Alone

Bed Riden

Clint walks in I ignore him.
'You know you don't have to sit here and do nothing right, you could catch up on school work,' he said kindly. I just want to leave.

'I've already finished all my schoolwork for the year,' I said glaring at him.

'Besides I don't have any of my stuff,' I said.

'Why didn't you get it before leaving home?' He asked, yeah I'm going to leave the stuff I used to hack HYDRA in the house with an evil guy who works for HYDRA.

'Cause I didn't,' I replied particularly meanly.

'I could go to your house and get it if you tell me where you left it,' he said Ugh he's trying to get me to be not angry.

'My Father would never let you in any rooms except the main one,' I said in a harsh angry tone.

'Why not?' He questioned think fast Harvey.

'Something about keeping our home life to ourselves, I'm pretty sure it's because he can't be bothered to clean anything,' I said in a harsh voice refusing to let my guard down. That's not true, he makes me clean all the rooms besides his lab which he cleans anyway because he's so very proud of that place.

'Alright well it's almost midnight so you should probably go to sleep,' I internally roll my eyes.

'I will if you turn that thing of its creeping me out,' I said, I want to sneak out and get my stuff, of course I have my emergency backpack which has my comfort toy in, don't judge me when you get as many nightmares as I do you'd understand. I also have $200 and a change of clothes.

'Alright but I'm not leaving until your asleep then,' he said going and turning the camera off. I spent half an hour pretending to sleep trying to get Clint to leave I wasn't actually going to sleep I didn't want a nightmare about that thing. For some reason though he didn't.

'You know I'm an assassin right Harvey, I know your not asleep now sit up, tell me why you won't sleep,' Clint said as I slowly sat up.

'Maybe it's because I'm in a guest bedroom in a place I don't want to be in,' I said angrily i didn't wait for a response.

'Also, can you pass me my bag,' this was the first thing I said not in my harsh angry voice. Clint looked shocked and slightly taken aback handing me my bag as I had asked. I got out my small lion and put the bag down. I didn't give Clint eye contact after that. Although I did turn off my hostile stare. I felt weird I had never let my guard down like this in front of anyone. I knew that Clint wasn't going to leave until I was asleep. Knowing that I would have a nightmare about my fathers friends I physically wouldn't be able to sleep without Leo. (Yes I named the lion Leo.) it was my mother's I stole it from a box of her stuff when she first died and the first time my Father came home.

She had never been nice either in my few memories of her, but she hadn't stopped me from eating. Or meddled with my body to give me teleportation powers. Refraining from doing anything else to embarrass myself in front of Clint I hugged the lion and laying down slowly ended up sleeping.

Clint's POV

She's hiding a lot. I doubt her relationship with her father is great as she clearly does not trust anyone. But watching her fall asleep hugging the small stuffed lion the anger gone she seems like a kid forced to hide everything. I will not stop until I find out what that kid is hiding.

Harvey's POV

I wake up tossing and turning from a nightmare my breathing fast and heavy.

'Miss Lard, you seem to be in distress would you like me to tell someone?' I heard a voice.

'N-no, who's there?' I stumbled calming my breathing.

'I am Friday ,' it replied.

'Well Friday , can you tell me where a training room could be thanks?' I asked knowing there was one somewhere in this place and wanting to let off some steam.

'Also what's the time?' I said hoping the AI hadn't been told I wasn't supposed to be out of bed. I was angry and I desperately needed to let off some steam or I would end up taking my anger off on somebody.

Friday told me it was 3:30am, before directing me the way to the training room. I was very thankful the AI didn't say anything about me being awake. I sat down on the floor for a minute hating the world before standing up and walking to a punching bag. I couldn't be bothered to wrap my wrists and just started punching it none stop.

'Harvey, your not supposed to be out of bed,' I heard someone say I ignored them and kept punching. I could feel my hands start to bleed and then someone intercept my punch.

'I said Stop,' I looked to see Bucky.

'Come on we're going to clean up your knuckles and no more walking,' he said scooping me over his shoulder. He carried me back to my bedroom and started cleaning my knuckles. After that incident the next two days there was someone with me at all times.

I refused to talk to anyone at all. I was stubborn no one could make me talk. Fury came to visit me. Only to get what he wanted.

'I want you to join the Avengers,' he said.

That was the only thing that made me talk,
'Hmm let me think, no.' I replied death staring the annoying pirate.

'I wasn't asking,' he stated clearly not used to this.

'Well if you actually read my school record you would know that I don't take orders from anyone especially not adults, so I don't know what you think you are doing but this isn't going to work,' I stated knowing my death stare was working cause the Avengers were looking at me with a glint of fear.

'Look kid, I will get you to join,' he told me.

'Look if Fury does not leave in the next five minutes, I am.  For the record I know for a fact, I can leave, you can't even legally keep me here,' I said glaring at the man.

'Oh, and I'd rather eat shit than join a team, with people who kidnap me, then force me to, 'take care of my injuries,' I said looking around the room before slumping back onto the bed.

'Besides, you got Stark to meddle in my life, you have no idea what you did,' I said looking around as they then started asking me questions as I ignored them sitting there emotionless. I'll be honest I may have punched the Avengers a few times out of anger. Not to mention the wall and the pillows. I just want to leave at this point. Plus every time I 'lash out' Clint or Bucky comes to 'talk' to me. I'm being driven mental, plus I'm pretty sure I am actually concerning them by how well I keep my guard up.

I ended up having to fake sleep when I wasn't being watched by the two assassins until I was finally allowed to get up and have my leg checked out.

'Good news Harvey, your leg is completely healed and thanks to you not using it the last three days won't leave you with a limp,' Bruce said.

'Great, I am going home,' I said still angry and exhausted. I walked out not waiting for anyone to say anything before knowing I needed to go home.

'See you on Monday,' I heard Stark say.
'Learn how to take a hint, would you,' I replied walking out. Ugh these stupid people, they need to stay the fuck out of my life.
