Clint and Nat and the rest of the Avengers

Chapter 9

Nat's POV
When we arrived downstairs Sophie was still asleep and there was no sign of Erick.
I went to the couch and Clint found a spot by my side. "So how have you been?"

"Good, it's really nice here, never thought I would like this kind of life"

"Me neither, is this the first time you are in a neighborhood like this?"

"No, I've been in a place like this before, but not for fun, and definitely not doing something nice"

"It's okay, you are not like that anymore"

I gave him a reassuring smile and his hand went to my cheekbone "thanks for coming, but we should probably leave tonight. I don't want anyone to come after them"

"Where are you planning on going?"

"No idea"

"I can ask Fury or Hill to help us"

"They will probably say we have to stay together, you know, when I say we I mean the Avengers. She will say it's better and safer"

"Well Nat, it is"

"So we should get back to NY at the Tower tonight, tell everything to Tony so he can call Steve and Bruce. Thor is probably safer in another planet. Ugh this is all my fault"

"Shhh, don't say that. I'll go upstairs and do it, I'll be back in a sec"
He went to the stairs when I called him

"Clint?"

"Yes?"

"You should probably call Laura, she might be in danger too"

"Yeah, I'll work on that"

One minute after he left I heard the door open and Erick came in "hello"
"Hi"

"Is everything okay? Has she been sleeping for a while now? I saw a car outside..."

"She's been sleeping for almost an hour and a half... and the car outside is from Clint"

"Clint? Like your... friend Clint?"

"Yeah, he's upstairs. We are gonna leave tonight, it's not safe for you guys if I stay here any longer.."

"What? You are leaving?"

"Actually... I think it would be good if you guys come as well. Just for a while, we can help you get ready, pack, and stuff"

"Hmm, Okay. If it's safer for Sophie, I couldn't agree more"

On this minute Clint went down the stairs and noticed Erick was there "You must be Erick" Clint said.
"I am, and you are Clint. I've heard good things"
"That is nice, I thought she would do totally the opposite"
Oh Clint.
"So I have to pack then"
"What?"
"He's coming with us Clint. Sophie too, I have to keep them safe"
"Okay, we should start now then..."
"Right, I'll go to my room pack my stuff while Sophie still sleeps"

He left and Clint looked at me smiling
"He seems nice"

"He is"

"Not more than me right?"

"Hmmm, I don't know..."
He looked at me confused
"I'm just messing with you"

He came to me and got in his knees in front of me "why don't we go upstairs and I'll help you pack"

"There is no need, I've everything in a bag"
I looked at him, I knew what his intentions were, he wanted to be alone with me and have this deep conversation. The thing is, I'm not a deep conversation kind of person, and he knows it.
