#a widow and hawk trying to kill each other and then teaming up

[gattaxa]

"I've got your next target. I thought I'd hand-deliver it. Maybe you'd like a shot at the woman working with Wilson Fisk and who's responsible for keeping the Red Room alive." Or: A Black Widow assassin keeps trying to kill her. Kate's in love.

Marvel Avengers Streamer AU

Ironman- Know as Tony Stark, but his  friends always call him “Stark” and “Mr. Stark.” Most famous streamer out of the gang and always raids “Spideyboy”. Swears like a sailor, rage quits, slams his desk, and his mods hate him, but he has pretty serious streams about political matters and his personal life. Everyone loves the relationship he has with Spiderman, calling him “Iron dad”. 

IncredibleHulk- Bruce Banner or but mostly known as just “Hulk”. Barely streams and games but when he does everyone loves his tactical thinking even if he isn’t the best with his controls. He is sweet and calm until he gets knifed behind his back, that's when he starts verbally abusing the enemy (much to Widows chagrin). No one knows what he looks like but they assume he has a dad bod and lives alone in the country. 

GodOfThunder- No one knows his real name but everyone calls him “Thor” because of the Norse God. He always does drinking streams and his fans love it because he just gets more sarcastic and passive aggressive and actually starts playing better than when he’s sober. He plays the same female character over and over and never hesitates to go out of his way to make someone in chat feel better or show his support for current events. 

CaptianAmerica- Steve Rogers. Known as “Rogers” but his friends (Stark especially) call him Cap. Everyone hits on him during his streams and he had to block donations from certain thirsty girls and didn’t turn on his face cam for a month when it got really bad. People think something is going on with him and his roommate because they flirt the entire game, but he assures them they’re just bestfriends. Is one of the best gamers but he lets himself get distracted easily by “Bucky Bear” and sucks at sniping but is incredible with a knife and close range combat. He never swears and always tells Tony off for his profanity and his fans love him for being the “mom friend” in the group. 

WinterSoldier- James “Bucky” Barnes. Everyone calls him “Bucky” or “Buck” or “Barnes” but Steve always calls him “Bucky Bear”. He does most of the flirting with Steve (very explicitly at times!) and jokingly never denies that they are dating (which they secretly are) and tells the flirts in chat to fuck off of his boyfriend. Best sniper known on Twitch but his melee skills are sub-par, which makes him and Steve and unbeatable team. He’s the known gay friend and he does a lot of cooking and shopping streams where he does many “suggestive” poses which makes the chat go nuts when Steve gives an equally suggestive reaction. Known for screaming and his chaotic streams where he makes stupid inside jokes that his Discord server spams for fun.  

TheFalcon- Sam Wilson, or just “Falcon” at times. Also flirts on Bucky but in a way that is so bad everyone knows he’s actually joking. Always dies when he has the best gun on him by someone overhead after getting it from the enemy his teammate had killed after backing them up. Surprisingly a good player when he has his head in the game, but he’s usually making jokes and trying to get Natasha to laugh when she’s focused, making him a known comfort streamer when people just want to chill and not watch something so chaotic.  

BlackWidow- Natalia “Natasha” Romanov known as “Nat” or “Widow”. Easily the most badass out of all of them and has popular tweets tagging her due to snarky remarks and creative insults. Incredibly amazing gamer and communicator with her team, even if she’s quiet for most of stream and letting her friends do most of the talking for her. She goes off in Russian when someone (by whatever miracle) kills her or there’s a creep in chat, but she always makes sure to thank her donators and mods. 

YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderman- Peter Parker but no one has every called him by his first name. Names include “Spideyboy”, “Spiderkid”, “Webs”, “Kid”, “Parker”, etc. Is incredibly polite to all of the adults he plays with, always using their last names and their respected titles. He’s the youngest out of all of them, but his aunt is surprisingly chill with it, appearing in his streams and dancing with him when a song comes on. He loves playing storyline choice games, even if he has great hand-eye coordination for combat. Chat always compliments him and makes flirtatious jokes, which he responds to with, “I’m a minor?” and an awkward laugh. Thanks his donos a million times and texts a thank you paragraph to Mr. Stark and his other friends when he gets raided. He also plays with his friends his age, but gets the most views when he’s with the adults. He studies the logistics of a game and explains in a nerdy depth what is wrong with the science of the plot but then feels bad when he’s belittling the work of the programmers. 

Hawkeye- Clint Barton or just “Hawk” or “Hawky”. You can hear his wife and kids in the background of his streams. He lives at a farm so he rarely ever goes online, but when he does around an hour is spent trying to overcome connection issues. Is great with using snipers up close, but sucks at knives and pistols. Is a great friend to Nat and they can communicate online without saying a single thing because they have each others streams pulled up and focused on their face-cams. Rarely ever talks but when he does its something incredibly funny or snarky.

Dear Creator Letter

Under the Cut!

First of all thank you so much for taking on my prompts, I’m looking forward to seeing whatever it is you create for me!

Okay, general DNWs:

Racism, homophobia, misogynistic language, incest or pseudo incest, sexual content outside of what would be canon appropriate, pretty much every kink going, imbalanced power dynamics, soulmates, rape, animal or child abuse, animal death, AUs (coffee shop, no powers, highschool/uni etc), Avengers Endgame-Complaint fics.

Now onto my Do Wants

Found family, angst with a happy ending, casefics, bisexual ladies coming to their bisexuality later in life, bisexual ladies who knew all along, bisexual ladies who chose men over women (a given for this event), AUs that take canon and make it a little different.

My writing on AO3 is a good indication of what I like, and feel free to check out my tumblr for a good idea of my kind of jam.

Fandom Specific (honestly though these are just prompt ideas. If you have something else in mind go for it)

MCU

I’m not a big fan of Endgame, or most of Infinity War, so if you want to go ‘to hell with this, everyone lives’ then I am more than okay with that. If you want Thanos to have been killed shortly after GOTG2 because Nebula tracked him down and stabbed him in the dick until he died from it then I’m also okay with that.

Carol/Maria - I’d love something pre-canon with these two. Their backstory is so interesting, especially when you factor in they were co-parenting and dating under DADT. I’d also love lots of interactions with Monica&Carol and Mar Vell and Carol. if you want to go for a casefic then, since I do love Natasha, Carol vs a Red Room Loyal Black Widow?

Carol/Valkyrie - Anything post-Ragnarok with the Asgardians (all of them, even the dead ones. Canon is dead and we killed it) on Earth, Would love: a lot of Carol interacting with the Revengers and Valkyrie interacting with literally any female characters because the MCU is bad at that.

Sarah/May - So much potential with these two. Blended families! Second loves! Dating while older and with kids!  I know Sambucky is a logical sistership to this pairing but I’m not a fan of that ship.

Dragon Age

Cassandra/Literally Any Of The Female Protagonists - Big fan of ‘Cass should’ve been bi’ so I’d like something exploring this. I’d like something set during DAI (so after the death of her boyfriend) with Cass coming to realisations about her sexuality. However you want to write the Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor is fine but my preference is for Surana, Sarcastic/Aggressive mage!Hawke and mage Adaar. I don’t like Anders so if you ever want to throw in some Anders hate then I’m fine with that.

Josie/Bela - I’d love something post-DAI with Josie taking Bela home to meet her family, or Josie as a member of Bela’s pirate crew (and putting her diplomatic skills to good use)

Marquis of Serault/Well Read Pig Farmer - I just want anything involving my favourite former Tevinter magister.

Fire Emblem

Three Houses - my preference is for the Crimson Flower route, but if you want to go the angst route of Byleth and El are fighting against each other then Golden Deer is my favourite path. I also love AUs where the three Lords (or four, counting Yuri) team up with each other to fight against TWSITD. Other than that I have no preferences for what you want to do with any of the ships.

Blazing Blade - I’d love to see post FE7, pre-FE6 stuff, with Lyn and Florina being involved in their friends’ lives. Lyn teaching Roy swordfighting, Florina teaching Lilina how to ride a Pegasus. Plus, lots of interacting with Farina and Ninian (especially if you want to build on the Ninian and Florina friendship). Or if you want to do what they were up to during FE6 I’d love that too.

Awakening - No preferences here.

Resident Evil

Rebecca/Claire - AU where Rebecca is still in Racoon City and teams up with Claire and Sherry? Vendetta AU where Claire is there too? Chris and Jill are getting married and neither Claire or Becca have dates and go together? I don’t really mind. For RE2 canon I prefer the 1998 storyline (Claire A/Leon B) but if you only know the remake then that’s fine, or if you want to mix canons that’s also fine. For past relationships I love the angst Burnfield gives Claire but Billy and Rebecca I see as completely platonic.

Jill/Ada - Normally I’m a strictly Valenfield and Aeon kind of woman but I have a weakness for this ship. Jill is heavily associated with the colour blue, has blonde or brown hair depending on the game and is completely on the side of justice. What I’m saying is: she’s Ada’s type. I love the idea of Ada being at the police station early and running into Jill while she’s there in RE3. I’m also a fan of Ada trying to save Jill in RE5 when she realises it’s her actions in Spain that led to Jill’s brainwashing.

Ace Attorney

I don’t have any preference just as long as there’s no Franmaya, which is my NOTP or the Bad Cykesquill (Simon/Athena. Not only is the age difference too high, but they have a sibling relationship and Simon is clearly gay). I tend to headcanon Klaiver and Ema used to date but Mia and Godot never did. Background Wrightworth is always a plus.

FMA Manga//Brotherhood

Oliver/Maria - Honestly it’s not hard to see what I like when it comes to this ship because the AO3 tag is 99% written by me. Put Olivier in suspenders and holding a sword and I’m a happy woman.

Rose/Paninya - a woman whose town was destroyed in riots and a woman who has found a love of doing repair work? And they’re both friends with Winry who is more than happy to play matchmaker? The pairing writes itself. I know that the 03 anime gave Rose a dead boyfriend, but the manga never specifies. They’re lesbians, Harold.

Dishonored

Emily/Alexi - Wyman? I don’t know her! I love AUs where Alexi lives and is on the Dreadful Wale during the events of the game. Also a big fan of Jess Lives AUs if you want to have Emily attempting to court her childhood best friend/bodyguard while her amazingly embarrassing parents cheer her on. And I love the AUs where both Corvo and Emily are the co-protagonists (especially marked!Corvo, flesh and steel!Emily). I ignore the canonical age difference between Corvo and Jess and put them both as being in their late teens when they met. Basically anything where Alexi is still alive and not going to die is a good fic. If you want to include Wyman at all my preference is for female Wyman since I see Emily as a lesbian. Either she and Emily are exes on good terms or have always been just friends.

Anyway, I think that’s everything. Thank you again!

Grouch - Part 2

Pairing : Bucky x Plus Size Reader ; Avengers x Plus Size Reader

Warning : Language ; Mention of violence (killing) 

Word Count : 1.6k

Disclaimer : I do not own the characters, nor the universe where they were created and interact in. This series/fiction is only for entertainment purposes.

The silence was ponderous. A name and everyone in the room felt their breath cut short, especially Bucky. Tony gulped harshly before speaking, “What do you mean, ‘it’s Y/N’?”. Fury readjusted himself in his seat and replied, “Agent Y/N reached out to me two years ago. She couldn’t go on with the Avengers for motives she refused to confess and asked me if I had any undercover mission. The deal was simple: high secrecy at all costs, only way of contact was through and by me and complete erasure of her existence in the system. Unfortunately, something must have happened because the contact was cut short. I’ve been trying to track her down for the past year but without result and that’s why I convoked you all here today. We need to get her back.”

“You…you let her go on a mission all alone by herself without backup?”, Sam’s voice echoed in the room. “I won’t regard that tone, this time, but Agent Y/L/N is one of the best operatives I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She didn’t end up being an Avenger by accident. She knew the risks like all of you”, replied Fury with a firm voice. “Y/-“, began to whisper Bucky but was cut off by being projected against the wall by Wanda’s powers. He groaned in pain, a faint scream making his way up his throat. “WANDA”, shouted Steve. The Scarlet Witch saw red and intensified her powers. “This is all your fault”, she gritted through her teeth. “She left us because of you. I warned you Barnes that if you hurt her, I would come for you”, she continued. The room heard Bucky’s ribs crack and launched at their fellow team member. She let him go, his limp body falling to the ground, unconscious. Natasha took Wanda out of the room while a medical team was being called in emergency.

Across the street on an empty parking lot, two silhouettes were witnessing the whole scene. “Look at them getting onto each other’s throats for you. That’s how much influence you have on them and that’s why you’re so precious to us.” The man looked at you with gleamy eyes, two steps further in the world domination race. You watched stoically, emotionless at those strangers bickering. “They are the reason for your rebirth. I guess we should thank them”, his voice echoing in the background with a triumphant chuckle. You weren’t paying attention to him, the vision of your targets far more interesting. You stood up from your spot ready to make some ravages but he gripped on your arm. “Not yet.” “When?”, your feral voice replied. A proud smirk appeared on his traits before he told you, “Soon. Very soon. Patience Soldat your moment will come soon. Let’s go back before Madame Hydra decides to put us down” You both left the place behind and went back to the base.

--

“How is he?”, asked Natasha. Steve sighed heavily, massaging his temples. “He’s still unconscious but out of danger. Cho managed to fix his broken ribs and stop the internal hemorrhage.” “What about Wanda?”, nodded Sam towards the Black Widow. “Took some time to calm her down. She’s furious. We will have to make sure they don’t cross path anytime soon.” The silence reigned for a while before Tony spoke up, “We also have to find Y/N.” “I don’t want to sound disrespectful or anything but do you think that’s a good idea? I mean she left us. No warning, no goodbye”, exclaimed Rhodes. “She had her reason. Buck was … . The whole tension between them was unbearable and that’s only the parts we witnessed. Who knows what else happened behind doors that got to the point of no return”, said Steve leaving the others astonished by his response. Steve would always choose Bucky first but he could also acknowledge when his friend was in the wrong. “Yeah, well in the meantime here’s what we got”, added Tony and projected your undercover mission file: your picture, new identity and your reports.

They spend hours and days working through your notes, trying to figure every small detail out. Every time a Hydra member would take you to a direction their first instinct would be to blindfold you, remaining the locations top secret. They started tracking every known Hydra agent’s movements day and night to the point where they became desperate and tired. 4 months passed and no new leads. The Avengers were attending once more an emergency meeting with Fury going over their minimal results when the F.R.I.D.A.Y alerted them. “Avengers we have a critical situation happening right now in New York city.” The whole team went on high alert. “The water supply has been contaminated and a radioactive signal has come to my attention on 5th Avenue.” “Alright everyone suit up and get the local police to evacuate the place as fast as they can”, spoke Steve in his Captain voice. In less than 5 min the team was on the Quinjet ready to leave the compound. 

Tony, Sam, Rhodes and Vision were the first arriving on the spot. They quickly found the radioactive signal which was the result of a timing bomb. While Tony and Vision stayed to deactivate the bomb, Sam flew to the others who had arrived. “What’s the status?”, asked Natasha. “Stark and Vision are on the bomb. We get the contaminated water”, answered Sam but as soon as he finished his sentence, riffles were heard making them take cover. Men came out of several trucks, the red octopus symbol sewed on their vests, shooting at them. “Why am I not surprised”, exclaimed Bucky who recovered from his injuries quickly thanks to the super soldier serum running in his blood.

Battle was engaged soon after between the Avengers and their longtime enemy. “Well well well, look who we have here. Long time so see Captain”, a feminine voice was heard among the commotion. Steve turned his head and saw the woman in question. “Viper”, he whispered. A smirk crossed her features, “It’s Madame Hydra now.” “Doesn’t matter”, he mumbled before engaging in a hand in hand combat. “Where is Y/N?”, he asked through gritted teeth. She chuckled at him before punching him square to the face. “Who?” At the corner of her eye, she saw Natasha launch at her but managed to turn the Widow’s signature in her favor. Bucky joined Steve in fight Madame. “Where is she?”, spat Bucky angrily. “She went…what do you call it. Home?”, she grinned and grabbed the line over her head and took off with the awaiting helicopter. “Home? …she…she’s at the compound”, shouted Bucky in the comms. “On it”, exclaimed Tony before flying back.

You strutted down the hallways, killing everyone that came across your way. F.R.I.D.A.Y activated the emergency protocol, closing all the doors but you managed to slide inside Stark’s lab before the closure. “I will use force against you Agent Y/N”, commented F.R.I.D.A.Y. You didn’t know why but you figured she was speaking to you. “Stop calling me that. That’s not my name”, you answered bitterly. The A.I tried a different approach and asked you what was your name then. You didn’t respond and once you found what you were looking for, you grabbed it but the A.I activated Stark’s Iron Man suits. You fought them easily off and at the last one who you crushed with your bare hands, you heard someone clear its throat and chuckle. “I’m impressed”, he said slowly approaching. You analyzed him like a hawk, your dark eyes boring into his. “Y/N?”, he whispered. You lost your time and launched at him. “I’m not Y/N”, you groaned. His kick projected you back violently, shredding the left side of your pants, metal shinning. You looked down at your ripped pants and breathed heavily. “No…what have they done to you?”, he mumbled in shook seeing your shaped Vibranium leg. He got caught off guard hearing the plates of your arms and legs whirring. “Hail Hydra”, he heard your so familiar yet so strange voice say. Your punch met his armor so violently, he was left unconscious. You fled the compound before the others arrived and discovered Tony was down. 

He woke up 3 hours later and told F.R.I.D.A.Y to show them the footage of your altercation. Bucky felt the tears sliding down his face and left the room abruptly, followed by Steve. “Buck”, the Captain whispered. “Wanda’s right. It’s all my fault.” “Hey don’t do…that to yourself.” “But it’s true. I pushed her away and look what she became. I tried to do everything to have her out of my life because I’m damaged. I wanted to keep her save by being as far as possible as she could from me even if it meant for her to hate me and I just pushed her right into their arms.” Steve watched his best friend lose it. “I lost her… She will never know how much she meant to me”, he told himself. Steve reached Bucky’s shoulders and looked at him in the eyes. “Bucky, we’re all damaged. If you gave her a chance this wouldn’t have happened but now it’s too late to erase the past. We got to move on. We still have a chance to save her. I … we saved you and we will save her too. You hear me? She needs you know. Will you be there?” Bucky calmed down and nodded firmly. “Yes, I will”, he said with determination. “Good because now we know who and for what we’re fighting for. We know that’s she alive. Come on let’s bring our friend and your girl back.” The two men walked back inside and started working on how to bring you back to them.

The Perch - Chapter 2

The Perch: A Birds Fanfic

Buy me a ☕ Character Pairing:  Clint Barton x Sam Wilson

Word Count:  2260

Rating:  E

Written For:  Sam Wilson Birthday Bang.

Warnings:  Smut (M|M anal sex)

Synopsis:  During a mission, Sam and Clint are sent to the same spot for surveillance.  Normally Sam quite enjoys the teasing of his teammates, but Clint’s constant chatter quickly starts to get on his nerves.  As time passes, it becomes clear, when Clint’s annoying you, there might be something else going on.

A/N:  Art by @kishock-harpoon.  Thank you to @fanficwriter013, @lillianfromaccounting, and @mumbles411 for betaing.

Chapter 2

Sam felt like he was watching in slow motion.  It was a terrifying deja vu feeling as he watched Clint slip from his grip and then start falling.  Sam tucked his wings in and dived, his hand stretched out as he tried to catch Clint again.

His mind kept flashing back, first to Riley and then to Rhodey.  He couldn’t let this happen again. He couldn’t just watch someone he cared about hit the ground like that again.

He plummeted down, stretching out, sure that this was going to be a repeat of Riley all over again.  Somehow, he reached Clint. First, their fingers brushed over each other’s and then they each latched onto the other’s wrist.  Sam popped his wings and pulled back as hard as he could.

It broke Clint’s fall, but he still hit the ground, glancing off the side of a car before hitting the ground.  Clint cried out in pain and rolled onto his side. He was attempting to get up when Sam landed. “Don’t move. There is no way you didn’t break something,” Sam ordered.  He pressed the send button on his comms. “Clint’s down, he needs evac,” He said as he started looking Clint over. The side of his uniform hand ripped open and there was a huge gash along Clint’s side.  He was bleeding profusely and Sam worried about how deep it was.

“Shit,” Sam cursed as he looked around for something - anything - he could use to stop the bleeding.  As he looked around he noticed the car Clint had hit had been partially crushed by a piece of the building that must have bounced off it after impact.  From above it wasn’t so obvious but Clint must have hit one of the jagged pieces of metal sticking up from the car. “It’s alright, Clint. It’s gonna be alright.”

Clint pressed his hand to his side and groaned.  “I know. I’ve had worse.”

Steve vaulted over some rubble and approached them both.  “Evac is coming," he said, grabbing something from his utility belt.  “I know that pararescue Sam is gonna want to stay here, but I really need you up there with Wanda getting the guy with the rocket launcher.”

Sam looked up to see Wanda floating up on a cloud of pink light.  He wasn’t actually sure her powers would carry her that far off the ground or not.  He looked back at Clint again and nodded taking flight and caught Wanda by the shoulders, trying not to let his concern for Clint distract him too much.

The fight had been chaos.  Any plans the Avengers had to keep things peaceful had gone right out the window.  HYDRA had been ready for them. It had been a firestorm right up the center of the city.

The Avengers had won though.  They usually did when they stuck together.  Especially against low-level HYDRA operatives, even if they did predict that they’d have people on the roof.

Not that the government wasn’t still pissed at the Avengers.  It didn’t matter that they’d cleared the area before anything had happened.  They seemed to think HYDRA could just do whatever they wanted if it meant no property damage.

Sam didn’t really care about any of that.  He was going to continue fighting for what he thought was right.  Besides, it was the same old shit over and over anyway. They’d get pissed because of the damage caused by the other side, tell them they were going to do something to control the Avengers.  Some big bad would come and threaten everything and they’d beg them to intervene.

Besides, Sam was a little more concerned about Clint.  He’d been evacuated quickly and Sam hadn’t seen him since.  He’d had to go to medbay for his own minor injuries and then got stuck in a debrief for three god damned hours.

By the time he was finally out he was exhausted and he wanted to take a long hot shower and then sleep.

More than that though, he wanted to check that Clint was okay and maybe get to the bottom of this whole flirting thing.

“Hey, Nat!”  He called as he headed down the hall after the whole team had filed out of the conference room.

She turned and put her hand on her hip, cocking her eyebrow as she looked at him.  “What’s up, Wilson?”

“While I was up on the roof Clint was flirting,” Sam said, already knowing what Natasha would say.  ‘Well, duh, Sam. It’s Clint. He does that.’

Natasha smirked at him and he prepared himself to be teased.  “Oh yeah, he’s totally into you. Why? You like him back?”

Sam blinked at her.  “Wait, what?”

“Oh yeah.  He’s always talking about you.  Whether I thought you might be into guys.  If you’d be into him if you were,” Natasha explained.

“Wow, okay,” Sam said.  It felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.  “Alright.”

“You gonna ask him out, Sam?” Natasha teased.  “Got your eyes on the little Hawk?”

“Yeah.  Yeah, I think I might,” Sam said with a nod.

“Well, a little advice,” she said.  “He’s a disaster. He’s gonna overthink it.  He’s worth it though.”

“So you’re saying I should ride his ass?” Sam joked.

Natasha snorted.  “Something like that,” she said stepping forward, so she was face to face with him.  She tapped on his chest as she looked up into his eyes, and despite the considerable weight advantage Sam had, he was actually a little scared.  “If you hurt him, I’ll kill you. Just so you know.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything else, Widow.”

“Good.  Then have at it.  He’ll be excited to see you,” Natasha said and headed off down the hall.

Sam watched her for a moment before turning and heading to the medbay again.  He knew Clint had to be in there somewhere.

In the end, he'd only had to ask two of the on-staff medics to actually find him.  He was lying back in bed, sipping on a Capri Sun. He had his usual collection of bumps and bruises.  His left eye was partially blackened and it looked like he had collected a fresh set of stitches on his forehead.

He practically lit up when he saw Sam.  His eyes sparkled and he grinned broadly.  “Hey, Sam! I wasn’t sure if you’d come to see me.”

“Just needed to make sure I didn’t spike you into the pavement in any permanent way,” Sam joked.  “How’s your side?”

“Fine,” Clint said.  He pushed the covers down on the bed and lifted the hospital gown to show clean and unmarked skin.  “They put me in the cradle again. I swear I’ll be 80% plastic by the time I retire.”

Sam approached him and ran his fingers over the spot where Clint had been hurt.  “It’s not plastic, Clint. You know that.”

“Tell that to Vision,” Clint joked as he watched Sam’s hand on his side.  He seemed to tremble under Sam’s touch.

“Clint?” Sam said.  Clint raised his eyes to meet Sam’s and Sam pressed his palm to the spot the gash had run earlier.  Clint took a shuddering breath in and seemed to lean forward a little. “You want to nest now?”

Clint nodded and moved over a little and Sam slipped off his shoes and climbed into the small hospital bed with him.  Sam wasn’t sure Clint’s smile could get any wider as he nuzzled into Sam. Sam hooked his arm around Clint’s shoulders and let the man cuddle in tight against him. “There we are,” Sam said, looking down into his eyes.  “Two little love birds.”

“Sam?  I didn’t think…” Clint started.

“That’s okay.  I thought enough for both of us,” Sam teased.

Clint laughed and leaned up, kissing the corner of Sam’s jaw.  It was slow and gentle and Sam turned his head, capturing the archer’s lips.

He kissed him tenderly, holding him close, before pulling back slowly.  Clint’s teeth grazed over Sam’s bottom lip and tugged on it as he pulled back.

Clint ran his fingers down Sam’s neck and nipped at his jaw.  Sam chuckled and carded his fingers through Clint’s hair. “You gotta let people know that you’re actually interested in them, dummy.”

Clint chuckled.  “That’s what Nat says too.  But it’s easier to deal with the rejection if you can just pretend they thought you were just being a flirt.”  He placed a kiss on the pulse point on Sam’s throat and his hand slid down from his neck to his chest. “You worked it out though.”

“Yeah, you got lucky,” Sam teased.

“Mmm… not yet.  But I’m working on it.”  Clint hummed and sucked on that same sensitive spot.  It made Sam’s skin tingle and his scalp prickle.

“Jesus, Clint,” Sam said, as Clint’s hand traveled up under his t-shirt.  “You were nearly killed today.”

“Only nearly,” Clint murmured against Sam’s skin.  He looked up at him and smirked. “Besides. You know what they say about birds of a feather?”

“I think that saying is about flocking,” Sam said.  “Not fucking.”

Clint snorted.  “Well then, let me show you a little thing some bees told me about.”

Sam completely lost it laughing.  “Oh my god, Clint. What the hell am I going to do with you?”

Clint’s hand slipped down and teased over Sam’s dick.  It twitched in his pants and sent a small shiver up Sam’s spine.  “Just whatever you damn well want,” Clint whispered.

Sam kissed him deeply, and Clint returned it with a needy hunger.  He started to palm Sam’s cock and Sam groaned into the kiss. He pulled back a little breathless.  “Okay, okay. We can do this, but you gotta calm down.”

He climbed out of the bed and went to the medical supplies and started looking through them.  Clint sat up and watched him. “Whatcha doin’, Sammy?”

“You lie down, I’ll be back in a second.”

Clint lay the bed back and lay down.  Sam found the lube he was looking for and went and locked the medbay door before getting back into bed and spooning Clint.

Clint leaned back and captured Sam’s lips, kissing him slowly as he ran his fingers over Sam’s scalp and gripped his neck.  Sam hummed softly and ran his hand down Clint’s stomach and up under his hospital gown, teasing his fingers over Clint’s cock.  It twitched and began to harden under Sam’s touch. Sam’s tongue flicked out, coaxing Clint’s lips apart. Clint’s came out to meet it, and they pressed together before circling each other.

Both men let out a low moan.  Sam rolled his hips, grinding his hardening cock against Clint’s bare ass.  His fingers wrapped around Clint’s shaft and he slowly began to pump it.

“Fuck,” Clint gasped, pushing back against Sam, needily.  “God, I’ve wanted this for so long.”

Sam smiled and kissed Clint’s throat, sucking on his skin hard enough to mark him.  He grabbed the lube and squeezed it in his hand, rolling his fingers over the sticky, viscous liquid to warm it before rubbing it into Clint’s asshole.  Clint mewled and leaned back, nipping at the shell of Sam’s ear. He reached behind him and palmed Sam’s cock through his pants before fumbling to open his pants.  Clint’s ring muscle gave under Sam’s attention, as he used first one finger, and then two to coax him open.

“Sam,” Clint gasped.  “Feels so good. Need you.”

“I know.  It’s coming,” Sam soothed.  He pulled his cock free and coated it with lube, before lining it up against Clint’s ass.  Clint pushed back against him, so the head sunk into his tight hole. “Fuck,” Sam grunted, pushing in that little bit more.

He ran his hand up Clint’s throat and pulled him into a kiss again.  As the two men kissed deeply and passionately, Sam began to roll his hips.  He fucked Clint slowly and deeply. There was no rush to it. He had no desire to hurt Clint more than he had been today.  They were making love.

Their moans became louder as they moved together.  Sam began to feel soft, and slightly fuzzy as the pressure of his oncoming orgasm built in him.  He began to stroke Clint’s cock as he thrust deep into him. Clint mewled against Sam’s lips and jerked against him.  “Sam!” He gasped, breaking their kiss for the first time. “Gonna come.”

Sam nipped at Clint’s earlobe and nuzzled into his neck.  “I’m right with you,” he breathed.

Clint groaned loudly and with a grunt, he came hot ribbons over his stomach and Sam’s hand.  His ass clenched and squeezed Sam’s cock, milking it and sending a jolt up Sam’s spine. His balls tightened and with a deep thrust, he released, filling Clint.

The two men lay pressed together, panting for a moment, before Clint leaned back and kissed Sam deeply and Sam slipped from within him.  Clint grabbed some wipes from a dispenser near him and carefully began to clean them both up.

“Preening me, Clint?” Sam teased.

Clint chuckled and kissed Sam’s jaw, before curling in against him.  “We are gonna have a lot of fun, Sam.”

“Alright, but you gotta get cleared first.  How about we take a nap and we’ll see if they’ll release you when we wake up,” Sam said.

Clint hummed and closed his eyes.  It wasn’t long before he was snoring lightly in Sam’s arms.  As Sam’s exhaustion started to take him too, he couldn’t help but think how nice it was to be part of Clint’s flock.

Secret Wars 2099 #1-5 Thoughts...kinda

As I have no memories, nor apparently any records, of covering this story when it originally released I figured I’d do it as part of my re-reading project.

So the first things I should make clear is that I DID read these issues cover to cover...but in the trade. So if the recap pages of the original issues did something wonky I don’t know about that. Also I’m not covering these issue by issue. There are a few reasons for that.

For starters that’d be more time consuming and whilst I’m never going to make this deadline I’m trying to blast through Spidey 2099 volume 3 as early into the upcoming 2099 event as possible. My pie in the sky plan was to get it done before ASM #833 but that’s not happening now because shit got in my way. Secondly I’ve already read these issues as they were coming out and so I wanted to make the experience more novel for myself and see how they held up as one big story not a set of individual ones.

Due to this I’m likely not going to get into the nitty gritty of this story as I would issue to issue, pulling out ‘this one panel was weird’ and so forth. I’m going to try and discuss the story as an overview.

And from that perspective this was very enjoyable but does have you scratching your head when trying to reconcile it within continuity. On that fro there are three ways to view it.

a)      Within classic 2099 continuity

b)      Within the then current 2099 continuity off the heels of Spidey 2099 volume 2

c)       And within the continuity that’s yet to come. Maybe I even mentioned that in the posts I did for Spidey 2099 volume 3, I don’t remember and don’t want to spoil myself by checking. I DO remember Roberta/Captain America returns which makes continuity confusing

In fact continuity from all 3 POVs is confusing. I think the best thing to do is to treat this as kind of like the RYV Secret Wars continuity. That is to say it’s not about the ACTUAL versions of the characters you’ve come to know and when we next see the new characters introduced here those will be alternate versions of these guys.

In a sense this is a kind of conceptual part of PAD’s over all story. It exists so you know that there are/could be versions of these characters and concepts ‘out there’ and they could show back up in his main story. Similarly the All-New X-Factor issue that hinted at this series did so more conceptually. The idea being a big corporation who own their own superhero team. This series doesn’t directly pick up those plot threads but it’s conceptually similar, maybe even the intention is that Miguel got the idea for his Avengers from that story.

I don’t know though because this Miguel is drastically different to the one we’ve been following from Superior onwards. Now I’m not familiar with the 90s 2099 stuff much but IIRC Miguel does become the head of Alchemax and his father Tyler Stone is wheelchair bound so is this supposed to be diverging off that? I dunno.

Enough about continuity though, taking this story in isolation as I said it’s enjoyable. There isn’t much wrong with it beyond one notable thing and a few nitpicks.

Nitpicks would be stuff like how the ending feels kind of weird. It bookends the start of the story but I just feel outright showing us something that we already knew (that Black Widow 2099 acts like a literal black widow and kills her lovers) just wasn’t a fitting end for this story. It’s not that it is gross so much as it just feels odd and out of place. Like there was a more fitting coda for this story than following the minor exploits of a minor character amidst this story.

The more notable problem is a plot one. This isn’t a deal breaker but I just don’t really understand the relevance of Mordo 2099’s business card being in the Specialist’s pocket. It’s the instigator for most of the plot and yet the Specialist didn’t seem to have anything to do with Mordo. Was it just a coincidence? Was it planted there to throw the Avengers off Tyler Stone’s trail? It’s never explained. I suppose it could be a coincidence but then that’s rather lazy writing beneath PAD’s usual talents.

Beyond that the story is fun but fairly simple.

Essentially this boils down to the Avengers and Defenders meet, fight, interact a bit more, fight some more (with some Avengers siding with the Defenders) and then they team up to beat a bigger threat.

Not much else goes on, but that’s not a bad thing.

This story didn’t need to be Kraven’s Last Hunt or Watchmen.

It was just a fun superhero action story, which frankly is usually all that Avengers or Defenders stories ever amount to. Substance is a rarity for ether team, you want that check out the F4 or X-men.

What this series excels at is filling in some blanks from the original 2099 universe line, revisiting some old characters from it, introducing some new versions of old faces (like Silver Surfer and Hercules) and just giving you enough for each character for there to be some fun interactions. Maybe that’s all a bit basic but fun is fun.

We never had an Avengers nor Defenders 2099 back when the line exists, at least not as far as I know. And the idea that classic characters like Hercules, Valkyrie and the Surfer would still be around makes a lot of sense. The 2099 reimaginings of older characters are also quite fun. Black Widow literally being a woman who eats her lovers was obvious and yet novel. Hawkeye being a hawk/human hybrid was something different from the 616 version. Hercules being a standing for Thor was a brilliant balance of something new yet familiar. Iron Man and Vision 2099 were novel twists on the classic characters. The characters bounced off each other nicely (especially Hercules and Sub-Mariner) and there were some fun match ups.

The stand out (possibly because PAD had plans for her) though is Roberta Mendez, a.k.a. Captain America 2099. If anyone was the main character in this it was her. She was the most out and out heroic and a worthy heir to Steve’s legacy.

In recent years there has been much, shall we say, ‘heated debate’ regarding female characters, poc characters, female body depictions in comics and legacy characters.

Roberta has oddly been left unmentioned in this discussion which is strange as she ticks all the above boxes and yet is also one of the best examples of how to do such characters.

She is not stereotypically sexy, and the story points out the ‘wrongness’ of that. But it places it in the mouth of a minor character who is bad, and beyond that doesn’t dwell on the topic. I think this is smart because it acknowledges potential backlash but also doesn’t become self-indulgent in calling it out. I think that’s part of the umbridge a lot of people feel. The lack of subtlety and the frankly obnoxious degree to which a lot of modern comics attempt to call out bad actors or problematic views. PAD demonstrates the right way to handle this rather than Jason Aaron’s tactics in his Jane Foster Thor run for instance.

More importantly Roberta isn’t built up as heroic or better than her peers or anyone else through unearned tactics. This isn’t Riri Williams or Rey from Star Wars who’s acclaim in story is rather handed to them. She is a corporate stooge and a tool (one who’s literally activated and deactivated), but one with a conscience. And that conscience lets her fight back and make the right choices, but she isn’t a true blue enemy of ‘the system’. She’s morally and ethically compromised as Captain America and entirely clueless and vulnerable as Roberta. But she still saves people, she still helps people, she still has a moral code and she still believes in Steve Rogers’ values. She is a capable combatant and yet far from invincible.

In short...she’s a flawed super hero. It’s a feat of balanced writing that is worth of applause on PAD’s part as I count myself a fan of Roberta a lot actually.

The second most interesting character in this is Miguel.

Miguel’s portrayal here is interesting in general because it’s a departure from what you would expect having read volume 2 or possibly 2099 in general. He is absolutely the head of a big bad corporation. And he uses people. He is willing to enforce his corporate authority unethically. He is NOT a good person. In volume 2 you could describe him as anti-hero lite. He was more violent and clearly more willing to take life than Peter Parker but he wasn’t the Punisher or Wolverine. He was on the side of the angels but wasn’t one of them basically. Here though he’s definitely not on the side of the angels...but he’s also not on the side of the demons either. Rather he occupies this interesting spot in the middle as his Alchemax Avengers are doing good things and he does let the Defenders go at the end of everything. And yet he does safeguard Alchemax’s safety and legacy and manipulates Roberta.

This is another feat of writing as Miguel can’t be easily put into a box marked good nor bad or even anti-hero.

As for the art, I feel it’s a step down from what Sliney was doing in Spidey 2099 volume 2 but it’s still good, it gets the job done and the reinventions of older heroes works.

All in all if you have the time and cash, and aren’t expecting anything mind blowing I’d recommend checking this out.

Kidnapped

Request : Can you do bucky with prompt 11?

Summary : Prompt : #11 “I kidnapped you, you’re supposed to be scared.” “I’m not…deal with it.”

Word Count : 1.4k

Pairings : Bucky Barnes x reader

Warnings : mention of abuse, a bit of fluff

a/n - Hi loves ! So ik I say this a lot but I loved writing this one and I kinda wanna do a pt.2? let me know what you think!

       You always seemed to be a target for those stupid Avengers but they never let you explain why you didn’t let them find you. Like Captain America’s friend, The Winter Soldier, you too were a Hydra escapee. They trained you to assassinate people without question, the same mind wipes and physical abuse they used on him, they used on you. Ever since you escaped the Avengers have been trying to recruit you to their little band. If only you could explain why you didn’t want to join to someone so they would leave you alone.

        Due to the fact that the Avengers are trying to track your every move your main focus was trying to stay lowkey. Living in a small, nice suburban area not to far outside of New York City really helped with that. You could stay under the radar while maintaining a semi-normal life. It was during your weekly jog when you noticed a man with long brown hair and shades on following you. Making sure you didn’t show that you noticed him, you made some turns that took you away from prying eyes so you could deal with whoever this was. When you got into a dark alleyway you stopped and swiped underneath the mans feet, tripping him and causing him land on his back. You put on foot on his chest to hold him down.

        “Who are you?” you asked him grabbing the knife you kept in your pocket. “And what do you want with me?” The man smirked and kicked the knife out of your hands, grabbing you and reversing the position so you were on your back and his elbow was keeping you down. “Call me Bucky.” He said mockingly. Something about his face looked familiar but you couldn’t place it. You didn’t say anything but instead pushed him off with both your legs landing on your feet and him falling to the ground. “Answer the question. What do you want wi-” You got cut off by a bag going over your head and something hard and cold hitting you in the temple.

        “It’s a long drive to the tower from here Tony, ever since you moved locations.” “Make sure she doesn’t get out Bucky!” “Relax, I’ve got it covered.” What felt like seconds but you knew was probably hours late you woke up, the bag on your head was gone and the sound of the radio played softly in the background one the phone conversation ended. You turned your head to your left and saw the man with his hair tied back and both hands on the steering wheel glancing over at you every now and then. “Morning.” he said with a light smile as he looked out at the road ahead. Glancing around the vehicle you figured it was a pickup truck, fairley new, and was huge. The sun was rising just to the right of the truck, meaning you were driving North. When Bucky saw you looking around he glanced over at you again. “Do you know how hard it is to get seatbelt on an unconscious body?” He asked as an attempt to lighten the mood. “Nah, I never put the seatbelt on the bodies I move.” You bantered back at him. He gave a light laugh. “Your y/n right? y/l/n?’ You raised an eyebrow at him. “Well obviously you know that or I wouldn’t be in your truck with a shooting pain on my right temple.” Bucky laughed, “Sorry, but I had to get the job done, and I have a hunch that you wouldn’t have gone willingly.” You rolled your eyes but laughed lightly. You watched him as he drove, something about his face made you feel a sort of familiarity about him. It wasn’t his long brown hair, or his perfectly chiseled jaw and cheek bones, but something about him you recognized.

        “Know any car games?” You asked him. He looked at you almost astonished. “I kidnapped you, you’re supposed to be scared.” he said with a faint laugh. “Well, I’m not…deal with it.” you responded raising your chin and looking out the front window. Bucky shook his head and laughed softly. “You are unbelievable y/n.” You nodded. “I like too think I’m just that cool.” You shrugged. For the rest of the two hour long car ride you and Bucky talked and bantered back and forth and even played I-spy. Finally he pulled into a secret underground garage which lead you to underneath the Stark tower. “Ohhhhhh” you said in realization. “You’re the Winter Soldier! That is why I recognize you.” You stated after looking over at him again. Bucky laughed as he got out of the car and walked over to your side. “Not the sharpest, huh?” he said once he opened your car door. Bucky quickly leaned so close to your head that you could feel his breath on your cheek. “They have cameras and guns everywhere at this place.Do not fuck around” After Bucky whispered that, he began to walk and gestured you to follow him, so you did.

       After walking up some fancy stairs you finally got to a fancy elevator and Bucky looked at you. “I really do not wanna be an Avenger.” You said quickly. “Why not?” Bucky asked as you both walked into the elevator. “I’ve never been good at saving people, I was trained since I was 10 years old to kill whoever I was told to. If I try and save someone it might just end up badly or I might hurt them accidentally or-” Bucky started to laugh. “W-why the hell are you laughing?” You asked angrily. You had just began to pour your heart and soul to this man and he just started to laugh? “That is exactly what I thought when I first started.” he said looking over at you. “Y/n you’re not a bad person, I can tell. You’ll be fine and I think you’d make a great Avenger if I do say so myself.” He smirked at you, and for once in your life you felt safe, with him. Your thoughts were interrupted when the elevator doors opened and there was a whole room of people staring at the two of you. There were people you’ve seen before,like  Tony stark and Captain America, and there was also countless other people you’d never seen before.

       “You got yourself a cute one huh Barnes?” “Shut up Sam, this is y/n, y/n y/l/n.” Said bucky. Tony stark got up out of his chair and walked towards you, circling you like a hawk. “I was expecting more…” he murmured. “Sorry to disappoint.” you countered, your words laced with sarcasm. Bucky smirked at you and you winked at him. “Alright.” Tony clapped his hands together and stood in front of you. “We want you on the team, now I know you haven’t wanted to in the past but remember.” He put his hand on your shoulder. “You’re in the building now and there’s no escaping.”You knew that he meant it as a joke, but it was true. “I’ll do it, on one condition.” You said, then began circling Tony just as he had done to you previously. “Bucky gets to show me around.” You said and Tony quickly agreed. “Done deal. The home tour is effective immediately. See, I told you it’d be easy.” “You said it would be hard?” “No that wasn’t me.” Tony argued with who you presumed to be the Black Widow.

        You and Bucky began to walk off together smiling and laughing throughout the whole tour. The odd time Bucky would drop a flirtatious comment which you would gladly return. Bucky had been nice to you when no one else in your life had, you felt a connection. “I told you you’d make a great Avenger y/n.” Bucky said when the two of you sat down in the huge living room. “I haven’t done anything yet.” You said laughing. Bucky shrugged but laughed.

        Sam and Natasha were watching the two of you from the attaching kitchen. “Bucky so likes her.” Natasha said to Sam as he ate another chip. “I bet $50 it’ll be three weeks until they admit they like each other.” Sam said raising an eyebrow at Natasha. “I give it two weeks.” She said smirking. And they shook on it. It was a bet.

Squish Squish

Marvel

Summary: A bunch of adult-children have too much time on their hands.

Pairing: Avengers x Reader (platonic)

Warnings: language (Said in Steve's voice)

Request: Anonymous said: Could you try the avengers as a group generally being lil shits to each other? Teaseing, pranks, and all around mischief? (Could be like a group prank war with teams and betrayals, or one of them messing up and the others never let it go)

A/N: Okay this one took on a mind of it's own...  *smirk*

♥ Marvel Masterlist ♥

♥♥

"Okay, here's the rules. First, no using JARVIS to track one another. Second, must stay in the living quarters of the tower. The first team to reach 10 points wins, each hit is considered a point and Jarvis is going to keep track." Tony explained.

Natasha looked at you with a smirk, "Powers?" She asked.

You threw your head back with a groan as the billionaire looked at you, "Y/N/N, no phasing."

"Fine," You smirked looking at him, "But I choose teams then."

That's when Steve walked up, "Actually, we already did that." He said sitting down beside you. "You, me and Tony are on one team.  While Nat, Clint and Rhodey are on the other team."

"Hey now wait a minute, Army." You said pushing away from him to get a better look at him. "I'm pretty sure that if I could use my powers, Tin-man and I could kick all your butts."

"Really?" Clint asked twirling a drumstick in his left hand.

Tony looked over at you raising an eyebrow, and back at the group. "I'm game."

"Find it's on." Natasha said standing up.

Steve took a breath, "Alright, JARVIS will give us 10 minutes. That's enough time to grab everything you can and get stationed."

♥ Half hour later ♥

You grabbed the billionaire by the collar of his shirt pulling him into a closet, just before he got hit with a water arrow from Clint. See the team decided to kill a little time and take training to another level. Water fight with revised weapons that Tony and Bruce had completed. Bruce was out of the game for fear he might go green and destroy the tower and uptown Manhattan.

Standing next to Tony, your heart pattered in your chest. "That was a little to close." You stated looking up at Tony.

"Yeah." The philanthropist breathed, his brown eyes looking into your e/c ones. "JARVIS, what's the score?"

"4 to 3 sir, you are in the lead." The accented AI answered.

"Thanks, buddy." He answered, his eyes never leaving yours.

You smiled at him, "I've got an idea. Clint likes to hide in the air ducts, so I can phase into one and hit him. This will draw fire towards me and you can flank them on the left." You stated just as the closet door handle jiggled. Someone was trying to open it.

Tony and you looked at the handle as you grabbed his hand. You phased him through the floor, as you joined him. Once you two landed in the middle of the kitchen, the two of you could hear cursing coming from above. The two of you jumped off the kitchen island and made your way around to the dinning area. The place already looked like a war zone, as you phased the tin-man and yourself to the back of the upturned kitchen table.

Leaning against the underside of the table you tried to catch your breath. "I'll go after the bird-boy." You said as you heard the sound of Clint climbing through the ducts.

Tony nodded and the two of your separated. The bonus with phasing came the fact that you could levitate, and with that you went up to the vents, carefully listening to find where your best friend was and which was he was going. When you found him, what you didn't expect was a second sound of someone crawling along with him. "Two for the price of one?" You mumbled, trying to gage the tactic the best you could, in order to get two points and not get caught yourself.

"Son of a bitch!" You heard Tony's voice through your comm. "You've got Spangles and Widow coming at you."

Mentally cursing you took your shot, you phased through the duct and shot the water gun twice, taking both Rhodey and Clint. However, as you phased back you felt a pair of strong hands grab your ankles pulling you to the floor as you got hit twice by Steve and Natasha.

"Not fair!" You barked as you phased through Steve's hands, staying in the phase running through a couch and the kitchen towards the elevator.

"JARVIS, bud give me the bad news."

"6 to 6, Miss Y/L/N. It is a tie. Shall I suggest a more tactical approach?"

You thought for a second while you had peace in the elevator. You had overridden the control panel to stop the elevator between floors. "What do you suggest?" You asked while checking your ammo.

"With your ability to phase, and Mister Stark's knowledge of the tower, it should be easy enough to sneak up on the opposite team."

Frowning, your mind started to work. You had snuck up on Clint and Rhodey. However, you had no one watching your six at the time and that is why you were caught. "So, what you're saying Jar, is use the same tactic I had use to get Rhod and Hawk, but make sure that Tony is covering."

"Precisely."

Smirking, took a breath and pushed the comm to talk to Tony. "Hey, tin-man."

"Got a plan, sweetheart?" Tony's voice rang through your ear.

Nodding you spoke. "We need to meet somewhere."

There was a pause, "Pick a place."

"Where do you think, they would least expect us?" You asked before starting the elevator again.

You could hear a snicker, "My room."

"Your bedroom?" You asked, your voice hitting a higher pitch then you really wanted it too. You had always had a crush on the playboy, but never told him this. The only one who really knew was your best friend, Steve. The only way the super soldier found out was a night that you and him had been drinking after a mission.

"Sure, they wouldn't think of looking there for us. Meet me by your bedroom and we can phase there. That way they wont know."

Mentally groaning, you replied. "Fine."

♥♥ 10 minutes later ♥♥

It took you longer than normal to get to your bedroom, as you were trying to avoid the rest of the Avengers, now your enemy in the game. What caught you off guard was the simple fact that you had not come across a single one of them on the way to your bedroom. It was strange. You figured that you would have at least caught a glimpse of one of them or heard Hawkeye in the vents. But nada.

Slowly with your weapon held level you looked around the passage to see Tony making his way towards your room. Running up to him you grabbed his hand and started to phase through the wall towards his bedroom. As the two of you phased into his room, it turned into a trap. Each of you getting hit multiple times by the four team members.

The two of you were soaked head to toe, with a state of shock on both your faces. "How--why--what?!" Was all that came out of your mouth.

"I hacked into your comms." Natasha smirked, leaning against the door of Tony's bedroom.

"JARVIS, update." Steve asked.

"14 to 6. Roger's team is the winner." The accented AI answered.

"You said you could beat us with the fact you could use your powers, so we used ours." Rhodey smirked.

"My room is soaking wet!" Tony said looking around his bedroom.

"Squish squish, tin-man." Steve smirked placing his arm around your shoulders.

Tony followed the team out of his bedroom. "Winners are buying drinks."

AU Yeah August | Day Fourteen: Rival

Black Widow and Hawkeye are Rivals until Natasha and Clint are friends

On Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20249731

“Fuck!” She swore as an arrow slashed her leg as it whizzed past, a warning shot if she ever saw one, although she didn’t stop and stare the purple band around the arrow was impossible to miss.

Her footsteps, silent to others, pounded in her head alongside her heartbeat as she tried to outrun the American. He had been tracking her for years and it was always a race, a competition of who could move faster, think quicker. She cursed herself for getting distracted as she pushed herself to run faster before having to skid to a stop when he dropped down in front of her, snapping his bow to his back to face her down.

“Black Widow, are you ready to come with me this time?” He asked with a smirk on his face making the Widow glare furiously at him “I’ll take that as a not willingly”

“Not this lifetime, Hawkeye” She growled lowly as she shifted her feet into a fighting stance and the smirk on Hawkeye’s face only grew as he did the same, both launched into action as they traded blow for block, kick for kic, punch for punch until Widow had him on the ground panting and holding his arms up over his face to protect himself. When it came down to it, Black Widow was always the one most likely to kill, she was always the one who was ready for it while Hawkeye usually preferred the defensive which is why their fights usually lasted so long.

Hawkeye escaped from her and fled into the night, scaling the buildings with a practised ease that Widow didn’t care to master just to chase him down.

Their next meeting was actually a civil one, both wanted the information that only one person could give. They both had spoken to their target and came away annoyed and without any leads, so after a round of teasing and bullying each other they had agreed to speak to her together and act like they work together.

After extracting the information out of their target and fleeing the building shortly after, they celebrated their victory.

“Y’know we make a pretty good team, could do this again if you joined SHIELD?” Hawkeye prompted casually like he wasn’t asking her to turn her life upside down “I think we’d make an awesome team”

“Over my dead body, Hawkeye” She grinned, teeth flashing, before she was gone and had blended too well with the crowd to be seen anymore, Hawkeye let out a huff as he worried that that statement would be all too true.

He was right to worry however, only three months down the line Hawkeye wasn’t even searching for her but there she was. The Black Widow laying on the ground, her scarlet hair pooled around her like the blood escaping the wounds littering her body, her pale skin was mottled with black, blue and purple bruises and for a moment he feared he was too late.

“H-Hawk?” Her voice normally smooth and soft was hoarse and raspy now as she blinked her eyes open to try and see the only person she counted as a friend.

“Widow, the hell happened to you?” He asked as he crouched down to try and help in anyway he can.

“Th-They found out y-you helped, I’m we-weak if I ne-need-needed help” She rasped and groaned when the archer scooped her up “You gu-gunna kill me?

“No, Widow, I’m taking you to SHIELD so they can patch you up. You said over your dead body, this is as close as I’m willing to risk it” Hawkeye said as he easily moved her around and rushed through the dead streets, calling for a medic team on standby.

“If I get th-through it, I w-will join your t-team” She croaked before the blood loss got too much and the remaining fight drained out her body, going limp in Hawk’s arms as he felt better about moving faster through the streets, hoping the faster he went meant a better chance of survival.

Several years later, Clint and Natasha were bickering between each other as the rest of the team rolled their eyes, they had grown used to the pair of them fighting playfully. This time it was just about who got to fly the Quinjet to their next mission.

“Race you! First one there gets to fly the jet” Clint called out and Tony laughed before raising his repulsor to the open air, letting the whine fill the air before firing off a shot and the two spies bolted in a flash, trying to trip the other and make them fall over.

Both of them agreed that this kind of rivalry was much better than their old kind, even though Natasha wouldn’t admit that Clint was right about joining SHIELD.
