Almost Broken
Ivan and Yelena stand in front of a bloody and beaten Clint Barton shackled to a chair. Clint had at least three knife wounds, bruises covering his limbs, face, upper body and every single rib broken. Ivan and Yelena showed no mercy when torturing the famous Hawkeye. " That's all you've got?" Ivan backhanded Clint in the face then said "don't worry birdy, were just getting started." Yelena produced a knife out of her belt and inserts it in Clint's right leg. He let out a groan. Yelena let a smirk show on her face. Then jerks the knife out of his thigh letting the wound bleed freely. Ivan nods at Yelena and says, " Have fun" then walks out of the room.
Yelena circles around Clint trying to decide how to start. She approaches Clint's left side and places her right hand on his bicep. Slowly smoothing her palm over his bicep. It sent shivers up Clint's spine. "Natasha does this to sooth you." Clint refuses to make eye contact with her. She then moves her hand to the back of his neck weaving her fingers through the hair there and rubbing. "This too." "How do you know all this?"
Yelena withdraws her hand and kneels down to make eye contact with Clint. " Eliminating you and Natasha has been my mission for a very long time Hawkeye. Do you remember the missions Costa Rica, Vietnam, and Budapest? I was there watching you guys. I know quite a few things about Strike Team Delta."
Yelena stands back up, blond hair covering her face as she did so. " Even though you call each other best friends, the way she looks at you when your injured and the many times you wrap your arms around her protectively after her nightmares makes me think that you two are so much more than just best friends." Yelena studies Clint for a second before continuing " That makes torturing and killing you in front of her all the more exciting." Clint looks up at Yelena for the first time since Ivan left the room, giving her a glare and snarl. A glint of glee enters her eyes, smiling she says, " The rest of the Avengers will also be there." With that Yelena leaves. When Clint is sure Yelena is not watching him anymore he hangs his head in defeat and mumbles, "I'm sorry Tasha." The puddle of blood on the floor is getting larger steadily. Clint's vision starts to blur and then turns black.
