Family History

Today I don't know I guess I felt strange like this day should be important as if I should remember it. I didn't know why it's not the anniversary of when the circus adopted me or when Clint took me in or when Vlad and I became partners. It started to drive me crazy so I hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D. security and looked at my background. I thought it would look suspicious if I typed in my own name so instead I typed in Clint. I couldn't really find that much in my background, what I didn't know is that when you type in your name it alerts you to see if it's really you logging in.

"What are you doing?" Clint asked.

I couldn't think but I had to answer him quickly, "Well…I…um…I uh." real smooth, I thought.

"Beau are you looking in my background?"

"Well more like mine, I just, I want to know who my parents are."

"Why?"

"Well I know they haven't done much for me like you have but this day always bugs me and I don't know why."

He looked confused like he didn't believe me but who would, "Alright today isn't…"

"The day the circus got me, when you took me in, or when I got a partner."

"Okay what would that leave?"

"A birthday?"

"Not your dad's." Clint then looked mad that he said that.

"So you do know my dad?"

"Yeah I knew him he was my big brother, Barney, look I don't want to go into detail all I can say I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Do you know my mom though?" I asked shakily.

He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know who your mother was."

"Wait in hospitals don't all make a birth certificate with both parents names."

"Yeah but which hospital do you know to check?"

"I'll just have to check all of the hospitals in Carson City, Nevada and then type in the year and name Barton." we found nothing so I spread the search to all of Nevada and found one in Las Vegas, "It says father Barney Barton and mother Valerie Cook."

"Thought you said the circus adopted you in Carson City?" Clint asked.

"They did I guess my dad put me in the foster home in Carson City." I explained.

"At least it gives us a start on your mom."

"Yeah it does." I type in Valerie Cook. All kinds of clips about when she was kid she was in a car accident, on the honor roll. When she got older she was a show girl in a Vegas show after that nothing, "Dead end."

"I need to go." Clint gets up and leaves.

I get a bad feeling I follow Clint on my own sky cycle then he's brought down. I keep my distance he lands on a rooftop hard with his cycle on top of him and a redheaded man in red approaches Clint.

I get in closer, "Well if it isn't my baby brother."

"Nice to see you Barney."

"I heard you've been looking me up."

"I'm making a family tree." Clint jokes.

"I also heard you took in that baby boy I gave to the orphanage."

"What you gave me up willingly?!" I yelled

"Well, well my baby boy all grown up." I took an arrow and shot it at his face he caught it, "Now, now Beau that deserves a time out." he took his bow and shot two arrows each at my arms, I'm pinned, "You know I never really wanted you. Valerie was a one night stand until one day she calls me out of the blue said she's pregnant and says it's mine. But I couldn't tell she had blond hair like you but had brown eyes. Well I went to see her at the hospital and she had all these plans for us, marriage, another kid, college. But my prayers were answered when it turns out she bled out because of you."

"What?" I whispered.

"And her dying wish was that your name would be Beau Benjamin and have my name. I thought it was a waste of air well I did as she asked but I never promised to keep you. Then the circus adopts you because you have my last name all to get to my baby brother. Then Clint takes my baby boy in under his wing as his own son, to be honest I'm glad because I didn't want you. But I think Clint waste his life with you. You're a waste of skin and air." I was getting angrier and angrier, "But this was worth the sixteen year wait." he swung his arm back and was about to hit me.

Clint got out from under his cycle, "Hey Barney believe me the only thing a waste of skin and air is you. But I think dad would be proud of you." he shot an electricity arrow at his chest.

Clint took the arrows out of my sleeves, "Thanks wasn't the electricity arrow extreme?" I asked.

"Nah it's Barney I'm surprised I didn't use something stronger." he turned around and Barney was gone.

"Maybe I shouldn't have followed you. But I thought you were hiding something I had to know."

"No if it wasn't for you distracting Barney I could be dead."

"Yeah but all that stuff he said do you think it's true?"

"It sounded like Barney but we don't know if your mom is dead Beau."

That's when I got an idea I got on my cycle and Clint climbed on we went back to Avengers Mansion and look on the computer for Valerie Barton, "Got it her death certificate." she died on my birthday, she bled out it was true.

"Hey Beau it says today is her birthday."

"At least apart of me knew." I said sadly.

My mom may have died because of me and my dad is a total jerk but I'm glad to have a Uncle Clint with me no matter what. But what made Clint even better he found out where my mom was buried. So now on her birthday we visit her, but I sneak out and meet her on my own. At least one of my parents like me I just wish it wasn't only the dead one.


kind of a sad ending but i did have some Clint and Beau bonding. and Barney Barton is an actual character in Marvel comics and i decided to go with him being a bad guy. you will see more of Trickshot in other stories. read and review.
