Life Happens

Sam

It was quite. Too quiet. Sam walked around aimlessly not knowing what to do with himself. He had spent the last fifteen minutes looking for signs of a life form that wasn't a S.H.E.I.L.D agent (if they could be considered a life form that is) but unfortunately he found none. He decided to make himself some lunch since it was mid afternoon and so he made himself a sandwich.

"This is the most crap looking sandwich ever." He said to himself.

"Clearly you haven't seen one made by Nats." Clint said as he entered the room. "Ask her to make a sandwich and you get  fist to the nose. It's not very pleasant. Speaking from experience I wouldn't recommend it." He said as he shuffled towards the coffee machine. He looked ruff. More than normal. His hair was all over the place, bruises covered his arms, he had a band aid across his nose and big bags under his eyes.

"Ruff night?" Sam asked as he sat down at the table.

"Ugh. Never go running through the trees at night it's a bad idea." Clint said as he rubbed his forehead.

"Huh, I never saw you as a Katniss kind of guy."

"That's because I'm clearly Gale." Clint laughed.

"No I always saw you as a Peeta actually." Sam laughed in return. Clint threw a scrunched up napkin at Sam and hit him dead on the nose. "Rude."

Clint sat opposite Sam "Isn't it nice?" Clint smiled as he placed his hands behind his head and leaned back. "No ones arguing, no kids shouting and no Tony flirting."

"To be fair the only people he flirts with are you and Steve."

"Buuuut he only really flirts with Steve. Him flirting with me is just banter."

"And Steve is still none the wiser."

"I know it's driving me up the fucking wall. How can you be so oblivious?"

"I'm pretty sure it's because his brain hasn't completely defrosted." The pair laughed.

"I'm afraid to interrupt but there has been a security breach." F.R.I.D.A.Y told the pair.

"Oh for God sake I've just sat down!" Clint said as he slammed his hand down on the table next to his coffee which caused a few drops to go over the top of the mug "My poor baby is going to go to waste."

"Don't worry I'll go it's probably just kids again." Sam laughed and ran to the locker room to get his stuff. "I'll patch you a feed so you can watch me whoop their asses." Sam shouted over his shoulder.

    ****

Sam circled around in the air trying to look for signs of a breach. He couldn't see anything along the perimeter of the compound.

"Clint I don't see anything. Looks like a false alarm." Sam said as he went to land. His feet touched the ground and he began walking to the door when a sensor trip went off on one of the storage buildings. "Scratch that I got something." He informed Clint. He flew around to the roof.

"What's going on down there Sam?" Clint asked him when he landed.

"I had a sensor trip but I ain't seeing anything." Sam replied as he scanned the roof. He looked all around the roof when something got picked up on. "Wait a second."

"Well shit. How did he manage that?" Clint said as he saw what Sam was looking.

"I can see you." Sam said not taking his eyes off the man. The man immediately grew up to normal size and removed his mask.

"Hi, I'm Scott." The man waved at Sam.

"Haha did he just say 'Hi I'm Scott'?" Clint laughed.

"What are you doing here?" Sam asked trying desperately not to laugh.

"First off... I'm a big fan."

"Appreciate it. So who the hell are you?" Sam asked in the same neutral tone.

"I'm Ant-Man." Scott replied.

Sam finally lost his composure and cracked a smirk. "Ant-Man?"

"What you haven't heard of me? No you wouldn't have heard of me." Scott seemed to literally cringe at his own words.

"You want to tell me what you want?"

"Was hoping I could grab a piece of technology just for a few days and then return it I need it to save the world you know how it is."

Sam looked around before replying. "Yeah I know exactly how it is." Sam lifted his arm up. "I'm bringing you in." Scott however, had other plans.

****

"Hahahahaha!" Clint laughed at Sam as he walked back into the kitchen. "You can watch me whoop their asses." Clint quoted Sam clutching his sides still laughing.

"Hey it was more difficult than it looked! I bet you would have missed him too!" Sam desperately tried to defend himself.

"Please. I never miss." Clint said as he started to calm down. "But I'm definitely saving that for blackmail later on."

"Come on man that's not cool." Sam said as he lowered his head into his hands.

"Calm down I doubt I'll ever use it and thanks for the laughs. I really needed it today." Clint smiled and left Sam alone.

"Repairs on the damage that you caused are currently underway they should be completed within two hours." F.R.I.D.A.Y told Sam.

"I didn't cause that! Scott did." Sam replied.

"Tell that to Mr Stark." Was the only reply he had gotten.

"Men in flying armour, super soldiers, deadly assassins, enhanced people with super speed and telekinesis and I have a backpack with wings. What even is my life?" Sam muttered as he went to his room. He needed a shower. A long, hot shower. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out and saw a text from Natasha.

[15:22] How's Clint?

[15:23] he's fine. Looked ruff a little earlier on but that's all

[15:25] well he had a ruff night. Keep an eye on him please? x

[15:26] sure :)

Natasha was worried. That was a rare occurrence. Sam lay on his bed wondering what happened last night for her to check up on Clint. Perhaps Clint wasn't being completely honest. "Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y can you tell me if anything happens to Clint?" Sam asked.

"Will do sir."
