Renegades Book [1]

Prologue

10 Years Ago
Nick's POV-
It's around 11:30pm. I held my baby in my arms she was sleeping peacefully and would occasionally disappear and reappear in her sleep. But I knew she was still there because I still held my grip on her.

I came to a stop outside of a farm house. I knocked on the doors and out came Clint. Since he and Natasha couldn't have a child of there own they were the first to volunteer to raise her. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. I hesitated but nodded I handed Raven to him but not before giving her one last kiss on the head.

She became invisible and Clint freaked out. "It's ok." I said. "She does that sometimes in her sleep." I said calming him down. He nodded and Raven reappeared her violet eyes opening from Clint's mini panic attack.

"Daddy?" She asked her soft angelic voice filling the silence when she realized she wasn't in my arms she started to struggle. Her jet black hair waving around frantically as she tried to remove herself from Clint's secure grip. "It's ok." I reassured her. She calmed down but I saw a tear run down her face. "Your going to be just fine." I said the memory wiping machine was still warming up so I decided to stall. "Hey squirt what do you say we look for Auntie Nat?" I asked. "Sure can we please Uncle Clint?" He chuckled. "Of course. Lets go find her." He said putting her down she ran into the house an ran straight through a wall. Clint looked at me with a shocked expression and I matched it.

"Well that's a new one." I said. Clint walked into the house and I followed. She came back with a half asleep Nat who was still in her mission suit. "Found her!" She said with an excited tone. "Good now lets go sit on the couch princess." I said ushering her towards the couch. "Ok." She said in a cheery tone. She had no idea what was next.

I couldn't find it in me to wipe her memories of me completely. Maybe it had something to do with the jealousy I was feeling that Clint and Tasha would get to raise her and all I could do was watch from afar.

She sat down on the couch like she was told. Her smile so big and white that I almost reconsidered doing this to her. "Hey." I told her as tears started to well up in my eyes. "I have to go but first I'm going to give you some medicine. It will make you feel better." I said hoping she would buy it. But she didn't instead she insisted that she was fine. So I had to make up a better excuse. I told her it would help with her powers. She reluctantly gave up. I took the memory wiper and moved it across her forehead.

Her eyes lost there light and slowly dimmed to the dullest shade of Violet I had ever seen. Then she collapsed on the couch. Natasha had a worried look on her face. "It's ok she'll be out till morning." I explained carrying Raven upstairs. "First door to you right!" I heard Clint yell.

When I walked into the room I saw the walls where beige with hardwood floors a black rug that was underneath a twin bed. I pulled the black comforter back and laid he down on the bed. I pulled the comforter to her shoulders and kissed her head.

After that I left. I thank Clint and Natasha. After that I left the house and walked to my black BMW.

Clint's POV-
After Fury left Nat fell asleep on the couch. I chuckled and carried her to our bedroom. I soon found myself falling asleep next to her thinking of our new life with Raven.
