Chapter 3

Claire's POV

I stare at the man in front of me. Standing there, he looks the same as he did when I last saw him, albeit grown up. He definitely put on some muscle, and grown a foot or so. I look into his eyes. The brown eyes, that were so similar dad's, stare at me with confusion and joy. Seeing those eyes, however, is the last straw. I sobbed and turn away from him and hug my pillow. I hear footsteps and a hand touches my shoulder.

“What's wrong, Clairebear?” Clint's voice came from above me and I opened my eyes to see him standing near me, with his hand on my shoulder. I jerked myself away from him and crawl to the corner of my bed to get away from him.

“You're asking me what's wrong? Are you here to throw me out again? To tell me you never loved me? Can't you just leave me alone? What did I ever do to you? Why did you abandon me? Do you know how much pain that caused me? Do you know how betrayed I felt that day you left? You left so sudden, no note, no phone calls, no nothing!” Tears streamed down as I continued.

Breaking eye contact, he looks away and I follow his eyes to the red haired woman by the window. A pang hits my heart as I realized his must be who he cares for. My breath comes in short waves and the pain bursts through my head. I cried out in pain falling over to my bed. My head spins and I hear people rushing in, and I fall unconscious.

Natasha's POV

Clint's sister falls over, and we rush to help Pamela as she works to help her. Her body is shaking and her arms move in jerky, short movements. She calms down eventually and we sat in her room and watch her. I look over to Clint who was staring out the window.

“So your sister, huh?” Tony asks, trying to lighten the mood.

“Yeah, I'm curious. How come you never told us about her? And how come SHIELD didn't find out?” Clint sighs.

“Claire is my younger sister by five years. Our parents died when we were little, it was just the two of us. Then when I was 12 years old a guy came up to me. He told me that I could have a family again and that I would be loved. I was so happy about what he said and I didn't even bother my sister. It was selfish and dumb, I know. The man died eventually and SHIELD found me. And you already know the rest of the story.” He finished talking and lowers his head. We all sat there, taking in all the new information, from him and Claire.

I got up and walked up to Claire's side. Looking down at her, one can see the fragile state she's in. Making up my mind, I turn around to the others.

“We are taking her to the carrier.” Tony looks up, disbelief written in his face.

“And you think that Fury will let us prance in and bring her.” I turn to him.
