However, his expression changed when he noticed how stiff Kate had gotten

Clint: Everything alright, Katie?

Clint was at this point more of a father figure than anything, so there was no point in lying

She hid her phone in her pocket and let out a heavy sigh

Kate: I think Y/N did it again

"Clint: He ghosted everyone to spend Christmas by himself?

The teenager nodded and earned a sigh from the Avenger, who pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance

Clint: Welp, you chose him

Kate crossed her arms as she looked at him

Kate: Yes, yes I did and I'm going to find out why is that. There's no way I'm leaving him on his own and--

She stopped mid-sentence when she realized her current situation. Katie was just outside the house of Clint Barton, her mentor

The same man who had just invited her to eat something. A compromise that she had agreed to and that was immediately thrown in doubt when she learned of her boyfriend's schemes

But she wasn't the only one to realize this, as her mentor looked at her with a knowing smile

Clint: You go ahead, go knock some sense into him. I'm going to save you some pumpkin pie

Kate lowered her glasses to look at him directly

Kate: Are you sure? I-I mean...are you sure?

The man chuckled

Clint: Just make sure he's still alive before you scold him

She sighed, looking at the snow for a moment and then back at Clint, with a softer expression on her face

Kate: Thank you, really

And so, Kate ran back towards her car, with a new destination in mind. As she adjusted the rearview mirror, only one thing came to her mind:

"Y/N L/N, you and I need to talk"

You walked through the festive streets of New York, recently concluding your business at the cemetery, being greeted once again with the festive atmosphere all around

The lights, the Christmas music blasting in the distance, the loving couples taking pictures and being goofy and shuddering in the presence of the cold air and snow

...it was hell

These people were so oblivious, they were so happy on their own, so annoying to see them all just smile like idiots

Did they forget an alien invasion took place just a week ago?

An invasion like...like...oh no

You could feel your steps becoming heavier as the memories crept their way in

You remembered the smoke

The people running in fear

And the blood

"Y/N...run..."

Your heart sank at the memory of that voice. You suddenly stopped walking, accidentally causing someone to bump into you

They cursed at you for doing so, but you didn't listen to what they said. No, you were lost to the scene, still so fresh on your mind

But you had planned for this, and instinctively, you reached for your watch
