Who: Clint Barton & Darcy Lewis
Where: Coffee Shop
When: So late on the 31st its actually just the 1st now
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Darcy has been a bit of a wreck for the better part of a week, so Clint does the only thing he can think of, he gets her drunk.
The Story:

He doesn't know Darcy all that well, but Natasha introduced them and while she didn't say it outright she made it clear that Darcy was someone she was looking out for. Which meant Clint was as well. The appearance of Bucky Barnes in the absence of Steve seems to riled a few people and Clint could tell that Darcy had been running herself ragged trying to take care of everything. So it might have been a little guilt over the fact that that he hadn't stepped up when the other three disappeared (in his defense he had no idea who Bucky was until at least the third day the guy was here) and let everything rest on Darcy's shoulders that has him showing up at the coffee shop after hours with a bottle of whiskey and a crossbow.

Getting drunk and shooting things was usually how Clint dealt with stress (there was a reason he wasn't the leader of the Avengers, well there were a few reasons but irresponsible decisions was one of them).

Clint nods, taking a drink and taking in her answer. Natasha had explained a little of the same but it had just been what she heard too. Hearing it from Darcy, who had witnessed it, solidified it in his mind a little more.

"Yeah, Natasha said when I got here that she had just apparently come back. I heard I was here once before too."

He had a tendency to hate anything that messed with his head- too much like mind control for his liking.

This type of information was best given over booze for this exact reason. "I hate to say it, but it's easier to wrap your head around after you experience it with someone. I don't know, it's... it's weird. And yes, you were." And she actually laughs at this because it's one of her favorite memories. "I met you the first time while you were picking a lock to break into a random room."

Honestly, it's for the best that a few of them don't remember certain things... But she definitely has a few memories she wished people remembered. "We also all had a killer kitchen party when Tony and I were testing a theory and it backfired."

Clint smiles at that. It definitely sounds like something he would do. "Why was I picking locks when most of these rooms are open?"

He raises an eyebrow. "Did something explode? When Tony's involved something always explodes. Did we have a good fight?" He's so adult, Darcy.

"You know, that's a great question and to this day... I'm not really sure. I just wrote it off as some weird Avenger spy thing." And she gives a little wiggle of her fingers around her mug for emphasis.

"And as for the kitchen, nothing exploded - surprisingly. There was a lot of melted ice cream, though. Lord Buckingham was showing me how to build a solid fortress to protect against invasions. And we kinda left a disaster in our wake with all the food. I... don't think we had a full-on food fight? I know I threw a milkshake at Bucky, but that was a different day when he was having a polar bear problem. I think you threw chocolate chips at someone. Probably Natasha, honestly. Or maybe Tony." She can totes help with adulting and throwing in the most random shit that literally makes no sense without context.
