The Animal
Disorientation.
Cages... Bars... Traps... Cages...
This was the life I knew. Everything was always a haze and there was never any continuous streams of collected memories. The pieces did not stay together. but there was always warmth. There was a constant warmth when there was no pain.
The pain.
It was always sizzling; shocking. And there were always commands. Gestures. I listened... I obeyed... or got killed.
This was the life I knew. This was the life I remembered. This was survival.
Whatever I was; this creature -abomination- that I recognized myself as, I knew I was female. It was natural instinct after all. I was always caged with another thing as well; and, somehow I'd always converse with it. No. With him. The other creature in the cage was not like me, but somehow (I'm not sure how) we were able to communicate. We spoke to each other without the use of anything physical. It was like a mental connection.
We were both protective of each other in the confinements of our unfortunate home. There were many times my companion could have gone on without me. He was not... tied; forced to this place. There were no bindings or constrictions around his neck or legs; unlike me.
A banging and deafening sound brought us to attention. "Behave now. Don't want another whippin', do ya?" A voice spoke from afar to the whole area we found ourselves in. Miniature burning balls of light illuminated the place, blinding us momentarily to our surroundings as a pair of heavy steps approached and stopped before our cage. A growl emanated from beside me in warning as our gaze fell on the new one I was like. My eyes narrowed as the two legged came closer.
I then heard a beep or clicking noise once before I lost all consciousness; lost my thoughts, my mind... my free will. All in that short moment.

With a sickening and perverse pleasure, the male outside the cage opened the barred gate and knelt beside the now placate female. "We have company... The unwanted kind," he whispered to her. "Get your friends and destroy them. Kill."
A grunt escaped the female before it transformed into an inhuman growl as the two unlikely companions left the cage. The order was given.
Author's Note: Here is the (Clint Barton x Mutant!OC) fic... finally.
This was a request submitted by the lovely Evaesis DeviantArt back in May. *le sweatdrop* No one can say I don't warn ahead of time that requests can take forever for me to do (even though the prologue has been complete for quite some time). This particular submission will have 6 pieces in total. Prologue, CH. 1, CH. 2, CH. 3, CH. 4 and an Epilogue. I've decided to make them short versus terribly long like Electrical Malfunction, where Mia comes from, which ranged at over 18 pages just for part 1. (I had to separate the story into two pieces in order to be able to upload it on DeviantArt.) I don't want to lose interest by doing such (especially with a character I like). I also don't want to lose the interest of my readers.
I hope you all enjoyed the first bit. I also hope to make you happy, Eva. :3
Thank you all for reading and I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
Yours Truly,
