Alone

Clint's Chapter

I woke up this morning in some what of a daze, since every time I close my eyes, I relive so sort of tormented past.

The beatings, the pain, the confinement, I can't seem to escape.

I walked through the halls about to leave the tower completely forgetting I said I was going to behave, when Someone grabbed my wrist. I spun around about to punch whoever dared to touch me.

"Nice swing but sloppy even for you," Nat said. 

I just rolled my eyes,

I went to leave but Nat had a grip on my wrist

"Let go," I said trying to keep calm but still with my harsh glare.

"I don't think so you've got explaining to do, let's go," She said.

I didn't move

"Now Harvey ," She demanded.

I sighed following her,

We arrive in what looks like a conference room. I don't actually remember doing anything wrong.

"Stay here," She said leaving not waiting for an answer.

I sighed again sitting in one of the chairs, I put my feet on the table as I crossed my ankles, Then the door opened revealing Clint and Bucky.

"Hey feet off the table," Bucky said sternly.

I did as I was told,

He Sat next to me,

"Harvey Talk to me what is going on?" Bucky said sweetly.

I crossed my arms and slouched,

"I don't know what you mean?" I said.

"The alcohol," Nat said

I just rolled my eyes,

"Of course you two found out," I mumbled part of the night before coming back to me.

"It wasn't hard the stumbling and empty bottle you were holding kind of gave it away," Clint said.

"Yeah, well I'm a bit more sober than I was yesterday," I mumbled

"You mean you do this often?" Nat asked

I stood up not answering them going to leave.

"Look when I feel a little overwhelmed by my emotions I drink a little, mind I prefer the drugs. Just to take the edge off okay," I said

"Was talking to your father what overwhelmed you?" Clint asked sympathetically.

"How did.." I mumbled

"Finally watched the security footage," I said.

"More like Fury found it," Nat replied.

"Right," I mumbled.

"Harvey talk to us, this isn't the first time and frankly were worried" Clint said half way between sympathetic and sternly.

"We meant to talk last time but you bolted. You almost died last time we thought you had probably learnt your lesson." Clint said in a sympathetic tone.

"Look, I have tried all different kinds of coping strategies this and drugs are the only ones that work alright," I said about to walk out Annoyed.

Nat stopped me blocking the only exit.

"Maybe you need a different one," She said crossing her arms.

"Like what?" I said rolling my eyes.

"Training," She said making me roll my eyes again immediately.

"Is that your answer for everything?" I asked sarcastically.

"You channel it all into one thing you would be surprised at what you can accomplish," Nat said.

"Besides you won't be training with me," She said looking too smug for my liking.

"Who am I training with then?" I asked confused not liking where this is going.

"That would be me," Bucky said finally chiming in.

"Are you three crazy?" I asked in a high pitched sort of nervous tone.

Clint chuckled smiling. 

"If anyone can show you how to channel your anger it would be him," Clint said.

I scowled,

"Don't make that face," Nat said scoldingly.

"What afraid?" Bucky said clearly enjoying this.

"No, one I'm not doing this, 'B' your a lot bigger than me, and two, I would prefer not to" I said.

"Too bad besides we seen you take out someone twice his size," Clint said

"Yeah, well that guy wasn't a super soldier," I said crossing my arms.

I scrunched my face in frustration,

Bucky put his hand on my shoulder.

"Look this will be good for you,I know your scared just give it a chance," Bucky said

I hesitated,

"Scared? who said I was scared?" I said glaring intensely.

"You didn't have to your body language says it all," Nat said.

"Please," Bucky said.

I sighed and nodded

"Come on Harvey," Bucky said and with that I followed him clearly feeling defeated.

Clint POV

I watched as Harvey Followed Bucky to the training room, her arms crossed, after the past weeks I noticed she crosses her arms when she feels uncomfortable,

"You know that kid is stubborn," Nat said

"You know I was thinking once she gets this under control I was thinking of taking her home to meet Laura," I said

Nat looked at me shocked

"I already discussed it with her, and she thinks it would be good for Harvey since she's never really had a life," I said.

Nat smirked.

"You care about the kid huh," She said

I nodded,

"Not as much as Bucky I reckon but, I just... I don't know I see a girl who desperately tried to keep the truth from the world, but also took out that frustration on the criminals of the world, someone who desperately wanted to call out for help but was much too afraid." I said

"She's safe now Clint," Nat said patting my shoulder,

"I know that but I just want her to have the life she deserves, not the one her parents dealt her," I said.
