To Each His Own, Chapter 13 by shadesfalcon
She’d been following him through the hallways without comment, just tailing along behind in her distinctive silence. Until she noticed that there were at the exit. So much so that Clint was already handing over the paperwork to the appropriate guards.
“We’re on a mission?” she asked, clearly frustrated. “I’m not warmed up. Do you have the files? I’ll get caught up while we’re on the road, I promise.”
Clint grinned at her rant, which made her fall silent but seemed to increase her annoyance.
“We’re not going out on a mission. I just thought you’d like some fresh air. As indicated by your question, you don’t get out for anything besides missions.” The first set of gates buzzed open and Clint drew her into the tunnel. “Besides, I haven’t been getting out that often either. If I’m starting to get antsy, I know you have to be.”
“I’m okay.” But her murmur was belied by her increasingly eager steps down the tunnel. In fact, by the time they hit the last gate check, she was literally pressed against the links, willing them open.
