Arya pov

As i walk out of the room with my arm around Peter's shoulders. This, him being here is making things more complicated. I may be ruthless and emotionless but he's innocent and a kid, there's no need for him to be here. I may have to change up my plan a bit. But we're not met by everyone in the foyer or the living room, only Clint. As he looks at me i'm glad Nat took that cuff off my leg, since he's looking at me like i'm a criminal. Which i am, but that's beside the point.

"Tony thought it might be a good idea for you to take some more time to rest, Yelena will come up to talk later" he says and i can see that he doesn't quite believe in my lie.

"Sounds good, i'll see you at dinner Peter" i say to Peter and he gives me another hug before running off. Clint gestures for me to start walking so i do. But it isn't until we've come all the way up the stairs that he takes to word.

"Who are you really?" i can't help but laugh at his question.

"Well i think you know the old me but just not the new me"

"And who is the new you?"

"The one that's been tortured for over a hundred years and is traied to kil with the name Arya, the exact opposite of the all peacefull and rightus y/n Carter" i say and he stops me by grabbing my arm. I met his gaze that says too much about what he's thinking.

"So, Arya? Why are you here pretending to be someone you're not?" it's like he really thinks that if i didn't have an undercover plan here that i would tell him the truth.

"Complete my mission, silly. What else?" i say with a laugh as we continue to walk down the hall, he comes up to stand in front of me. Standing between me and my bedroom door.

"And what is that mission?" as i keep his gaze plastered to mine i take up the small leather pouch from my pocket, taking some powder in my hand.

"That's for me to know, and for you to, dot, dot, dot" and with that i blow some of the powder into his face. For a second he's all frozen up before his body relaxes. I put my hand on his arm with a worried look plastered on as i ask. "Are you okay Clint? You look like you've seen a ghost"

"For a second there i thought i was, is it really you?" he asks with love in his eyes. It's almost disturbing how much they care for her.

"It's me, i'm home" he takes me in his arms to hug me and i let him. With my little knowledge of her there is that one thing i can't seem to figure out, what's so special about her that makes them see through it all. I take him out of it to meet his gaze once again before i smile.

"I'm tired, i'll see you at dinner" i say, getting past him to get into her... my room. If i'm gonna act the part i may as well play the part.

"Yelena will come up later, just so you know. Tony thinks she might help you remember something since she knows this you" Clint says and i just give him another thanking smile before closing the door. They care so much for her that i can't breathe anymore, i have to do this faster or i'm gonna suffocate. I walk to the button by the bed to open the wall again. There must be something in these diaries that will help me, something so specific that they think i'm remembering, so they can let their guard down. The powder is only a precaution to get them to accept my lie faster, the rest is up to me to uphold. But i must change my plan, i can't let Peter get hurt in all of this. I don't know where my care for the kid originated but he's just an innocent kid, nothing wrong but being in the wrong place. I have to get him out of here, and i think i've the perfect idea. School starts are just around the corner. Well, according to him he's starting the 20th, on monday. That gives me two days to endure here, to hone the plan to be perfect.

The computer pings again to bring my attention back from staring into the secret room in the wall. I walk up to it to look at what it was.

You know you don't have to go through with this, is it really worth it?

And here we go again, this is why i hate him. The brother that is always trying to get me caught.

Me
He was given the chance, he chose this for himself. I'm just the messenger.

Unknown
But did you have to include me in your lie?

Me
You included yourself when you started sending messages to them, you have yourself to blame for that.

Unknown
Don't involve me more and i'll stop texting. Just be carefull.

Me
Aren't i always.

The second after i press send all the messages get erased. I guess i can always count on him if things go wrong, not that it will but it's good to have a plan B. I walk back to the room and start looking at what book to read next. I find the one i'm looking for, 2012, so i take it down before sitting down. The wall closes itself but i keep my eye on the handle on the inside. Something about that year must tell me something that can help me. It's the year of the NY battle against Loki and the chitauri, the death of her parents and becoming a super soldier. It also seems to be the year she met Maria for the first time, as they were both placed in the middle of the whole thing. God, I wish for speed reading right now. I laugh to myself as i open the leather bound book, looking into those specific dates.
