needed it really.

So he nodded.

"Yeah."

Steve checked over his gear as the SHIELD jet flew them towards their drop zone. He had everything he needed and felt comfortable with the plan they had.
