Natasha's POV
"Love is for children," I said this, but that was before I fell in love with Clint, my partner of a good many years. We met on an assassin mission, he was supposed to kill me but he made a different call. We were together ever second of every day from that moment on. I knew that I could trust him with my life. That was until Loki came. Loki came and did something to Clint's mind, making him do terrible things. That's when I realized I loved him, its stupid really love; when you begin to love someone, you lose them, that's all I've ever known. That is why Clint can never know this any of this. Protecting him that's my first priority and it always will be.
At night, I still hear Loki's voice and he fills my nightmares.
"I'll make him kill you slowly intimately in every way he knows you fear, and then I'll free him letting him see what he's done and when he screams in horror, I'll crack his skull." Loki sneered wickedly.
"Clint, please no!" I heard a voice scream, I turned around to see myself in a mirror. I watched in horror as one of Clint's arrows soared through the air and straight through my heart, killing me. My body fell to the floor and I saw Clint approach my body.
"Well done," Loki said coming up behind Clint.
"Thank you sir," he smiled proud of his work. My heart stopped as Loki brought his scepter to Clint's chest. Suddenly Clint's eyes turned bright blue, and the blue flew into the scepter. Clint's face began to soften.
"Look at your work my slave!" Loki yelled.
"I don't work…" He stopped when he saw blood on his hands, my blood. He turned and saw my body. "Tasha!" he yelled his hands running through my hair before taking my body into his arms. "What did you do to her?"
"Nothing you mewling qwim you did that!" Loki yelled as he placed the scepter around Clint's neck and broke it.
"No!" I screamed as the image faded away.
"Black widow," a voice grumbled behind me. I turned and saw Clint, his bow pointed at me.
"Clint, please, no!" I screamed.
