Hello audio monkeys. I know in some reviews that they want to have the chapters longer and I am trying to have them longer, but I made them like this for a reason. It gives it more of a suspense and cliffhangers as well and I love doing that. It brings in more attention to the story and the ideal characters in the story.

However, there are some chapters shorter then the others so I went back to most of the chapters and wrote some more details, but they still come up short and I try to make them longer, but I'm slowly losing the ability to write longer chapters. I don't know why, but I just keep coming up short on the chapters that I want to write longer. I'm sorry that the chapters aren't longer for you guys, but I am trying to write them longer. There are days where I can write longer chapters and then there are days where I have writer's block and I need to take a break.

I'm sorry guys, I am trying harder for the new year, but if the chapters aren't longer, then that means that there is nothing more I can do for that chapter.

Sorry for the long AN, but I felt like I need to explain for myself and my lack of writing.

Enjoy chapter 4 audio monkeys.

Chapter 4: A Family Member in Trouble

Clint Barton wiped his sweaty face with the back of his hand and sighed. Life on the farm was good for him. Working on the house, getting to see his wife and children every day, he was living a life he always wanted. Being at home. When he retired from being an Avenger, he felt the weight off of his shoulders. Thought, often times he looks over his shoulder to see if anyone follows him or not. His paranoia gets the better of him. Clint sometimes has to force himself to relax. The address of his farm was not on SHIELD records and Fury made sure of that. No one knows expect Fury. So he was safe. Clint and his family are safe. However, he still wished his two cousins would give up the working of the vigilante's life. However, he couldn't reach them. His phone rang that interrupted his train of thought and sighed. He took our his cellphone from his pocket of his pants. He looked at the caller ID to see who it is, but the number was blocked. His eyebrows knitted together in confusion, but answered the call anyway.

"Who are you and why is your number blocked?"

"Hello Clint." He froze knowing the woman's voice on the other end of the line.

"What do you want Nyssa?" Clint growled out and gripped the phone.

"Felicity is in danger."

"What happened? Is Licity alright? Is she hurt?" He rapidly asked Nyssa. "What happened Nyssa?" He growled through the phone.

"Felicity's powers were triggered." Clint's entire world crumpled into pieces. His cousin's powers were triggered, but how? Clint let out a shaky breath and ran his hand down his face.

"How?" His voice sounded nervous and full of worry.

"We don't know what happened. The charm could have worn off or she was able to cast it off without her knowledge. She doesn't know how she did it either and she's frightened for herself and others." He let out a sigh and ran his hand through his short dirty blonde hair.

"Does anyone know about her powers?"

"Just me and two of her closest friends. The others don't know about it. Clint, she's not safe here. Not when ARGUS is sniffing around." He tightly gripped his phone and gritted his teeth together. If ARGUS finds out about Felicity's powers, they'll take her away and God knows what they would do to her. No. Clint will not lose anymore of his family or what's left of it. He's tired of losing the people he loves. It's time to take action.

"When are you leaving?" He spoke calmly, but with a stern voice as well.

"Tonight." Nyssa said.

"Who's coming with her?"

"Roy Harper. Felicity trusts him. Thea is gonna stay behind and distract Team Arrow for a little while then meet up with us later." He sighed and started pacing in the front yard of the house.

"You going to the facility?"

"We'll be there before dawn. Clint, I don't think she'll be able to come back to Starling City."

"Like hell I'm letting her come back to that God awful town!" He growled into the phone.

"The league is cleaning out her apartment as we speak. It will be like she never lived there." Clint nodded.

"Good, she deserves to live somewhere safe."

"I know Clint." Nyssa whispered. "I have to go, the rest of the team is coming."

"Get Felicity out of there Nyssa. Don't let that Green Arrow bastard pull her in."

"I won't Clint. You have my word." With that, Nyssa hung up on Clint and he stopped pacing. He put his phone back in his pocket and sighed. His nerves was getting the better of him. He knows he can trust Nyssa to keep Felicity safe, but he was also worried about his other cousin. Clint knows he needs to call him and tell him about the situation, but if he does, Clint would put him in danger. His cousin also lives a dangerous life just like him, but family is more important. Before he could make another call, Clint feels another presence behind him. He sighs and glanced towards the big tree that's large enough to hide a person.

"How long have you been listening?"
