Review Please people.

Clint 'Hawkeye' Barton sighs softly as he follows his teammate Steve Rogers into the meeting room, the two of them being called up to work together on this mission. It had been two months since the battle of New York and things were only just returning to normal. Clint had finally gotten a full nights sleep without the nightmares of what Loki did to him interrupting it and causing him to wake up screaming and covered in a layer of sweat.

As the door closes behind Clint his eyes flicker around the room, observing, cataloging. His eyes register his boss Agent Fury and Agent Hill, the two of them seated on the opposite side of the circular computerized table, also two agents stood in the corners, hands resting over their guns situated in the holsters on their legs. With a quick glance behind him, he sees the exact same in the two corners near the door.

He shrugs and walks over to the table folding himself into the seat next to Steve, his legs stretching out underneath the table as he levels his gaze on his two superiors.

"So I know you guys have had some well deserved time off, but it's back to business" Fury starts "If you guys want it"

Clint glances to Steve to see the man doing the same, they share a look before turning to look at Fury and nod. It seemed weird for Clint to be working with the super soldier, even after the spectacle that happened two months ago. It seemed even weirder that he took the super soldiers orders without eve blanching, going on top of a building to watch the teams back without argument.

Fury nods before tossing over two dossiers to the men sitting opposite him, they catch them and begin to open the brown folder

"This is your target, she is to come in alive" Fury states and Clint hears the command in his voice

Injure but not Kill

Clint hisses a breath through his teeth as his eyes land on the picture of their target. The face being one that he would recognize anywhere, the one he hadn't seen in twelve months since things went downhill. The face of his Ex-Fiancee.

Jamie Louise Snow.

He'd met Jamie in a small cafe in Washington, she had been cursing up a storm in her English accent, the people around her not understanding a single word. Clint did and he found himself laughing slightly before going over to see what was wrong. She'd only just moved here and didn't understand the currency. He took pity and paid for her coffee as well as his own, she smiled a big beam at him, thanked him and left.

He went to the cafe the next day to see her there again, a pair of jeans hugging all of her curves and a top showing off the Phoenix tattoo that covered her whole back and her long black hair tied up in a ponytail, the ends brushing her collarbone. He was the next one in line behind her and chuckled again as she messed up the currency, she turned and scowled at him. He ended up paying for her coffee again.

That time though they actually sat and talked and he learned a little about her. Over the next few weeks whenever Clint was free he would go to the cafe in the morning and meet her, if she got there first she'd order the coffee, now understanding the currency thanks to Clint's teaching, or if he got there he'd order for them.

Slowly but surely they became friends before drifting into something else. They got together in the most cliche of ways, they went out one night, got roaring drunk and then fell into bed together. From that day on they were together. It wasn't the easiest of relationships, they argued more then they talked, they fucked more times then making love, both had severe anger issues and both were keeping secrets. There was only so many times Clint could use to excuse of having to go on a business trip when he came home with a new injury.

He proposed to her out of jealousy, he'd come home from a mission early and headed out to a bar with Natasha and saw her there dancing with one of the friends she'd made, Lisa. But that wasn't what had made him jealous, it was the man that had grabbed her hips and began dancing with her that had. She didn't push the man away and instead carried on dancing with him. Clint had stormed over there, grabbed Jamie by the hand and pulled her away but not before punching the guy in the face knocking him on his ass.

Jamie had laughed all the way back to Clint's apartment, he thought she'd lost her mind until she told him she saw him enter with Natasha and had gotten jealous so decided to make him jealous in return. He'd shouted at her, she shouted back at him until he dropped those two words 'Marry Me'. She'd looked at him as though he was crazy but nodded, he nodded back before grabbing her roughly planting his lips on hers.

So the two of them began the next step of their crazy relationship, Jamie moved into his apartment and he carried on lying to her about his 'business trips'. He learned it was harder when she lived with him and saw the state of him as he came home, which led to more arguments, some of them even resulting in her hitting him. They always made up after the arguments, the two of them taking out their anger in other ways leaving each other bruised in a good way. But one day they didn't fix things.

The argument got so bad that Clint left to calm down, the screams from Jamie echoing behind the closed door as he headed out onto the streets for a walk. He wandered for over an hour before returning to apologize but when he got there she was gone, no trace of her belongings anywhere in the apartment, it was almost as though she'd never lived there. The only thing telling him she was real, was the black eye forming on his face and her engagement ring sitting on the cold table next to the front door.

He'd tried to look for her to apologize but she'd disconnected her cell and didn't use any of the credit cards he knew she had. It was almost like she was a ghost. In their fucked up four year relationship she did mean alot to him, he could say he loved her but neither of them spoke them words. But no she defiantly meant something to him, he liked the idea of returning home to her after a mission, even if he couldn;t tell her her about it and had to come up with some bogus lie about what happened on his supposed business trip. So he left it, instead went on a new mission and forgot about her the best he could. Until now.

"What are we bringing her in for" Steve asks bringing Clint out of his thoughts

Clint looks over to see that Steve had just finished reading the file which couldn't have been that informative due to the look on the Super soldiers face. Clint returns his gaze to Fury hoping the man hadn't noticed that Clint had been lost in his thoughts instead of reading the file in front of him.

"Jamie Snow, otherwise known as Phoenix is an asset we would like to acquire" Fury starts "She is originally from England and has one hell of a colorful past"

"Phoenix" Steve asks before Clint can

"Miss Snow has the ability to manipulate fire in any shape or form. She can light a fire with her mind, boil people from the inside using their own oxygen supply as it's starter, basically anything to do with fire she can do it"

"So why do you want her alive?" Steve asks confused

"Miss Snow was kidnapped at two months old by a English based corporation known as SRT. We don't know much about what happened whilst she grew up there as she hit our radars for the first time when she was Sixteen" Agent Hill states instead of Fury, her brown eyes focusing on the two agents sat opposite her "Going out on what we can assume is Miss Snow's first mission, she infiltrated a KGB holding cell killing thirteen KGB agents and walked out without a mark on her"

"Wow" Clint breathes

"From then on she went on mission after mission, killing, capturing, anything she was assigned to do and she did it without a care. It was only when she was twenty-one that she used her ability for the first time, earning her the name Phoenix" Fury states taking over the explanation. "She left the employ of the SRT and became a sort of mercenary for hire, hitting our radar after every mission"

"So why don't you want her dead?" Steve asks still confused "If she's killed all these people why do you want us to bring her in"

"Phoenix has worked for more corporations than i can name on both hands, she knows who runs each of them, knows where they are based and knows how much of a threat they are. We want that information" Hill explains, hoping to help Steve understand

"Five years ago she dropped off the radar after she landed in the united states, no matter how hard we tried we couldn't find her. Some believe she went into a form of retirement and left her past behind her. We tried to track her but left her to it, she wasn't killing or capturing so she was no threat to us.

"What happened then?" Clint asks, his throat clogged as her hears Jamie's story

"She hit our radars again less then a year ago, she infiltrated one of our sleeper units in Chicago, wiping it from the map as though it was a speck of dust, in doing so she walked away with a lot of our classified files"

"What happened to those files"

"We don't know, from what we can tell she hasn't handed them to the people she was suppose to because there is now a bounty on her head" Hill sighs "Your mission is to bring her in, with the files if possible but also find out who wants her dead"

"So we have to find her, stop her from getting killed all whilst trying to bring her in to SHIELD?" Steve states counting off the mission highlights on his fingers.

"Yes basically" Fury nods "But she won't come in easily, we've sent plenty of Agents after her over the years and some have never been able to return to work after"

Clint gulps as he gets the meaning behind Fury's words. Jamie didn't just retire the agents, she buried them. And now in some messed up twist of fate he was to be one of the new agents sent out to bring his ex-fiancee in to SHIELD.

"Why us" Clint asks gesturing between him and Steve "Why do you think we can bring her in when no one else could?"

"Because you are some of the best we have" Fury states calmly, no wavering in his tone.

Clint knew he was mentioning The Avengers, and in a way he could see Fury's reasoning, if they could bring down Aliens trying to take over the plane then one small girl with fire powers shouldn't be too hard. In theory.

"She was last located in New York, the two of you are to head out in three hours and try to find her" Hill states standing up and throws two more files at Clint and Steve "Anything else you need to know is in this file"

"Just make sure she comes in alive, injure not kill" Fury states

Clint and Steve nod standing up knowing they were now excused, they grab the files on the way and head out quietly heading to their rooms, neither of them talking as they head to the sleeping areas to grab their things.

"You good Hawk?" Steve asks stopping outside his room "You seem put off"

"I'm good" Clint nods "Just wondering how were supposed to stop her when no one else could"

"I guess we'll figure that out when it comes to it" Steve replies shrugging "See you on the jet"

"Yeah" Clint nods absentmindedly as he walks to his room pushing open the door.

Once the door closes behind him he runs a stressed hand through his short brown hair and down his face, his heart beating fast as he tries to comprehend the story he's just been told with the person he knew and dated, and fucked. He just couldn't see how Jamie could be the person they wanted, yet it was all there in the files still clutched in his hands.

He walks over to the desk situated in the corner of his room and sits down placing the two files in front of him, he opens the second one and begins to read. Each word hitting him like a ton of bricks as he thinks back to all those arguments they had, the times she had hit him, her punches feeling like a breath of air, no effort in them at all, the only punch that actually injured him was the last one she gave him before she walked out of his life. Yet it stated in this file, in black and white, that she had managed to punch a guy so hard she broke his neck from the force.

Clint shakes his head skipping over the more gruesome details of what Jamie has done and instead to a rundown of what her current activities are. Apparently she was living in a small suburb in New York, no friends or acquaintances they could contact or ask about her and she also worked at a small cafe just a few blocks away from what used to be Stark Towers but was currently undergoing a makeover to become Avengers Tower.

With just under an hour left before getting on the jet Clint sighs standing from the small chair, he stretches popping his back and walks over to his wardrobe and grabs his bag and begins throwing in clothes as well as his suit, he knows most of the mission will have them in Civilian clothing but he had to be prepared for the worst. Once his bag was packed he made sure to grab his bow and quiver of arrows as well as the two files before walking out the door and down to the jet.

Time to bring in his Ex-Fiancee.
