Clint and Natasha are bored which is nothing new nor is the fact that they managed to sneak away from all the adults without being notice by anyone but Phil. They were currently up in the vents above Tony’s lab. Tony was big today because he had a project to work on.
“Tasha, can we go down there” Clint looks over to her “no, it’s against the rules” Natasha tells him. “but Tasha I wanna pway wif him” Clint whines “you can go but I’m not getting in trouble” Natasha says to him before crawling back to the common room.
Clint slowly takes the vent off and jumps down behind Tony. “Tony can we pway” Clint questions the man “sorry Clint, I can’t right now, I really have to finish this project” Tony tells him and Clint pouts “pwease Tony” Clint tries again eyes big. Tony turns around and sighs “no Clint and you know your not supposed to be down here when you’re little” Tony tries and Clint pouts even harder. “Tonyyyy” the littles voice comes out in a whine “Clint go back to the common room or I’ll call your daddy down here” Tony tells him. “I just wanna pway wif you Tony” Clint tells him sadly “I’m busy Clint and I can’t be little today” Tony says turning back to his work and Clint sniffles. “Do you not wan pway wif me” Clint asks “of course I do but I can’t today” Tony shakes his head. “Pwease” Clint tries again “Clint go away” tony doesn’t yell but his voice is harsher than normal.
Clint breaks out into tears and Tony tries to get him in the elevator but he won’t move, he’s giving Tony a headache. “Clint get in the elevator and we can go see your daddy” Tony tries his voice sounding exasperated “no” Clint yells as more tears run down his and he hiccups.
“Jarvis, can you get Phil down here” Tony asks “on it sir” Jarvis replies. A few minutes later Phil and Bruce come out of the elevator and Phil goes straight to Clint while Bruce walks over to Tony and rubs his hip.
“what happened” Phil asks picking Clint up and shushing him “Clint wanted me to play and I told him I was busy but he wouldn’t stop so I told him to go away” Tony explains and Phil nods. “Baby, why did that get you so worked up” Phil asks “cause Tony doesn’t wike me anymore and he-he gonna stop pwaying wif me an-an he hates me” Clint cries out. “Baby, Tony doesn’t hate you, he’s just busy today” Phil tells him but Clint shakes his head “yes he does, just like Barney did” Clint says as his tears come back full force. “Tony do you hate Clint” Phil asks “no, I could never, I’m just busy” Tony tells him “see baby boy, Tony doesn’t hate you” Phil tells him wiping away his tears. Clint hiccups and looks at Tony with big watery eyes “pwomise” Clint looks so vulnerable when he asks “Promise” Tony tells him so Clint nods and leans into Phil.
“Can we go pway wif de others” Clint asks quietly “sure baby, but I will warn you, you’re getting a punishment later today” Phil tells him as they get in the elevator “but daddyyyyyyy” he whines and Phil cuts him off, “none of that, you broke the rules and you know it. Clint nods but smiles when the doors open again and he sees the other littles.
“Tasha, Tasha, come here” Clint yells as he bounds over to here, pumped full of energy even after that full on meltdown in Tony’s lab just a few minutes ago. “What happened to you пташка” Natasha asks with a bit of snark and worry in her voice and that makes Clint stop walking “nofin” he says looking away shyly. “otay, what you wanna pway” Natasha changes the subject “is a secret” he tells her excitedly as he drags her far enough away that no one will hear him.
“Let’s play super secret agents spies” Clint says excitedly “why” Natasha questions with a tilt of her head “cause, Bucky and Steve bwoke our tower last week while dey was fightin” Clint explains and he gets a fierce nod from Natasha. “Let’s go get out weapons” Natasha tells him and they go back to the middle of the common room.
“We gonna go get toys from the chest” Clint tells them as he follows behind Tasha to Phil and his floor. Clint grab his quiver full of foam arrows and his bow while Natasha grabs three guns with a bunch of foam bullets for herself, Steve, and Bucky.
Clint goes through the vents to the common room and Natasha goes back up the elevator. When they get there Natasha hides behind the wall between the kitchen common room. She slides the two guns in and they hit stop just before the two boys. Bucky grabs his and jumps along with Steve.
“Daddy did you give us these” Bucky asks and Sam looks over to the kitchen where he sees Natasha nodding up at someone or something as she counts her bullets. “Yes baby I did” Sam tells him, there’s an infiltration coming at some point today, I don’t know when but be ready” Sam tells them going along with “alright papa” Steve is the one to speak this time. Sam looks back over and sees Natasha give him a slight smile before she disappears back into the kitchen.
It’s a few hours later before the first shot is fired. Natasha had carefully snuck into the room out of sight after confirmation from Clint that their targets were occupied and aim for Steve but she missed because Steve ducked and rolled. “Why have you infiltrated” Bucky asks “cause you bwoke mine and Clint’s tower” she tells them voice calm as she scrutinizes. “Now, mr Barnes and mr Rogers can surrender now or die a horrible death” Natasha gives them the ultimatum “we will fight till our last breath” Bucky grins.
It goes on for a few minutes without anyone getting shot, and Clint hadn’t been found out nor had he shot yet because Natasha could hold her own. Clint saw the block stack before she did and tried to warn he using their hand signals but she was so focused that he wouldn’t be able to save her without giving himself away. Natasha tripped over the stack and twisted her ankle as Bucky shot her and Steve raced over to make sure she was okay but before Bucky’s bullet hit her she shot at Steve and hit him. Steve tripped and landed on his arm.
Steve had started crying while Natasha hopped off the battle field taking it like a champ as her mommy picked her up. “It’s ok Steve” Natasha tells him as Sam picks him up “it’ll be ok my sweet boy” Sam whispers and grabs some ice for Steve and Natasha. After a few minutes Pepper, Natasha, Sam, and Steve all settled at the table. “So I guess I win” Bucky smiles and Natasha makes some gestures with her hand.
The vent pops open and Clint jumps “oh I don’t think so” Clint sasses “I have to defend my best friends honour or die trying” Clint smirks. Everyone gasps or at least pretends to because of course Natasha and Clint were working together.
Clint and Bucky face each other and each of them position there weapons and stare each other down like in old west movies. Clint smirks and shoots at the same time Bucky does but Clint manages to roll out of the way unlike Bucky who gets hit in the chest. Bucky slowly sinks to the ground and cries out, “h-how could you, we w-were f-friends” Bucky lies back closes his eyes playing dead. “ I am victorious, I have avenged you Natasha” he shouts and dances around.
A little while later they have dinner and Tony praises Clint on winning this round of super secret agent spies. “Alright Clint, let’s go down to our floor now cause it’s time for your punishment” Phil tells him and Clint freezes in the middle of his story as everyone turns to him. “What did you do пташка“ Natasha asks, she had turned big not long after the game ended. “Clint this is part of your punishment, tell them what you did” Phil demands “I went in Tony’s lab while I was little, I played in the vents, and talked back to daddy” Clint looks down at his fingers “‘m sorry about havin a melt down in your lab Tony” Clint says “I accept your apology Clint” Tony him with a smile.
