Bunny Drabble Fluffy

"There are easier ways to eat rabbit," Clint retorted. The white bunny merely paused in his eating.

"Wanda has a performance in Russia this weekend so she needed someone to babysit Mr. Darwin," Phil explained.

"Dutiful boyfriend," Clint commented with a smile. Phil shrugged.

Clint bent down to the cage and Phil made a rookie mistake.
Never take your eyes off Barton.

"I used to have one like this," Clint said and Phil looked up to see him hugging it out of the cage.

"I don't think that's a good idea. I think you should put it back," Phil told him.

"It's fine," Clint assured him seconds before the bunny squirmed and bounded out of his grasp.

"Get that bunny!" Phil ordered. Then, the door opened.

"Coulson, I had a question-" started Sitwell. A streak of white could be seen making his escape.

"Is this really necessary?" Clint asked.

"You lost her bunny. Accept the consequences," Phil spoke and looked in the viewfinder.
Clint was dressed as a bunny. Phil could have opted for a simple Halloween costume. Instead, he went for a replica of Ralphie's pink bunny pajamas from the classic film.

"It could still show up," Clint spoke.

"On the helicarrier?" Phil retorted.

"Could this cellist really be this scary?" Clint asked. Phil pressed the button and the Polaroid came out with a satisfying pop. He liked the fragility of the image and how it didn't have a backup negative so he'd stockpiled all he could.

In a noncommittal way, he answered, "I wouldn't underestimate Wanda."

Epilogue: ANGSTY (movie spoilers)

Clint struggled with the paperwork. It wasn't that hard but he couldn't help wondering how much of this would have been given to Phil. He could still smell his coffee and aftershave in the room. Phil's office was left unscathed from the explosions and hulk and Thor and everything he'd done...

Clint appreciated how hard Stark and Rogers were campaigning on his behalf, almost as much as Nat. Phil had always been his biggest supporter but he was gone now, no matter how many times that Clint looked up and expected to see him coming in.

There was an odd sound in the room. He'd dismissed it at first as settling debris or a rat. By now, it had to be a rat. He took out the taser they'd issued him in place of actual weapons. Then, he bent down on the floor and tried to look for it.
White bounded out at him.

"Mr. Darwin?"

***********************************************************

Clint was tempted to keep him but it wasn't right so here he was in Portland. He was waiting backstage with the rabbit in his carrier. The animal appeared unharmed from his weeks lost in the floating fortress. However, he did seen a little stressed.

The different members of the orchestra filed past when he saw a brunette with a cello. She saw him and came over. They had never actually met. She was gorgeous.

"Barton, I recognize you from the Polaroid. What are you doing here?" she asked in an accent he couldn't quite place.

He held up the cage.

"He just turned up yesterday," Clint told her. Her face softened and he wondered if she was going to cry. Then, it seemed to harden unto a resolve. He'd seen that look so many times on other people.

"Barton, you and I are going to get Phil back."
