Guests are greeted by a trail of rose petals to lead them to the rooftop. With the sun setting, the view across the harbor would be magnificent, and a perfect backdrop to an elegantly displayed table. There are various platters of charcuterie, wine bottles dotting the side tables, and an open bar at the back. Side tables are placed in comforting nooks, and there is ample seating for all.

Smells of various meats cooking on the barbeque waft through the air, and the host himself will be manning one of them. Contrary to popular belief, Thor can cook. After all, a warrior who cannot feed himself quickly becomes thin.

Welcome to all. Thor hopes you all enjoy your evening, and if things become messy, please -- seek your host. He will happily find you a space to relax and wind down if required. The last thing he wants is hurt feelings.

Clint/Nat (D3!)

Nat had glanced around as others were making themselves known. Nat had been at the party for a while now. As usual, she kept to a corner and just watched the others. It'd been a long while since everyone was together for a party. The last time was right before the Ultron incident. And even that felt like a different lifetime ago.

She had a drink in hand already as she came to take a sup from time to time, her hair back to red. She didn't dress fancy in a skirt this time, but rather black leather pants and a white tank top like shirt that came to her hips.

Again, another sip of her drink was taken as she looked around for her other half.

	There he was—or rather the back of him, in a leather jacket more reminiscent of his Avengers gear (a kind of armor maybe) than the plaid and flannel he'd been sporting around the apartment. —and there he went, making a beeline for Frigga's rose garden. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	The fact that Clint thought he could escape Nat was hilarious. So when he made his exit, so did she. It wasn't long before she found herself outside at a rose garden as she crossed her arms and glanced from one side to the next. A soft whistle was made to locate Clint.

Clint was fuming. Or seething. Or possibly having a panic attack.

Either something had just happened with Loki or he'd spotted something going on with Loki from afar, [Continuity what], or something had come too close to scraping through the layer of Agent Barton to the bleeding pulse of Clint. Or both. But he'd needed to get away. And in that moment could only remember Thor's recommendation of the garden.

He'd reached it only to remember that gardens weren't exactly his scene. But breathing was slowing and getting a bit easier, so he inhaled deeply and got a healthy waft of rose scent. The whistle made him wonder if the whiff had made him heady. Then he got ahold of himself and whistled through his teeth back, making his way toward the other's source.

Once that whistle was returned, Nat smiled. Only to have steps lead her toward Clint at this point. Whatever he was going through, she was going to make sure he didn't go through it alone. They'd never left each other's side except the last few years and even they kept in touch.

It wasn't long before Cint came into her view, arms crossed over one another as she stood there. Nat didn't do gardens. Never, and neither did Clint, so to find him here caught her off guard.

Slighly.

Clint had composed himself enough that most people wouldn't be able to tell he'd just been hyperventilating. Nat wasn't most people. Would probably be able to see his still-elevated pulse in his neck or the dampness at his hairline or something. So he outed himself before she had to.

"Had a bad moment," he said, gesturing vaguely back in the direction of the party. "Didn't want to have it over there."

Nat knew Clint. Probably better than he knew himself. So when a trained spy/assassin knew you, it was best to just tell the truth. Made things easier, so when Clint confessed she sighed deeply. "Come on." She said walking with him a bit deeper into the gardens.

"What triggered it? Or was it everything?" he had a feeling it was everything. But she wasn't going to say anything. "Hit me." he said taking a stance across from him. This was their therapy.

And it worked all the time.

He shook his head. "I don't want to hit you." He didn't know what he wanted.

Yes he did. He just wanted to lie down on the grass until he could breathe without thinking about it and get back in sync with the world's spinning.

All right, he thought of a way that made it okay. Ludicrous, but good enough. Clint lowered himself to the ground, then reached up to point at the stars. "Bet I can name more than you."

	Nat scuffed at Clint for the moment. "Never pegged you as the stars kinda guy." She stated playfully and teasingly. Nat came to sit next to Clint, as she leaned back with her hands behind her head and looked u to the stars for the moment. "How you holding up, truthfully?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

/"Never pegged you as the stars kinda guy." She stated playfully and teasingly. /

Clint made a face at her, then pointed at the stars as he named them. "Deneb, Vega, Altair, Rasalhague, Arcturus, Alioth, Dubne, Polaris…"

/"How you holding up, truthfully?"/

He likewise put his hands behind his head, which brought his elbow to rest gently against hers.

"Too well," he said in a low voice. "I should be nonfunctional. This is not how a bereaved parent acts. It makes me wonder what's real. Or when the crash is gonna come. But it just feels… like it never really happened. Laura. My kids. It's so distant. Feels like a dream I woke up from and it was wonderful and I miss it but… it was never going to last." He glanced sidelong at her. "All that feels real is SHIELD and the Avengers and… you." The alternate lives side by side... now resolved into only one.

Nat felt her elbow brushing against Clint and the way he named the stars. A smile over her features. He always seemed to amaze her some way or another. She didn't say anything about Laura and the kids... What could she? What she could do was listen to him.

"Well, lucky for you, Fury has something for us to do. Keep you occupied until we know exactly what's going on here." She said looking over to Clint for the moment.

	"Is that what you do?" he asked, knowing he once knew the answer but not certain of anything anymore. "Just stay occupied?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)
