Five Years Ago...
Hardvard
SHIELD operatives were currently undercover at the Ivy Leauge school hoping to catch some new recruits before the year was well underway. "I don't know why you're making me do this Barton." Natasha Romanoff said over the raido unit. She and her partner were one of the undercover teams at the school, Barton posed as a purse snatcher while she was the one who got her purse snatched.
"Because Nat, after the whole HYDRA thing with the Winter Soldier SHIELD needs more recruits. Can the chatter, I see a potential heading your way." She looked up then saw the student Clint was talking about. He had light brown hair, hazel eyes and wore NYPD shirt. It seemed like he was running his usual morning path so he would notice she wasn't a normal civilian.
"Agreed." She said, still opposed to the idea. "Do it." When Clint didn't reply she pretended to talk on her phone while seemingly innocently placing her bag on the ground at her feet. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Clint snatch the purse so she played her role. "Help! That man just stole my purse!" She could almost see the smirk that was surely forming on Barton's face. As expected the student took one look at the situation then sprinted after the guy, Natasha made sure to stay a few feet behind him. The student tackled Clint, she winced at the feedback when the radio unit was pushed to the pavement. He picked up the purse, walked over to her and handed it to her. Her partner on the other hand stood up then rubbed his cheek,
"Jesus Nat, I think he might be one of us after all. The kid can throw a mean right hook." For some reason the student flinched at being called a kid then said,
"with all do respect, what the hell is going on here?" Nick Fury cleared his throat then said,
"Jaminson Reagan, youngest son of the current Comissioner." Natasha almost laughed at the look of shock that was etched across Jaminson's face.
"Jamie." The kid said, not accepting Nick's handshake.
"You know, the last person who refused Nick Fury's handshake got a finger chopped off." A new voice said as Phil Culson came out of the shadows. Jamie looked at the four of them like they were insane.
"How do you know who I am, and why are you dressed like a pirate?" He asked, Clint laughed while Natasha sighed then answered,
"We work for an organization and we need to get new members, if you want to join that is." Jamie chuckled to himself then said,
"Look, there must be some mistake. I'm just an eighteen - year - old trying to get through my first month at an Ivy Leauge school. If this is a kidnapping attempt then you guys gotta up your game." He turned around then Nick tried a different tactic,
"Mr. Reagan, if you join us you will become a member of one of the world's best independent government organizations." To Natasha's surprise Jamie laughed at him,
"First of all Mr. Reagan is my grandfather, second of all, I don't care about some stupid government organization." Phil threw in the last thing they had,
"Joe's murder wasn't on accident." Jamie froze mid-step then slowly turned around.
"What are you talking about? They said he died due to a drug-bust gone wrong, there was no evidence of foul play." Culson nodded then said,
"The people who killed your brother are still active. They've organized hundreds of executions in New York alone, if you want to find out what really happened that night you need to come with us." Profiling the kid Natasha knew that they won him over. His eyes held confusion and hated in them, he stepped forward then said,
"What do I sign?"
Current Day...
Post - Avengers
"Clint Barton get your ass down here!" Jamie screamed, when he opened the fridge door he got covered with condiments. Hawkeye's laughter was heard throughout the building. Jamie grinned then shouted, "you're on kid brother!" Suddenly the door opened and in came Tony Stark.
"Oh no! The last time you two had a prank war it destroyed my entire lobby floor!" The billionaire exclaimed as Clint slipped into the room through the vents.
"If I may Son of Stark," Thor said as he rummaged through the cabinets, "it seems we are out of anything edible to eat." By now the rest of the Avengers were in the room hungry for lunch.
"What are we going to do?" Jamie asked, "without food we're going to starve!" He didn't miss the eye roll Nat made towards his dramatic antics.
"Relax, we can just go out for Shawarma in a few minutes, I just have to take care of a few things first." The Avengers all agreed (which was a rare occurrence) then Jamie said,
"Let's just go now Tony." Giving in the billionaire agreed then ushered the Avengers down to the main lobby of their tower.
As Jamie walked down the street everywhere he looked he saw families going for an evening on the town. "What's with the long face kid?" Clint asked him, the two agents hung back from the rest of the group so the others wouldn't overhear them. Jamie shrugged,
"Nothing." His brother sighed,
"Jamie, need I remind you that I'm your brother, I know when something's up." Jamie continued to walk in silence for a few minutes before saying,
"I miss my family Clint, my real family." The Archer feigned offense,
"I thought I was your brother!" Jamie gave him a playfull shove then said,
"You know what I mean." They arrived at the restaurant a few minutes later.
After everyone had their fill of food Tony paid the bill then they returned to the tower, where of course Nick Fury's stood waiting for them. "What do you want this time Nick?" Tony asked sarcastically, the Director of SHIELD smirked then pointed to Jamie,
"I need to speak with Agent Reagan." When no one left the room he added, "alone." Dismissing the rest of Jamie's team.
"What's up boss?" Before Fury responded he told JARVIS to shut down all recording devices.
"I need you too go undercover with an organization called the Blue Templar. The FBI's been trying to crack them for a long time, but they don't leave any evidence behind." Jamie frowned,
"Why me?" He asked honestly confused, "I'm sure there are other agents better suited, I mean Clint's gone undercover in HYDRA for God sakes." Fury shook his head then handed Jamie a yellow file,
"These people Jamie, they're the ones who organised the hit on your brother." Hatred was the only thing Jamie saw until he looked at the file,
"Riordan, seriously? You couldn't have given me anything better than Jimmy Riordan?" Nick shrugged,
"Not my pick Phil chose this assingment for you." Jamie sighed then said,
"I'll take it, but if I find out who killed my brother I'm killing them." Fury didn't protest, in fact he said nothing else as he walked out of the room. Jamie looked at his undercover file then sighed, Phil better pray he'll come out uninjured otherwise Clint and Natasha would have his head.
Five Years Ago...
Sunday dinner was tense, it was the week before Jamie moved to Hardvard and Danny was still fighting him on becoming a lawyer. "I'm just saying Jamie, law school is for the weak." Erin coughed then he turned to her and corrected himself, "except for you of course sister of mine." Joe sat on Jamie's right while everyone else was where they usually sat.
"I don't understand why this is such a big deal Danny!" Jamie shouted, "I want to be a lawyer, so what?! It's not the end of the world!"
"Watch your tone Jamie." Warned his father, but Jamie ignored him.
"If I want to be a lawyer then I'm going to be a lawyer and there is nothing you can do to change my mind!" Jamie shouted across the table, "in fact, if you're so against me becoming a lawyer don't worry about helping me move the rest of my stuff, I'll catch a cab!"
The next Thursday Jamie was on his way to Hardvard without making up with his brother.
Current Day...
Jamie walked into the bar in full swag ready to find out who pulled the trigger on his dead brother. Just as he got settled in a card game the door was knocked down and someone shouted, "NYPD don't move!" He crouched behind one of the rather larger men then he heard his father's voice for the first time in five years.
"Which one of you bastards shot my son?" Jamie inched his hand to the weapon at his hip, ready to pull the trigger on the guy. When no one responded his father knocked over a shelving unit. "Which one of you killed my boy?" One of the older men looked the Commissioner dead in the eye and said,
"He knew what he signed up for Frank."
Jamie pulled the trigger.
