Anyway don't own marvel or its characters. The song is Edelweiss the Austrian folk song. I do not own it. The translation is at the bottom.
This update is for loganrogue24, RedNat, and TriGemimi. Thank you.
(Don't expect the third to come so quickly. Sorry)
He felt in his bones. Something was off, HYDRA wasn't this easy to beat. The trees were silent, foreboding, but even still they taut him as much as his partners eyes did on a mission. There was someone, something in these woods that did not belong. And it wasn't the Hulk. The Archer was not alone.
A breath of wind, a blue-grey blur. Agent Barton dove behind a tree, not that it was much cover from an invisible enemy. He nocked an arrow and waited, tuning himself fully into the forest.
A breath of wind, a blur, the crack of a rifle. He dived away, and the bullet flew harmlessly by. The man's features betrayed no fear, only annoyance as he listened and watched for the blur. He sensed more than saw the smudge in the corner of his periphery. Crack! Cursing under his breath, as the bullet race towards him he threw himself to the side. For once (the thousandth time) the master marksman was too late; he felt the fiery pain tear through him. As he fell to the ground he scowled at the cocky teen that stood over him. "You didn't see that coming?" The blond boy asked.
"Clint!" Tasha screamed.
Then the enhanced boy was gone and she was there at his side, glaring at him, as her ever confident fingers pressed cotton over his wound.
"Clint's hit!" She growled into her comm. "Somebody want to deal with that bunker?"
She glanced up and smiled at someone behind him. 'Thank you."
Her eyes found his at some point and the threat in them was clear, 'Die Birdbrain, and I'll kill you!'
He smiled.
Ultron was there the Archer could sense him, the Enhanced twins too, he felt them. He heard the sounds of battle, heard Cap's call for him and his partner to join the fight.
His arrows flew true, but that was before everything went south. The girl had joined the brawl. Thor's deep voice came over the comms, 'something about mind tricks and a lesser being not able to withstand her. ' then silence. Deep in his gut Hawkeye felt it, they were falling one by one into the spells of this red witch.
He found Thor. Gone. Deep in some memory. His once bright eyes were a dull scarlet.
Stark wants help. "Well, that's not going to happen. Not for a while. The whole Team is down, you got no backup here."
The Hulk. Demolishing the city of. Gone.
Stark is alone. Chasing the renegade Hulk.
Clint ran... Searching for the rest, hoping beyond hope that they were not under the spell. Hoping fruitlessly he knew, but he still hope.
He found Cap. Dancing with an imaginary partner, smiling down at her. Gone. Scarlet eyes.
Then he felt it (somehow), felt what she must have when Loki took him, the emptiness deep in his core. Nat was down. Anger pulsed through him and only the sharp intake of breath warned him of her approach. "I've done the whole mind control thing. Not a fan." He said. He left the witch in a crumpled pile and dashed to his partner.
One look at her face and Hawkeye's heart trembled, he knew what memories she was facing. He shook her gently, calling her name. Nothing. Her scarlet eyes were glazed and empty. She shook with unhidden terror. "Nat, Tasha! Come back!"
Slowly the Archer rocked her as he softly sang her lullaby:
"Эдельвейс, Эдельвейс, каждое утро вы приветствуете меня. Маленький и белый, чистый и яркий, ты выглядишь счастливым, встретив меня. цветение снега, пусть цветут и растут, цветут и растут вечно.
Эдельвейс, Эдельвейс, благослови мою родину навсегда."
His sharp eyes always on hers as they cleared in fits and starts, and her natural green returned. Nat trembled and shook, fighting the demons of her past. He tried to hold her more securely, to comfort her, to wrap her in a shield that could not be penetrated by those memories. He whispered her name, tried to gain her attention, but though the witch no longer controlled his Nat, she had done her damage.
Clint had seen Natasha Romanoff cracked and broken, but she had always picked up the pieces and gone on. But this was different, she was a shattered glass and the wind had blown her shards out of range, mixed her memories around, and left her trembling. Unable to physically or mentally move. "I'll tear her to pieces." Hawkeye growled. But the witch had fled, leaving only two avengers in their right minds.
Translations. I apologize if they are incorrect.
Эдельвейс, Эдельвейс, каждое утро вы приветствуете меня. Маленький и белый, чистый и яркий, ты выглядишь счастливым, встретив меня. цветение снега, пусть цветут и растут, цветут и растут вечно.
Эдельвейс, Эдельвейс, благослови мою родину навсегда. -edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Small and white, pure and bright, you look happy to meet me. Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever. Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my homeland forever.
Last chapter will take a little while. Review, please!
