Gosh, I Love Arrows || Clint & Aeron
If there was one perk to knowing Tony Stark, it was getting cool, free stuff. There were of course, in actuality, plenty of other great perks to knowing Tony, but “free” had always been Clint’s favorite price, and it even came with the additional bonus of usually not having to ask for things in order for them to be made. Clint liked getting stuff, but he didn’t really like asking. He didn’t need a whole lot (he’d learned to live with very little at a young age), and usually preferred to get his stuff through his own means and his own hard work. The one exception to this rule, was arrows; He needed a lot, and he needed them to be much fancier than anything he could dream of building, and when it came to arrows, no one made them cooler than Tony Stark.
Of course, he knew it wasn’t always Tony building them -- it was more than likely he’d stopped bothering making them himself after the third or fourth time he’d had to. Clint was quite sure the task had been passed off to a series of assistants and interns at Stark Industries, leaving their great leader to pursue much more interesting assignments. Clint didn’t mind. He knew he was still getting Tony’s design, Tony’s brilliance, and if there was ever a problem with the arrows, Tony would be the first to know.
He was headed to the lab today to pick up a new set of arrows, and was told to meet with an Aeron Pike. He didn’t know what to expect of Aeron Pike: He wished he could say Tony had told him anything about Aeron Pike, but the truth of the matter was, he hadn’t ever heard the name until he got the call saying his arrows were ready for pickup. He didn’t even know if Aeron Pike was a man or a woman.
The elevator came to a halt with a soft ding, and the doors slid smoothly open. Clint stepped out into the lab, feeling only a little out of place. It didn’t matter how many times he’d been there and would go there in the future, he didn’t think he’d ever feel at home in a place like that. “Uhh, hi,” he said to the first face he found. “I’m here to pick up some arrows.”
