001 ➳ Video ➳ Clint Barton

[greatatboats]

[ They got crap like this in SHIELD, but that doesn't mean Clint paid much mind to it. Unless it was his tech then he had no reason to really be interested in understanding it. The eggheads were all supposed to handle that crap. Clint was strictly a grunt when it came down to it. Learning to use this communicator that's strapped to his wrist is like the Quinjet training. Frustrating and just plain stupid.

He's managed to get distracted while waiting on the feed to come to life. That's why he doesn't really notice when it flicks on. He's busying checking his teeth over. He gives a startled expression when he realizes the thing has somehow come to life. ] Stark, I swear on all that is good and holy--if this is your doing then I'm going to sick Natasha on you when you least expect her. [ Because he's more than aware that Natasha Romanoff is far more scarier to Tony Stark than Clint Barton will ever be.

Fuck. This practical joke is not nearly as funny as the ones that Clint cooks up back at SHIELD HQ. Clint wasn't normally a tattle tell, but Fury was gonna hear about this. Clint was in the middle of important business when things went fuzzy. Now he was in the middle of fucking nowhere and his arrows weren't labeled. Great. Someone will pay with push ups and ass kissing.

By now he's no longer paying attention to the communicator. He's desperately searching around him to find something even remotely familiar. His eyes fix on a point in the distance. His arm shifts up and the communicator catches a clear glimpse of his bow strapped to his body and the quiver on his back. ] This is stupid.

...Not his fault, but it's nice to see you, Barton.

nah. it's all good.

[ Well, least some of the smart folk got taken. Not that Tony isn't "smart", but someone with a good head for strategy made him feel more at ease. Clint was good with leading a squad, but Steve was better. ] Are we a hundred percent certain this isn't something that backfired on him?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Not a hundred percent, but it wasn't him. There's... nowhere we can really go where they can't see or hear us, but where are you?

[greatatboats]

A fountain. Enjoying the water. You know. The usual. [ In case you are unaware Steve that is sarcasm. But Steve is probably unaware. Sarcasm isn't something that is generally done in Captain America's presence, but he can't help it. He's just frustrated. ] Where are you?

[pursuitofcappiness]

At the house they assigned me, so I'll be in the fountain in five minutes. You hungry?

[greatatboats]

[ Finally someone who's speaking Clint's language. Steve is officially the smartest one to contact him today. He offers food. What a goddamn saint. ] It's like you read my mind, Cap.

Not a whole lot of good stuff to eat around here, but I'll put something together.
