If I Got Everything That I Wanted (Book 2 of Love, Monsters and Magic)

Chapter 10

 Dedicated to SilverRaine. She has this great story you should check out, it's called 'Crashed' and it's a Hawkeye/ Avengers fan fic. It's great.

* * * * * *

After leaving Morgan to settle in, I set off to find the team to inform them of the arrival of our newest team mate. I know that JARVIS would tell me where everybody was but I thought I could kill some time and try to find them myself. The team had only been here for a day or two, I couldn't be sure, (who cares anyway) but from what I had gathered, everyone had settled in fairly well.

I decided to ask JARVIS of everyone's whereabouts, I couldn't be bothered playing hide and seek with the Avengers. I turned my attention from our new team mate to my AI. “JARVIS?” I called out.

“Sir,” the AI chimed.

“Where is everyone? I have to organize dinner arrangements-” Clint dropped down in front of me, I stumbled back, and fought against myself not to let out the girliest scream imaginable. I still screamed but it just wasn't as undignifying. Clint landed in front of me, bouncing gently on his feet and grabbed my arm to stop me falling on my ass. “Jeez, Barton! You know I have a heart condition! You don't drop from the ceiling in front of someone with a- Wait, the ceiling? What the hell, Barton, where you doing on the ceiling?” I fell back against the wall trying to steady my breathing and creating a dramatic display out of clutching the arc reactor. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Natasha dropped down beside him sending my heart bouncing about my chest in a mad frenzy.

She grabbed Clint's shoulder and whispered to him, “Got cha'.”

“Stark screams like a girl,” Clint snorted. Natasha fought back a laugh.

“Why are you on my ceiling?” I cried. They laughed in reply.

“Well, for starters we weren't on your ceiling. We were in the air ducts.” Clint stated very matter-of-factly.

“Why were you in the air ducts?!” I shrieked. There's a lesson to be learned here; Don't scare the shit out of the billionaire. They have weak hearts. “Is this some kind of super secret spy thing? Is what you all do? Crawl about in air ducts all day?”

“Relax, Tony. We were playing Hide And Seek, y'know, that game most children played at one point in their lives?” Natasha teased.

“In my air ducts?!”

“Calm down, you're acting as if you just walked in on us having sex in your Bugatti.”

“Clint,” Natasha warned. “Look at his face, you may as well have just kicked a puppy.” She mumbled to him, “I think you touched a nerve.”

“You did what in my Bugatti?! Jeez! That's fu-”

“Tony, we didn't, well, we might-”

I cut in, waving my arms around dismissively. “Don't ruin the innocence of my poor car. That's my baby. You don't have sex on top of babies.” I deadpanned.

“You did what to a baby?” Came a voice from along the corridor. Rogers. “I thought Pepper had that talk with you about sexual harassment lawsuits? Did you not listen? Wow, Tony I thought you were capable of a lot of things but that-”

“Well this conversation has taken a turn for the worst,” I mumbled. “I never done anything to a baby. You missed the conversation, Cap, you have no idea what has been said. ” I tried to reassure him.

He looked horrified. Natasha and Clint, however, were doubled over in fits of hysterical laughter, although I have no idea how they could find screwing each other in my Bugatti even remotely funny.

“It's okay, Steve, he never,” Tasha choked between laughs. “Clint and I were in the air ducts playing tag and we scared Tony, and Clint,” she jabbed a finger into Clint's gut, “decided now would be the best time to tell him that we had sex in his Bugatti.” Steve turned this wonderful shade of pink that almost made this whole charade worth it. Almost.

“Jeez, Nat, way to deadpan it.” Clint rolled his eyes.

“Look at the colour of him! JARVIS, what colour is that?”

“Coral pink, sir.”

“You did- in Stark's car?” Steve managed. He looked like his innocence had just been pulled viciously out of his grasps, he looked like, as Natasha had put, as if Clint had just kicked a puppy. Totally worth it.

“For that Barton, you can have the car. I don't want to even think about the going ons that happened in there. The keys JARVIS can give you, just- you are never allowed to drive any of my cars again.” Clint's face lit up like light. “He's like a kid on Christmas.”

“Sir, it should be brought to your attention that Agent Barton, Agent Romanoff and Captain Rogers are all in proximity. You should take this opportunity to speak with them.”

“Oh, yeah, thanks, JARVIS. I wanted to get you all together for dinner tonight, we don't need to go out, we can stay in the tower- either way is an opportunity to get drunk- but you have to meet our new team member.” I told them. They all looked visibly confused. A barrage of questions was stop my way.

“New team member?”

“Is it a girl?”

“Is she an archer?” Clint received a punch in the gut for that one.

“Fury sent her over today, her names Morgan. Her IQ almost matches mine and she is smart like scary smart. She's Natasha's replacement but she's under my watchful eye.”

“Oh, God Tony, don't do anything outrageously stupid or anything you wouldn't do. Don't make me get Pepper to have that talk about sexual harassment lawsuits with you again.” Steve groaned.

“Yeah, yeah, right. I know the speech by heart. So dinner? Make her feel welcome and what not?”

“Sure, sounds good. Maybe we should make it a night kept within the towers? We don't want to scare her with all the PR, plus Pepper would freak if we let you go out and get wasted. Again.”

“Hey, I had all of my finest Scotch whiskey taken off of me for a month after that, it wasn't even my idea! You guys let Thor take me out drinking. I mean sure I can drink my fair share, but Thor got me so drunk I couldn't even remember my own name.”

“We do remember the night well, Tony. You crawled into bed with Cap.” Natasha reminded me, and Steve went uncomfortably silent.

“Yeah, don't remind me. So, dinner at around six? No, make it seven. If you see the rest of the team let them know too and if you see Pepper tell her I'm looking for her.”
