Chapter Text
Clint and Darcy came late to dinner. Clint had Darcy propped on his hip, while she rested a shower damp head on his shoulder and blinked sleepily. As they got to where Phil was sitting, Darcy reached silently for Phil. Clint passed her over and Phil cuddled her close in his lap.
"Bath time? "he asked, noting both their wet heads.
"Ehh, was a little sticky after the gym and range. And someone insisted on having a shower too," Clint said, shrugging slightly. "So I set her up in the stall next door with soap and stuff and told her that if she came out still soapy I'd hose her down."
"Interesting technique," Phil said, lips twitching.
"I thought so," Clint said, smirking. "I'ma go grab us some food."
"It looked like you had fun this afternoon," Phil said.
"Mmhmm," Darcy answered, curling closer.
"How was flying?" Phil asked, rubbing her back.
"Sooo cool," Darcy said, smiling beatifically.
"Good." Phil said, then jostled her gently. "C'mon, no sleeping yet, dinner first."
Darcy whined a little but straightened up and rubbed her eyes.
"Not to interrupt you two being disturbingly adorable," Tony called out, doing that very thing, "but yo, bird child."
Tony flicked something from his phone to her.
Darcy blinked a few times and then looked around sleepily. Phil passed her the tablet and she poked at it until the message opened. Then she blinked, straightened up, and actually looked awake.
"What," she said, staring bemusedly at the screen. She tilted it mutely to show Phil.
He looked at it and his eyebrows shot up briefly.
"Interesting casting choice," he commented.
Darcy stared a bit longer before turning to Tony.
"You're crazy," she informed him.
"I am not! It makes perfect sense!" Tony argued.
Darcy flipped her tablet around and tapped at the screen.
"You made Melinda Bo Peep!" she said.
Before Tony could reply, the whole area burst into laughter.
The picture on her screen showed a Darcy as Woody with a Cap spin. At her side was a Bo Peep with black hair and a staff instead of a crook. She was also accompanied by Hamm the piggy bank in a vest with quiver and bow. Slinky Dog had red curls and Widow's Bites on his front legs. And down in front of them was Sarge the leader of the army men, wearing a suit.
Tony waited impatiently for the laughter to die down.
"Of course she's Bo Peep! Movie 4 just proved how badass Bo Peep is- which I already knew," Tony said.
Darcy gaped at him.
"There are. Four. Toy Stories?" she yelled.
Tony blinked and then grinned.
"Oh, ho, those are after your time, aren't they," Tony said, eyes lit up and smile gleeful. "I foresee a marathon in the future."
Darcy turned hopeful eyes to Phil.
"Maybe tomorrow," Phil said, brushing her cheek below the dark circles under her eyes with a thumb.
"Okay," Darcy said, giving a half hearted bounce and yawning. When Clint came back with their food, she turned to him and asked, "Clint did you know there're four Toy Stories?"
"Sure did," Clint answered.
"Phil says we can mebbe watch 'em tomorrow," she said as she applied herself to her meal.
"Awesome!" he answered.
Darcy fell asleep as soon as she finished eating. Phil and Clint waved their goodbyes and carried her out.
