Little Bird (ClintXReader)

Chapter 2

I wake again but this time it's to the morning sun and the smell of food. I stretch my arms from where I'm laying before sitting up.

Clint: Good morning sunshine.

I hear him chuckle.

YN: Good morning Clint. What time is it?

He looks at the clock on the stove before turning back to answer.

Clint: It's 8:07, Breakfast should be ready in a few if you want to get changed.

I gave a gentle nod as I go to the closet and grab a simple, casual outfit out of the duffle bag that laid sprawled on the floor. I just went with leggings and a band T-shirt since I figured I wasn't going out in public. I quickly change in the bathroom before running out and sitting at the kitchen counter just as Clint plates the food.

Clint: Coffee?

YN: Yes, please!

He grabs another mug and quickly pours it. As he hands it to me, he starts talking.

Clint: So today I need to show you a few things around the apartment, then I need to head to work, but don't worry I have someone coming over to hang with you while I'm gone.

YN: Okay...

I wasn't quite comfortable with the idea of someone I didn't know spending the day with me, but deep down I knew it was for my own safety.

After breakfast Clint shows me some his hidden compartments of weapons including what's in the back of his bedroom closet and a hidden room for safety. I am a trained Assassin but even I would have never found that safe room. Just on cue as he finished showing me all of those things there is a knock on the door. Still out of precaution we both drew a weapon. Clint had me hide behind the door frame to his room which was just outside the normal sight from the main door. There was a moment of silence then Clint opened the door.

Clint: You're late.

???: Yeah, yeah, whatever where is she?

It took me a moment, the voice was familiar, but where? I looked a bit out of the door frame and saw her. I put the gun at the back of my belt as I stepped out.

YN: Natasha!

My Russian accent became thick as I said her name; I had a huge smile just from seeing her. She had a medium sized box in her arms. Nat quickly set it down before walking over and giving me a very tight hug.

Nat: Здравствуйте, младшая сестра (Hello, Little Sister)

Clint: On that note, I'm going to go, I have to go update Fury.

Nat waved her hand dismissing him before grabbing my face and cupping it with both hands. Like when we were growing up, I leaned my head forward against her just happy to be near her. Clint leaves closing and locking the door behind him.

YN: What's in the box?

I ask finally pulling away from her.

Nat: Knowing you, you would want to change your appearance so I have many dye options and I'm going to help you with whatever you choose to do.

YN: You're the best you know that?

She nods her head and brings the box over.

YN: Okay, shoulder length brunette. (You currently have very blonde hair that goes to your mid back).

Nat: Let's get to work then!

We turn on some music and get to work coloring and cutting my hair. 4 hours later my hair made me look like a whole new person.

Nat: Hopefully you have some identities that look a bit more like this.

Nat chuckled knowing that all too well that I had an I identity for every country each one with a different look. This look worked for my US identity which is all I need. We spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out and watching movies till Clint got home.

Clint: I brought pizza for dinner, hopefully that's okay with you YN.

YN: That sounds amazing, I haven't had pizza in years!

Clint set the pizza down on the counter and stopped as he saw me.

Clint: Wow...

YN: Does it look bad? Nat, I knew we should have kept the length.

Clint: No, no, it looks amazing.

Nat: Hey Clint, you got a little drool there.

Clint snapped out of and glared at her.

Nat: It was great seeing you, but I need to go meet Fury about the new Avengers Initiative he came up with.

Clint: Yeah, he talked to me about that too.

YN: What is the avengers initiative?

Clint: Fury wants to bring the strongest fighters together to help protect the world, they would be used when there is a big enough threat that even the military couldn't handle.

YN: A team of superheroes, I see...

Nat gave me a pat on the shoulder as she shook her head smiling.

Nat: I gotta go, I'll see you guys later.

We said goodbye and then sat on the couch watching hockey and eating Pizza.
