the wedding - open rp post

[wereokay]

The big day is finally here and Betty shifts between being extremely nervous one minute, and completely calm the next. Guests are arriving already, and after the short ceremony there is going to be a comfortable reception.

Even though the approach to this wedding has been somewhat casual, there is no mistaking the investment in time and effort. It's an outdoor wedding, and the gazebo couldn't be decorated any further, flowers and ribbons are basically everywhere.

If you hurry, you can catch the bride to wish her luck!

Clint would be lying if he said that wasn’t half what he was expecting. He wasn’t able to walk in, armed, but his bow and arrows were stowed in his car and he had a tracking bug on him that he just had to slip onto the bride as soon as he got the chance. If everything went to hell he was prepared, and he got enough fancy arrows to try that he was confident that at least one of them would work to take down the Hulk if need be.

“Here’s hoping,” Clint replied, following Natasha’s line of sight as she seemed to fix her gaze on the trees. “Or that he’s too heartbroken to get angry.”

Scanning the trees again he suddenly froze when he saw a distinct flash of white. Taking a few steps away from Natasha without a word he got a slightly better view and positively identified the bride. She was still partially hidden by a tree along with whomever she was talking to. Clint had a feeling he knew who it was.

“Or maybe we’re gonna get a runaway bride all on her own...”

Leave it to 'Hawkeye' to find the smallest hint in the distance. Natasha took an instinctive step towards the trees, but stopped on second thought.

"Well. Maybe we should let them get away."

So long as the Hulk was kept away, she really didn't see how it was any of their business what happened. A smaller part of Natasha actually wanted to see them run off together. No offense to Dr Samson, but the happy ending she preferred was Banner's own.

It was like a fairy tale, of a kind. Natasha surprised herself at the sentimentalism that came from working with the 'Avengers' as Tony was so fond of labeling them.

Clint raised an eyebrow in surprised at Natasha’s comment. It could be that she was just looking to stay out of all of it, but then why was she really here at all? No, he was pretty sure there was more to it than just letting what would happen happen.

“Why Nat, I do believe you might be a hopeless romantic at heart,” Clint teased her, but there was obvious affection in his words, like he had just discovered something wonderful about her. “Don’t worry, I’m not gonna interfere if I don’t have to. I’m not here for Bruce, I’m only here in case he let’s the other guy out.”

Turning his attention back to the trees, he kept a close eye on the bride. “Maybe we should let Tony know he’s here, though. The two have a kind of rapport. Might not be bad to have him on Bruce duty depending on how things go here.”
