See Me--An Avengers Fanfiction

Chapter 2

It  was Monday so that meant Team Training day. Great. Imrie hated team  training. They never let her do anything, which Harley loved to point  out at any given time. And the worst thing was, Sam and Pepper weren't  back yet. So, she had had to deal with the others for the whole weekend  alone. 

She  was in the corner stretching when she heard someone come in the door of  the training room. Which was weird because everyone was already in  here. When she turned around to see who it was, she almost squealed in  happiness. It was Sam!

"Sam!"  she yelled in happiness. She ran over to him and literally jumped into  his arms. He caught her easily because of how small she was. She practically held onto him for dear life. Sam, Pepper, and her friends always told her she gave the best hugs. He held her with the same strength and he chuckled  as he twirled her around then set her down in front of him.

"Hey kid," he said ruffling her hair with a smile. "I missed you."

She smiled. The rest of the Avengers were soon swarming Sam, pushing her out of the way.

She  sighed then went back to what she was doing. There was a course set up  for her, so she got to doing that. She didn't usually do the course  because she didn't like to show off her powers, but since the Avengers  weren't paying attention to her, she decided to try it out again.

She stood on a raised platform and the glass walls closed around her. She stood waiting while the holographic targets started to come towards her. 

"JARVIS set to Level 8." There were ten levels and she had only done the first five. She was bored though; she wanted a challenge.

Imrie  conjured a fire ball in both palms and started throwing them at  targets, hitting them straight on. She did an aerial off the platform  and landed on both feet on the ground. She pulled out some of the many  daggers she had hidden in her training uniform. She threw two at a time,  each hitting their mark. What the Avengers didn't know, was that she  was well versed in a multitude of weapons. She had been teaching herself  ever since she was kicked out of her house. So, she might have had Shuri make some upgrades. A bow and multiple arrows were soon coming  out of the wall and she ran up the wall grabbing the bow and arrows as  she was going into the flip. She drew an arrow back and hit another  target, she continued with this until she was out of arrows, she then  fought with the bow itself. Hitting targets left and right. At some  point she had grabbed a gun and was hitting each target with deadly  accuracy. Swords dropped from the ceiling and she caught them, she  slashed through the holograms. One of them ended up getting a hit on her  and she flew back towards the wall. She recovered quickly though and finished the last two off with her fire balls.

Imrie was out of breath by the time she had put all the weapons away in their proper places and opened the glass doors. 

When she got out, she was met with the shocked expressions of the Avengers.

Sam gave her a proud look.

"How did you-?" Steve started but he just shook his head in confusion.

"Just because I don't train with you, doesn't mean I don't train."

"Imrie, stop with the attitude. We just want to know how you did that," Natasha told her.

Imrie looked around with fake confusion, "So now you're interested in my training?" she snapped back at Natasha.

Natasha just gave her a shocked expression at being talked back to.

"God, why can't you just be like the other kids?" Tony asked. Wanda and Pietro looked uncomfortable and Harley looked like a smug little shit.

"No wonder your parents didn't want you," Clint said.

There were a couple of gasps.

"Clint, what the fuck?!" Sam yelled.

"Too far dude," Bucky said.

"What it's true! You've got a dead sister don't you as well? I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you."

Tears filled her eyes and Sam stepped in front of her as if protecting her from Clint's comments.

She  heard yelling going on, but she didn't really care. She ran towards the  door, not able to stop a choked sob from leaving her mouth as she ran  out the door. She could hear people yelling at her to stop but she  didn't listen, and she just kept running. She ran to her room and she  started to full on sob. She collapsed on her bed and let her cries rack  her body as she grasped onto her pillow. She soon felt herself being  pulled into someone's chest. It was Sam. 

"Dad," she cried.

"It's okay, I'm here," he whispered into her ear. 

"They didn't want me, he's right," she gasped out.

"Hey,  look at me," he said gently. "Barton's wrong. This was not your fault.  And any parent would be lucky to have you. I know I am."

She put her head back on Sam's chest and he rubbed her back soothingly.

"They don't want me Sam. They hate me." She let out another sob. "I don't know what I did, I don't know what I did!"

She was close to a panic attack and her skin started to heat up and her veins were turning red, you could see the magma running through them. The only reason it wasn't hurting Sam was because her powers had learned to trust him by now.

"Just breathe with me hun. Follow my breathing pattern. Can you tell me one thing you see?"

"The bed sheet," she whimpered.

"That's good. Okay can you tell me one thing you hear?"

"The fan." She let out a whine. Sam just held her closer.

"You're doing great baby girl. Okay, one thing you can feel?"

"Your shirt," she said while grasping onto it.

"Alright one thing you can taste?" 

"Salt."

"Last one, one thing you can smell."

She already felt yourself calming down and you took a deep breath before  answering. "Your cologne," she remembered which one it was because when  you had gone with him to his moms house she had gotten it for him for Christmas.

The magma had cooled down a bit and you could barely see her pronounced veins anymore. Her breathing was even now, and Sam eased her back on the bed and he softly stroked her hair until she fell asleep.

Sam's POV

When he saw she was asleep he kissed her on the forehead and closed the door behind him.

Sam went downstairs to where the Avengers were having lunch.

They all looked at him warily when he came in. 

"I expect you to all apologize to her later. I just had to help that fifteen-year-old girl through a panic attack. God guys, she thinks that you hate her. You're all supposed to be her family."

A couple of them had the decency to look ashamed but some just didn't care. Sam planned on changing that.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Clint's a bit OOC in this but I promise he'll get better!
