The russian one

Chapter 41 : Is this the end ?

Time skip 2 weeks.

Nat's POV

We didn't find anything about Clint's aggressor, nothing at all. We don't know who could have done this, or what kind of weapon was used. We haven't found the weapon that was used to stab Clint and after analyzing his wound, we couldn't find a match with any existing weapons. We couldn't ask him because he is still in a coma. At least he's out of danger. Dr. Cho said he was lucky because she would have arrived two minutes later and it would have been impossible for her to save him. We are lucky that she was already on her way then. I wonder why that is, but I guess it has something to do with the fact that she has spent a lot of time with Bruce in the last two weeks. We rarely saw them, even less than Tony who works a lot in his lab. So I spent my two weeks either in Clint's room or Y/n's room. She is still very unresponsive but she maintains eye contact and responds from time to time. We actually put her in her room that she had before, she eats with us and Tony even brought her to his lab once. She always shows no interest in anything we show her but she doesn't say anything and does what we tell her. At least she lives with us and that's what matters. One thing at a time.

I am currently heading to Clint's room to see how he is doing. I wish he would wake up. He looks so fragile like this on his bed. He is so pale, you can see how fatal his injury could have been. Whoever did this to him knew what they were doing and planned for him to die slowly. 

Why? 

I don't know.

When I got to the front of Clint's room I nodded to the two agents there and they opened the door and greeted me. I walked in and froze. As he smiled weakly at me, I refrained from throwing myself into his arms. Instead I walked slowly over to his bed and sat on the side of his bed.

"You don't know how relieved I am to see you, how are you?" he said, taking my hand.

"Me too, for a moment I thought we were going to lose you. And you ask how I am? You're the one who's in the hospital bed and almost died," I said.

"She almost succeeded, I'll give you that. I had such a hard time walking to you. I was having too much trouble talking and for some reason Jarvis wasn't saying anything." explained Clint with a frown.

"Hey, the important thing is that you're here with us, and you're okay. It's going to take some time, but you're going to be back to your old self." I then told him.

"I'm glad you are. I wouldn't want to be too far behind you haha." We laughed a little but he quickly stopped because of the pain.

"Hey take it easy ok? You need to let yourself recover." I said softly.

"Yes you are right. Then I don't have to worry. Since you're here, I guess you arrested her." he told me with a reassuring face but I didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Her ? What do you mean? Who are you talking about?" I then asked him.

"Well I'm talking about Y/n, who do you want me to talk about?" he said and his answer made my heart stop.

What does that mean 'arrest Y/n'?

"What do you mean arresting Y/n?" I asked him then.

"Wait, are you serious? I don't understand your reaction. Of course you stopped her, I mean, she's the one who tried to kill me." explained Clint.

The color drained from my face and my ears were ringing. This couldn't be happening.

"Oh my God," I muttered then. I stood up and started pacing.
