The cold wind nipped at your nose as you stood frozen behind a large tree. Little to say the least, everything that was happening around you was chaotic. Taking a breath, you focused your attention on the intercom listening to the many voices that shouted in your earpiece.
"S*it!" You heard Tony yell out. Before you could say anything Steve's voice took over.
"Language!" You chuckled at Steve's remark, "JARVIS, what's the view from upstairs?"
"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other Hydra base we've taken." JARVIS responded.
You had been working with the Avengers since after the attack in New York. You were skilled in many types of combat and with Natashas help, you had been able to help out with the Avengers lately.
"Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last." Thor spoke clearly.
"At long last is lasting a little long, boys." You nodded in agreement to Nat as she continued to take out other guards.
As the others disbursed, you ran over to another tree closer to Clint. The two of you began to take out guards as the others infiltrated the Hydra base.
"Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise." He said whilst hiding behind his tree.
"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said 'language?'" Tony asked, ignoring the task at hand. You could hear a sigh from the intercom.
"I know.." There was a pause before Steve finished, "It just slipped out."
"Don't worry old man, we get it, from now on, watch the language." You added on, teasing Steve.
Between the fighting and constant conversation that went back and forth between Tony and Jarvis you rarely noticed when something sped by knocking Clint off of his feet.
"Clint!" You yell as you go running over to him.
"You didn't see that coming?" The man who just knocked Clint over spoke. You stood enamored by him, then he left just as soon as he came by. As you tried to understand what just occurred, Clint yelled and fell down once again in pain.
"Sh-!" You stopped yourself, knowing well that The Star-Spangled Man with a plan would criticize you.
"Clint!" Natasha yelled as she ran over. You ran over to Clint's side in shock.
"We have an enhanced in the field," Steve said.
"Clint's hit!" Natasha yelled as she slid over to Clint's side as well, "Somebody wants to deal with that bunker?" Just then Hulk came by per her request, "Thank you." She began to apply pressure to where Clint was hit and looked up at you, whispering so only you two could hear, "Y/N, what the hell happened?!" You could only look back at her in shock. Why didn't you warn him about the bunker?
You shook your head and began to help her. As the others talked over the com you tried to map out everything that had just happened.
"Clint's hit pretty bad, guys. We're gonna need evac." Natasha stated again to the guys.
You were pulled back to reality only to hear, "And for gosh sake, watch your language!" From Tony. If this was said in a different situation, you might have actually laughed.
"That's not going away anytime soon." Steve sighs.
Once at the Avengers tower you followed the small group as Maria walked over to Tony.
"What's the word on Strucker?" Steve asked her.
"NATO's got him."
"The two enhanced?"
"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building. Sokovia's had a rough history. It's nowhere special but it's on the way to everywhere special."
"Their abilities?"
"He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neural electric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation." So that was his name. After a weird look from Steve, Maria restated what she said, "He's fast and she's weird."
"Well, they're going to show up again." Although you knew whose side he was on, you were looking forward to when you would meet again.
~Time Skip~
After finally defeating Ultron, you all headed back to the new Avengers Facility, some of you in better shape than the others. You watched as they checked Pietro for any bullets that might have hit him. While trying to help save Clint and a small boy, he grabbed them and moved them out of the way in time only to be grazed by a bullet. One thing hasn't changed since you've met. You still couldn't take your eyes off of him. And though he might have flirted with you a few times through the intercom, you really didn't know how he felt about you. You worked up all the courage you could to walk through the medical doors. When you did you were met by his show-stopping smirk and chuckle.
"Are you okay?" You asked not knowing what to say at the moment.
"It's only a scratch. Did you really think a couple of bullets were going to stop me?" He asked jokingly.
"As a matter of fact..." You looked off thinking about the worst that could have happened. You felt his hand wrap around yours and you brought your eyes up to meet his.
"Don't worry. I wasn't going to go down that easily," He then smirked, "You were worried about me hm?" You tried not to roll your eyes due to the serious matter of this situation, but you sighed.
"Look, I like you a lot. And I know we haven't had much time to talk due to, well, Ultron trying to take over the world, but maybe now that that's over with, I was thinking that we could go catch a movie or maybe get some coffee?" As you said this, he smiled and nodded.
"I'll do you one better, would you be my girlfriend?" His words shocked you, but you knew that you liked him a lot.
"Why not." You smiled.
