I'll fight for you (Clintasha)✔️

☆☾9☽☆ Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D I

The next day happened to be a public holiday so Clint went to visit Natasha at her house.

"Natasha, I want to take you somewhere."

She raised an eyebrow.

"It's my workplace, actually."

Natasha almost burst out laughing.

"Are you sure? You won't even tell me what you work as, will your boss allow me to go there and discover all his secrets?" She replied sarcastically.

"Actually, he told me to invite you." Clint scratched the back of his neck.

Natasha widened her eyes a tad bit, then nodded silently.

They took off on Clint's S.H.I.E.L.D motorbike. Natasha wrapped her arms round Clint's torso and rested her head on his back, letting the wind comb through her hair. This reminded her of her first motorbike ride with Bucky.

At S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, Clint parked his motorbike in the underground carpark and they took the elevator up to the seventh floor.

Natasha stared at everything with wide-eyed wonderment, from the big impressive building to the high tech fingerprint scanners and professional-looking people in black and blue uniforms. The atmosphere was steely, mainly because of the dull colours of the compound and professional attitudes of the people who walked swiftly with upright postures. Natasha clung on to Clint's arm as they walked.

Then they neared the lounge and the atmosphere changed. It was where the trainees and lower level agents gathered.

Clint greeted and waved to a few of his acquaintances. Natasha just looked shyly at everyone as she felt utterly out of place.

A group of young male recruits walked by and whistled at her. They reminded her of Joseph and his gang back at high school and she shivered slightly, tightening her grip on Clint's arm. He noticed.

"You're scaring my girl, Jonas." Clint joked.

"Aw sorry Agent Barton." Walking backwards, Jonas held his hand to his temple and gave a fake apologetic expression before waving at Clint.

Clint chuckled and waved back.

"Don't worry, Sweetheart. The people here are nice." He placed his hand on hers.

They then walked past Coulson.

"Hey Phil." Clint greeted him.

"Hello Clint, and hello young lady. You must be Natasha, the girl that Clint can't stop telling me about." Coulson held out his hand towards Natasha with a smile.

She shook it and gave a small smile.

"Natasha, this a Phil Coulson, one of my good friends here. He was my mentor when I first came. He's almost like a dad to me." Clint introduced and Coulson grinned.

"Director Fury's waiting." Coulson said, gesturing down the hallway.

Clint nodded and took Natasha's hand as they continued down the hallway to a more secluded area. There were fewer agents and it was dimly lit.

They reached an elevator and Clint scanned his finger and eye before the door opened to allow him access.

This was the elevator that gave access to the higher floors that needed greater clearance and lead to Fury's office. In the past when Clint was still a low level agent, Coulson had to accompany him.

Clint knocked and heard a 'come in' from the other side. They entered and Clint greeted Fury.

Natasha seemed slightly intimidated by the bald, dark-skinned man with an eyepatch, and tried to hide herself behind Clint.

"Nice to meet you, Ms Romanoff." Fury said, leaning forward and folding his arms on the table top.

Natasha looked to Clint, not knowing what to say.

"He's my boss, but don't let him terrify you, he's actually quite a softy." Clint whispered.

"Agent Barton, I may only have my vision through one eye, but I can assure you my ears are sharp as hell."

Clint nodded and acted innocent. Fury rolled his eye.

"Ms Romanoff, I have invited you here today-"

Fury was interrupted by the door sliding opening.

"I'll speak with you later, Agent Morse." He said to the blonde that had entered.

"I'm sorry, Director." Agent Morse apologised and turned to leave. She nodded at Clint when she passed him but her eyes darted to the red head he had his arm around.

Director Fury directed his attention back to Natasha and Clint.

"As I was saying, you are here today as S.H.I.E.L.D is offering you protection, on the basis of your relationship with Agent Barton."

"Protection...from what?" She asked meekly.

"A serial killer going after red headed females." The Director replied flatly.

Natasha gasped softly and looked up at Clint.

"Hey, you'll be okay. With me and S.H.I.E.L.D, no one will harm you." He assured her and squeezed her hand.

After their meeting with Fury, Clint brought Natasha to the cafeteria for lunch.

"I had no idea you worked as...as a spy, an agent." Natasha said as she twirled the stirrer around her tea.

"That's because S.H.I.E.L.D is a top secret organization. I didn't mean to keep it from you, I feel bad too." He reached out over the table top to hold her hand, feeling slightly guilty.

"I just didn't expect my boyfriend to have such a noble job, protecting the world and all. I'm so proud of you." Natasha grinned and squeezed his hand.

Clint grinned back and kissed her hand.

"You are so understanding. I was afraid you'd be mad at me." Clint splayed her slender fingers out on his large palm.

They looked at each other, the world closing in on them for just a fleeting second.

Their moment was briefly interrupted.

"Hey Clint. Who's this here?" Agent Morse stopped by their table holding a cup of tea. Please let it be his sister, please let it be his sister, she mentally crossed her fingers and hoped, although it was highly unlikely, you know, red hair, green eyes and all. Cousin then, or maybe she dyed her hair and is wearing contacts. Yes, Bobbi was that desperate.

"Oh hi Bobbi, this is Natasha, my girlfriend."

Bobbi's heart sank as Natasha greeted her with a smile.

"Sweetheart, let me show you that amazing archery range I told you about!" Clint said excitedly, getting up from his seat and taking Natasha's hand. They waved goodbye to Bobbi while she returned it with a forced smile.

Staring at the leaving couple with interlocked hands, Bobbi's eye twitched with frustration and anger.
