A/N: This is my first songfic, don't hate! Thank you, Merci, ve'Toda!
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
Natasha knew she didn't have much time left. No matter how hard she pressed, the blood kept flowing, her arms getting weaker and weaker by the second. Then suddenly, someone was standing over her. Clint.
"Oh 'Tash! What have you gotten yourself in to this time?" he tries to joke, but he knows as well as she does that this is a mission she won't be returning from.
"Clint… I… Tell Merida… Tell her… Her mommy… Mommy loves you… Clint…"
"It's okay, Nat, it's gonna be okay,"
"No… Clint, lis… listen!" she gasps. "I alw… always have a… and always will…" her voice starts to fade.
"'Tasha! Stay with me!" Clint begs. But it does no good.
With her final breath, Natasha Romanoff-Barton says
"I love you Clint."
Her chest shudders to a stop. He can feel the telltale pinpricks, and sheds a single tear. He kneels beside her, softly caressing her fiery locks.
"Natasha," he whispers, the name a prayer upon his lips.
"NATASHA!" he sobs into the dark alleyway.
He can't remember anything else. All he knows is that when he opened the door to their apartment, a small, red-haired child ran up to greet him and said two words.
"Where's Mommy?"
And that was when the sky fell.
