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!]

Before and during the ceremony!

For the bride and groom!

Thank you to the Originals for giving me icons for really every occasion.

Reception post to follow. YAY WEDDING.

If asked, Tamsin would insist she only came to see if a fight broke out.

Or for the free food.

Or something.

Yes, she had traded in her usual jeans, t-shirts and jackets look for a nice blue dress, and yes, she did arrive perfectly on time, but-- stuff. Reasons. Whatever, shut up, today might not be so bad.

Clint wasn't normally a nervous guy, but the whole thing about standing up front and waiting for Kitty was making him squirm. He tried to focus on neutral things - how uncomfortable his suit was, how hilarious it was that he got Barney into a suit too, how he really should have stopped drinking after their third bar stop - but when Kitty came in, all he could focus on was her. They were really doing this, he realized, and he was really going to be a mess.

He smiled at Logan - always a wise idea as far as he was concerned - but the real grin went to Kitty. "You look amazing," he said quietly.

"You do too," she murmured, blushing a little and figuring that she was going to be completely unable to get this smile off her face today.

Kurt let them be cute, and then spoke to address the audience. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness these two people in matrimony. It is not to be entered into lightly or frivolously, but reverently, advisedly, but still with a good sense of humor about it. Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. Through marriage, Clint and Kitty make a commitment together to face their disappointments, embrace their dreams, realize their hopes, and accept each other’s failures. Clint and Kitty will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together, through mutual understanding, openness, and sensitivity to each other.

"I understand they have things to say to each other," Kurt went on, looking to Clint to start.

Right, Clint could totally go first. He'd been thinking about his speech for a while now, so it wasn't like he didn't know what he wanted to say. But somehow, looking at Kitty now, it was hard to keep from getting choked up.

"When I first met you, I was in pretty much the worst place I've ever been. I thought things were bad when I first got to town, and then, well, you remember they got even worse." Stupid Umbridge, stupid mind control. "But there you were, just constantly making me feel good and making me want to be a good person, the type of person you insisted I am. I don't remember when I first realized I was in love with you, but I know the feeling hasn't stopped, and I want to keep being that good person for you. I want to take care of you, and be there for you no matter what happens. I love you, and I plan on showing you that for as long as you'll let me."

He smiled and stopped there because really, if he said anything else he would really turn into a mess, and no one needed to see that.

For a change, Allie was not in her usual all black ensemble. Instead she was in a dress and heels. Now if only she could get through the wedding without breaking an ankle.

In the back of the church was a bearded man with more hair than Phil Coulson had seen on his head in a long time. He was wearing a light colored suit and seemed completely nondescript.

Phil Coulson was dead. Whoever this was, he was NOT Phil Coulson.

As Logan adjusted his bolo tie, he gave some thought to how nice it was that if Kitty had to marry any Barton, it was a Barton who hadn't stolen his mask design.

Or become a crappy ninja.

You know who the best flower dragon ever was? LOCKHEED. And he knew it. Don't give him a nasty look or he would throw flowers in your damn face and be beloved for it.

Awwww, now Kitty was tearing up.

"You were the first person in a long time I felt like I could really be myself with. I never had to worry that you'd judge, or that you wouldn't understand me. I met you and all of a sudden everything made sense. Things were right, and they've stayed right, even when things in our lives would get really, really bad. You've been there for those times as much as you have for the good, and I want so many good times with you. I love you like crazy, and you're the best partner in everything I ever could have hoped for, and my life's so much better now that you're in it for good."

What she said was different than what she'd planned, but she liked it better this way.

Scott wasn't particularly thrilled with weddings, what with how his marriages tended to go. Still, he was hopeful for Kitty and this version of Clint Barton.

He was also watching for any supervillains who might try to disrupt the ceremony because come on.

This was weird.

This was really weird.

Parker pretty much looked at weddings as Wedding Episodes in Real Life. So, you know. She was ready for someone to bust in with sub-machine guns.

"DRAGON."

SHINY! DRAGON. PRETTY! DRAGON. HI DRAGON HI!

Kurt was internally 'aww'ing at both of them, but he was a professional.

"Do you have the rings- Oh, they're still on the dog," Kurt noticed.

Clint laughed and gave Lucky a quick pet. "Good boy, just hold still," he said, picking up the rings and giving his ring to Kitty. "He's more loyal than a human ring bearer," he said with a grin to Kurt.

Yeah, Lockheed was awesome and beautiful. Tell him something he didn't know.

He preened a little. With his flowers.

"So cuuuuuute!" Did he know that? Did he? "And smart, look at you! With your flowers! ... Are we expecting more dragons?" Ooo!

Lockheed shook his head no. He came to the wedding stag.

"Awwwww." He was definitely part of the wedding party, so he probably didn't want to go home with Parker and Eliot and Hardison and hang out and steal things. It was still massively cool to meet him! "I'm Parker. Eliot and Hardison helped with stuff." Parker had not, because her suggestions had all been rejected.

"Cuter, too," Kurt agreed, waiting for them to get settled before continuing. "Do you, Kitty, take Clint to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forth, till death do you part and don't be in a rush there?"

They were superheroes, he felt he had to be clear about that last part.

Kitty took Clint's hand to slip the ring onto his finger, looking right at him as she said, "I do."
