Hello audio monkeys! I finally finished typing this chapter. Sorry it took me so long. Was writing all the other chapters for the other stories I have. I've been working all day, but I had to keep switching stories because I had writer's block. However, I finished this chapter and I will stop talking. Clint and Pietro have a nice talk about family and trust. Enjoy.
I do not own any of the Marvel Characters of Arrow Characters!
Enjoy reading!
Chapter 7: Trust
"How long will you be gone?" Clint looked at the silver headed teenage speedster. He sighed and ran his hand through his short dirty blonde hair.
"I don't know." He whispered. "I have to know how bad the situation is." The speedster nods understanding what he's talking about. However, Clint knew that Pietro was still uncomfortable being alone with his wife, two kids and a baby. Yes, Pietro is still healing from the wounds he sustain in Sokovia, doesn't mean he was ready to be alone with Clint's family. Even when he goes out and works on the barn, he becomes nervous around them. Yet, Clint trusts Pietro and his twin sister. Though, his twin sister is coming with him to the New Avengers facility, Pietro couldn't help, but be worried.
"Will your cousin be okay?" Clint looked at the Pietro in surprised. He never told anyone about his extended relatives. Yes, he told them about his older brother, but never about his cousins. He keeps tabs on them and would discreetly check in on them. Clint sighed at the thought of his cousin and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. I really don't know." The speedster nodded and leaned against the door frame.
"I wish I could go with you." He sighed and nodded.
"I know, but you're still healing from these bullet wounds. If Tasha found out you pulled those stitches, she'll kick both our asses." Pietro shrugged his shoulders.
"True." He mumbled to himself. Clint zipped up his duffle bag and sling it over his shoulder.
"I'll try to be home as soon as I can Piet. I'll keep a close eye on Wanda as well. Don't worry, everything is going to be fine." He clasped his hand on Pietro's shoulder and gave him a comforting smile. Though, Pietro will be worried about Clint's and Wanda's life being in danger, he trusts Clint to keep his word. Clint could feel Pietro's concerns over him and Wanda. "Everything is going to be okay Piet, I promise. After all of this is done, how about I bring back my cousin and she can stay here for as long as she wants. Plus, I need to have a nice long chat with her about being involved with a millionaire, playboy, vigilante, copy cat, Arrow guy about using my cousin as bait for a sociopath and almost getting her killed." Pietro nodded understanding Clint's concern for his cousin. From what Clint has told him, his cousin is the last connection to his entire family. Though, he heard that his aunt is still alive and living in Las Vegas, but still. Pietro knows Clint's older brother Barney is buried in a cemetery in Iowa. He lost his brother a long time ago. So, Clint lost a part of himself. Clint filled that void by having a wife who loves him for who he is, has three beautiful kids and now adopted Sokovian twins. Yeah, Clint couldn't be any happier and he knew Barney would want him to be happy. Even if means Barney wouldn't be a part of it, but Clint knows he's watching him from above. He still feels that presences.
"I have no doubt about that. From the way you talk about her, she's defiantly a trouble magnet." Clint chuckled with a smile and shook his head.
"Yeah, like you are no better." Pietro scuffed a snort and grinned.
"Yeah, yeah." He waved it off and shook his head. "Just make sure she's okay and bring her home." Clint nodded in agreement.
"I will, I'm gonna bring all of us home." He then pulled Pietro into a hug. Pietro tensed at the physical contact, but soon relaxed and hugged Clint back. "We'll be home soon." Pietro nodded against Clint's shoulder and sighed.
"And Tasha too?" Clint chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah, Tasha too."
