Clint just sent Natasha a bit of a Look and shook his head just slightly. He really, really didn't want to have to explain that before they got back to the tower. It was definitely not a discussion to have before they were home.

"Okay," Victoria said. Stretching a little, she got out and waited for him to go so she could follow him.

Natasha inclined her head a little. She would honor that. For now.

"Food?" Jasmine prompted Clint again. She really was hungry now.

Bucky walked with her into the airport, a little more tense now that they were around people again, watching everything around them.

Clint nodded and pulled some cash out of his pocket. He handed it to her.

"There are a few stands around the corner. Get whatever you like." He watched carefully to see her reaction.

Victoria stuck a bit closer to him when they went into the crowds. Being around so many people so soon was making her a bit nervous.

Jasmine nodded, glanced between him and Natasha once more, and then moved off to find something to eat. After being so close to Clint for so long, it felt odd, being away from him.

Bucky just encouraged her to keep close, although he did relax a little when he spotted Clint and Natasha, heading straight over to them.

Clint kept an eye on her for as long she was in sight, and found he was a bit antsy as soon as she was around the corner. Well, that was new.

Victoria moved a bit so that she was behind Bucky as they got closer to the other two. She didn't know them, so she didn't know if they were safe to be around, and she wanted her Alpha between her and them until she was sure.

"Clint, Talia." Bucky nodded to them both. "Any new surprises?"

"Nothing unexpected," Natasha drawled. "We're ready to go as soon as his charge comes back." She nodded a little at Clint.

Victoria peeked out from behind him to look at the other two.

"She should be back soon," Clint said, glancing in the direction Jasmine had gone.

Bucky just nodded and stayed put, letting Victoria hide behind him. He didn't mind.

It took Jasmine a few more minutes to come back, but she had enough snack foods to share. She paused when she saw Victoria before immediately going over to check on her.

Victoria blinked when she saw Jasmine.

"Jas!" she said, turning so she could see her friend. "Are you alright?"

Clint paused at that, and then shrugged. Hey, it was okay that Jasmine was with her friend. He nodded a bit to Bucky.

"Made it through the week?" he asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Jasmine assured her with a little grin. "What about you? Are you okay? How did you hold up?" She looked her friend over quickly.

Bucky nodded. "Yeah, went okay." Better than it could have, but not as well as it probably should have. He knew he'd be hearing about this from Steve.

"I'm alright," Victoria replied. "It felt like a really long week. What about you, were you alright?"

"You too, then?" Clint asked. He had a pretty good idea of what had happened.

"Longest week ever." Jasmine sighed. "But it wasn't all bad," she admitted cautiously.

Bucky's lips twitched in a little grimace, and he nodded. At least he wouldn't be the only one being flayed alive.

"Mine wasn't either," Victoria admitted, a little warily. "He's... nice."

"Good. I'd kill him if he wasn't." Jasmine nodded, satisfied for now.

"We all ready?" Natasha asked, glancing between them all. She was ready to go home and be done with this clusterfuck of a mission.

Clint nodded. He was more than ready to head home, even if it meant explaining exactly where the mission went south and just how far it went.

Victoria nodded, though she was a bit hesitant. Home sounded wonderful, but she wasn't sure whether or not she'd be allowed to go back to the apartment at all or if her Alpha would insist she stay with him.

Jasmine nodded and stuck close to Victoria as Natasha led the way out to the jet. She went up first, and Bucky ushered the girls up after her. Jasmine couldn't help but stare a bit at the really, really nice and very clearly private jet.

Bucky waited until the girls were on to climb the stairs himself, standing to the side waiting for them to settle.

Victoria stared a bit as well, and was a little hesitant to sit down in the obviously expensive seats.

"May as well get comfortable," Clint said as he settled in. "Flight's a bit on the long side, even in a jet."

Jasmine settled down next to Victoria after a few moments of silent debate. Because she wanted to sit with her new alpha now, but Victoria was more important, so she ignored her Omega instincts (as she so often did) and sat with her friend.

Bucky settled near Clint, sprawling out a bit and trying to relax.

Victoria leaned over so she was leaning against Jasmine. Even though the majority of her Omega instincts were telling her to go to her Alpha, a small part of her was content to be with another Omega.

Clint settled in, idly folding some paper into a paper football. He rummaged around until he found a rubber band, cheerfully ignoring the Look he knew Natasha was sending him.

Bucky snorted at him but was happy to play with Clint for a while. It was easy and familiar and kind of comforting after the week he'd had.

Clint grinned and used the rubber band like a slingshot, flinging the little paper football at him. He managed to nail him right on the metal shoulder, and he smirked a bit.

Bucky used his normal hand, since his metal one would just kill the football, and flung it right back at Clint. His shot went a little low, hitting him in the stomach, but he was still smirking.

Clint grinned.

"Your aim is terrible," he said. "We can work on that when we get home."

Bucky calmly flipped him off, though he was smirking a little.

"We'll just see about that."

"Bet I can convince Cap that you need the work," Clint retorted, smirking. "He'd think it's a great idea."
