Comic booking it

[from_a_distance]

Clint was not one to frequent comic shops. In fact, he usually stayed as far away from them as possible--not because, like the other Avengers, he was afraid he might be recognized, but because he was pretty certain he wouldn't be, and that got a little old after a while.

But Coulson had been moping because he couldn't get in to get his Captain America comics for a couple months, and Clint didn't like to see Coulson moping, so he decided to stop by and pick them up for the agent. He'd probably just drop them on his desk when Coulson wasn't around, but at least he knew it would make the man smile.

"I don't even know what the most embarrassing thing I can think of is..."

[sonofcoul]

He completely pretends not to have heard Clint's inquiry. "No matter what it is, I promise he's probably heard worse."

[from_a_distance]

Which Clint notes with interest.

"Like I said, nicest guy ever."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nods at that, getting ready as the elevator slows.

[sonofcoul]

And when it stops and the doors open, Coulson glances at Blaine. "Ready?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint smiles at them both and puts a hand on Blaine's back to guide him forward.

Steve is in the training room, and stops his workout when the little group comes in. He wipes sweat from his face and smiles. "Oh, hi! You must be Blaine. I heard you were coming today."

[not_a_commie]

Bucky is sitting on the weight bench and grins at the small group and pushes the hair from his forehead. "Hey guys." the solider nods to the group setting down the weights he'd been working with.

Blaine suddenly feels too nervous to speak. He lets go of Coulson so that he can hide a bit behind Clint's legs.

[sonofcoul]

Coulson smothers a smile, because oh, does he sympathize. "Captain Rogers, Sergeant Barnes, this is Blaine Anderson."

[from_a_distance]

Clint lets Blaine hide, but he puts a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Blaine, do you wanna say hi?"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve gets down on one knee so he's not quite so intimidating to the boy.

[not_a_commie]

Bucky grins holding back a quiet laugh, because hey, he was that age once. He sits down next to Steve and waves a little with human fingers. "Heya Blaine."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine slowly comes around. "Nice to meet you," he says, looking from one man to the other. "We didn't mess up your work out did we?"

[sonofcoul]

"I'm sure it's nothing irreparable."

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, don't sweat it, kiddo. They can handle an interruption."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"You can stay and watch a little, if you want." He glances at Bucky for confirmation.

[not_a_commie]

Bucky nods smiling at Steve, "Yeah no problem at all, can show you a couple of moves if you want."

[mediumdrip]

"Really?!" Blaine asks, as if that's two good to be true. He doesn't even care about figuring out which one of them is the Captain now.

[sonofcoul]

Coulson smiles, just a bit. "Pretty sure they wouldn't lie."

[from_a_distance]

Clint grins. "Yeah, you can always take Cap at his word. Bucky too."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Cross my heart," Steve says, crossing it. "On the word of Captain America."

[not_a_commie]

Bucky nods crossing his heart as well with metal fingers. "Yep kid really." He nods, "Show you what ever you want." Bucky is really trying not to laugh at the way Steve says on the word of Captain America bit. But Steve's always been the one that was good at that kind of thing.

"Well, Clint's going to show me how to shoot a bow, so many you can show me..." He frowns a bit in thought and touches his arm where Emma had seen bruises earlier. It's okay now because none of these men know what he's been dealing with back at the group home. "How to dodge a punch? Or throw one?"

[sonofcoul]

Coulson frowns absently at the gesture, but doesn't say anything about it. "You're almost certainly in the right building to learn that."
