"The Take-Down"
Avengers AU
Clint Barton; 1,657 words
Rated PG for some minor swearing; no spoilers

Clint drops and breaks a wooden sculpture he’s fake-browsing when the target palms a couple of pastries off a cart and hands them to the beggar kid who’s been hanging out in the alley all day. Dozens of lira fall from the target’s sleeve, pay buskers and street-performers for jobs well (or not-so-well) done. When a couple drunks get into a brawl outside a restaurant, they’re peeled apart by a stranger they never saw coming—and the target lays them out on the street before the cops round the corner.

Clint’s never seen someone move like that before. It’s enough that he forgets to follow for the first couple seconds after, just ‘cause he’s that impressed.

It's supposed to be just a simple take-down. )
