Clint's Death Contraption

▸ Astral Plane - Valerie June

Mrs. O'Leary jumped out of the shadows from a tree, walking next to an airplane of sorts. The door was lowered to the ground and Clint Barton was leaning against the metal wall. Jumping off of the hellhound, I gave her a goodbye kiss on her nose and told her to go home. After she disappeared back into the shadows, I walked up to Clint.

"About time. I was about to get started without you." Clint looked at me. He waved me over as he started to walk towards the Avengers' compound. "Did you get Scott Lang's location?"

"Yeah, he lives in an apartment in San Francisco. I've got the address written down on a sticky note." I informed him. "So what's the plan here?"

"We're going to go to the housing part of the compound and get Wanda. She's going to help us...hopefully." Clint said as he typed in the passcode to the building. A green light and a beep from the device opened the door for us.

"Hopefully?" I questioned. We jogged up the stairs until we came to an area that seemed to be a balcony type hallway.

"Yeah, hopefully. She doesn't know what's really going on and Tony has her under house arrest." Clint reached towards his back and took out his bow and an arrow. Notching an arrow, he aimed somewhere further into the woods away from the airplane.  Hawkeye let go, the arrow finding its target. "C'mon. We better start heading towards the housing before it explodes."

"Your arrow explodes?" I raised an eyebrow as we started to run to the housing section.

"Yeah, where do you think the Apollo kids got their exploding arrows?" Clint smirked as we turned a corner.

"That was you!? No way! Those are a life saver." I whispered in excitement.

"You're welcome." Clint nodded as a big boom sounded. "And that's are cue. You ready?"

"Let's go." I nodded. We slowed down, stealthy walking in through an opening of a room.  There were two humans standing in front of a window before was phased through it to go see the big explosion Clint had made. The clinging of metal echoed throughout the room as the girl turned around. A glowing red knife came hurdling towards Clint before it halted.

"Guess I should have knocked." Clint said, gently pushing the knife away from his face.

"Oh, my God!" The girl, Wanda I'm assuming, let out. She started to walk toward us. "What are you doing here? And who's she?"

"Disappointing my kids." Clint walked towards her, pulling another arrow out of his quiver. He started to fire arrows around the room, locating them for the trap for the other guy that phased through the window.

"While you're doing that, I'm disappointing my boyfriend." I sighed, pushing the argument I had with Stiles out of my mind. Wanda gave me a confused expression. "Oh, sorry. I'm Nevah. I'm friends with Steve and Clint...but more Steve."

"I heard that." Clint let out, firing another arrow.

"Good, 'cause we don't know each other that well and you still owe me answers." I chided.

"And I told you I'll answer them while we're travelling." Clint rolled his eyes. Shaking his head, he went back to talking to Wanda. "I was supposed to go water skiing. Cap needs our help. Come on."
