by Carolinagirl117

Clint Barton was lost when Phil Coulson found him. He was searching for the man who betrayed him and he vowed he'd never stop until he got his revenge. When the trail goes cold, Phil tries to keep Barton busy by training new agents and hunting bad guys. Then Coulson puts him on a case that Barton's not so sure he can come back from: finding the Black Widow.

1. Let It Go

Let it Go

2008-

Clint perched on the rooftop of a building, watching his target through the sight on his bow. The steady pouring of rain splashed on the brick under his boots, creating diminutive puddles in the uneven walling. Clouds covered the sky, but his excellent eyesight wasn't impaired. Wind whipped his jacket collar across his neck, and the soft crack of thunder above did nothing to distract him. People hurried on the streets below, trying to avoid the coming storm that threatened above.

A familiar presence from behind helped to calm the scorching fire within him and eased his fears of being alone. Out of the corner of his eye, red hair whipped wildly in the wind. He knew she would guard his back, no matter what it took. He took a deep breath, and as he released it he expelled all the thoughts from his mind. He drove out all his fears, his self-doubts, and anything that would keep him from completing his mission. After waiting twelve damn years he was finally going to kill the son of a bitch who betrayed him.

He paused mid-breath and listened to his heart beating in his chest at a steady rate. His hands moving in a rhythm well-perfected over the years, he drew the string on his beloved bow, adjusting his aim as the wind picked up speed. He looked back to his target and released the arrow. He knew it would reach the target, because the best killer was the one you never knew was coming.
