Authors note- Next chapter up! I am going to be writing a TMNT fanfic so I might not update as soon as I usually would on this story, but don't worry I will still be updating. So on that note go and check out that story if you are a fan of that! I do not own the Avengers, Hawkeye, or anything Marvel.


Clint woke up the next day and made his way to the briefing room. He saw Natasha and Steve looking over some files."What are those?"

"Good to see you are up Clint. This is all the information we can get on Casatlia." Natasha replied while nodding to his on the table. Clint looked it over and knew for fact most of it was fake. Cas knew exactly what to track for when looking for someone so when someone was hunting for her she knew what to cover up. Clint went to his nest and grabbed his bow, he had to get to her before the rest of SHIELD did. He knew that agents lives were on the line if they decided to corner her and fight. This situation required talking first and fighting later. He took one of SHIELD's cars and drove to where he thought he might find her. She had always told him the woods was where she felt most at home, so might as well check there first. He drove for about a day and a half to where she and Thor found Enchantress. He took in the surroundings and found a fresh print.

"Like you always say Cas, let the hunt begin." He started following the small trail and found she took great care into trying to cover it up. " Ha, who would have known you taught me to well." He easily followed her trail to a small campsite. He stood there for a moment taking in all of the information the site told. It said she was alone, that means she dumped her bad influences and it would be easier to reason with her. Clint was busy concentrating until he felt the sharp point of a arrow head on the back of his neck.

"Are you alone?" Cas asked him as he slowly turned around to face her. She now pointed the arrow at his heart. He calmly put his hand on the shaft and lowered it before speaking.

"Yeah, you know even though you knocked me out for almost two days there is no reason for violence." She put the arrow back in the quiver, but still had her body tense.

"I am sorry I did not mean to hurt you."

"Yeah im sure you did." He laughed. He could see she was starting to loosen up, but it didn't changed the fact she could still kill him if she really wanted to. "They're looking for you do you know that? Fury wants your head on a platter."

"I know. I am willing to take full responsibility for my actions. I here by surrender myself to SHEILD custody." She held her hands out in front of Clint and he just looked at her. He could'nt help but feel sorry for her and he didn't want her to go to jail. He grabbed her hands and pulled her close to his body. She just stood there as he pulled one of her hands to his face and he leaned into it. The next moment he found himself kissing her lips and asking for permission in. She surprisingly let him deepen the kiss and he found himself just holding on to her. Moments turned into hours as he made love to her in the woods. It was the next morning when he saw her small form laying next to his that he really felt complete.


I awoke the next day on the ground in the woods. I didn't remember what quite happened until I felt Clint's steady heartbeat and strong arms around me. The memories from last night flooded my brain and I first felt a loving feeling when I realized I loved Clint and I gave him a part of me. The second more noticeable reaction went a little more like this.

"OH MY GODS I JUST SLEPT WITH YOU!" Clint shot up awake with my screaming and he started asking what was wrong. "IN THE WOODS TO TOP IT ALL OFF!"

"Cas calm down what's the matter?" He started pleading with me. I hurried up and ran out of the makeshift bed we created last night into the waterfall I used as a shower when I usually went camping. I tried so hard to wipe away the memories and saw that Clint had left marks that I could'nt wipe away. I felt his arms wrap around my waist as I turned around.

"Clint go put some clothes on!" I yelled at him. He just started to laugh and pulled me closer.

"You were'nt complaining last night about clothes, and what was with the funky chicken dance all the way here earlier."

"What's on my neck?" Was all I managed to choke out as he put his face in my neck.

"It's called a hickey. Sorry about that it's going to be there a while." I just could'nt believe what I did. I am going to be turned into a deer, a deer with a hickey. I tried my best to shower with Clint leeched to my side. Once done I practically flew to my camp to try to camouflage myself from Artemis as long as I could. I was grabbing all my stuff when Clint stopped me.

"What are you doing?"

"Clint I do not regret anything we did. I want you to know that when I am with you I feel complete and happy. I want to be with you, but Artemis will find me in a matter of days now maybe hours. I am going to Athena's temple you are welcomed to come, but when Artemis does find us she is going to be royally pissed off and will want to vent her anger on everyone and anything." I replied quickly before starting on the trail. He just looked to me and followed. The hike up there did not take, but a hour and I was as jumpy as a rabbit on crack.

"What will happen to you?" Clint asked eyes looking sad as he sat on the marble steps. I really did not want him to think this was his fault so I lied.

"Nothing, I just wont be a hunter anymore maybe." I apparently only made it worse as he came and put his arms around me. I could hear the nervousness in his heart. I just put a kiss to his lips as I started to hear a familiar sound of falling footsteps signaling the goddess was near. I saw the silver hunting dog then a woman appeared from behind a tree. She had silver hair and eyes, a silver hood and simple clothes with hunting boots. She looked about my age and had a glowing silver bow. "Hello miss Artemis." I put my right arm across my chest as a sign of respect. She gave me a cold stare but replied sweetly.

"Hello sister Castalia, it has been a long time."

"It has."

" I am glad to see you still have faith in the gods."

"I would never turn my back to them they are like family."

"Of course. Do you know why I am here."

"Yes, I broke my vow and I am ready to take my punishment."

"You have. You have been my friend for years and are my best student. Your skills and heroic attributes have made you a favourite among the gods. I have decided given the unique situation your punishment will be different. You will get to stay a hunter and keep your rank by my side, but you will have to be branded with marks so that all know what you did forever and always. You will also have to stay with this man forever and once he is gone you cannot go and find you a new lover. Do you understand?"

"Yes I understand." She then turned to Clint and got deadly serious.

"If I found you used my hunter and do not truly love her I will hunt you down and skin you alive then when your soul goes to the great beyond I will send a beast to hunt you for all eternity got that?" Clint just gulped and nodded. Artemis grabbed my hand and led me off to the woods. I told Clint to wait there. She took me to where Clint would'nt heat my screams as she branded a design into my skin that showed I was a traitor to the hunters. It was like a snake that wrapped around my waist and arms, down my legs and up my neck. It had ancient Greek writing right in the middle of my chest that told my story. Right when I thought I could'nt take the smell of my flesh burning anymore the pain stopped and I saw the new black mark. Artemis bid me a goodbye before vanishing into the woods. I walked quietly back to Clint as he ran up to me and embraced me.

"I am so sorry I did this to you Cas, if I would have known I would have stayed away." I felt the coolness of his tears on my angry skin. I just let him have his moment before speaking.

"No don't be sorry. I should be thanking you, I have never been so happy in my life as I am now." I kissed him as he straitened himself out.

"So what do we do about SHIELD?"

"I got a idea."
