The thing is, Danny doesn't get into these situations, okay? He'd just like to go along with his day, thwart a crime or two, book the perps and have a nice evening with some beer and a game on. No, these situations are something he laughs about at Steve because that man is absolutely crazy enough to end up locked up in a walk-in freezer by aliens while he's on vacation in Jersey. Danny? Danny just wanted to get some donuts.
But did he get any donuts? No. No, he didn't. And do you know why Danny didn't get any donuts? Because a) the store was out - and what the hell shop runs out of donuts; no wonder the economy is crashing - no donuts, not even those cheap dry ones, and b) aliens. Aliens, in the store where Danny wanted to buy his donuts, and now he's the one being stored until the aliens - aliens! - come back to get their Häagen-Danny from the freezer.
"Yeah," the guy he's huddling up with to conserve at least some heat says. "They're probably gonna use one of those ice-cream scoops to get at your brain, too."
Not for the first time, Danny stares at his freezermate. The guy's intense, muscled, holds himself like a fighter, has a stare like a laser. If his hair were dark instead of a muddy blond, Danny might think he's locked up with Steve.
Except that Steve prefers guns and grenades to the arrow that guy is fiddling with. Who even carries around a bow and arrow in the middle of New Jersey?
"Yes, very funny. Did you notice you're in here too, huh?" Danny eyes the guy's sleeveless shirt. They're both shivering already, the cold settling slowly in their bones. "What, you think they're going to be so occupied with my juicy, frozen brain they'll forget all about yours?"
"Nah," the guy says with a sudden grin that makes Danny blink at him. "Got a bird brain. I'm not in danger."
And then Clint uses the arrowhead to explode the door and free them, and Danny can start in on a whole new rant about people who carry explosives on their person and use them in confined spaces and seriously, that's the way he's going to die some day, friendly exothermic reaction (thank you, Steve). Forget the aliens, it's the crazy people in his life who endanger it the most. And Clint nods his way through the rant because it's not like he's never got yelled at by Fury before and it's kind of the same, and makes a mental note to introduce this guy to Natasha just to see what happens.
Natasha pretty much adopts Danny. Her infrequent visits to Hawai'i are legendary. And scary.

Now I want ALL THE FIC of Danny and Natasha, with bonus Natasha teaching Grace how to knock out someone without being seen and Steve giving Constipated Hamster Face when he finds out because that's HIS job, damnit.
...seriously, I will make you cookies. I make awesome cookies. I can give you you references.
