You could always just see Clint after...

That's what you'd thought to yourself after he went off with Tony and Bruce. While he did that, you stayed in the lab to help shut the machines down and get things locked up for the night. It took a little longer than expected, but after everything was done, you wandered down to the lab to see how things were coming along. Only Bruce was the only person in there.

"Oh, hey Bruce." You say as you stand in the entry way of the lab. "Are Tony or Clint in here?" You ask, looking around the space. Bruce glances up from the magnifying glass he was using and set his tools down.

"Oh, hey, (y/n). And no. Barton left a little while ago once we got the suit off him, and Tony about maybe five minutes ago." He informs you, making you frown just a bit.

"Oh.. well alright. Thanks anyway." You hum, figuring that must mean Clint was back in his room.

Once you get to his room, you knock softly, not wanting to just walk in on him if he was in there. When no reply came though, you tried one more time, knocking a bit louder this time.

"Clint? You in there?" You listened for a reply, but nothing came. Carefully, you push the door open a crack and call out his name again, hoping it was ok to be entering his room.

He wasn't in his room though. His room was completely empty. Racking your brain, you tried to think of other places where he could be. You'd passed the kitchen on the way up, so he wasn't in there either. Your next thought was the gym, but it was all the way downstairs by the labs. Sighing softy, you turned to the AI for help.

"Uh, hey Friday?" You ask, still standing in the middle of Clint's room. This was probably the cleanest one of his spaces had been, but then again, he didn't have many possessions in his room to actually make it messy.

"Yes, Miss (y/l/n)?" The AI asks you. Tony had reinstalled the AI when he came back, saying that having it would make the work around the tower easier. You never realized how much you missed it till now.

"Is Clint down in the gym?"

"I'm afraid I cannot answer that. Clint's location has been turned off for the time being." Comes the reply, making you frown. Why would he turn his location off? Clint was a very private person, but he normally kept it on.

"Umm.. ok. How many people are currently in the gym?" You ask instead, and there's as brief pause as if the AI realized you'd found a way around the privacy block.

"There is one person in the gym."

"Who is it?" You ask, almost hoping it would tell you that that information was not available. That would have meant Clint was there.

"Natasha Romanoff." The answer comes, making you curse.

"And is there anyone with her?" You ask, and your answer comes immediately.

"No." You frown. Then where could he have gone to? Maybe it was just best you leave him be. If he turned his location off, then it was clear he didn't want to be found.

"Ok, thanks anyway FRIDAY." You say with a sigh. Right as you were about leave his room and just go back to your own, the AI speaks again.

"It was a very nice night out, Miss (y/l/n). The skies are going to be very clear. Perfect for star gazing." That made you pause at Clint's door.

"Is.. that a hint, FRIDAY?" You ask, but the AI just brushes you off.

"No. I am simply informing you how nice it will be for stargazing. Best view would be from the roof. Have a good night Miss (y/l/n)." You smile to yourself.
