Chapter 2 – Fight of All Fights
Time is the enemy of memory as it seems to be for this group of wanna be heroes. As we all know, Lex landed herself in the hospital due to her stubborn butt refusing help when she was first shot. Then due to blood lost, ended up in a coma. Now, as it were, Lucifer and Clint are beyond worried for her. Having not left her side in well over a week. This has everyone worried because the longer she remains in the coma, the less likely she is to revive. This news has them all worried for the boys' sake as well.
It's with this thought in mind, that Tora stands watch over her soon to be brother, her sister, and the thorn in her side. She still doesn't understand why her damn sister insists on calling him her brother when he's the one that took away everything she was. Tora's hand forms into a fist as she drifts back to a time before Lucifer stole everything from her. The simple, quiet life she wanted for all of them was taken the moment he entered the picture. Yeah, you can tell, she really does despise his ass.
She's still so lost in thought that she doesn't notice when the doctor enters the room. She does notice the moment he begins to look Lex over though. She watches with interested eyes as he checks everything while talking to the idiots. They are both responsible for what happened over a week ago.
Lucifer when he walked into their lives and Clint, when he got her ass shot. She just sighs, listening to what the doc is telling them. "Are you two every going to leave my ward? NO? Didn't think so," he replies, answering his own questions. Knowing full well that neither of the guys will actually answer. As they haven't spoken or moved in all that time. The doctor just sighs and mumbles, "I'll going to be happy when she wakes up soon cause then it'll mean you two will leave my damn ward," as he walks out the door. Tora just laughs, then realizing what he just said chases after the doctor.
"Does that mean she's out of the woods now? She's going to wake up?" she questions when she catches up. "Yes, she should wake anytime now," the doctor answers. Tora all but runs back to the room. Looking at her sister, forgetting all about the other two, cries, "You better wake soon, sis." She then pulls out her phone, calling Fury to let him know the good news.
It's then that she remembers the guys and looks at them. They show no sign of having heard her, so she thinks it's safe to leave them alone for a few, while she gets some food. Yeah, that ends up being the second biggest mistake she will ever make.
When Tora leaves the room, the realization starts to hit the two men left sitting at the bedside. Slowly, life starts to seep back into their bodies as it fully hits them that Lex is going to be ok. The black cloud that has surrounded them starts to lift. The person that means the world to them, both for very different reasons, is going to be ok. Lucifer cracks a smile, it hurting his mouth a little because of not showing any emotion for over a week. "I'm so glad your going to be ok, sis," Lucifer says, smiling even more. The next thing Lucifer hears though, wipes the smile right off his face. It reminds him, he has someone he needs to kill.
Clint is the second to react and he can't seem to be able to feel just one emotion. Happiness and joy are there cause he is so glad that she is going to be ok. Anger is also present cause he is still mad at her for not listening to him. He's also angry with himself for not following his gut and getting her to a hospital faster or even for just letting her get hurt, period. Then there is also fear and apprehension, he knows that it is quite possible he is going to die now that Lex is out of the woods. The only question is, when will Lucifer kill him? "I'm so glad your going to be ok. I love you, Alexia." Clint says with clear relief in his voice.
Lucifer glares over at Clint "You love her?" he says, venom starting to fill his voice. Clint looks over at him with a sneer, "Yes, I love her. I love her with all my heart." Lucifer scoffs at this, his anger that's been overwhelmed by worry starts to rise. "If you love her then why is she here?" Lucifer spits back at him. "I tried to get her to come to the hospital right after she was hurt, but she refused and said she was fine." Clint fires back in his defense. "If you had been doing your job in the first place, she wouldn't have gotten hurt." Lucifer says as he starts to stand. Feeling his anger starting to reach their limits, his body starting to shake as his powers start to come to the forefront.
Clint slowly reaches down and grabs his bow from beside his chair where he left it. As his hands wrap around it, he is glad that no one moved it cause from the look of things, he gonna need it. Damn, he could almost feel the power rolling off of Lucifer. That and the malevolent intent that was clear in the man's eyes. "Oh and you know so much about protecting? Last I checked, you only knew how to kill and take people away from those that care about them." Clint said this. The moment those words left his mouth, he regretted it cause he probably just flushed away any chance he had at making it out of here alive.
At hearing those words leaving Clint's mouth, Lucifer's anger explodes and he moves. He raises his hand up and tries to condense the light into solid form that way he could grab Clint. Clint dodges to his right, out of the way before he could. As Clint lands on his feet, he pulls out a arrow and fires it at Lucifer. As the arrow is fired, Lucifer uses his powers to make his shadow stretch up into the path of the arrow while connecting his shadow to the shadow in the corner behind Clint.
When the arrow flies through his shadow, it travels through the shadow to the shadow in the corner behind Clint where it exits flying straight at Clint's back. Right before the arrow strikes his back, Clint twirls out of the way firing another arrow. Only this time, it's a explosive arrow. 'If he tries pulling that shadow trick again, I can make it explode right before it enters'. He smirks as it looks like Lucifer is going to do just that.
Seeing Clint fire another arrow, Lucifer smirks at the stupidity of the man, starting to move his shadow again but then he notices the shape of the arrow. 'That damn fool' Lucifer thinks as he changes his tactic. Instead of using his shadow, he condenses the light in front of him lighting up the room a little more as it makes a solid wall. When the arrow hits the wall it explodes and as the smoke clears Lucifer lowers the wall and starts to chuckle. "Stupid birdboy, did you really think that was going to work?" Clint smirks and responds, "It was worth a shot."
"If you say so," Lucifer says as he calls upon his powers again and fires 3 spears of light at Clint. Clint sees the spears and doges around them, ducking the first on, twirling around the second and jumping to avoid the last one. As he lands, he realizes that he did exactly what Lucifer wants as he lands on a circle of light that then slides up around his ankle. Tossing him into the wall across the room, knocking the air out of him. As Clint gasps for breath, Lucifer moves his hands through the air gathering more light that he then solidifies and launches at Clint in a blast.
Clint regains his breath enough to be able to barely get out of the way before the light strikes the wall and takes it down. 'I'm glad fury put Lex in a ward by herself, otherwise this would be even harder' Clint thinks as he still struggles with his breathing. Clint stands up quickly as Lucifer continues to launch spears of light at him which forces him to not stop dodging. Clint also tries to keep a eye out for anymore traps the man may have set. A idea forms in Clint's mind though and hopes in his anger, Lucifer will fall for a little trick. Clint fires another explosive arrow and Lucifer puts up another wall to block it. Right after the arrow explodes though, Clint fires another arrow hoping to catch Lucifer unaware.
Lucifer sees the explosive arrow and raises a wall of light. 'Same old tricks does this idiot ever learn?' Lucifer thinks as it hits the wall and explodes. Lucifer chuckles and lowers the wall to continue his assault but just as he is about to launch more light spears at Clint, he sees another arrow he missed and its to late to put up a wall or pull his shadow in front of it. So left with his last choice, he tries to dodge the arrow that is inches away from his face. So he moves his head to the right and back. Unfortunately though, he unable to move fast enough and the arrow grazes his cheek. Going up by his eye, he feels the arrow slice through the skin there.
Lucifer cries out slightly, putting his left hand over the wound as he feels blood start to seep down his face and into his eye as well. "You son of a BITCH, your gonna pay for that," Lucifer says as he brings up his right hand concentrating the light. Reflecting it in a way that super heats as he runs it over the wound, cauterizing it to stop the blood flow. "That really hurt. I was already going to kill you but now, you need to suffer." Lucifer says, glaring with the intent of death and pain clear in his eyes. Clint shivers as he sees that look and as Lucifer starts attacking him again, he just hopes he can give the bastard a few more marks before he dies.
Now, while Tora is getting food and Lucifer and Clint are starting World War 3, Fury is calling in everyone else. He has some good and bad news to tell them. So, the moment they all get there, Fury informs everyone what's going on. "So, it has been brought to my attention that Alexia is out of the woods. She should be waking anytime now. Though, I should warn you all. You will be walking into a war zone should any of you choose to visit," comes the calm response of Nick Fury.
Tasha just sighs, shaking her head. "I want no part of that stupidity," she states, heading out the door. Nick just laughs and looks at the rest of them. "You have been warned. You can leave now," he states as a dismissal. Tony, dragging Steve with him, make their way to visit Lex. First, he is concerned for Lex but more importantly, he wants to meet that mysterious person. He knows Steve does too.
Over the last week and a half they had both tried talking to him again but with no results. He would just sit there no matter what they said. Tony had even tried pissing him off but the dude was like a statue. This man was such a mystery and he hated mysteries. No one was helping either, even Jas wouldn't tell him anything, it was so frustrating. Steve on the other hand was worried for other reasons as well cause he still had yet to work out what was going on in his head. He didn't even know this man's name and yet, he filled his thoughts everyday. Steve couldn't explain the draw he felt toward this stranger and it kinda scared him.
Though, the moment the get to Lex' ward, what they see has them completely at a loss for words. Clint and the mysterious person are seriously going at it, actually trying to kill each other. Steve and Tony move over to Lex' bedside. Both placing a hand on her arm while being memorized by the covert agent that is tossing Clint around like a damn rag doll. "Shouldn't we try and stop them?" Steve questions until he hears a quiet voice. "Don't bother. It'll be no use as they won't listen to reason right now," Lex' says softly.
Both, Steve and Tony look at her. "Hey, you're awake. Don't you ever do that to me again," Tony replies gently. "Sorry, Tony," Lex whispers with a small smile on her face. Tony just smiles as they all watch the fight before them. It's not until Lex sees Lucifer grab Clint by the ankle lifting him into the air while simultaneously breaking his bow. "Crap," Lex mumbles, shouting moments later. "LUCI! STOP!"
Lucifer's murderous scowl insistently becomes happy as he hides a hand behind his back. "Oh, hi, sis," comes the happy reply. "Put him down," Lex states. Lucifer just gets a mischievous look into his eyes, replying, "Don't know what you're talking about." "Oh, cut the crap, Lucifer," she hisses as she narrows her eyes at him. "Gently, big brother," she adds when she sees a twinkle in his eyes. "Oh, you're no fun," he pouts as he slowly lowers Clint before dropping him on his ass once he hits a certain point.
Lex just sighs as she smiles at him. This is just his way of looking out for her. Clint did swear to protect her but Lucifer seems to forget that she's not a damn damsel. Though, she may have been a bit stupid this time around. Before her thoughts don't go much farther as Tony and Steve draw her attention back to them. "Big brother?" they say in unison.
SOO? What did you all think? Clint really is stupid ain't he? Why would he think pissing off Lucifer would ever be a good idea. A lot more shits coming our way too. A new character will be introduced soonish. SO please read and review. LOVE YOU ALL.
