"No, Stop!"
"Another well fought battle indeed" Thor boomed. Thor led the team into the kitchen and they went to celebrate the taking down of Hydra.
Clint and Tony went straight to the couch. Tony lounging on a chair and Clint laying on his back on the couch with a wince. His back is killing him. No one saw it, thankfully, but he fell out of a window and landed on his quiver. No doubt there's gonna be a hell of a bruise tomorrow.
Thor comes back with a box of pop tarts and the rest of the team files in. "You good?" Natasha asks while helping Clint up. "Yeah yeah." He sighs breathlessly. "Just bruised." She rolls her eyes.
"Movie Night?" Tony asks while grabbing the remote. "I mean, we're all here."
Clint nods and sits back down. In between Nat and Steve. And he's exhausted, the adrenaline rush wiped out all of his energy. He lays his head back in the cushion with a sigh. Steve notices but decides not to comment.
They end up watching Scary Movie 2. And only 20 minutes in is when Clint falls asleep. His head falls forward and he practically passes out. Steve grabs Clint and places Clint's head on Steve's shoulder. Making it more comfortable for him.
It was only another 20 minutes when Clint started mumbling. "ne ne ne…bez zastavení." Steve goes to wake Clint up until Natasha stops him. "Not yet." She whispers. "He doesn't get much sleep. This is good for him. Besides, he knows when to wake himself up. Besides, he might think you're an enemy and attack you if you touch him." Steve lowers his hand and looks back at the TV.
"prosím…přestaň." Clint groans and squeezes his eyes shut. This time Tony and Bruce look over. "Natasha!" This wakes up Thor. "What is going on?"
Steve ignores Thor and looks at Clint. He's concerned. Clints proceeded to mumble in another language and is groaning as if he's in pain. "prosím…ne ne."
Natasha remembers this mission, they were in Central Europe, Czech Republic to be exact, and they were disguised as civilians. Their intel said there were Hydra agents in the area, and their job was to take them down. The only problem, they were receiving information from was a disguised hydra agent. He hacked all of Shield and managed to send Strike Team Delta on a mission, only to get captured. Which is exactly what happened.
Skipping the whole torture session, Natasha ended up with a bullet in her lung and Clint with 20 lashes on his back and a broken wrist. That's probably what he was flashbacking to. Seeing Natasha bleed out on the ground while he was strung up to the ceiling, helpless. Unable to do anything to save his partner.
"Please!" It snapped her back to reality. "Stop! You can't…can't do that to her."
She remembers this part of the mission. It's when they shot her. "No no no no, Stop!" He flinches back and he wakes up with a tear on his cheek. Once he realizes that the whole team is watching him, he hastily wipes it away.
Steve is the first to talk. "It's okay Clint. Sit back down." He didn't even realize that he stood up. He slides back onto the couch and locks eyes with Natasha. The fear is still evident. She grabs his knee in silent comfort. "M'sorry." He whispers in her ear.
"It's not your fault. Besides, I'm still here aren't I?" She's glad that she receives a chuckle.
That's how they sit for the rest of the movie. Clint curled against Natasha and Steve sitting at the corner of the couch watching over them, making sure nothing else is going to happen to their archer.
