After All We've Been Through (Steve x reader)

When All Else Fails

   Clint typed a series of commands into the blinking screen "{Captain America Issued Language}! Nat, I need some help here!"

   The redhaired woman hangs up her call and sighs deeply and pushes Clint aside "I don't know how you ever became a S.H.I.E.L.D operative without learning to read computer code"

   "Uh, genius? I wasn't hired to be a tech whiz!" Clint rolls his eyes "And I can read computer code."

   Natasha sasses "Not this one obviously. Says the system is down."

   "Doesn't Tony's system operate independently?" Clint slides up next to her "Its a closed system, isn't it?"

   "True, true" Natasha chews thoughtfully on her lower lip, and shifts her weight from foot to foot.

   Clint pulls himself up to the desk using Natasha as an anchor, and rests his chin on her shoulder "Sooo.. what's going on? With Y/N and Steve, I mean."

   Natasha fits her younger between her lips "She has a lot of questions. Mostly about our last mission, but since we weren't with Steve through out the whole thing I couldn't answer a lot of them."

   "I hope nothing's wrong" Clint swings side to side in the office chair "As much as I'd hate to lose Steve again, I would be even more worried for Y/N. That girl has taken on a lot since she started seeing him."

   "Hm" Natasha agrees "I still think she would be a good addition to the team."

   Clint wraps his fingers around the bit of skin just between Natasha's jeans and t- shirt "You can't force her. I'm surprised she hasn't given up on us altogether"

   "She kinda has" Natasha interjects.

   Her fingers fly across the screen as she answers "Looks like... you... screwed up ... Barton."

The system remains uncooperative though, Natasha is able to clear a few pages.

   "How is this my fault?" Clint throws up his hands "It's not like this has happened before!"

   The Russian girl gives him a knowing grin as she pulls away from the screen "Either way, I'm telling Tony you did it!"

   "That's not fair!"

   She rolls her eyes "Oh, grow up, Clint! Eh, there's our problem."

   Clint squints at the holographic messages flashing across the screen "Spyware detected. System will now shut down. No! Nonono!"

  He waves his hands at the fading screen, as if he cold stop it.

  "So much for that method"

  "{Captain America Issued Language}" Clint runs calloused fingers through his hair.

   "I second that" Natasha sits heavily on his lap.

   The beepbeepbeep of the back up alarm startles them both.

   "Pepper? Nat? Clint? Anyone?" Tony's voice is echoes in the darkened rooms.

"In the office!" Natasha yells "What's the deal with your system, Stark?"

Tony bursts in followed by Rhodey who nods at the two.

"You tell me" he pushes both out of the way and settles in front of the screen.

"Clint did it" Natasha holds up her hands.

"That's no-"Clint begins.

Tony closes his eyes "Both of you shut up and get out! You'd think I was running a home for wayward teenagers."

"Fine" Clint threads his fingers in Natasha's "Going."

Natasha looks over her shoulder with a sly glance at Rhodey "I bet Pepper feels like that all the time!"

"Ooo! She told you!" The other man hops around the room trying to contain his laughter.

Tony gives him an annoyed look.

"I'm not apologizing!"
