Autumn thought for a moment, then grinned wickedly.

"We can still do our shopping," she said. "Especially since a pair of perfectly good packmules have provided themselves to us."

"I object, I don't want to go shopping," Clint said.

"Too bad, you followed me to Florida, you get to be a packmule." Alexis grinned wickedly and started walking, looking for another good store to raid.

"Nope, I refuse to be a packmule, this is not happening," Tony said.

"You're the ones who showed up uninvited," Autumn said, shrugging. Clint just made a face.

"I hate shopping," he grumbled.

"Too damn bad." Alexis grinned and headed into a Lush store, because she liked their stuff.

Tony made a face and waited outside.

Clint stayed with Tony as the girls went into the store.

"Still infinitely better than what's-his-face," he commented to the genius.

"She knows how to deal with us," Tony pointed out. "He doesn't have a damn clue what to do." He scowled a bit.

"Although I'm a bit surprised you brought up the idea of going after her."

"Hey, you were just as miserable," Clint pointed out, neatly avoiding the second, implied question.

"True enough. But not miserable enough to be aiming nerf darts at his head." Tony grinned. That had been kind of one of the most hysterical moments since the stupid temp handler, after all.

"Hey, he deserved it," Clint said. "Even Cap thought so."

"Perfect proof that he sucks and should never to assigned to us again." Tony huffed and glanced inside to check on the girls.

"And I did notice you didn't answer me earlier, that was not evasion, you're not that sneaky."

"Answer what? You didn't ask anything," Clint pointed out, jumping on the technicality. "Besides, all I did was find out where she was, it was your idea to fly out here."

Tony didn't question him any more for the moment; he knew he wouldn't get anything. But he was already turning over the puzzle in his mind.

Alexis glanced between the two as she emerged with a bag, raising an eyebrow. So far they hadn't destroyed anything, at least.

Clint raised an eyebrow at her in return.

"It's like you don't trust us or something," he teased, grinning.

"I've looked through all your paperwork. Of course I don't trust you. And you're no better, Stark, you invented flying semi-sentient Roombas."

Tony shut his mouth from when he'd been about to object and just grumbled instead.

"One of the minions tried to steal one from SHIELD," Autumn commented. "It almost worked."

Clint just snickered. He loved the Roombas.

Alexis shook her head a bit and started for the next store, muttering to herself.

Tony trailed along after them, still grumbling a bit.

Clint grinned cheekily and followed her, just waiting to be made a packmule. Because he knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of time.

Indeed, it didn't take long for Alexis to start handing off bags to him. Tony got away with not carrying bags because he was paying for dinner and agreed to get them a few baubles if that meant he didn't have to be a packmule.

So after their successful shopping day, Alexis kind of really wanted to take a picture of Clint, laden down as he was.

Clint just carried them all without complaint. Hey, he was secure enough in his masculinity to carry shopping bags, no problem.

"So, drop these off at our rooms first?" Alexis asked after they'd explored the whole mall.

Autumn nodded.

"Sounds good to me," she said. She glanced at the guys, and Clint just shrugged.

Alexis nodded after a moment and headed back to their hotel.

At that point, Tony took Autumn's bags from Clint, grinning briefly at the archer and waggling his eyebrows before he turned to Autumn. "Lead the way, I feel like being nice."

Autumn raised an eyebrow, but nodded and headed to her room.

Clint pointedly ignored Tony and looked at Alexis.

"Lead on," he said.

Alexis nodded after a moment and headed back to her room, unlocking it and heading inside. She figured for now she'd just dump the bags on the little couch in the room and deal with it later.

Clint followed with the bags, putting them down where she indicated.

"So now what?" he asked, looking at her.
