Avengers 2

Chapter 1

Something tickled her nose. By instinct, Natasha's hand shot up to grab her attacker but he had expected this reaction. He grabbed her arm and twisted it sideways causing her to flip over and land on top of his body. She opened her eyes.

"Good morning." Clint Barton said giving her the all to familar warm smile.

"Well this is one hell of a way to wake up." She snickered

They both shared a soft laugh. Natasha's head rested on Clint's bare chest. He started to stroke her head in silence, then satisfied himself by playing with her fiery red hair.

"Are you still thinking of going back?" he whispered

"It's been a month Clint... and Fury..."

"Nat, if Fury needs us he will find us." Clint reassured,

Natasha sighed

"Hey" Clint cupped her face with his hand "Maybe I can make you forget about this..."

He leaned closer and so did she. Heart pounded and eyes closed, they leaned closer in agonizing slowness. closer... closer... closer...

"ARRGGGGGGGG!!!!!"

Natasha's eyes snapped open just to see Thor bursting through the glass window sending glass flying in every direction. He landed in a graceful crouch before standing up to inspect his surroundings. In his hand holds the very same case and the glowing blue cube known has the tesseract.

"Thor... What the hell-?" Clint started

"Its Loki. He's not alone. There was a third party involved." Thor continued totally unaware of the fact that they were both in bed with nothing but undergarments on.

Natasha knew what it must have looked like but Thor didn't seem to have noticed. She hastily covered myself with the bed sheets and rolled off Clint to her own side of the bed.

"I have no doubt that Loki will come after Earth and this tesseract when he is united with his allies. The question is if his allies will find it before him." Thor replied in his godly voice

"Well hello to you too." Clint muttered obviously unamused

Thor's attention went from Clint to Natasha when realization finally hit him.

"Oh m'lady and m'lord I was unaware that I was... Interrupting." he said awkwardly

"You should be s-" Clint started but Natasha cut him off

"No it's fine we weren't... You know." She stammered, "Back to what you said about Loki?"

"Right... Loki will come after the tesseract again but not before his allies does."

"Then why did you bring the cube here?" she asked, "Earth can't defend itself against the other planets."

"That's not the word going around." Thor replied, "The Deadly Avengers are now known all over the 9 worlds. The word is out that Earth is ready for a higher form of war. I needed the tesseract to transport myself here... and to transport all of you to Asgard..."

"Wait a minute... Asgard? Dude no offense but you weren't so pleasant the first time around and I'm not intrigued about being on a planet full of you people." Clint snorted, sarcasm and bitterness laced his voice

"Wait... we should talk Fury first and alert the rest of the avengers." Natasha said jumping off the bed. She headed towards the bathroom to change.

When the door shut Clint jumped off his bed and gave an exasperated sigh.

"Way to let a brother down Thor!" he sighed as he put on his Hawkeye uniform

"Agent Barton, I don't believe we are... brothers." Thor stated uncertainly

"Not by blood." Clint replied, "Dude have you ever heard of the bro code?"

"What is this... Bro code?" Thor asked still confused

"You never interrupt a man while he was... Doing his thing, you know?"

"Doing his thing?"

"Yeah! You know, having some happy time!"

"Happy time?" Thor asked, "Oh you mean making love!"

Thor's voice boomed louder than expected. Clint gave a "hush" motion and looked over his shoulder to make sure the bathroom door was still closed.

"No we weren't... Making love..." Clint sighed rather embarrassed, "It's been 3 months and today was going to be our first kiss!"

"3 months?"

"Yeah since Loki left Fury gave us all a vacation and hasn't called us back yet. So I've been trying to get it going on with Nat. But that girl's shell is harder than a titanium wall."

"Titanium wall?"

"Look... Natasha... She's a very closed person. Almost robotic. For almost 10 years she has shown nothing for me more than a partnership. But after whatever happened with Loki... She seems to have changed. A bit anyway. It's more than I have hoped for but I-"

The bathroom door clicked open and a uniformed Natasha came out in her famous catsuit. Thor and Clint both just stared at her

"Ready to go?" Natasha asked already heading towards the door.

"Uh... Yeah!" Clint replied grabbed his bow and arrows before following behind Natasha. He stopped at the doorway and turned around.

"Hey!" he said to Thor, "Anything that was said, stays between me and you, got it?"

Thor seems to be confused at first but he gave a dramatic head nod.

"Got it" he replied with a strong Asgardian accent.
