"Ugh my head, what the hell happened?" I groaned as I sat up, the cold cement floor was rough against my skin. I looked around, seeing a small room, cement walls covered in grime and blood stood around me. The smell of mold hit me like a punch to the gut, I looked at the big metal door infront of me. My mind swarming with questions, I saw movement at my side. Looking over I saw clint, a gash on his cheek his body limp, breathing heavy. Gasping I quickly crawled to him.
Shaking his body i spoke "clint, clint wake up. Please wake up i need you come on" I said with concern. I heard a groan and he began to move, opening his eyes he got up. Holding his head he spoke "y/n, What happened?" He asked looking at me. "We were on a secret mission remember, but we got caught" I said looking at him.
He nodded "shit, were in a hydra base aren't we" he said with a sigh, looking over at me he "your not hurt right?" He asked, I shook my head "no not really" I said back. I stood up and so did he, we looked around for a way to escape but there was nothing. I sighed "the only way out is that fucking door" i said with frustration. He nodded and didn't speak.
I slid down a wall and sighed rubbing my temple, clint sat as well and I could see he was thinking. "What is it, I know that look" I said looking at him, "we need to get help" he said. I rolled my eyes "yeah no shit" I responded, ' we need a distraction, the way these people work there is no way we could both escape. So that means that only one of us will escape, but who should go?' I thought to myself quietly occasionally looking over at clint.
'I want to go but thats not smart, I may be good at my job but clint... he's the best in the business, the smart way would be for him to go. There is no way I'm gonna leave him here, he's to important to me. I mean he's important to the team.' I thought as I looked over at him once more. ' I can't let him die, he's an avenger im not, he can't be replaced I can. That settles it he's going to escape and ill be the distraction.' I sighed slightly and gave a small smile.
"Clint" I said getting his attention, he looked over "I know what to do" I said he nodded "yeah so do i" he said, I nodded "one of us need to be a distraction while the other escapes" I said and he nodded "ok good, you escape and ill be the distraction" I said. His face contorted in to confusion "what? No, you escape ill be the distraction" he said back.
"Clint no, that's not smart you ne-" I was suddenly cut off "no I'm not leaving you here, I dont care about smart you're not staying here" he said I'm a matter a fact voice. I rolled my eyes "no, your going to escape and I'm not arguing with you about this" I said firmly. "No I'm not leaving you here, I'll stay you go why would you stay? I can't just let you die here" he said back, "why? Are you serious, you have way more experience then me with situations like this number one, number two your an average your important to the world."
"If you die then there is an affect on the world, i am replaceable. You can find ten just like me, i can't let you die here knowing how important you are. Also if you went there would be a high chance that I would make it out alive from a rescue team" I said frustrated, he just rolled his eyes " no I'm not leaving you here, you are important. Your important to me, your important to the team, come on y/n just trust me" he pleaded. I looked away and sighed "clint you know I can't do that, its just not smart" I said quietly.
"Fuck smart, y/n look at me" he said and moved closer, I looked at him and he smiled "its gonna be ok, you'll make it out and I'll be fine dont yo-" "NO, clint I'm not leaving, you are and your not gonna convince me otherwise. I... I care about... I care about the team and they need you" I said struggling to find the proper words to say. He frowned at my words and was silent for a moment "well I care about you, and I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you" he said looking at the floor.
I looked over at him as he sighed and I put my head on his shoulder "clint... I care about you but in this line of work we can't..." I said looking down "yeah, yeah I know I just dont want you hurt" he said back. "Yeah I know, neither do I, thats why you have to go, you have to go get help. Get me back" I said with a small smile. "But what if I'm to late, what if they do something before I get back. What if... you don't make it" he said quietly almost whispering.
"Then I dont make it, its simple." I said, he scoffed and rolled his eyes "because that helps, you can be scared you know that right?" he said. I laughed " yeah I know, but i don't want to be. If I die I die, but just know I didn't go down without a fight, I wont let them get me with out a struggle. And if I die then just know ill be happy, because your are what I'm dieing for, you are what I'm living for." I said but he was silent "before I met you, I wasn't living i was existing. Sure I was breathing and speaking and smiling, but I wasn't living. When you showed up that all Changed" I said as I looked up at him.
"Clint I... I love you ok, I love you and I would fuck die for you, I would do anything to make you smile and happy" I said looking down. "I love you too, thats why I dont want you here." He said straining his voice trying to keep calm, "I know, but you know that you have to go" I said and he nodded. "Y/n I love you, I love you so much that it hurts sometimes, I love how you always stay strong and how your never give up. But I hate that your right, not all the time just right now, I hate that you know whats best, but I love that too." He said putting his head on mine.
"I love your smile, and how you can always make a joke, I don't want you here right now, I dont like that you work this job. I never have, your to nice for this" he said. I smiled, I could feel the tears in my eyes, I take a beep breath trying to hold them in, I try to calm myself. I feel his head leave mine and a hand on my face, I turn my head and he leans in and kisses me.
He kissed me softly, and when he pulled away, I smiled. Looking in his eyes I could see the tears brimming his eyes. A pained smile came across his face, I couldn't hold back my tears. They fell down my face, and I still smiled I didn't want his last image on me to be sad. I knew I wouldn't live, and so did he we just didn't want to admit it.
He wipe away my tears and a few tears fell from him too, I kiss were his tears landed, I wiped them away with my thumbs. Taking a deep breath "so whats the plan" I said, "I escape and you distracte" he said and I nodded "good" I said with a sigh. "Now we wait" I said and so we did.
---sad time skip---
"I can here them, thier coming" I said looking at clint, he nodded and we stood up. Looking at the big metal door, I looked at him and he looked at me I smiled and mouthed the words 'I love you' one last time before they opened the door. before they could even react i jumped onto the ground of men, fighting and drawing all there attention.
Third person pov
Clint ran out and didn't look back, he ran, and ran, and then he heard a gun shot and a scream.Then silence, he knew what that meant. He knew I wasn't gonna make it, he knew I would die. But it didn't hurt any less it just hurt more. He ran and hid and escape just like we planned. He got help, and when he came back y/n wasn't there. He knew she was dead.
He just want to see her one last time, kiss her one last time, hug her one last time. See her smile one more time, clint hasn't been the same since then. He doesn't feel like he use to, doesn't smile, doesn't talk, doesn't do anything except what he is told.
Your pov
I saw the door open, I could feel my heart beat in my fingers. My breath was shaky I looked at clint and I saw the pain in his eye. I mouthed I love you and before he could even respond I looked way, I jumped the men. I threw kicks, and punches, I bit, and scratched. I tried to give him as much time as I could, then there was a bang and pain. I screamed, they shot me in the heart, and as I was on the floor I looked down the hallway, clint was gone.
I knew he would make it, I knew he would be safe. I smiled, 'I'm cold' I thought before closing my eyes, 'I so cold' i thought before I stopped breathing, before I stop thinking.
