The Story Of Hawkeye

Chapter 12

Everything and everyone went silent. You couldn't even hear the wind.

Clinton peeked around the tree. Everyone was fine. However, everyone was staring at the bomb wide eyed. 

Clinton looked at the bomb.

A silver arrow was stuck on a red button. Clinton squinted at the bomb and saw that he succeeded. On the very bottom of the bomb, he could see the arrow above the word RESET.

Clinton got confident. He grabbed an explosive arrow and knocked his bow. He aimed and shot.

The blue tipped arrow landed on one of the men in the group in the chest as he fell to his knees.

Clinton presses a button of his bow.

And with that, the army exploded leaving one man alive. He was badly injured. He lay on a wall not moving. 

Clinton revealed himself. He came out from behind the tree. He walked over to the man. Clinton pressed another button on his bow and it turned into a two bladed sword. He held it up to the man.

"Anything to say?" Clinton asked. He couldn't help but grin. 

Around him the Avengers crowded. 

Clinton turned his sword back into a bow and knocked it. He aimed at the man. 

"Indeed I do." The man said, smiling. "BloodVein has the Forge. He'll kill all of you!"

Clinton rolled his eyes. "Not the first time I've heard that." And with that he released the arrow.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???" Captain America whispered. He had pulled him aside from the others. "YOU'LL BE KILLED!"

Clinton slumped his shoulders. "Like I said, not the first time I've heard that."

The Captain studied him. 

"Look I just saved your asses. So you're welcome!" Clinton tried to be sarcastic.

Captain America leaned in on him. "Look kid, since there's no way of getting rid of you, you can stay. But don't try to be like your father. You saved us once because nobody knew you were even here. Remember, don't touch anything or get yourself killed. This is Hydra, BloodVein and Loki we're talking about."

Clinton nodded. He wasn't five. He knew what he was doing. But he didn't remember anything about a guy named Loki.

Captain America lead him back to the group.

"What were you thinking???" Tony whispered in Clinton's ear.  

"Hey I saved you!!!" Clinton protested.

Tony sighed. He motioned for the Avengers to follow him.

Everyone followed Tony into the giant mansion. The floorboards creaked as they walked. The walls were gray and filled with cobwebs. Old paintings were hung on the wall, all of them dusty. Clinton felt like he was walking into a haunted house. 

Tony walked over to the paintings and studied them. He took out a small device and pointed it at the wall. The device beeped so loudly you could probably hear it from outside. Tony put the device back into his jacket pocket. 

"It's behind this wall." Tony stated still looking at the wall as if he was afraid a clown would jump out at any second.

Thor readied his hammer. He aimed and threw it at the wall.

The wall crumbled to pieces showing a large hallway the leads into the darkness.

"Okay." Captain America shot Clinton an evil look. "Who wants to go first?"
