NATASHA
Tony had managed to convince me that in the fight wasn't my place. I made this fight personal. He'd told me to stay below, make sure the people in the bunker were safe and that was it.
But I couldn't help going up to the roof door and just listening. And once I heard Clint engaging in conversation I knew that I had to be out there. This was my fight.
'Drop the boy.' I say, my voice wavering slightly as the sight of my old friend sent me back to my past. I didn't like to think about the things I'd done and I couldn't look at her without seeing all the people I'd murdered. My eyes pass briefly over Anja's dead body, it pulls at my chest because after everything, she was just a girl forced into this life. This wasn't our choice to become these killers. She didn't deserve this life.
'Alright.' Iyra says, and she smiles. She pulls Peter to the edge of the building and cuts off his circulation I let out a cry as I realise what she's about to do. She drops Peter to the ground and I fire the gun just as Clint lets an arrow fly into her head. She falls to her knees and then she lies face down, blood creating a pool around her.
I freeze where I am and I look at her body and I find myself on my knees, sobbing. Clint climbs across branches till he gets to one which he can jump onto the roof from.
He puts his quiver and his arrow on the floor and comes over to where I am. He wraps his arms around me as I sob uncontrollably. He doesn't question my emotions, just holds me and allows me to cry. Because I grew up with these two girls and they lie before me, dead.
