Ch. 47 "Dealing"

                                                  Hayden POV 

I have been here for about what is it now, Four days, and it's so peaceful makes me not want to go back to the Tower, but I know I have to, 

The nightmare are getting better than what they were but they are still there, Clint, he's been keeping me in check along with Laura, 

Like Hayden do this, Hayden you know better than that, Here Hayden let me help you, Hayden talk to me, 

It's a very weird and odd feeling, 

Growing I never had any of that, when I so much as looked at my parents the wrong way, I got the snot beat out of me, 

I so much as made a small sound I got punished, I grew up walking on eggshells, I never knew the feeling of being cared for, 

Being worried about, wounding if I'm taking care of myself properly, concerned when I sneak out, 

I've never... had that, 

I was sitting on the fence watching the sun set, 

We were leaving tonight, when I leave are things going to change, are the nightmares going to get worse, am I going to feel numb again, I thought 

I don't want this feeling to go away that's the part that scares me the most, I thought 

I mean I've even grown close to Cooper and Lila, even little Nathaniel, 

I've never known what it's like to have a normal life, I've never had that, and I know I never will but when I'm here I do, why do I feel this odd pull, 

I just shake my head jumping down from the fence, I leaned against the fence crossing my arm, 

And don't get me started on how Peter, Peter Parker has been texting me none stop, don't know what has gotten into him, 

Maybe the fact that I kicked the living snot out of his bully, but it's becoming tired some, but on the other hand have a decent conversation with the guy is different, 

I mean a few months ago he wouldn't even looking in my direction fearing I would just glare a hole in his forehead, I thought 

                                        Clint POV 

I'm on the front porch on the Phone with Nat, 

"How are things?" She asked 

"You asking about Hayden or just my home life?" I asked 

"You know the answer to that question," She said 

"Well after a few days me and Laura finally got her to open up," I said 

"Really?" She said 

I chuckled 

"Why do you sound surprised?" I asked 

"Because it is surprising," She said 

"But how is she?" Nat asked 

"She's dealing, but doing better," I said as I watched Hayden lean against the far fence 

"Dealing enough to never ask to get Cryogenically frozen?" She said 

"Definitely," I said 

"Well that's good there's still hope for the kid yet," She said 

"I agree," I said 

"Look I've got to go, but I'll see you guys tomorrow," I said 

"Alright careful out there Barton," She said 

"Same to you Nat," I said chuckling
