What do did we do this time?

[wearebothangry]

Bruce tucked the blanket gently around Bucky's little body and sighed. He couldn't believe that someone who used to be an assassin could be full of so much energy. And for some weird reason Bucky had taken a shine to Bruce after the accident. When he wasn't cuddling  and playing with Steve he was hanging on Bruce like a monkey. It had only been a day and he was already worn out and ready for one of his world famous Hulk like naps. "Clint," he whispers, "is Steve ready,. Bucky won't stay asleep long without him."

"Department of Children and Family Services would be my best guess," Bruce muses, "we might get more under the microscope then most, but I think it might start a trend."

"Welp... wonder if SHIELD did a good enough job of making my record go away..." He says a little nervously. But he's still smiling at Bruce as he sets his mug aside and uses his legs to pull the man close and give him a soft kiss. "It'll be fine they'll love me." He laughs a little nuzzling into Bruce's neck.

[wearebothangry]

"I'm sure it will go fine." Bruce rumbled kissing Clint back. happily. "we are who we are and we don't have to change that."

Clint nods and smiles warm and easy at Bruce setting his mug aside.

It's a long two weeks but it's a good test run, and well maybe Clint misses little Steve and little Bucky when they are back to normal. But at least he has teasing fodder for years to come.

He moves easily into the little office they have set up for Bruce in their brownstone and looks at him.

"The paperwork showed up..." He says holding a packet in one hand and a mug in the other.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce is actually bothered by the quiet in the house once Steve and Bucky are gone, so when he hears Clint talking he grins and looks over. "Really," he excitedly asked.

[nexttarget]

"Yep." Clint smiles coming in ad setting the packet and the mug down on Bruce's desk. "A lot of stuff to fill out, but once we get this to them.. the kid ball will be rolling." He licks his lips a little. "You know if I pass the background check." He says nervously.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce sips from the mug and smiles. "You'll be fine Clint, Phil promised both of us that while they aren't going to hide anything things would be fine."

[nexttarget]

"Bruce..." He says shaking his head but he smiles and drags the chair next to Bruce and starts going through the thick packet they need to fill out.

"Uhhh what do I put under profession... I mean you can put scientific researcher... I can't really put classified..." He snorts.

[wearebothangry]

"Don't you own an apartment building," Bruce asks, "why not put landlord?"

[nexttarget]

"I don't actually charge anyone rent?" He laughs softly shaking his head. "Hmm sign language interpreter?" He suggests, "It's not a lie, the community center would back me up." He says licking his lips. "Even though it's only two days a week."

[wearebothangry]

"Doesn't matter you still own the place, do both," Bruce says, "I have a feeling both will be a plus in our column,"

[nexttarget]

Clint laughs a little and shrugs but fills out that section with both.

"I'm still nervous as fuck about this babe." He says looking over other places for signatures and other information. "My records are sealed pretty tight thanks to SHIELD but uh someone could probably find them." He says worriedly, pushing a hand through his blond locks.

[wearebothangry]

"I'm scared too Clint," Bruce admits, "My record isn't as clean and there is my father to consider.' He takes a deep breath. "But I want this...with you."

[nexttarget]

"I want it with you too, babe." He smiles giving the doctor a quick peck on the cheek. "Bruce having an abusive father and being an assassin for hire are kind of different in the eyes of CPS..." He snorts joking slightly.

They finish filling out the paper work and send it off with one of the Stark lawyers Clint was still kind of iffy on Shellhead after everything they'd been through. But it seemed the man was trying to make up for everything that had happened.

[wearebothangry]

"I was thinking more about the murder," Bruce said but left it at that. What would be would be and he had a feeling Tony and Fury would speed the process along because that is what friends would do for each other. Since Bruce hadn't been around for the whole Accords mess...thank you Gamemaster, he was one of the few Avengers able to bridge both sides and act as peacemaker. It wasn't easy, but Bruce was long on patience.

"You were a minor and it wasn't your fault... I legit said pay me and I'll kill who you want... within reason and some morals..." He shrugs, he doesn't really feel guilty about it, because none of them were really good people... but still.

"I'm literally an assassin Bruce... I mean that's not why they had me tailing you in the early 2000's but." He shrugs a little.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce waves this off. "I always knew not even Fury would leave me in a blind spot," he said, "both of us were too valuable for that." He sighs. "I suppose the Hulk will come up too won't he?"

[nexttarget]

"Probably but hey the Hulk loves me.. probably will love our kid too..." He laughs a little, "I never understood why people are so scared of him... that just hurts his feelings." Clint smiles a little at Bruce.

"It was mostly in case any of Ross's men came, so someone could handle them... protection for you... and the other guy not protecting others from you."

[wearebothangry]

"He's big and green. People are scared of him because of that. It's stupid but true," he muttered softly, "most people don't even know he can talk if he wants. He's just as much me as I'm him."

[nexttarget]

"So's the jolly green giant and people love that asshole." Clint teases leaning over and giving Bruce a playful kiss.

It takes time but they get through the paperwork, and now it the part Clint is good at, waiting... though he feels a little more pressure with waiting for the call then when he's waiting for a shot.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce does his best to calm Clint down but he is as eager as his lover for the call to come.

Clint tries to settle himself with some yoga, and some time at the range, going on long runs with Lucky. Who he currently sitting on the couch watching dog cops with... It's been almost and month, and then... Bruce's phone rings buzzing around on the dinner table.
