You Have a Nightmare {Pt.1} (Tony, Steve, Clint)

Tony- You roll over in bed, muttering softly. The same dream that has been haunting you for weeks had resurfaced, making your night less than pleasant. A swirling black oblivion, screams, and your worst fears popped up and out, and you whimpered. You felt hands grab you, and you woke with a scream. "Babe?" Tony bolted up beside you, and you looked at him. "Another bad dream?" He asks softly, and you nod. He wraps his arms around you, and you lay back down. He holds you close and kisses the top of your head. "Go back to sleep baby. I'm here, and I'll protect you." He whispers, understanding what you're going through. You nod again and slowly close your eyes, feeling safe in Tony's arms.

Steve- It was back. That dreaded dream from when you were a little girl. The swirling whirpool of darkness was swallowing you whole, and no matter how much you tried to fight against it, the force became stronger and stronger. Before the fears could crush you, you woke with a start. You were sweating, and Steve was looking over you, concerned. "Sweetheart? Are you okay?" He whispers, and you shiver. "N-No, bad dream." You say in broken English, too shaken to form actual sentences. "Come here." He says, pulling you into a gentle embrace. You snuggle into his arms, fighting back tears. "Don't be upset. Just remember that it isn't real, and that I'm right here for you. Nothing bad will happen to you while I'm here." He whispers, making you feel safe, for sure.

Clint- "No.... No....." You whimper in your sleep. The only bad dream that had ever freaked you out had come back to haunt you, and it was truly terrifying. You were cornered, no way out, and men were brandishing knives. As one of them jabbed at you, you woke up screaming. Clint jumped up beside you, and he immediately pulled you into a hug. "Shh, it's all okay." He whispered. You began sobbing into his chest, and he rubbed your back. He lay back with you in his arms, and he held you close. "Go back to sleep. I'm right here, and don't worry about the nightmares. Just picture me there, and picture me putting an arrow through their eye sockets." He said, making you smile. "Okay. Goodnight." You whisper, closing your eyes and falling back asleep.
