Running Late~ Hawksilver

AN: Love these ones. 

~Clint~

Deciding whether or not I wanted to go to work took longer than actually getting ready. I was getting tired and I needed a vacation. I decided to just go in late and accept the dirty look I got from Fury. I've been stuck doing paperwork, which is usually a blessing. Unfortunately, It was way too much paperwork. I had started falling behind a week ago when I was falling asleep whiel filling out paperwork. One bad decision to stay up a little late set me behind. Now I was staying later to finish. I got to work with dark circles and an attitude. I ignored the looks I got and closed the door to my office as soon as I got in. I started working right before my office door opened and Nat came in. "Morning sunshine. You look like shit" I hummed a response and she sighed. "We have a couple new people. Surprised you didn't notice" I nodded "I did, just haven't really paid attention to them. The twins right?". She nodded "Yeah, they're going with us tonight". I sent her a confused look and she pointed at the red paper on my desk. I read over the assignment and realized I had to be done before going with them or I'd have to come back to finish this. I huffed "Alright, I'll meet you down in the parking garage at 3". She nodded "Don't be late. It's a bad look". She sent me a warning and I nodded before I realized I had to get everything done in 9 hours. We would usually have long ass days. Lately, I haven't been able to take my usual days off. I had a lot I needed to get done. Fury usually hands me the assignments and paperwork he didn't trust with anyone else.

I leaned on my hand and continued working on the paperwork. It was noon the next time I checked back in to reality. I was hungry, but I was not about to take a break. I wiped my face to try and get the sleep to get off. I stayed until 3am last night and i'm running on an hour and a half of sleep. I didn't get into bed until 4 and woke up at 5:30 to come in at 6. I was getting run down and needed to sleep. I cracked back down and tried to finish up. Around 1:30 my eyes closed. I fought to open them, but I drifted off. I woke up in a panic and saw it was 2:50. I cursed and got up quickly I got down to the parking garage at 3:05 and Nat sent me an unimpressed look. I rolled my eyes "Shut up. I'm tired". I was going to have to come back tonight after we're done and finish everything. She sighed before introducing me to the twins "Pietro and Wanda this is Clint, the most overworked agent Fury has. He also runs on 99 percent caffiene and 1 percent sleep. Don't worry, you guys won't end up like this. Clint is just too good at what he does". I nodded with an eye roll "Uh huh, what exactly are we doing? I was not about to read that packet when I was trying to avoid coming in tonight to finish paperwork". She nodded "I'll explain on the way. Let's go". Nat gave me a run down of the simple mission as we drove. I refused to fall asleep since I was needed in this. 

She glanced at me "Do we need to stop for coffee?". She had that pity look and I shook my head "No it'll be fine". She gave me a doubtful look before she continued paying attention to the road. It was an hour long drive. It would take a couple hours to get everything done and an hour back. I'd say we will get back around 9 and I would hopefully get home at midnight. I could finally get some more sleep. She parked a couple blocks away from our target. "Wanda's with me and Pietro is with Clint" I saluted and led Pietro to one of the windows. It was up on the 4th floor and could be accessed beside the fire escape ladder. We would be going in from above while they were distracted by the two women that walked into the front. "Nothing will happen to my sister right?" I glanced at him and shook my head. "She'll be fine" I waited until I heard a bang before I broke the window. Thankfully, an alarm didn't go off. I went in carefully and motioned for him to follow. His footsteps were a little loud and I sent him a warning look. He nodded and quieted his footsteps as best as he could. It still wasn't good, but he was working on it. I pulled my bow from my quiver and extended the wire. he looked impressed as I grabbed an arrow and rested it against the wire. I stepped sideways to keep my movements steady. He watched and followed. I was impressed at how quiet he made his steps while going sideways. I put my arm across his chest as a couple guard passed.
