I was snuggled up in bed with Clint when my phone suddenly started ringing. He groaned, "ignore it." I sighed, "it might be important." He huffed. I picked up my phone and sighed. I slowly hit the green button, "hey Steve," Clint gave me this annoyed look before he took my phone and put it on speaker, "Cap, this better be important. It's one of the only alone times we get." Steve sighed, "I know and I'm sorry. El, you have to promise you will stay where ever you are with Barton. You can't come looking for us and you sure as hell cant come home right now." I raised an eyebrow, "why not?" I heard Nat sigh, "Baby, please." I grumbled, "fine. I promise. Now what?" Nat sighed, "El, your dad is dead." I felt my whole body shake, "w-what do you mean he's dead? H-how?" Steve sighed, "Sweet heart, we don't have a lot of time to talk we're trying to find out who was after him and why they killed him. We promise that we will tell you everything we find out. Just please listen to us. okay?" I sniffed, "O-okay." He sighed, "we love you, darling." I whipped my eyes, "I love you both too. Stay safe. Please." As soon as the tone was heard Clint pulled me into his arms, "baby," I sniffed, "I-I spent so many years angry at him and now I'm crying b-because he's dead?" Clint kissed my head, "he was still your dad." I felt my body shake as I held in my sobs. Clint held me as I cried for hours on end.

Time skip:

My phone rang a few times but I ignored it. Clint sighed, "Liz," I shook my head, "I-I don't want to." He slowly grabbed my phone and picked it up, "Hey Tony, she's... she's not doing to great." I scoffed, "look man, Cap told us to stay here. Him and Nat are trying to find out who was after him. I'll have her call you when she's ready." He sighed, "I know. She's barley said two words in the past seven hours. I don't think she's really wanting to-." "I know. I feel it too. Listen-." It was obvious that Tony wouldn't give up until he talked to me so I took the phone

"h-hello,"

I heard tony sigh - "El,"

I sniffed, "don't. Please."

I heard moving before I heard Bruce say< "angel, you have to talk to us."

I shook my head, "I-I just. I'm just sad. I-I was so angry at him for so long and now he's gone. N-now I don't have that chance to try and fix everything."

Bruce sighed, "he loved you. Those were small problems compared to the big picture baby,"

I sniffed, "I-I didn't get to say goodbye." Clint held me as I started sobbing again.

I heard tony and Bruce both sigh. I know they were sharing a look. I knew they were most likely thinking the same thing... 'I should be with her.' But the thing is I did wanted to have time to process everything before I saw everyone again. Before I wasn't left alone to think because they knew my thoughts would consume me. At least here with Clint I only had one person constantly making sure I was okay and he was spending time with the kids which also made me want to get out of bed. It made me want to go see violet and talk to Laura. Being here made me wish even more then ever that I hadn't lost the babies. I wanted to be able to give Clint's kids a younger sibling. I wanted to be able to pack them lunches and watch them go to school for the first time.

More then ever did I want to have a real conversation with my dad. To tell him that I forgave him for everything he had put me through. I wanted him to be there for my future kids and I wanted him to walk me down the isle at my wedding. I wanted him to be there for so many mile-stones but he wasn't going to be. He had died because of a job he had for years.

I couldn't help but wonder if carol was going to come for his funeral. If she was going to say goodbye to him before he was put in the ground. Part of me wished she would be but the logical part knew she wouldn't show. It was hard to think that my biological mother and my fathers soulmate wouldn't even be there for her own daughter and her other soulmate.

I felt all of my soul marks sending worry through my body except three. Steve's, Nat's and The last Mark that I've yet to find. I felt them in a different way. Steve and Nat were shocked while the last one was confused and terrified. I would get random shocks of pain through that mark. I slowly brushed my fingers over it and felt shock come through it.

Who ever my last soulmate was they were in danger and I needed to find them.
