Fighting Next To You ~ A Clintasha FanFiction

Part Ten

                  

"So what are we going to do?" Clint asks me. I've just told him everything and now he's slightly worried.

"We carry out the plan with Andy and then on Tuesday we need to ring Taylor and tell her to pack her bags. She'll then hide here with the kids, we just need to distract Brett." I pause to think of a plan.

"Why don't we contact him saying his Mom has been taken into hospital or something? Smith is quite a common surname, when he gets to the hospital and sees that 'they've' made a mistake, he won't think anything of it. Then we call Fury and tell him to send someone out to pick up Taylor and the kids, they need to send someone to medically assess Marcie too." Clint says. I nod.

"Did you get any other information from Brett?" I ask Clint as he takes off his shirt and climbs into bed.

"He hardly spoke, and when he did it was just to tell Xander to shut up. Poor kid, he's dealt with so much. No child should have to go through what he's gone through." Clint switches off the lamp next to the bed. "What do you want to do this weekend?" Clint asks me warmly, turning to face me. I can't see him properly due to the darkness of the room.

"Contact Fury." I say shortly, not in the mood for chit chat. I can tell he wants to do something, whether that be ice skating or seeing a movie, but we really need to focus on the task in hand. This is serious.

"Okay, we can do that in the morning. Night Tasha." Clint rolls over and yawns. The room fills with silence.

"Night Clint."

:*:*:*:*:*:

"So you're telling me that Brett Smith used his own daughter as a test subject?" Fury says down my cell phone.

"Yes Director. I was wondering if you could send somebody out on Tuesday to come and collect Taylor and the kids, Clint and I are planning to shelter them for the day." I wait for Fury to say something.

"I can send someone out at three o'clock in the morning. That'll have to do." Fury says shortly.

"Thank you Director, please could you also send a medic to assess Marcie Smith, she's suffered major psychological impact due to the event, and I'm slightly concerned about her health." Clint gives me a thumbs up as I wait for Fury to answer once more.

"Yes, that's doable Agent Romanoff. Good job Agent." And with that, he hangs up.

"Do you think Taylor will be able to manage another few days?" I ask Clint as he puts our lunch on the table. He's made omelettes with mushrooms and bacon.

"Hopefully. On Tuesday we'll have to tell her the truth about who we are, and explain that S.H.I.E.L.D are the good guys." Clint sits down next to me and starts to eat his lunch.

"Are you ready for work tomorrow?" He asks me. I shrug, starting to eat.

"I've looked over the alibi and I remember the plan, so I think so."

Clint nods and finishes his last mouthful of omelette. I wash up the dishes and head into the sitting room to watch TV. It's been a hell of a few days, and I need to relax. I can't help worrying about Taylor and the twins. To think they've been suffering in silence for years, and I'm the first person Taylor has confided in. She's only twenty-two and the twins are only sixteen, it must be absolute hell for them. I'm also worried about Andy Smith. If the plan works, he'll like Kayley (me) because of her past (suicide and depression), and will try to take her into A.I.M. and will say that he's 'helping' her. Once I get into A.I.M. I'll blow my cover and take over the building, but if the slightest thing goes wrong, I could find myself on the operating table. Clint's worried too. He's planning to 'go out of town for a few days' when in actual fact he'll be tailing Andy Smith, and when Andy takes me into A.I.M. Clint will follow us, and help me infiltrate the building.

Agent Janeeva and Agent Tay haven't found much during their search, the only information they have found was that Avana Sparks stayed in a small hotel on New Jersey's border on the night she escaped. Currently they are tying up some loose threads with that, but we've had no further information.

All Clint and I can do now is save Taylor and hope our plan works.
