“Oh yeah? Were there specifics? Did you leave him with plenty of caffeine?” Summer glances up from her laptop, grinning. “Or is this him doing that thing where he\u2019s afraid he\u2019ll screw it up if he tries to \u2026 make his friends be friends?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Thank you.” Clint sits down and leans back on the cushions. “Well, he\u2019s familiar. I was very close with Tony,” he responds. “So, what\u2019s the other me been doing, do you know?” Is he still working with SHIELD. Should I be hiding again. Those are few what he wants to ask but he does not want to reveal too much yet. “Is there a problem with me getting close to him? Has he spoken of me?” he inquires instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer shakes her head. \u201cI honestly couldn\u2019t tell you what Agent Barton is doing. Not only is he higher level than I am, but the stuff he does and the stuff I do doesn\u2019t remotely overlap. The last rumour I heard put him with Agent Romanoff and the Captain, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

She studies him, chin in her hands. \u201cTony talks about everything,\u201d she says, deliberately evasive. \u201cHe\u2019s talked about you before, but so much has happened \u2026 I don\u2019t mind you getting close to him, but,\u201d she hesitates. \u201cYou do know who the other member of our little trio is, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clint listens to her attentively and is only little disappointed at not finding out more, as he wasn\u2019t really expecting much to start with. The hawk lets out a small sigh, running his fingers through his hair, pondering on his choices. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, I wasn\u2019t sure you\u2019d know. We are not in the easiest job to be found out much of,\u201d he answers, ignoring her mention of the Black Widow and Captain completely. The way she avoids telling him of Tony stings a lot but he knows she has no reason to offer trust or information for him, especially when he\u2019s practically a stranger to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clint doesn\u2019t like admitting his lack of knowledge but can do little else currently in his situation. \u201cI don\u2019t know who your third is or that you even had one but I have nothing against triads. I was happily part of one myself. Our triad was not well received mostly due to the third person being who he was. We had our troubles but stayed together through them all until..\u201d His voice trails off and he turn his head away to hide the tears threatening to fall from his eyes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Hey, hey,” she says softly, and puts a hand on his shoulder. “It\u2019s okay. Maybe you can find them again. I\u2019m sure Tony can help with that.” She squeezes, mildly bemused at the muscle under her hand.<\/p>\n

“You might not want to stay here, after all. You see \u2026 Loki lives here.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The assassin freezes at the touch and mention of Loki at first then breaks out in nearly hysterical laugher. The tears he was holding in before now run freely from his eyes. \u201cOf course\u2026 no matter what dimension we are… they- \u201d The hawk holds his mouth for a moment, his body shaking as the laughter nearly breaks out again. \u201cThose two always manage to find each other, no matter what. I wonder how different Loki is or if he\u2019s like the one I fell in love with. I would like to find out if none of you have anything against it.\u201d Clint turns to her with questioning eyes as he finishes speaking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“But — I — you what? You were in \/love\/ with — Clint Barton, I demand to hear this story right now!” She’s shocked and amazed and rather pleased — if Loki takes to Clint the way Clint seems to have taken to Tony … but then she realises what that might mean for her. Fear rockets through her, and she shoves it away. If they’re happy, what right has she to interfere?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
