SHIELD's HYDRA

Mind Control

Clint Barton

'Fuckin' HYDRA. Fuckin' mind control.' He thought. He was supposed to bring in Fury so that they could make HIM torture and murder him. He couldn't fight them. He just couldn't. He wanted out but his body wouldn't respond. He only hoped that someone stopped him before that. Even if that meant putting a bullet between his eyes. He silently made his way towards Fury's safe house. Once he got there he picked the lock and made his way in. Instead of Fury it was Nat. She looked up when he walked in.

"Clint," She started. "If you're in there and can hear me, I'm sorry about this." Then she attacked. Her movements were swift and deliberate. We were neck and neck until Cap busted the door. I turned, surprised and that was the opening she needed. She knocked me in the head and pinned me. "Clint snap out of it!" I tried to respond but my body still wouldn't obey. She then released one of my arms and put a knife into it. "Take control of your own self, or kill me," she whispered. By the look on Steve's face this wasn't part of the plan.

"Widow! What are you doing?" Cap yelled.

"He won't hurt me. This will either get him back in control or show that there's no way to get him back in control." She stated in a monotone. I struggled with my mind. Don't, don't make me kill her.

Natasha Romanoff

I could see the struggle in Clint's eyes, The blue and red at war. The blue was winning. One more push and the red would die. I leaned over and whispered into his ear, "Я люблю тебя. Всегда.(I love you. Always.)" The knife clattered to the ground. Before anything else could happen Tony, Bruce and Thor came in through the window.

No One

Barton and Romanoff were on the floor with Barton still pinned. Before anyone could move Romanoff helped Barton off the floor. Once he was up Romanoff jumped at him. Her arms wrapped around him and his went to her waist. She then leaned up and kissed him, much to the shock of everyone other that the two assassins. They pulled apart and smiled at eachother. "Всегда," Clint whispered. Natasha smiled and let go of his neck. The rest of the Avengers were frozen in shock.

"Hello? Anyone home?" Clint asked. They all snapped to attention. Before anyone could ask any questions Natasha stepped in.

"We will explain later but for now you four try to keep the civilians safe while Barton and I go to command and shut this thing down." All of them nodded and went their separate ways.

Clint Barton

Nat and I made our way to SHIELD command. Once we got there we made our way in silently. We saw Pierce. Garrett and Sitwell there. We nodded at each other creating a strategy without needing to speak. I shot Garrett in the throat and Nat shot Sitwell. Pierce turned and looked at us.

"Ah, Agents Barton and Romanoff. So good to see you."

"Shut it down," Natasha demanded without acknowledging that he said anything.

"No. Ward." Agent Ward made his way out and stood in front of Pierce. Clint shot him in the chest automatically. Once he fell Natasha went to Pierce and Clint went to the three agents on the floor to make sure they were, in fact, dead.

"Shut. It. Down."

"I already answered this question. No." Clint saw a vial of what they were using to control the agents and picked up that and a injecter.

"Nat!" He called as he threw it. Once she caught it she was confused as to what it was until she saw the edge of the vial. She smirked and grabbed Pierce's neck and injected him.

"Shut it down and copy the program onto this then delete it." She hande3d his a flash drive that was in her did as he was told then collapsed. After a minute or two he woke up and saw the program gone.

"NO! What did you do?!"

"Actually, it's what you did," Clint responded. Pierce lunged at them with his arms outstretched. Before he got within ten feet of them he had a bullet between the eyes and an arrow in the throat. They smiled at each other and made their ways back to Avengers Tower.
