Birds of a Feather

By: M14Mouse

Summary: Clint didn't want to drag Sam into this. Hell, he thought if everyone knew…they would have told him that too especially Cap. Right now, he needs someone with some common sense beside him. AU to Age of Ultron

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

It took Clint about three cars before he made to Sam's door.

There were other ways, of course. With Ultron watching their every move, he had go under. This was the best course of action. Nick thought that it was a good idea. He will probably have to explain the three cars and motorcycle that he stolen. Oh, well. There was Same. It would be a matter of an opinion to get him involved.. Nat and Cap are probably kill him for dragging Sam into this mess. In a sense, Sam wasn't one of them. But if you heard how Nat and Cap talked about him, he was very much like them. He was cut from the same cloth of stubbornness, willingness to do the right thing, and loyalty.

He is also one of the few people in the world that can get Cap to listen.

Nat can do it…sometimes. So, can Fury.

Sam had a way that left him amazed and amused all at the same time. They just got back from hurting down a HYDRA lead and they were exhausted. Cap just had to call Sam about something or other. He wasn't sure but he got to hear the end of the conversation.

"Sam…."

"No, Steve. You are tired. I can see and hear it. Your pacing ain't fooling anyone."

"But, he might not be there tomorrow."

"Maybe. Maybe not. You have no idea if the info is right or not. It is so vague that it could be describing me. Right now, you don't need to be chasing his ass because six hours of rest is not going to change anything. You are tired and about to fall on your ass. I'm not down for that. But if that does happen, I will ask Jarvis to take a picture. So, I can share it with everyone and mock you forever."

Cap let out a tired laugh.

Amazing enough, Cap listened…for six hours anyway.

Most importantly enough, he got Nat to listen. That takes a miracle in itself. It wasn't like Fury or even him. It was simple.

"So, I hope that the other guy looks better than you," Sam said.

"The other guy is taking a nap," Nat said.

"That is great to hear. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Nothing to cry about."

"Look like it but you still got it check out, right?"

"I'm fine, Wilson."

"Uh…huh."

There was a long pause.

"Don't give me that look."

"Not saying a thing."

"Still have that look."

"You know…before I was a counselor. I was a medic. Just thought that I give some friendly advice that you should have that checked out."

"….."

"…."

"Fine."

He liked the guy for the five seconds that he met him. He did kind of feel bad for dragging him into this.

He called Fury and he was good at giving them a good swift kick in the butt. But this? It messed with their heads big time. Fury isn't good with that. He needed someone with some common sense and training to back it up. That wasn't his area of expertise at all.

And it would be nice not to be the only one without superpowers on the team.

He waited until nightfall before knocking on Sam's back door. Few moments, Sam opened the door and stared at him.

"I'm seeing a theme, man. So, is everyone chasing you too?" Sam asked.

"Nah. Just evil robots." He said.

"Figures. Always something new with you guys." Sam said as he stepped aside to let him in.

"Nice place." He said as he looked around. The lights were dim and he could see the light flicker in the hallway. Sam must be a fan of late night tv.

"Thanks. I got a brief conversation with Hill telling to lay low and take some time off. I take it that evil robots are responsible for that."

He nodded.

"But I don't think that why you are here."

"Something happened. We tangled with a kid who can mess with your head. She did quite a number on everyone," He said

"How bad?" Sam asked.

"Bad enough that I came here with killer robots on my tail."

"Let me pack a few things."

End of Tag, You're it.

Next Chapter: Flight Pattern.

A/N: I had this idea for a while now and I was stuck on another project. I took a break and wrote this part in a day. So, I have no idea what I am doing. I just want to write a fic where Clint and Sam bond and are awesome. So, sit back and enjoy the ride.
