lost (Hawkeye)

Chapter 32

Percy:

I was restless, after looking through the pictures, I had  to do soemething. Since the Avengers already thought that something wasn't right with me and I was doing to much training I couldn't go to the gym. I was not tired and needed some fresh air, what could be better than a short walk through Central Park?

I put on a jacket and walked out of my room.
"Jarvis, I'm going to Central Park." "Ma'am, you can't go alone, who shall I wake?" I sighed. "Jarvis, what do you think if I come back in an hour? If I'm not there yet, you can wake everyone up." For a short time, the AI was silent. "That's a good idea. Take care, there's a lot of danger out there." I just nodded and rushed out before Jarvis could change his mind again. In Central Park, I ran straight to a tree, leaned against it and sat down.
I didn't notice anyone watching me.
Only when someone sat down next to me did I startled from my thoughts. "Hey, what are you doing out here by yourself? I thought you had to stay in the Tower."  Looking up, I saw Clint sitting next to me. "I couldn't sleep, so I made a deal with Jarvis to take a walk for an hour. What are you doing here?"
"Ha, I knew it. Jarvis certainly does have a soft spot for you. Concerninng me, I'm jogging. " When he saw my irritated look, he kept talking. "Early in the morning you are always alone and there are no gaffers." I nodded slightly, that's how I would do it.
I yawned and lay in the grass, placing my head on Clint's left leg. "You seem pretty tired. "I noticed Clint. "No, I'm wide awake." Even through the darkness, I could see a slight smile on his face.
"After my first assignments, I couldn't close my eyes either. The best thing is if you just go home and try to sleep and listen to music or something. "

"I have tried everything, but nothing has helped against nightmares. . .I even tried various types of cheese." Clint raised an eyebrow. "Cheese, never heard of that helping people go to sleep." "Well, you never stop learning, right?" I  moved around in  his lab, trying to find a more comfortable position. Something about his presens put me at ease and I could feel my muscles starting to relax.
"Percy. . . we're going to get up and go to your house." Something in his voice had changed. Immediately I sat up.
"Wow, not even a date and you want to go home with me?" I was kidding. He laughed. It wasn't a real laugh, it was a play. "Don't look there now, but in the parking lot about 100 meters further, there's a car, it's been there all the time and the people in it are looking at us. You're being followed."
Immediately I turned pale. Followed, me? Why? Couldn't I even have a relaxed life?
To avoid being noticed, I put on a smile again. I was sure it did not look pretty convincing.
We got up and went back to the tower. We arrived without any problems, but I noticed how the Jeeps followed us all the time. How long has he been there?
Clint wanted to go to the elevator, but I pulled him up the stairs. "How could you see them? They've been pretty far away?" I asked him. 

"I'm not called Hawkeye for nothing. "Ah, Miss Jackson, you're back and you've brought visitors."
Jarvis calm voice was a huge contrst to the nervous voices in my had. "Clint, why don't we go out and fight them? You're one of the best agents, and I can fight, too. "
"We don't know anything about our opponents, it's too dangerous. And what does one of the best mean here? I'm THE best next to Nathasha." I rolled my eyes, not at all in love self-centered, he probably got that from Apollo. When we got upstairs, I went straight into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" Asked Clint and followed me. "I always get hungry during the night. " I said and took an apple. With the apple in my hand, I went into the living room where I met Tony. He ate something, too. Seriously, did anybody have a normal sleep rhythm?!"Jarvis said you'd been outside. . . Who's with you?" He asked me in a stern tone. Oops. "Uhm Clint, I met him outside. " His eyes widened. Did he think. . . ? By the gods, no.
"It's not what you think. "
Tony got up and walked up to me. "What's it like then?"
I thought of an answer when Clint started talking.
"Percy is being watched. I was out jogging when I met her. I noticed a car that's been standing in front of the tower all the time. "
"We need to notify S. H. I. E. L. D. " Said Tony worried. "I already have, I sent them the license plate, they will send me all the information I need. "
"Well, once that's settled, I'll go to sleep. " I threw the core in the garbage and left the living room.
In my room I changed and went to bed. I probably couldn't sleep, but it was worth a try.
