Racing back towards the lab I prepare myself for the storm I was about to walk into when I'm stopped by a familiar voice,
"You always manage to crack them". I turn behind me to see Nat, she makes her way to me as we continue to walk.
"You hiding?" I question as i lightly shove her with my elbow
"Not hiding avoiding, some team Fury's created" I laugh at her words
"Ya know it's weird, I mean I was brought up being taught everything about Roger's. They had articles, reports, everything about him we studied and now, well just a few minutes ago I was standing in the room with him" I reply staring straight ahead as we continue to walk.
"You don't have to tell anyone anything Y/N, you know that"
"Yeah, he'll ask though, he wanted to"
"I'm glad Fury brought you, I mean I don't know how long I would have lasted with them" she changed the subject knowing that it's something I hate talking about
"It's Clint, we both would have lasted however long" I say turning to her, Nat was like a sister to me, I know pretty big family, but she too had a rocky past. She was the first person I told about it, she understood as much as she could. From there she helped me find the ropes in SHIELD, without her I don't know where I'd be.
"Yeah, he owes us now. Have you spoken to your brothers since you've been back" she questions as I let out a small laugh and she smiles
"Does it look like I've even had time?" I reply back letting out a small laugh
"What's with the gloves? New look or something?" she questions looking down at my hands
"Ok catch up done our helped is needed in the lab" I say firmly. Nat and I weren't good with emotions, we avoided them actually. We'd have a small 3 minute chat every now and a again to cope, it was long enough brake and what we both needed. She looked at me giving me a firm nod, she thought the exact same thing as I did. Banner.
As we make our way towards the door of the lab Nat rushes in, I stand in the door frame as all eyes land on me, all giving me an impressed look expect Rogers who just stares at the ground.
"Thank you" Thor gives me a gentle nod which I kindly return, I know how important it was for him to see the Loki that he once knew. I know what it's like to be stuck defending your sibling for the horrible things they've done when you know them as the person they truly are.
"Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr Banner to his-" Nicky begins
"Where? You rented my room." Banner cuts him off pointing towards the monitor showing the cell. I can feel Banner begging to get worked up and prepare myself.
"The cell was just in case-" Nick responds but is cut of again
"In case you needed to kill me" Bruce continues but I stop listening when a feel a mind near, a familiar mind along with multiple others. Clint. Shit
"Ok guys hate to ruin this moment but-" I cut in but go silent when I see Banner holding the sceptre. "Bruce, put the sceptre down please" I say calmly as I prepare a soundwave in case things get out of hand. A small sound comes from the computers drawing everyone's attention but mine as I watch Bruce put down the sceptre. "Ok now that that is over-"
"Not now" Rogers firmly interrupts holding his hand up at me like his a crossing guard
"Hey don't talk to her like that, do you know what you did to her, what you caused to happen to her?" Tony steps in, I shoot a small sound wave to his head just enough to make him shut up as I also send him a glare.
"You located the tesseract" Thor continues to follow Bruce. I roll my eyes as I feel Clint's mind getting closer.
"yeah everyone needs to shut up for a second" I shout but no one listen, Tony and Steve start fighting and everyone else looks at Bruce. I look into Clint's mind and see that he's shot an arrow onto the ship to blow the side up, I take the time having him close to send him a brain message.
"Clint it's Y/N, I get you aren't yourself right now but I need you to not press that button. Please Clint"
"ALRIGHT THATS ENOUGH!" I yell fully pissed using my sound power to heighten the sound of my voice, they all go silent immediately and look at me kinda shocked and frightened "Clint's about to-" "BANG" suddenly the floor beneath us explodes sending us all flying in different directions. I shoot up colliding with the ceiling before hitting what was left of the ground, I groan and roll over as my ears ring "seriously Clint I get you aren't yourself but that freakin hurt" I see Tony and Steve run out together. I stand up and look at Nick who's talking to Maria, he quickly looks me up and down checking for injuries.
"Let me guess you knew that was gonna happen" Nick says puffing
"Yeah and did anyone listen to me? No" I reply pissed "I'll get Clint, he's not just here to rescue Loki" Nick nods throwing me an earpiece before we both quickly part ways. Loki was the distraction and Clint was the rescuer plus he had other plans in mind. "Freakin idiots absolute idiots" I mutter as I run towards out of the lab. I reach Clint's mind and see him on the landing pad.
I continue to look into his mind following their movements, I check into Starks and see him suiting up, then I check Nat's, shit. "Nat you good?" I ask into the earpiece fully knowing she was stuck and we were about to have a Hulk on board.
"I'm fine, go get him Y/N" she replies knowing that Clint is a priority. I continue running checking in to see where he is. I freeze, "no, no, no Banner! not here, not now" I mutter to myself as I reach his mind and meet a very angry hulk. I continue making my way to Clint, I grab the knife strapped to my side as I take one last look into his head, shit.
"Nick watch ya left, explosive bow coming your way" I whisper into the earpiece as I the sound of an explosion echoes through the rooms.
"Yeah Y/N he's headed to the detention level, who's got Loki?" Nick responds, as I change my direction I look into Thor's mind
"Yeah Thor's with Loki, needs back up I got Barton under control" I reply into the earpiece as I run faster after Clint. I follow behind him watching his thoughts, he quickly turns pointing the bow at me but I push it away as he shoots the arrow, I send a small soundwave to his head causing him to fall back. I jump under the platform coming up behind him and kicking him in the back, he stumble back again but gains his balance quick and aims another arrow at me.
I jump across to the other platform as he follows, swinging his bow at me. He wraps the string around my wrist forcing them into my face before pushing me against the railing. "I knew you held back on me during training" I whisper untangling my wrists as I punch him across the face, the pain in my right hand from the knife makes me let out a small gasp. "shit" I whisper
I hold Clint's bow and watch him pull out a knife, clearly he isn't himself cause he knows they don't really work against me. I force the knife into my hand as I kick him in his groin, I grab his arm forcing it back as he lets out a small groan.
"I don't know whether I should be honoured that I was your target or offended" I say putting more pressure on his arm but somehow he kicks his leg up hitting my thigh pushing me off him as I stumble back, quickly he punches me across the face re-busting my lip and grabs another knife from his side and throws it at me. Luckily this time I catch the knife but in my right hand, stupid reflexes, the knife cuts the glove showing the bandage but I ignore it throwing the knife to the ground. Fed up with the fighting I give in and send a painful soundwave piercing in to Clint mind making him fall to the ground as he grasps him head and groans loudly in pain. I hold it listening to his screams as he fall unconscious, that was the first time I'd used it that hard on someone in a while.
I look down at him, a few bruises begging to come up from where I'd hit him. I bent down to him and pulled all the knives out of his belt not knowing if he was going to wake up as Clint or Loki's puppet. I look down as my right hand and see the bloody stained bandage poke out as the wound split, "damnit" i whisper as I reach up to my earpiece "Barton's sorted".
As I stare down as Clint body waiting for the other SHIELD Agents to arrive I search the minds near and find Loki's, I freeze seeing that his on a ship. "You didn't say goodbye" I send to him making him laugh a little as he grinned
"Like I said this isn't goodbye. Y/N" he replied back as I shook my head pissed off.
