Secret Goddess

Fifty-Four: Barton

Clinton Francis Barton was scared, his Dad had come home drunk and he had begun to beat all of them. His Momma, his brother and him; because he got in the way and now he was getting a beating.

"You worthless piece of trash, no one loves you and no one will." His Father said and he punched him and Clint cried out. "Ha, pussy can't even hold in his screams." his father said.

"Get off him." Barney said just to be pushed away.

"No!" Clint said and tried to fight just to get kicked in the ribs by their Father. He is in pain, when their Father finally leaves them alone. Barney goes to check on their mother, but Clint he crawls out of the house into the cold winter night. He is in pain as he climbs to the roof because he liked heights they kept him away from the hurts and he let the tears fall silently.

Jacqueline was giving snow to the places and really she adored the Winter months because it gave her free reign and she could get out and the Seasons (read: Orchid) couldn't bug her. She had just come from visiting Tony and she was happy to know that the kid was doing great things even if Howard didn't appreciate them. She was currently in Iowa and was delivering snow in some places. As she moved, she noticed a house, but it wasn't the house it was the fact that someone was on the roof. She knew people hid from her snow, well they were some exceptions-like couples- but tonight her cold was a little harsher.

"Wind lest go over there." she said. The Wind took her toward the figure and she thought it would be a teenager and their girlfriend, when she noticed that it was a little boy, she got closer.

"Oh my MiM." She said and covered her mouth. She had seen cases like these, of course she had over the years and she hated them. So she did what she did to the other children she had found. She touched his cheek and expected to pass through him or him to move. When the boy nuzzled her hand and seemed comfortable it made her gasp in shock and the boy opened his eyes to look at her.

"Who are you? Are you going to hurt me?" Clint asked as he saw the person with the cloak. When the person took off the hood, he saw blue eyes, which had kindness in them and white hair. She looked like an angel. She felt safe to him.

"I'm not." She told him. She was in shock that the boy could see her and she felt like running. She couldn't do this again, she really couldn't. But looking at the blue-gray green eyes made her heart clench trying to protect him even if she knew that she couldn't. Not always; at this moment she had to make the decision could she risk going through what she did with Steve one more time.

"My name is Jacqueline Frost, but you can call me Jack." She told him. "What's your name?"

"My name is Clint." He told her and she smiled at him before sitting beside the boy.

"Why are you here, shouldn't you be inside with your family?" she asked him and he shook his head and seemed frightened.

"I…I…" he says and Jacqueline grabs his shoulders hugging him.

"I'm not telling you to go inside you're okay." She tells him. "It's just you must be cold." She says and takes off the cloak, taking all her lucky stars that she had a friend enchanted so it could be warm for other people but cold enough for her.

"T…thank-you." He tells her with a smile that she returns. "But aren't you cold?" he asks her, because he didn't want to cause trouble on someone so nice to him. Jacqueline smiles and out of her staff she shoots snowflakes and Clint claps at them and chuckles.

"I'm the Winter Queen." She says and surprises herself at the fact that she actually admitted that. "I bring snow to the world, you know me as Jack Frost." She whispers.

"That is so cool." He tells her and he gently lies on her lap with the cloak covering his entire body. Before Jacqueline see's Sandman's dream-sand and she could see his dreams. She sees a little bit of black sand but she infuses some of her own magic and Clint dreams of snowball fights and snowman. She doesn't know that is one of the nicest dreams Clint has ever had in his life.

When Clint's parents died, Jacqueline knew about it. She risked Calla's rage to go and see him. She held him as he cried on the roof of the orphanage his new home.

"H….he….he k…k…killed my M…M….mom." he hiccupped and cried. Jacqueline held him close let him cry and shed some tears herself.

Over that year she told him stories, read them to him. She would visit him even if it was risking getting the other Spirits pissed, she helped him find Easter Eggs and she froze the one he gave her.

"Can you believe it; I'm in the Circus now." Clint told her with pride seeing as he could shoot an arrow like a pro.

"I'm very proud of you Clint." She told him and the smile he gave her told her that he didn't get complimented like that before.

"I know, Swordsman and Trickshot showed us." Clint told her.

"That's good to know Clint, good to know that you're learning, you are keeping up with everything else right?" she asked him. He suddenly got really nervous and she looked at him.

"Don't be upset." He told her.

"I won't." She told him.

"I stole some books from the library to read…" he said and looked at her and she saw the panic in his eyes the panic of not being wanted. "But I returned them before we leave." He tells her.

"It's alright Clint as long as you do give them back." She tells him.

"Okay." He tells her.

Jacqueline was in the Winter Castle, when none other than Azalea came running with Icy and she aloud it because it was Azalea and Icy knew exactly who to get inside.

"Jack!" she screamed.

"What happened?" Jacqueline got up fast because it was Fall and Azalea wouldn't come if it had not been an emergency.

"Your human, the boy I saw you with he…he oh my goddess, Jacqueline lets go." Azalea said and fear just crept up Jacqueline's spine.

#

When they flew they landed where Azalea showed her and Jacqueline gasped. On the ground was Clint and he was bloodied and bruise and it as likely he could die, she knew.

"No, no, no, not again." She begged no one. She ran at Clint bent down at him and he was trying not to move, but he had she could tell by the blood trail that he had crawled.

"Clint, Clint…" she says. Clint moves his head up and he still can't believe his mentors and Barney left him for dead betrayed him. He looks up to see blue eyes, blue eyes he knows.

"Jack." He says. She sees tears in her eyes.

"Come on don't give up on me, Clint don't leave me." she begs him. He's hurting and it pains him to see the only person that cares for him cry out like that to him. He notices someone else with her but Jack seems to be talking to them. Suddenly he is moved and all he knows is that he is laid on a bed for real.

Jacqueline asked Azalea to put on her human form so she could take Clint to a hotel room, so she could fix him. Azalea had been shocked and it pained Jacqueline because he had to show, how much of a freak she truly was because she couldn't form a human body like all the other Spirits, but it was to save Clint so she didn't care and she knew Azalea wouldn't say anything.

"Jacqueline are you going to be alright?" Azalea asks.

"Yeah." Jacqueline tells her. "Can you not…"

"I won't say anything." Azalea tells her with a smile. "You think he is going to be alright, he looks really broken."

"He is." Jacqueline tells him because this was not the first time Clint had been broken. When Azalea leave, Jacqueline begins to heal him up, she knows that he is going to feel cold, but it will be better than anything else.

Clint feels cold, but it feels nice and he whimpers, but hears whispers every once in a while, he lets slumber take him.

#

When he wakes up, he tells Jacqueline everything that happened.

"I have to prove them wrong be my own man." He tells her. Those words shot another shiver of fear. Clint suddenly pulls her into a hug and she feels tears in his eyes. "Thank-you, I don't know why you saved me, maybe they were right."

"No they were not, they were wrong Clint you are special, you always have been." She tells him. "I'll help you anytime I can, I will be there when you need a shoulder, a hug, a friend."

"Thank-you." He tells her.
