The Nowhere King | What's a Little B&E Between Friends?

[xp-submariner.livejournal.com]

Clint's late night research is interrupted by a thief in the night.

( SWORD, SHIELD - two sides of the same coin. )

The Nowhere King | First Contact

[xp-submariner.livejournal.com]

Clint Barton and Susan Storm are joined by a third as the cyrotube opens. He's not happy at all.

( I mean, if this were a horror movie wouldn't there be a scratch on the wall or a light hanging from a wire right now? Or at least an ominously opening tube... or worse, an empty one. )

The stranger attacks Clint and Sue. They defend themselves, but are quickly overwhelmed.

( You've still got the force field up, right? Cause I think we're gonna need it. )

The conflict and property damage escalates before the fight ends dramatically.

( The last word in his victory cry, however, wasn't totally unknown. Atlantis. )

The Nowhere King | Surveying The Damage

[xp-submariner.livejournal.com]

After Namor passes out, Clint Barton is left to deal with the aftermath of the morning's conflict and decide how to best move on.

( He had a decision to make. It wasn't necessarily an easy one, but he didn't beat himself up over it too much, either. )

Felicia and North; Car Wash Montage

Felicia comes back to the mansion after work to find North washing his motorcycle.

( What. No. We need to talk about this. )

Topaz and Rogue || Therapy Take Two

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Topaz talks to Rogue about what happened the night before. There's progress, oddly enough. What kind of progress...remains to be seen.

( It has to be fine. )

SSA Phil Coulson & Clint | Monday Evening; Gabriel & Clint | Later Monday Evening (both backdated)

Clint's SHIELD debriefing.


( Don't make me a liar, Barton. )

---

After his debriefing, Clint walks into a bar - any bar - for a drink. It just so happens to be Gabriel's bar.


( Somehow I think you'll be fine. )
