Thread: Missing Parts(lady/moon)

RE Missing Partskadymoon Clint Barton was a very simple man, at least that's what most people thought. in truth he was extremely complicated, very sensitive, and very, very emotionally unattached. it wasn't that he didn't like his teammates, he did. he just wasn't all that emotionally invested in them. he would be upset if they got hurt, but he wouldn't miss them really. he had not let anyone into his cold shell for so long, that he wasn't even sure he'd miss anyone at all. oh he went through the motions, he made sad faces when Coulson was mentioned and he smiled when someone made a joke, but it was so much easier to just, not feel anything. numb. only Natasha and Fury knew just how empty Clint was inside. he had always been shy about getting close to people, but after Budapest, he had been hurt too deeply. he simply withdrew and no amount of therapy had drawn him back out. it was only because he wasn't suicidal, active or passive, that he was still a Shield member. sometimes Clint didn't wonder if that was why Loki had taken him, or maybe it had just been a coincidence that he'd just been there at the wrong time. he didn't know and he certainly wasn't going to ask Loki. Loki was, in fact. back on earth, wearing what amounted to a shock collar and a monitoring anklet. if Loki was not within fifty feet of one of the Avengers at all times, he was given a warning zap. if he was not within fifty feet of an Avenger in the next minute, he was very painfully dragged into the nearest Avenger. the Avenger wasn't hurt, just Loki. it had taken a lot of work and experimentation to get Loki settled into a moderately comfortable lifestyle... even if he did hate them all he at least stopped insulting them every time he saw them. and he had proved helpful. Clint had been outraged when Thor had brought Loki back with the information that Loki was sentenced to community service. and that the Avengers where going to be his keepers. Loki had to help the Avengers during battle, but he'd also proven to be very useful in the house keeping. Loki couldn't stand messes, so he tended to pick up after the Avengers when Steve was too tired, or too busy to do it himself. plus, with Loki's magic, the birds didn't poop on the windows, so they never had to hire window cleaners. it amused Clint to no end that Loki had basically become a house maid. he was even doing the laundry. Jarvis told Steve and Loki that someone's hamper was full, and one or the other set about doing it. Steve used the washing machine, Loki used magic. the clothes got equally clean but the two men had made almost a competition of it, because each was convinced the other wasn't cleaning properly. it was enough that Even Clint thought it was funny as hell. it had been Bruce's idea to go out and have a team bonding exercise at the Bar. namely, getting drunk and bitching about each other until they didn't hate each other anymore. it didn't work. Bruce couldn't drink, Steve couldn't get drunk, Loki refused to drink and Clint wouldn't drink in such a public setting. Tony had vanished halfway through the night, no doubt with a sexy woman to fuck. something which seamed to amuse Tony to no end, being that he was pretty sure that Tony was Gay. he took great pleasure in flirting with Tony. Clint snorted at Tony's complaint and offered the other a scowl. we where supposed to be doing a team building exercise. of which i wanted nothing to do with. if you where going to leave Stark, you could have at least had the decency to take me with you instead of making me suffer the indignities of listening to your people bitch about stuff... my, she IS pretty. Loki stated, smirking as he walked around to study Elena. come now, Tony is just so boring, is he not? why not spend the night with a God instead? we at least have manners, and i've had centuries to practice the art of making a woman scream. he flirted, his eyes glittering let her know that he was just fucking with Tony... not that Loki wouldn't have sex with Elena if she offered. she WAS very beautiful. Loki! get away from that poor girl! no one wants to hear you murdering more innocent victims. Clint complained oh come now, i haven't murdered anyone in weeks!
