See Me--An Avengers Fanfiction

Chapter 4

"So, this is your studio?" Shuri asked.

"Yeah, Pepper set it up after she found out I was just recording on my phone in the garage because it has good acoustics."

Shuri laughed. "Of course."

"Oh, I have a favor to ask, or rather my sister does."

"You have a sister."

"Yeah, the Avengers don't know about her, but she needs a suit. She's taken up vigilantism."

"Yeah, I'll send it over to her."

It's Tuesday when the fight breaks out. Tony's talking to Harley about inheriting the company.

"Imrie, what do you want to do?" she heard Steve asked.

She looked up, surprised. She tried not to participate in conversations at breakfast.

"Um, musical theatre."

"Really? We didn't know you could sing."

"Yep," she said awkwardly.

"That's not really a great career to go into," Steve muttered.

Imrie looked down at her lap. This is why she didn't talk to them.

"Really Steve?" Bucky scolded.

She looked up with a bit of shock on her face.

"What?"

"I don't think that Imrie would decide on something if she hadn't thought it through. And you know I'm a bit confused as to why it's always Imrie that everyone always picks on. She's clearly talented. I don't know if you guys were there when she was in the training room, but she's damn good. I really don't get why she's never been on a mission with us," Bucky told them.

That's how she found herself crouching next to Clint on a mission with the Avengers. They were watching everyone else's backs. Imrie drew her bow back and shot a guard that was creeping up behind a fighting Natasha.

"Thanks kid." she heard in her comm.

Clint just gave her a small nod and drew his bow back to strike another guard. It was then that she noticed someone across the place that had his gun trained on Clint, she saw him about to pull the trigger and without thinking she jumped in front of him and took the bullet for him. The bullet ripped through her abdomen and she collapsed back into the Clint from the impact, her caught her and gently lowered her to the ground in shock.

She heard him talking into his comm. "Imrie's down, gunshot to the abdomen, no exit wound."

Clint's POV

He drew back the bow as another guard was making his was to the exit. But before he could Imrie was suddenly in front of him and a shot rang out. She collapsed back into him and with shaking hands he eased her to the ground.

She had taken a bullet for him. The girl that he had relentlessly taunted.

"Imrie's down, gunshot to the abdomen, no exit wound," he said with a slight shake to his voice as he checked her back.

"Evac on the way," someone answered from the other line.

"Imrie's hurt?" he heard Sam ask. "I'm on my way."

He landed next to him just as he got out his knife to remove the bullet. The evac wouldn't get here in time. Once the bullet was out the rest of the team surrounded them and Wanda slightly gasped at the sight of the bloody knife and bullet lying next to them.

The field doctors carefully put her on a stretcher and the team trailed behind them.

"She's going to need an MRI to assess the damage and we need to stabilize her. Surgery will likely be needed to repair organs." They heard the doctor say.

Blood was dripping from the young girls mouth and she looked pale and sickly as they took her to a past of the plane. The plane lifted off, flying to the compound.

"She took a bullet for me guys. She stepped in front of a bullet to save me. She didn't even hesitate."

Steve turned and knocked a lab table over angrily.

Sam's POV

Tears were trailing down his face as they took his daughter away.

"She took a bullet for me guys. She stepped in front of a bullet to save me. She didn't even hesitate," he heard Clint say. Then a crash.

"Of course, she stepped in front of you dumbass. Were her family," Sam spoke up. "But all of you are too stupid to realize what an amazing girl she is because your heads are too far up your own asses to see logic! Tony, she is legally your daughter. But that's my baby in there. And she might die," his voice broke at the end.

"Sam, we do care about her," Natasha said behind him.

"You don't!" he yelled turning back to look at her. "Do you know her favorite flavor ice cream, what time she goes to bed, her favorite song or food? Do you know who her best friend is or the fact that her sister is alive? No! Because you don't care enough to find out. All you do is taunt her and make her feel horrible about herself, but do you care? No."

This time they all looked ashamed.

"Wait, did you just say sister?" Pietro asked.

"Yes, her sister is alive."

Imrie's POV

The next few months were painful, and she could barely stand without running out of breath. It was January now, so it's been about three months since she had been shot and she hadn't even been well enough to celebrate Christmas.

The wound was a lot better now and all the Avengers had been a lot nicer since the whole ordeal. Especially Clint.

Right now, she was trying to get a glass from the top shelf but the tugging at her injury was not helping and she hissed in pain. It was then that Clint and Steve walked into the kitchen.

"Imrie, no!" Clint scolded then helped her to a chair. The Captain reached up and grabbed the glass for her. He then filled it with water and brought it to her. She smiled in thanks and drank the water.

Don't get her wrong she was grateful for all the help the Avengers were giving her but sometimes it was a little suffocating. Like she thought that that some of the Avengers were bad. But Clint, Pepper, and Sam. Clint was constantly checking if she was alright, Pepper freaking out every time she moved, and Sam was the worst, he literally carried her wherever she went when she first came home, and he never let her be alone.

But she was grateful despite everything. She only hoped this period of peace would last.
