A/N: This is turning into more short little views into the lives of de-aged avengers. Everyone seems to enjoy it so far, and I find it something fun, light and different for me to write.
This is part two of the Crush verse.
Angry Blows
Clint and Tony were down in the labs on the helicarrier, between the two of them they’d managed to scare off all of the adults. They were planning a prank to use on Maria, Bruce had come along to help Tony with the science aspects. The small dark haired child with anger issues was never far from Tony’s side, they both enjoyed advanced science which none of the other children cared to listen too.
Clint couldn’t remember what had started the fight, but it resulted in him and Tony yelling at one another. Bruce watched on with wide eyes backing away slowly till he was pressed against the wall, but neither boy noticed to angry and focused on one another. Then Tony said something he really shouldn’t have about Director Fury. Clint didn’t realize what he was doing till his fist was crunching against Tony’s nose.
Tony cried out hands coming up to his face as blood spilled down his shirt splattering the floor still yelling angrily at Clint who was staring at him in shock. They both turned eyes wide in horror as Bruce groaned in anguish and started to transform. “Hey Bruce is okay, were good, we aren’t fighting see.” Tony said trying to talk him out of transforming by slinging his arm around Clint and hugging him to his side one hand still on his nose.
This did not work, and as they realized it they both turned abruptly and sprinted out the door running for their lives. Hulk in a much smaller form came crashing through the wall after them, despite being smaller he still could cause quite a bit of damage. The two boys ran yelling at agents to get out of the way, who did as soon as they saw the Hulk chasing after them.
They came to a fork in the road and split up Tony heading left and Clint right both hoping that Hulk would chase after the other. Clint was the unlucky one that ‘the other guy’ fallowed after growling menacingly and causing destruction in his wake. The only thing keeping Clint from the vents what his small size, he couldn’t reach the ducts without something to climb on. Even when the opportunity presented itself he didn’t feel he had adequate time to scale the boxes and come out unscathed.
At six he had good stamina but he was still waning and his legs were short, the hulk was gaining on him. Clint was panting, his sides burning as he continued to run through the halls hoping that Tony had gone straight to Loki and not managed to get distracted. Clint saw Fury up ahead talking to Maria and shouted for him finding a burst of speed at the sight of the director.
Fury turned hearing his name his eye widening at seeing Clint running towards him with an angered Hulk barreling after him. He barked orders for Maria to get the new cage ready before sprinting towards the young blood. He scooped up Clint, who clung to him hands digging into his trench coat, and he turned and ran back the way he’d come. Fury had no desire to use his gun on the Hulk, calling for Loki on his com in hopes the man could calm the green giant.
The hulk was just moments from catching up to them when he was barreled into and went through a wall. Fury stopped still cradling Clint to him as he turned to see what had stopped the giant. He was only half surprised to see the teenage Thor wrestling with the Hulk. They watched, other agents along with Loki, Steve and Tony coming to watch the show, as the Hulk seemed to now being playing with the demi-god.
“You’re supposed to be keeping them under control not letting them run rampant on my ship.” Fury yelled at Loki not noticing that he still held Clint tight in his arms.
“I can’t keep constant watch over them all at the same time, they are children they are bound to get into trouble from time to time.” Loki tells him with pursed lips clearly not pleased with his parenting being called into question. “Thor is handling Bruce just fine, I think he just needs to let his other side out to play from time to time and he’ll be much better at managing his control.” Loki told him his eyes moving from the directors face to the child in his arms.
Fury looked down as the tricksters eyes moved and finally realized he still had Clint in his arms. The blonde was watching Thor and Hulk fight with a rapt expression just as Steve and Tony were. It took Fury more time then he would like to admit to extract the archer form himself, Clint reluctant to be put down.
“They’re going to be fine just call for me once Bruce has returned to normal, and make sure you have some cloths on hand for him.” Loki told Fury pushing Steve towards him, the boy went with resistance much to the annoyance of Fury. Steve was becoming far too attached to Loki, once they returned to normal if the demi-god went back to evil doing no one was sure how Caption America might take it. They weren’t sure of the lasting mental effects this regression might cause in them once they find a cure, they weren’t really sure of anything.
“Tony, Clint, come with me, we need to have a talk.” Loki said taking one of each boys hands and pulling the two reluctant children along after him. Once he reached the main living space for the de-aged superheroes he sat them down and made them explain what happened.
“Clint you apologize to Tony.” Loki said eyes hard as he looked down at the children seated in front of him. Clint opened his mouth to protest but was cut off. “No but’s you broke Tony’s nose, now you apologize.” Loki said firmly.
“I’m sorry.” Clint said rolling his eyes and huffing, at the demi-gods glare he tried again. “I’m sorry I broke your nose.” He said crossing his arms with a pout pulling at his lips as Tony grinned at him clearly enjoying Clint’s displeasure.
“Now you both need to apologize to Bruce. You know he doesn’t like yelling. He’s sensitive you both know this.” Loki said with disappointment clear in his tone. “I expect more from the two of you.” The trickster said pleased when both hung their head in shame. “Oh, and Tony I don’t want to hear about you bad mouthing the director, he’s protecting all of you.” Loki warned before sweeping out of the room.
Tony and Clint stayed in the room a little longer before going out in search of Bruce hoping he was back to normal. An hour later they found a human looking Bruce curled up in a chair with a book in one of the play rooms that had been set up around the ship for them. The dark haired boy looked up as they enter adjusting his glasses and looking at them with a guilty expression on his face.
“I’m sorry.” Bruce says quietly as they entered the room.
“No.” Both Tony and Clint say in unison feeling even guiltier.
“We’re sorry.” Clint said looking awkward as he kicked his heal at the floor.
“We shouldn’t have been fighting.” Tony says climbing up on the big chair hugging a Bruce’s side who clung to him instantly. Clint hesitated as Tony motioned him forward but climbed up on Bruce’s other side joining in on the hug. “We won’t fight around you again promise.” Tony promised whole heartedly, no intention of upsetting his friend again. They sat like that for a long time, eventually Tony and Bruce started talking about science. Not long after this Clint quietly took his leave and headed towards Fury’s office.
