Survival Of the Fittest (Hawkeye Fanfiction)

Chapter 13: Troubles at a Party (Hawkeye)

Fulvus stood, feeling ridiculous in his outfit. He was dressed as a horse, a Pegasus to be precise. It would go well with Clint's Robin Hood outfit. He looked great while Fulvus thought that he just looked ridiculous. However, Clint seemed excited so it wasn't like Fulvus was going to say anything. He would suck up looking like a giant horse for a few hours. Plus Clint had promised him that there would be other agents like him, or at least other animals.

"Ready," inquired Clint as he made the final tweaks to his fake bow.

Fulvus gave a nod. He was as ready as he was going to go. "Do you think that this is a good idea? I don't want to make a fool out of myself."

"You won't," assured Clint as he patted Fulvus between the ears. "I'm sure you're going to be fine and I'll be right beside you. No one will think you look stupid if you're standing next to Robin Hood."

Fulvus rumbled in appreciation before he strode toward the door, trying not to touch anything since he was still a bit wet from the pain that Clint had painted on him to make him look like a horse. Clint strode alongside him and Fulvus noticed how quiet everything seemed to be. He knew that it was probably just because everyone was at the party of attending the party. Again, more nervousness claws inside of him.

They strode to where loud music was booming and Fulvus had an idea that this was where they were supposed to be. Clint opened a door and Fulvus saw orange and purple lights along with erie music. So this was halloween.

"Come on," Clint urged as he rested a hand on Fulvus's shoulder. "It's not that scary. It's not like anyone is going to compare you to a real horse."

Fulvus gulped as he saw some agents who were animals walking around. They were all normal with tails, paws, and claws but he didn't see anything like himself. He saw a lot of dogs, or were they wolves. He had no idea. He hadn't met that many other animals so he wasn't sure how they'd react to him.

"Look," exclaimed Clint as he looked to see Albus who was dressed as griffin with fake wings and extremely long talons. Fulvus rumbled in amusement about what his mother had done.

"I'll be right back," he told Clint before he lumbered forward and stopped in front of Albus.

Albus turned with bright eyes. "Fulvus! I didn't even recognize you," she exclaimed as she touched her forehead to Fulvus's sharp beak.

Fulvus snorted. "I don't look that different. Clint helped me become his steed since he's Robin Hood. I didn't really want to come but he said it would be fun."

Albus nodded. "This is one of the only times that they let me out. Now that they implanted it in me the thing in you that makes you talk they trust me more, but not enough."

Fulvus nodded but as he turned his head he saw a beautiful she-dog or wolf striding forward. She had beautiful white and gray with striking blue eyes. She was dressed as an angle with a halo appearing above her head, glowing golden yellow when the sun's rays caught it. Beside her was a women who kept lowering down to speak with her and she was speaking back. Fulvus couldn't help but be in awe.

"Pick up that jaw," snapped Albus and Fulvus quickly obeyed, realizing that he was staring and his beak had been gaped open in awe.

"S-Sorry," stammered Fulvus as he shook his head to clear it. "It's just, she's so-"

"No need to explain it to me," interrupted Albus as she shook her head and her wings shifted on her back. "Why don't you go talk to her?"

Fulvus shook his head. "She's way out of my league. Anyway, I'll see you later. I'm going to find Clint," he told her before he left his mother and found Clint drinking some punch.
