The Lone Wolf (Clint Barton)

Chapter 11: Rodeo

(As an apology for not updating on Sunday morning, I decided to go ahead and publish this part also. Hope you enjoy it!)

Jackie POV:

The next morning I got up at 5:30 and got dressed. I quickly braided my hair so it would be out of my face. I wrote a quick note to Clint and then placed my hat on. I smiled at him sleeping so peacefully and closed the door. I called an old buddy to come to pick me up and waited outside the hotel for them. Soon a truck pulling a horse trailer pulled up and the passenger window rolled down.

"How are you doing Tyler?" I asked. Introducing Tyler Magmus, a professional and famous team rodeo roper. He's also someone who is like a grandpa to me. I met him on a mission when I went undercover in the rodeo business, saving my life once by wounding the target. We've kept in contact since then.

"I'm doing good Jackie. Sure happy to see you." Tyler said.

I smiled. "I'm glad to see you too. Raven and Diablo in the back?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yup. So's your tack. You ready to go?"

"Born ready." I said, getting in the passenger seat before Tyler drove off.

Clint POV:

I opened my eyes and sat up, rubbing my eyes, trying to remember what happened that I had such a horrible headache. Aha, I'm hungover. I looked around the room to see a bottle of water with Advil next to it. There was also a note. I looked at the clock that read 2:39 pm and walked over to see who it was from. It was from Winter, just liked I figured.

Dear Любовь,
I'm going out for today. I'll meet you and the team at the rodeo tonight. There'll be someone waiting for yall at the gate so you won't have to pay and they will also direct you to a private box. Don't wait for me, just go to the box and wait. Please wear the outfit I set out for since that is what the person will be looking for.
Love, Winter

Well, that was great. At least we won't have to pay for tickets, but I don't know why she would be gone so long. Guess I'll find out later tonight. I texted Natasha and the others to see if she was up yet.

Clint: Hey guys, you up?

Steve: Been awake since 6:30.

Sam: Yeah, you woke me up!

Steve: You said you wanted to go running this morning.

Nat: Oh shut up you two.

Clint: So just us four are awake?

Tony: Nope.

Steve: How the hell are you up? You were drunker than any of them last night!

Bruce: He runs on coffee and alcohol at home.

Nat: That is very true.

Tony: Hey!

Sam: We all know it's true.

Clint: Yup.

Steve: Mhmm.

Bruce: So everyone up?

Sam: What about Jackie?

Clint: She's gone. Said that she would meet us at the rodeo. Also said that someone was going to be there to meet us at the gate so we wouldn't have to pay for tickets and they would also take us to a private box.
