CHAPTER ELEVEN.
COLD DEATH.

LOKI WAS SHOT FROM the sky and Alexios found so much amusement from it. Both Clint and Alexios watched Loki land on the tower and kept an eye on Natasha until she landed where she wanted. The Hulk roared as he also jumped to Stark tower, landing on top of Loki and throwing him through the glass.

"I feel like watching Loki get beat up the Hulk would a great Netflix show." Alexios shrugged. "Can I get Stark to fund it?"

"I don't work with streaming sites, sweetheart." Tony stated.

Alexios didn't get the chance to reply before her and Clint were fighting Centauri that had managed to gang up on them. Clint knocked the two down before noticing the large group coming towards them.

"Alright, we gotta hit the road." Clint told Alexios. He grabbed her by the wrist and stood in front of her near the ledge. He wrapped her arms around his waist before loading his bow again. "Trust me. When I say go, you go."

"Okay," Alexios muttered uneasily, tightening her grip around his body.

Clint jumped backwards, enticing a yelp from the blonde holding onto him. She shut her eyes in fear as he shot the bow, a grappling hook connecting securely into the concrete of the building. They swung towards the building and Clint shouted once they were feet away from the glass.

"Go!"

With the momentum from the swing, Alexios jumped from Clint and through the window. She rolled away as he did the same, landing on the shards of glass. She grunted in pain as she pushed herself and rushed to Clint, helping him to his feet.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah." He muttered, brushing the shards of glass from his biceps.

"I can close it!" Natasha spoke through the comms. "Does anyone copy? I can close the portal!"

"Do it!" Steve replied.

"No, don't!" Tony countered.

"Stark, these things are still coming." Steve warned.

"I've got a nuke coming in. It's gonna blow in less than a minute." Tony paused shortly, focusing on chasing the nuclear missile. "And I know just where to put it."

Alexios groaned, sharing a glance with Clint. He huffed, once again gently grabbing Alexios' wrist and taking off, dragging her with him. He dragged her towards the stairwell and they clambered down together.

Alexios nearly tripped over many different stairs, but Clint caught her each time. He threw a smirk her way.

"Gettin' a little clumsy there, Rhodes."

Alex scoffed, "You're about to be getting clumsy here in a minute, Barton." She snapped.

He only laughed and ran a little faster. Alexios was on his tail the entire time. By the time they reached the bottom of the stairwell on the main floor, she was out of breath. Clint turned around and sent another smile, but she scowled, shutting the archer up real quick.
