Chapter 3

Clint woke up and found himself still in the tree. All of the bombs and shooting had stopped? What had happened. He couldn't quite remember what happened before he was shot with that poison dart. He sat up and swung down from the branch he was on. He landed on the dry dirt ground in a crouched position. He straightened him self out. Clint heard talking. He quickly whipped out his bow and arrow and had it in the brace position ready to shoot anything that got in his way. Then he turned the corner to find Nick Fury. He lowered his arrow.

"Barton! Where were you?" Nick shouted.

"Uh i was… Up a tree?" Clint replied yet still unsteady on his feet.

"Up a tree?" Nick questioned him.

"Yes.. I was..I was..I…" Clint was stuttering still trying to figure out what had happened.

"I…NATASHA! She was kidnapped! Sir we need to find her quickly!" Clint exclaimed

"You let her go when i told you not to? Mr Barton you have made a fool out of S.H.I.E.L.D!" Nick shouted at him

"Sir i will do anything to get her back. I promise!" Clint pleaded

"Well then Barton. You have to find Natasha. I will send some SWAT members with you. If she doesn't want to come back for some reason or is brain washed… You will have to kill her" Nick said. Clint felt sick at the idea of killing Natasha. She was his love, His soul mate. He would never kill her. But he had his orders to do so.

"….Yes sir" Clint said

A couple of hours had passed by. With Natasha missing it was almost no hope. Then clint found a trail of blood leading to some where. He signalled to the S.W.A.T team to follow him. As they did so Clint got out his bow and arrow again. The trail of blood lead to a cave that had been partly re-built. Clint kicked though a wooden plank blocking the entrance. It was really dark so the S.W.A.T team turned on the night vision lasers. Clint put on his sunglasses. Clint's glasses went just sunglasses, They also detected mass,area,hight and had a night vision mode. They walked down the cave way. Then they spotted a torch, they must be close now thought Clint. He saw movement coming from a corner of the cave. He pulled out his bow and arrow again. The shadow of a person. Clint called out "Natasha? Is that you" There was a silence. The sound of chain rattling came from the corner.

"Hello? Who's there?" a woman's weak voice called out.

"Natasha Romanoff is that you?" Clint asked cautiously.

"Yes thats me" The woman said.

"Natasha?" Clint said. Clint ran over to the dark corner. He turned of his light. It was Natasha. Her wrists and ankles were clamped together with metal cuffs. Her leather outfit was torn all over. It looked like someone had cut though her jumpsuit. Her arms and legs had cuts and slashes all over, She had a bruise on her eye and her hair had been cut short. Clint was terrified of the state she was in. Clint bent down and gave Natasha a hug.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry for letting you go. I should have stayed with you. Im so so sorry Natasha." Clint mumbled

"Wait who are you?" Natasha said pushing Clint away. Clint backed off and stood up.

"No Natasha. No please….please say you remember me" Clint pleaded.

"No I'm sorry..I don't know you" Natasha said. Clint started to tear up. He walked over to the wall opposite Natasha. He put his hands and his head against the wall. Clint was taken by surprise. He cried and hit the wall with frustration. After a while Clint turned around to face Natasha again. He reached for his bow and arrow. He placed it into the braced position. A tear rolled down Natasha's face. He couldn't bare to do this.

"Im sorry Tasha. But i have my orders" Clint said.

"No please..no" Natasha pleaded. Her eyes were full of tears.

Clint let go of the arrow.
