This story is set in the early 2000's and Clint is about 20-23

Clint's POV

"Hey Clint!" I here my mother call as I begin to get in the car, I was moving out, a secret Agent Facility has sought me out, something like Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Division, it founded after World War Two by a woman named Peggy Carter. I was going to move there for a few months whilst they trained me up, they found me because of my amazing archery skills, they said they could train me up against the most lethal people, I'm a bit of a daredevil so I thought why not?

I turned around to see where my mother was, she was walking out of the doorway and she came over to me in her slippers and her dressing gown, she placed both of her hands on my face and smiled at me. "Good luck baby, I can't believe you need to be trained to become a police officer, I mean, I understand the training part, but for 6 months? Are you sure you're going to be okay?" I smiled back at my mother's worried face, I placed both of my hands on top of her cold ones.

"Of course I will be fine. I love you, mum." I say and I hug her tightly, I'm not going to see her for six months, I just hope I don't change too much. When she pulls away from the hug, she has a tear in her eye and she kisses my cheek.

"I love you too, Clint." With that I give her a kiss on the forehead and then I get in my car. My packed bags already in there and I fastened my seat belt, turned my engine on and waved bye at my mum, I saw her wipe away tears and wave back, then I drove off.

About 50 minutes into my journey, I get stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. It hadn't moved in 10 minutes, I then get a book out that was in the passenger's side and begin to read.

About ten minutes through the book, I hear a woman's voice say, "sieze the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It it the only thing we are interested in here." When I look to my left, there was this beautiful woman who worded the book I was reading, so perfectly.

"You a fan of Leo Tolstoy?" I ask as she then looked over at me smiled at me.

"Of course, that book was what got me into English Literature, I majored in at college, we had to do an assignment on it, I got an A, if it had been any other work, I would have gotten a C, no word of lie." She says smiling at me, I don't think I'd have ever seen a more beautiful woman.

"War and Peace is the only book I read from that era, it is my favourite book, I'd say ever." She smiled back at me and I'm pretty sure that she made my heart skip a beat. "What's your name?" I ask her as I was edging towards the window a little bit more, wanting to know more about this mystery woman.

"My name is Laura, what's yours?" She asks with that angelic voice that she has. I try to cool myself down, I'm getting a little too happy talking to her.

"The name's Clint, Clint Barton, but people call me Hawkeye." I say smiling widely at her, Hawkeye seems to catch her attention, she raises an eyebrow.

"Hawkeye? Why is that?" Now she seems to be the one that's intrigued, I guess it was just my luck to bump into her.

"I am very good at archery." I say with a slight laugh, she laughs slightly too, but it was inaudible.

"I need a person on my farm with a good eye." She says, she has a farm? That is so cool! But what's she doing out in the city if she owns a farm, is it a farm in the city?

"A farm? The what brings you to the city?" I ask, I just want to know everything about her, she seems like the most interesting person I know, she majored in English Literature but only because of one book and she owns a farm.

"Well, I was looking for a place a little different to my farm, but I don't think anything is good enough out here." She says, looking around at the different skyscrapers and the traffic that we're still in.

"I agree with you totally there, Laura. I'd much prefer a farm myself." I say looking out at the city myself, I'm not much for the skyscrapers and noisy traffic.

"Then what brings you out to the city then Mr Barton?" She asks with a playful smile that warms my heart to a point where it could melt, I thinking I'm falling in love with a person I just met.

"I'm here because of a job, they recruited me and I need to do training." I say, trying not to give too much information about what I'm doing. After that me and Laura talked about almost everything when the cars began to move, I tried to stay with her as the cars were picking up speed. "How do I keep in contact?" I shout to her as I kept looking at her and keeping my eyes on the road.

"I live at the Cardellini Farm, it's the only farm for an hour, should be able to find me." She says as she drives and I then couldn't keep up with her. And then just like that, I was alone again. I have to find her.

The next day...

I wake up in a different environment, the agents knocking on my door telling me it's time for training, it was 5am, I was used to sleeping in until the afternoon. I pretty much train all day and then get from 5pm and onward off. As soon as 5pm hit, I raced to my room and got ready, I got Yellow Pages and then searched for her house in the book, I then got it and wrote it down, I got out a map and planned the destination.

It was an hour drive to her house and by the time I got there it was 6:30, I pulled the flowers out of the car and knocked onto her font door, taking in the beautiful sight around me, it was such a beautiful scenery. I then heard footsteps come towards the door and then Laura opened the door, as soon as she saw me, her face lit up.

"You came!" She squealed with joy, she threw her arms around me and I hugged her back. It was a hug that lasted about 10 seconds, but in that ten seconds, I breathed her scent in, she smelled like strawberries. Her brown hair felt soft against my face and I took all of her in, for some reason I didn't let go, but I managed to.

"Did you not think I would come?" I asked with a cheeky smile, she then blushed a little playfully slapped my arm.

"Of course I did, I just thought you would be a bit later, you know, that 3 day rule or whatever the guys call it." She said in annoyance, I'm guessing she's fell for some of those guys, but I'm not one of those guys.

"I'm not one of those guys, I am my own man, you are your own woman. And if you would let me, Laura, I would much appreciate it, if you would join me on a date." I say, I don't think I've ever seen a smile that big before, she then kissed my cheek and grabbed my hand and pulled me inside, I followed. Inside was clean, but empty, only her lived here, I didn't ask because I didn't want her to pry.

"Let me grab my purse and I'll be down in a minute." I hear her shout as her heard her light footsteps run up the stairs, I looked around her house for a bit, but I didn't touch, I didn't want to break anything. I then hear Laura run back down the stairs, once she was down the stairs, I hadn't noticed how beautiful she actually was, she was perfect.

"You look, beautiful." I say in hesitation because it was the biggest truth I had ever said. Once I said it, I saw her go shy and hide behind her hair. I then walk over to her and put her hair behind her ears. "There, that's better." I said and then took her hand into mine, her hand was so small and delicate, if I squeeze it, it feels like it could break. I take her hand carefully and walk her outside.

Once we get to where I was going, I opened the door for her and we were at the fair. I wanted to take her somewhere where we could have fun. "The fair?" I hear her ask and then I smiled brightly.

"Yepp." I say as a simple answer, we walk for a bit then we get to the bumper cars, I pretty much make her go on them, once she was on, it was probably harder to get her off the ride. Once the ride set out I kept bumping into her, but about 30 seconds into it I felt her slam into me, the tables had turned, but once she slammed into me, she made a belly laugh and it was the best sound I had ever heard. After that, I tried to get her back, I succeeded and she let out another laugh whilst letting out mini screams if a total stranger rammed into her. But overall, she was happy and I was happy.

After this I then took her to a game where you have to shoot things to win a teddy, it happened to be an archery game. I didn't even notice it, she was the one who brought me to it. "Clint, now is the time to show of your Hawkeye skills." She said, she remembered my nickname, I couldn't help but fall in love with this beautiful woman next to me. I picked up the bow, I aimed and fired, I missed. I then heard her laugh. "That was great, Hawkeye." I heard her say sarcastically. I then raised my eyebrow up and went very far back, she had a confused look on her.

"I see better from a distance." I say whilst I raised the bow and fired, I knew as soon as I fired it that it would hit right in the center, and it did. The look on Laura's face was priceless, I don't think she believed me when I said I was good at archery. "I told you, Laura." I said laughing. I then picked the teddy that she wanted, it was a bright pink teddy and I had to carry it around. But I didn't care, because I knew it was for her.

The next thing we went on was a Ferris wheel. I coaxed her to go on it, even though she was afraid of heights, but I said she would be safe if she was with me. Once we reached the top of the wheel, the Ferris wheel broke down temporarily, Laura then became scared, I new look on her. So we started talking again, to take her mind off of it, then a question that she asked, surprised me.

"You know when you said you have to go training? How long is it for?" She asked and she looked up at me with eyes that were chocolate brown, she looked perfect.

"It's for 6 months, but most nights I''ll try and see you, I do less hours on Saturdays and I don't do any of Sunday. We can make this work." I said and she looked a little sad. "It's not going to be easy. It's going to be really hard. And we're going to have to work on this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me." When she heard me say that, she looked back up at me and kissed me, her lips were amazing, they tasted of cherry. About 5 seconds into the kiss, the wheel started back up again and we landed on the ground, she couldn't wait to get off of it.

Six months later...

I had finished packing everything up, my clothes and everything, I was ready to go back home to my mum, to sell her that I was moving out for good, I was moving in with Laura in her farm. I hadn't spoken to my mum in 6 months and I was eager to see her, I had so much to tell her. On the way back home, I picked up Laura and I was taking her to meet my mum, I was excited for my two favourite girls to meet.

Once I got back home, I knocked on my mother's house and she answered, she looked exactly the same as she did 6 months ago. I hugged her tightly and I could hear her laugh. "I missed you, mum." I said to her still holding me tightly. When we finally pulled apart she saw Laura standing next to me. "Laura, this is my mum Julie, mum this is my girlfriend, Laura." I say, they introduced each other and gave each other a hug.

"It's about time you got a girlfriend, Clint. I've always wanted to meet someone that you like." She says with joy on her face. I don't think I've ever been happier in my life. I have my mum and my amazing girlfriend.
