7. Fighting for Control

Disclaimer: I have no money. Coulson died in the movie. I don't have Jeremy Renner locked in my closet. Therefore, I don't own the Avengers. I think I'm going to cry now.

7. Foster the People- Houdini

Clint thought back to the time when Loki controlled his mind. He recalled his futile attempts to fight back, but no matter how hard he tried, his S.H.E.I.L.D. training was no match for magic and he felt as if his mind was trying to keep him prisoner. Sometimes, when he sees the news or looks at one of the other Avengers, he wishes he could disappear. He hurt so many people when he was under Loki's control and it scared him.

Whenever he voiced his thoughts to the Avengers, they all would protest. "You didn't have control." they all said. "It wasn't your fault. You shouldn't think like that."

"I could have fought harder." Clint said. "I should have fought harder."
