angles on an angel
rating: PG
characters: Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff
warnings: mentions of past violence
prompt: Natasha is undercover at a private boarding school as a dance instructor. Her primary objective is keeping the daughters of a diplomat(?)safe. Clint is doing the hard work, watching Natasha's back from any and all high spots he can find. In any other time and place, he doubts anyone would have noticed him. Unfortunately, he's been spotted by a few of the young girls (who knew that children could be so observant when adults so rarely are) and he and Natasha have to think quick before everything falls apart. - lar_laughs

summary: Elton John's tiny dancer was iconic. Clint's are tinier, nosier, and safe for the moment - because it's his job to keep it that way. Maybe his lie holds more truth than he knows.

author's note: So I missed lar_laughs's birthday, then stumbled across this prompt when the ATTF post got me going through old promptathons. The following is what happened afterwards. (I bumped the ages down so the kids are now just attending dance lessons; hope that's okay.) Happy belated birthday! :)

note II: Many thanks to cybermathwitch for her beta'ing! All mistakes are mine.
