Fic: Retirement on a Hero's Budget (Avengers MCU)
This prompt idea has been rattling around in my head for over a week now. If I'd let it get away from me, it would have been a multi-chaptered fic but that would have required a little more research into wildland fire crews. While I'm in close proximity to several of their crews and have seen their work up close, I'm not an expert in their day-to-day lives. Since the last thing I need to be doing is more research, you're getting a short story instead.
Title: Retirement on a Hero's Budget
Fandom: Avengers MCU
Characters: Clint/Natasha, Steve, Bruce
Rating: Teen and Up (some swearing)
Word Count: 1547
Prompt: From sugar_fey: Clint and Natasha have retired from active duty. Maybe they have desk jobs, maybe they run a bar frequented by agents, maybe they've been hired by the private sector or they do another job entirely.
Then the world is threatened.
Suddenly Steve and Tony* are at their door, asking if they want to suit up with the Avengers once more.
*I use Bruce. For reasons.
Summary: Clint falls off one building too many and the doctors tell him he needs to hang up the leather and lycra. What's a superhero to do? He decides to retire to the Rocky Mountains where he goes into something safer... like fighting wildfires.
But sometimes the heroes in leather and lycra still need help.
