A/n: I had this idea lingering in my head for weeks now, I am down right obsessed! It's going to eventually be a Stevexoc story because I love Captain America. I just really needed to get these story plots out of my head, seriously.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers, or any of the Marvel universe. I own only Willow, her past and the plot points she brings in with her.
Summary (of sorts)
Willow McClean had been foolish enough to believe she could remove herself from SHIELD. She believed that if she had remained away at school, only coming when absolutely needed, she could remain 'free'. But of course the twenty-six year old was foolish, one could never leave SHIELD.
Once SHIELD fell and began to splinter into small sub-groups, her phone began to ring. She had tried to ignore Nick Fury at first, denying him whatever he was seeking of her. But then the man sunk low and had someone else reach out to her, someone she could never deny.
Clint Barton had done a lot for Willow over the years having been the one to officially bring her into SHIELD before her eighteenth birthday. He had personally trained her in the ways of fighting. He had even tried to help her with her control, slowly guiding her in the best ways to keep her sanity.
So when Clint calls asking for her to come to his house there was little Willow could say. She was not going to deny the man who had helped her with so much, and she never needed an excuse to see his kids.
Her plan was simple enough; she would get the archer to see her reasons for wanting to stay away. She would tell him about her control, about how good she was doing, and she would convince him they were better off without her.
She had not banked on his argument being so sound, and his words being so convincing. Her plan did not include re-joining what remained of SHIELD, or joining the Avengers for that matter. But Willow was slowly learning that even the best laid plans go awry.
