Building Tension- Clint Pt 1

The tension in the room was palpable as the Avengers assembled in the conference room at Stark Tower. You took a deep breath, trying to steady your nerves. Clint Barton was sitting directly across from you. His gaze flickered towards you now and then, each glance sparking a familiar thrill you tried to ignore.

Tony Stark, in his usual brisk manner, called the meeting to order. "Alright, team, we've got a lot to cover. Let's start with the latest intel from SHIELD." He leaned back in his chair, looking as composed as ever.

Natasha Romanoff spoke first. "We've got word that a new HYDRA cell is forming in Eastern Europe. We need to move fast before they gain more power."

Steve Rogers nodded. "Agreed. Bucky and I can handle the ground operation. We'll need aerial support from Clint and reconnaissance from you," he said, looking at you.

You nodded, trying to focus on the mission. "I'll gather the intel and report back."

Clint leaned forward, his eyes catching yours. "We should go over the details together. Make sure we're on the same page."

Your heart skipped a beat. "Of course," you replied, your voice steady but your pulse quickening.

Bucky Barnes, who had been watching the exchange with a knowing smirk, spoke up. "Looks like this mission's going to be more interesting than we thought."

Steve shot him a warning glance. "Focus, Bucky."

Tony interjected, trying to diffuse the tension. "Alright, lovebirds, save it for later. Let's get through this briefing."

Natasha chuckled softly, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Professionalism, Clint. Professionalism."

Clint rolled his eyes but couldn't hide a small smile. "Always, Nat."

The meeting continued, but your mind kept drifting back to Clint. His presence was magnetic, and you found it hard to concentrate. When the briefing finally ended, Tony clapped his hands together. "Alright, break into your teams and get to work."

You gathered your notes and made your way to the door, but Clint was already there, waiting. "Walk with me?" he asked, his voice low.

You nodded, following him out into the hallway. The rest of the team dispersed, giving the two of you knowing looks as they went their separate ways.

Clint led you to a quiet corner of the tower where you could talk without being overheard. "Listen," he began, "I know there's a lot going on, but we need to stay focused. This mission is important."

You nodded, trying to ignore the fluttering in your stomach. "I know. I'm ready."

He took a step closer, his expression serious. "It's not just about the mission. I care about you. I don't want anything to happen to you out there."

Your breath caught in your throat. "Clint, I..."

Before you could finish, the sound of footsteps interrupted. Natasha appeared, her eyes dancing with mischief. "Sorry to interrupt, but we need to go over the plan."

Clint sighed, stepping back. "Right. Let's do this."

The three of you went over the mission details, but the tension between you and Clint remained. It was a delicate balance, trying to focus on the task at hand while dealing with the emotions bubbling beneath the surface.

As the day wore on, you found yourself alone with Clint once more. He looked at you, his eyes softening. "I meant what I said earlier. I care about you. A lot."

You felt a warmth spread through you at his words. "I care about you too, Clint. But we need to be careful."

He nodded, understanding. "We will be. But that doesn't mean we have to ignore what we feel."

You smiled, reaching out to take his hand. "Agreed."

In that moment, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you and Clint would face them together. The mission was important, but so was the bond you shared. And you were determined to protect both.

The next few days were a blur of planning and preparation. The team worked tirelessly, each member contributing their skills and expertise. The mission loomed ahead, a daunting but necessary task.

The night before the mission, the team gathered for a final briefing. Tony was his usual confident self, cracking jokes to lighten the mood. Natasha and Steve were focused, their expressions serious. Bucky was his usual brooding self, but there was a glint of anticipation in his eyes.

Clint was by your side, his presence a comforting anchor. You exchanged a glance, a silent promise of support and protection.

As the meeting ended, Tony gave a final word of encouragement. "Alright, team. We’ve got this. Let’s show HYDRA what we’re made of."

The next morning, you found yourself in the Quinjet, the roar of the engines filling the cabin. Clint sat across from you, his bow and arrows at the ready. He gave you a reassuring smile, and you felt a surge of determination.

The mission was dangerous, but you were ready. With Clint by your side, you knew you could face anything. The romantic tension between you was undeniable, but it was also a source of strength.

As the Quinjet descended towards the HYDRA base, you took a deep breath, preparing yourself for the fight ahead. Clint reached out, his hand squeezing yours.

"We’ve got this," he said, his voice filled with confidence.

You nodded, feeling a surge of warmth. "Together."

And with that, the doors opened, and the Avengers leaped into action, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The mission was important, but so was the bond you shared with Clint. And no matter what happened, you knew you would face it together.
