Phantasm

Chapter 10

Clint and the team found their way to Spain within two days and was in the place that Alex was last seen on surveillance. They had no idea where she went next. They decided to split up and see what they can find. 

Even though they didn't want to leave Clint alone they decided they needed to cover more ground. 

He found his way around the rail stop station and didn't know where else to go. There were some doors that he tried that were locked and there were a couple other doors he was going to try until he told the team his results. 

Walking through one of the doors he smelled shit. Literal shit, it was the bathroom. He wrinkled his nose not enjoying the smell but needed to check it out because he needed to find Andy. 

Looking through the mess that was the bathroom he saw blood against a wall. He walked over to check it out, he squatted down and looked at it. The blood was dry but it was above all of the other scum that was in the bathroom. 

"I got blood in the train bathroom." He said to the team. 

"Is the bathroom a mess? How do you know the blood hasn't been there for months?" Tony asked. 

"I just have a feeling Tony. It's above all of the other things that's around here. Alex was last seen here, Andy wouldn't have been that far behind. I just have a feeling about this." Clint said as he walked out of the bathroom and back up to the street. "She's in Spain. I know she is." He finished as he started walking and looking in alleys. 

Everyone was worried about him. It wasn't like him to have these feelings, that's normally a Steve thing, but for some reason Clint had the feeling this time. 

"Okay, I'm on my way to you. What's your location?" Natasha asked. She wanted to help him and also make sure he didn't endanger himself. 

"I don't know streets in Spain Nat. I'm by markets." He said as he kept looking in the alleys for any sign of Andy. 

"Okay I know where you are Clint. Don't move so I can find you. Stay put." She said and started to run to Clint, worried he'll get lost or do something stupid. 

People kept asking him to buy things in broken English or in complete Spanish and he shook his head and pushed his way past everyone. He needed to find Andy. 

Natasha literally ran into Clint and took a sigh of relief that he was still there and not injured. "Okay, so now let's find Andy." She said and he gave her a 'no shit sherlock' look. 

Andy hadn't moved far because of her injuries but she knew she needed to get help soon or she would die. As she limped through the streets she winced as the pain was growing, especially in her leg and chest. 

She made her way to a market and hoped someone would be willing to help her without getting her to a hospital. 

"Ayuadame." She kept saying and hoped someone could help her in anyway. 

No one was recalling looking at her. Her hope was running on low and she didn't know what she was going to do. She didn't know how much longer she could even walk because of her leg. 

Natasha and Clint were trying to look at everyone who they passed to see if it was Andy or even Alex. 

"Clint, I think we need to talk about the possibility that she's not here." Natasha said as she looked around at all the people that were going in and out. 

"She's here Nat, I know she is. Why do you follow Steve's hunches more than you follow mine?" He asked and looked at her, waiting for an answer. 

"Steve is a solider, he's kind of older than you too." She said and he rolled his eyes. 

"I am a spy! I have hunches and they are right! you just chose to ignore them because Steve is so much more of a captain." Clint said and Natasha just looked at him. 

"That's not true and you know it. I trust your hunches and I trust you." She said and he rolled his eyes. 

"You're talking about the only example that you have, Budapest, right?" He asked and she sighed. 

"Clint, we'r fighting in the middle of a Spanish market looking for Andy. We can't do this." She said and he just looked at her. 

"Whatever Nat. Just go and I'll try and find her." He said and they just stood there for a minute or two before Natasha started to walk away. 

Clint sighed and started to look through the crowd again. 

Natasha walked away and looked through the crowd, just in case she saw Andy. "Clint is staying in the market to try to find Andy. I can't get him to come with so let's go back to home base and wait for him there." Natasha said as she was walking out of the market. 

She saw someone hunched over and limping slowly down the street. Something told her to walk over to her and help her somewhere to get her help. 

As she was walking over to the woman Clint was still looking through the market. 

He saw a red head and started in the direction she was going. The red head was limping and was walking slowly. 

They both walked up to the person they were trying to get to. 

"Can I help you get anywhere?" Natasha asked the limping woman on the street. 

"Andy? Is that really you?" Clint asked the limping red head in the market. 

"Can I help you get anywhere?" A woman's voice said next to Andy. She turned around having recognizing the voice. 

"Oh my god, Natasha. I am so happy to see you." Andy said as she saw the familiar face of Natasha. 

Natasha's eyes widened and looked at Andy. 

"Oh my god we need to get you to the hospital." Natasha said and looked as Andy's injuries. 

"Back to Shield, I'm not going to a random hospital." Andy said and Natasha just looked at her. 

"Nope, you're going to a hospital. You're crazy." Natasha said and Andy shook her head. 

"Back to shield." Andy said as she winced and fell to the ground because her leg couldn't stand the weight of her body anymore. "Not a normal hospital, back to the states and back to the tower." She said as her vision went blurry. 

"Andy I need you to stay with me." Natasha said as she called the rest of the Avengers to her location and the QuinnJet. 

Andy looked at Natasha and blinked a couple of ties but the blurriness wouldn't go away. 

"Don't tell Clint unless I'm okay." She said as she slipped into unconsciousness. 

Natasha just looked at her and looked up as she saw Steve and Tony running over to them. 

"Hey Clint, just a false alarm, I thought I saw her." Natasha said as she pulled the mic out of her ear and looked at them. 

"We need to get her back to the states, back to the tower, and we can't let Clint know." She said and they just looked at her like she was crazy. 

Clint was running to Nat's location when he heard it was a false alarm. He stopped where he was. He lost her and he can't find her. 

Giving up was his only option to him. He didn't want to get his hopes up to find her again. 

He was done.
