This is my first fanfic on this website I have this story on Quotev that is farther along if you'd like to readmore. Thanks for reading hope you like it and please make my day by reviewing!
" Daddy" Lillian or Lily shrieked.
Ow! I'm always underestimating the range of an 9 year olds voices. I plugged my ears till my younger sister's shriek died down. She talked rapidly through the phone, Uncle Tony had given me for my 13th Birthday. She bounced up and down excitedly in my bed making the springs squeak.
" Lily put Dad on speaker." I said trying to be patient with her.
" How are my girls?" Dad's voice filled my bedroom as Lily hit the speaker button.
" Good" We both chorused.
" How is Paris?" I asked.
" Beautiful, the Eiffel Tower is huge and the food is incredible. The only bad things is the traffic and that I'm here for work." He chuckled
My smile was more strained than Lily's, who was giving him a full update on everyone in the tower.
Everything probably seems normal to you. Two girls talking to their Dad who is overseas in business and is staying with family. I wish it was that simple sometimes. My name is Ava Barton and my Dad is Clint Barton famously known as Hawkeye. My sister, Lily and I live in the Avengers Tower with all the other Avengers. Though we and I aren't related to them by blood Lily and I still call them our Aunts and Uncles. The only person who didn't live in the Tower is Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, who happens to be our Mom. She and Dad had been married for 4 years ( yes they had me before they actually got married) a and Lily had just turned 2 months old. Life was good Uncle Tony and Aunt Pepper had finally convinced them to move out of the apartment Dad and Romanoff shared the year before. Yes they still had to go save the world, but it went faster now that Romanoff had returned from maternity leave ( Dad had only managed to convince her to take a month after Lily's birth off), but then Romanoff left us when I was 6. She left my Dad to leave my Dad to take care of me and their 2 month old daughter with no warning or word, who does that! Well I guess she does. After Romanoff left us, my Aunts and Uncles stepped in to help take care of Lily and I when he had to go on missions. You may have noticed that I don't call Romanoff Mom. I want to make one thing clear just because she gave birth to me and my sister, doesn't mean she's my Mother. She wasn't there for us when we cried and laughed. No! She left her family and friends. How could she do that?
" Your coming home tomorrow, Daddy" I heard Lily say happily though I detected a note if anxiousness in her voice.
I heard a slight pause from Dad's end of the phone.A sense of dread and anger washed over me. I knew what was coming next.
" You aren't coming back home tomorrow are you?" I sighed.
" I'm sorry girls, but Agent Morse and I found a new lead. So I'm going to be here for a couple days more." He apologized.
" You promised though" Lily whimpered slightly.
Though we tried not to talk about the dangers of Dad's work as a spy and assassin for S.H.I.E.L.D, more for Lily's sake, even Lily knew the downsides of his work and danger of his work.
" I know I pro-"
" Don't make promises if you can't keep them" I snapped feeling guilty the instant they came out of my mouth.
An awkward heavy silence laid in the room.
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap Dad. Just be safe." I signed.
" I always try. I have to go. Sleep good, girls."
" Bye" I mumbled.
I gently pried the phone away from Lily, who had a strong grip on it. I hung up the call. Setting the phone on my nightstand I hugged Lily trying to comfort her.
" Why does he never come home on time?" Lily whispered.
I could see tears forming in her grey eyes.
" I'm not sure, Lil" I admitted. " do you want to sleep in my room tonight with me?"
Lily but her lower lip and nodded. Not bothering to change into our pjs or brush our teeth we curled up on my bed.
" I luv you, Ava" Lily murmured.
" I love you too, Lillian Barton." I smiled.
