Heat and Heart

Gone

~Two months later~

Tony had taken to following Clint around, dogging the Alpha's footsteps and wanting to be near him as Steve had gone on a long mission and had been out of the tower. The Omega needed someone to follow because Steve had gotten rid of the illegal suppressant and threatened to beat his bottom red if he ever took them again. Tony hadn't wanted to test that because he knew Steve probably would spank him.

Phil knew Tony just wanted to be near an Alpha and often welcomed the younger Omega to their floor to spend time together, knowing Tony would self destruct without guidance from an Alpha or an older Omega. Currently Phil was not home however due to unforseen circumstances and the sole responsibility for Tony landed on Clint as the other Avengers (except Steve who was undercover) were gone for two weeks.

"What are you doing?" Clint was staring at Tony who had clearly raided someone's closet and was wearing clothing that was too big. He raised one eyebrow, hands on his hips. Clint didn't mind that Tony wanted to be near him though.

"Working." Tony totally ignored the real question, working on his Starkpad and cuddling more into the sweater he had stolen from Steve. "Why? What are you doing?"

"Cmon. You need to go out for a bit." Clint lifted Tony and grabbed him a pair of shoes, heading to the car he had texted Happy about before embarking on his plan to get the Omega out of the tower. Tony had been cooped up for awhile and needed to go out, it wasn't healthy to be locked up like this. He ignored Tony's swearing and struggling as he put him in the car and got in next to him while Happy drove. "I WILL tell Steve that you are cursing and not listening."

"He's not my Alpha!" Tony attempted to bite Clint, snapping his teeth at the Archer's arm before having his face grabbed and being dragged across Clint's lap abruptly. "Hey!"

"I didn't want to do this but I will not tolerate the disrespect or biting." Clint smacked Tony on the bum, ten times on each cheek and twice in the middle. He released the upset Omega who curled into him pitifully, looking for forgiveness. "Are you going to be done being bad?"

"Yes, Alpha." Tony was cowed, having never thought Clint would actually punish him and feeling bad that he had made the other man upset enough to do it. He rested his head on Clint's chest and allowed the Alpha to put his shoes on him, being docile to make up for it.

"I hate punishing you but I won't be disrespected like that, Tony." Clint knew to keep talking to the upset Omega to let him know he wasn't angry with him. The misbehavior had been corrected and dealt with. "But it's over and done with now. You and I will have a good time, get lunch and do whatever else."

Tony just nodded, wondering to himself where he could get more suppressants without Steve finding out because he hated how he felt without them in his system. He was not fond of being made to bow down to the Alphas and wanted to be back in control of himself. To be the strong Tony Stark everyone knows.

Clint sighed and rubbed Tony's back gently, guessing the direction his thoughts had gone and deciding to distract him. "Where do you want to go for lunch?"

"Pizza." Tony mumbled, still looking downtrodden. He was also resentful, hating the mollycoddling and them all treating him like glass. His scent was fluctuating as his emotions did, worrying Clint a bit.

"Let's go to Piscary's then." Clint told Happy their destination and sat back to wait as Tony sulked in his lap. Clint spoke softly to Tony, trying to distract him and getting an "accidental" headbutt to the face. He scowled but didn't say a word, noting it to tell Steve when he gets home. He would let Steve deal with the punishments as Tony was not his Omega and he was already pushing it by spanking him once.

Steve had asked them to keep an eye on Tony. He hadn't set any boundaries regarding discipline though and that made Clint too uncomfortable to push more than one spanking.
