                                                          Hayden POV


                                             Nightmare 


The building was engulfed in flames parts of the building crumbling and falling apart the woman at my feet, slowly backed away from me, 

"Please," She pleads 

The fear in her eyes as I slowly approach her, the building around us falling apart, the flames getting higher and hotter, 

The Glock in my right hand, 

"I won't tell anyone just please let me go," She tries again, 

But I couldn't answer her, I couldn't stop any of it, 

"Terminate her," The voice in the com said 

I raised my pistol and shot the woman, she fell to the ground dead, I remained in the same spot, looking at the dead woman, 

The building burning pillars falling from the fire, the sound of sires echoing in the background, 

"Good job get back to base," The man said in the com


                                       End Nightmare 


I gasped awake, sweat covering my entire body, the machines beeping a mile a minute, my breathing ragged and uneven, 

I run my fingers through my hair, I can't keep doing this, I thought 

I unattached all the wires I'm hooked up to, getting dressed, I took off the wraps around my head, and walked out, 

I know I shouldn't leave, but I need it, I need to erase this memory from my mind or at least take the edge off, 

"Miss Chase I must advise for you to stay in bed," FRIDAY said 

"I won't be long," I said 

"I am requested that if you leave this room I must alert Miss Ramanoff and Mr Barton" FRIDAY said 

"Then alert away," I said leaving 

I ran out of the tower to my old spot, where one of the kids that always sold me whatever I requested was waiting, 

"Long time no see Hayden," He said 

"Yeah, been a bit distracted, you think you get score me so weed and a bottle of bourbon?" I asked 

"Have you met me," He said 

I smirked 

"Give me twenty minutes and I'll be back," He said 

I nodded, 

I waited I was leaning against the brick wall in the alley, when I heard footsteps, he returned with the requested items, 

I handed him the money,

"So what are you trying to forget?" He asked as he handed me the bottle 

"My demons," I said 

He nodded 

I took the weed and the bottle and headed to the bridge, first I smoked inhaling slowly and exhaling slowly, I know I'm going to be in a world of trouble for this, but right now I'm not worrying about my consequences  right now I'm just trying to forget, 

After I finished the joint, I unscrewed the lid to the bourbon and started drinking like it was water,

"Oh boy.." I mumbled 


                                                   Clint POV 


"What do you mean Gone!?" I yelled 

"Sorry Mr Barton I tried to stop her," The AI said 

Me and the avengers were in the main room, 

"Where would she go? why would she leave?" I asked 

"Clint calm down, I'm sure theres an explanation for it," Steve said 

"What kind of explanation would be for getting up in the middle of the night and leave after you were brutally attacked and controlled by your parents and HYDRA!" I said 

"He's got you there Cap," Tony said 

I started to walk out, 

"Where are you going?" Sam asked 

"To find her," I said 

"How?" Tony said 

"The traditional way, look," I said 

"Were coming too," Bucky said 


                                        Hayden POV 


Oh man I'm such a light weight I thought, standing up and stumbling as I finished the rest of the bottle, smashing it to the ground, 

Well it worked I certainly feel numb, I thought 

My vision blurry and unfocused, as i stumbled through the streets that's when I heard my name being called 

I looked in the direction of the voice, 

all I could see were shadows, I blinked slowly, I couldn't make out who it was, 


                                     Bucky POV 


Me and Steve were searching the streets while Clint and Nat searched from the roof tops, and that's when I spotted the familiar figure walking away from us, 

"Steve," I said nodding towards her, she was stumbling 

we look at each other, 

"Hayden," I said 

She spun around blinking a few times, I was now right in front of her, she went to walk but stumbled 

"Whoa easy kid," I said catching her, I could smell the alcohol on her, I lifted her up in my arms, bridal style, 

Steve touched his com telling Clint to meet us at the tower that we found her, 

once we walked in the tower with her in my arms, Clint and Nat rushed towards us, 

"Is she alright?" Nat asked 

I nodded 

"Yeah, just very drunk," I said 

Clint's eyes widen then he regains his composure, 

I hand her off to Clint and he walks out with a scowl on his face, all I did know the kid is definitely in trouble when she wakes up, 

Not just from Clint but from all of us because as I looked around the room the faces I picked up on are a mixture of concern and a bit of anger, including myself
