The milk run assigned to the newly formed Strike Team Delta as their first mission had an equipment list that, rather pointedly, did not include anything that could conceivably cause explosions, implosions, or any large scale destruction that might endanger civilian lives and SHIELD’s reputation, which meant that when the explosions, implosions, and destruction - far from any civilians, it must be said - started happening Agent Coulson was the only member of the support and observation team who appeared unconcerned.

“She made a tumble dryer explode with the fluff left inside it,” Clint gleefully explained later, his hair still slightly smoking, whilst the Black Widow stood behind him, arms crossed, aiming exasperated-fond-amusement at Clint and glares of suspicion at everyone else. “So that does that mean I get my exploding arrows back for next time, sir?”

I have recently discovered - not be personal experience, I hasten to add - that not cleaning the fluff out of your tumble dryer can cause it to set on fire. I’m sure Strike ( ... )

Yay, glad you like :) Hmm, bonus:

the world is our arsenal (pg, warning: underestimation, learn not to do it)

The arguments about whether Strike Team Delta should even be a thing were long and came to few conclusions other than ‘they should only have minimal weapons access until their risk assessment reads less like a goddamn joke, this is common sense people!’

Meanwhile every Agent who’d learnt not to underestimate Clint Barton and all those who’d heard the rumours of how effective the Black Widow was without any weaponry at all attempted to keep their amusement and headshaking to a minimum.

And Director Fury signed off on it because he was curious what they’d do.

I love all of this, especially the (C)lint explosion!

PS: and yes, dryer fluff can be weaponized, just like flour dust (in the right circumstances).

(C)lint explosion HA!

Flour dust and custard powder. And now lint. This concerns me. In a more-amused-than-I-should-be fashion ;)

Haha! I adore both of these ficlets. They have so much personality and adventure crammed into such a short space. And this line is the best:

Thank you :D Ha, I imagine Fury signing things off that he keeps in paperwork piles that have titles (inside his head) of Things That Will Go Right, Things That Will Go Wrong For Someone Who Probably Deserves It, Things That Will Go Wrong For The Person Stupid Enough To Submit This... Because learning experiences ;)

Oh of course Clint would try and twist this into a pro-exploding-arrows argument while he's still smoldering. Of course he would. XD

Of course he would :D Exploding arrows are just more convenient and faster, and he needs to keep up (and show off to *cough*) Natasha.
