Avengers Tower- Clint's New York- Saturday evening

The sun had gone down (you're welcome, vampire friends) and the lights brightening the outside of Avengers Tower had gone on. The outcropping had been decorated nicely with promises to Tony that it would be back to normal in the morning. There was a huppa on the far end with a certain blue mutant there to officiate, and plenty of seating on either side of the aisle for guests.

When the music started, Lucky and Rook were sent down the aisle first, wearing little doggie tuxes, with one carrying the rings on a pillow on his back. When they finally got up there, they were followed by Lockheed, tossing flowers out of a basket pretty much because he had opposable thumbs and that gave him flower dragon status.

And then Kitty came out, looking happy enough that she'd probably bounce all the way down the aisle if she didn't have Logan on her arm on the way. It was time to get this wedding started.

[If you think you got an invite, you did. Yay wedding!]

Jessica was slightly conflicted about this for a few reasons. Not only was it weird being in yet another New York with superheroes, but these specific doubles would always be a little weird to her.

But she came to the wedding anyway, and it seemed very nice. And weeeeeird.

Kurt turned to Clint. "Do you, Clint, take Kitty to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forth, till death do you part, no really, no rush?"

Lockheed hadn't really paid attention to the other people who helped. There was Kitty. There was, ugh, Clint. And then there was his flowers, but he was the real star. Still, Lockheed gave an appreciative grunt for the hard work of whoever those people were.

Parker grinned back at him. So smart! "When you're done with the flower part, you can come hang out with us if you want. Do you like eyebrow scritches?" Pinkie did, but she was a pony. For all she knew, the purple dragon was allergic to them or something.

Clint snickered, but he couldn't argue with the wording as he slipped the ring on Kitty's finger. This could last for as long as possible, thank you. "I do."

"Then by the power invested me, I now pronounce you husband and wife," Kurt told them. "You may kiss the bride."

Eliot -- was only slightly more familiar with weddings than Parker was. You didn't get invited to a whole lot of them when most of your friendships were based on whether or not you tried to kill each other, recently. But he'd had enough conversations with Kitty while she was planning this one to be very impressed with how it had all come together. He was beginning to understand why the only times Hardison brought up weddings involved stealing them from other people.

He was also entirely prepared to physically stop either of his partners from attempting to steal this one.

Yeah, Clint didn't need to hear that twice. He grinned at Kitty and pulled her into his arms to give her a nice, deep kiss.

That hadn't occurred to Parker. Yet. Maybe when they got to the reception and the food, though.

"So, why are they getting married, exactly? Do you know?"

"They're in love, Parker," Eliot explained, keeping his voice low. "And -- you know, there's probably a bunch of tax benefits or something, too."

"Ohhhh." Right. Non-criminals did that sort of thing, if they were good citizens. "I wonder if Nate and Sophie will get married. Well. I think Sophie would want to. New shoes. Nate, though... Issues."

Steve, decked out in his dress uniform, found a spot towards the back and looked around for a different version of him.

Which was weird. So, so weird.

Lockheed rolled his eyes. Eyebrow scritches were for pets, and he was only a pet to one person. For everyone else, he was a badass dragon.

Fair enough. Parker was glad she'd asked first. "Good luck with all this! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you know, no one dies or anything."

Parker got most of her ideas about weddings from their cons or daytime television. And Fandom weekends.

"Nate and Sophie are engaged," Eliot reminded her. "We were there when it happened. 'Course, Sophiemight get tiredof Nate puttin' it off. . . ."

Kitty kissed him back, not letting it go too long because this was the ultimate in PDA and her mom was right there. When she pulled back, she felt like she could burst from happiness.

"That was for real?" Parker hadn't been sure, especially since there'd been very little follow-up. "I thought that was just a relationship status thing. Like It's Complicated."

"It is, kinda," Eliot said. "The status between 'dating' and 'married'. Some folks just like to stick with 'engaged' for a real long time."

"It's not like the legal part is hard," Parker said uncertainly. She looked around the room, gathering information. "Is this part difficult?" It had never looked that hard when they conned people with wedding stuff, but maybe that was different?

Jack liked weddings, so he was there on time and in a nice suit and tie. He only halfway expected a fight to break out.

"Hey wife," Clint murmured. Because he could! It was real and everything!

"Undoin' it is hard," Eliot said. "The whole idea is the bein' married is supposed to be forever. That scares a lot of people."

Eliot, for instance.

"Oh, that's weird," Kitty giggled. The good kind of weird, though. "Hey, husband."

"Hunh." Miss Live-in-the-Moment (at least in her own life) could... kinda see that? Sort of? She leaned into Eliot and said, "So it's all about Death. And Taxes."

Hardison and Kitty were Chicago buddies, standing up to a world that didn't understand deep dish pizza, rooting for the Cubs, and the atavistic shiver when the wind made that noise. Kitty knew the one. And Clint was always mad cool and his dogs were neat. So there was no question that Hardison would be there, along with his crew, dressed to the nines in a nice suit. The island folks weren't going to shame Kitty and Clint on their big day!

And, don't worry Eliot. Hardison had no plans to steal this wedding. He hadn't even popped the question yet!
