Morning comes where it is grey and gloomy out but thankfully not raining though.
Clint goes down to the bathroom and showers with his bag of supplies in hand, soap, hair shampoo.
He already shed his clothes off and wrapped himself in a white towel from the waist down. He sees it's a series of shower stalls with dividers in between each stall with doors to slide shut for what he could only guess was a little privacy.
Suddenly he hears the sound of running water and the stall door closed only seeming to show the current occupants ankles and feet at best but sees the door cuts off the majority of their frame except for their arms and shoulders.
But unfortunately Clint notices it's Rahne. And worse than that he sees that she's stark naked but luckily he couldn't see any of her private parts thanks to the box stall. However the mere thought of seeing her naked for him to see brought a stirring feeling between his legs. The feeling of dick coming to life brings a crimson blush to his face. Clint is completely embarrassed he only me this girl yesterday and now he's thinking about….uhh. He shudders, unfortunately what Clint doesn't se me is a certain blonde Russian off to the side her chest and majority of her body wrapped up in a towel.
Illyana is not pleased at all. But she figured on having some fun. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU FUCKING PERV!!!" She screeches at the top of her lungs. The sudden outburst scares both Clint and Rahne who was completely unaware of the situation, until now.
Clint's jaw is working itself open and closed but he's lost his voice the worst case scenario has become a reality and all hell is about to break loose.
"I….I..I…I-I'm sorry I just came down here to take a shower, Dr. Reyes told me this is where they were I swear I thought they were separated for gender I swear to God I wasn't to violate anyone's personal privacy!!!!!" Clint babbles on in full on panic mode holding his unoccupied hand up in defense swinging it back and forth between Illyana and Rahne.
Rahne finally sees what all the commotion is about she guesses it must be Clint's first time using the showers here. Although she did admit she had never seen him shirtless before and saw that he had a nice toned chest and set of abs to match. Her thoughts drifted down south to what was underneath his towel. Rahne wondered if that was decent as well. She suddenly realizes the sinful thoughts that momentarily hijacked her brain a moment ago. What was she thinking….literally! She felt ashamed of herself. She feels as if her more wild thought just mentally violated Clint.
Rahne shakes her head before speaking, "Shut up Illyana!" Firing shots at the blonde who gives a smirk of satisfaction for working the new guy up to the point where looked like he was on the verge of an aneurysm.
Rahne continued, "You're in the the right place Clint it's a Co-Ed shower usually everybody take one at a different time like clockwork but I understand if you didn't know, we probably should've told you!" To Clint's surprise Rahne seems rather understand and less freaked out about the fact that the only thing keeping him for seeing her as naked as the day she was born is the stall.
Illyana just rolls her eyes and walks by purposely bumping into Clint. "Whoops!" She says carelessly. That brings a look of rage to his face which he is easily able to shake off upon seeing Rahne smiling at him.
"Again I'm so sorry Rahne I didn't know I swear on a stack of bibles!" Clint says raising his right hand.
Rahne just shrugs it off, "It's okay I believe you besides I know your not that kind of guy!" Before returning to washing herself. Clint walks down a few stalls. Rahne notices and wonders why he's distancing himself so much from her. "Why are you doing?" Clint looks confused when the gesture should be obvious. "I wanted to give you some space because I don't want you to think that I might try and sneak a peek or something!" All honestly in his voice. "I told you Clint I trust you! There's a stall right here!" Pointing to the empty space to her right.
Clint was caught off guard. "I know but it's knobs of more embarrassing than that Rahne, you I-…well I've….I haven't-" he desperately is trying to get the words out in a way she will understand. Rahne takes notice of this and can see what he mean as the beet red blush on his face says it all.
"You haven't see a girl naked before have you?" She asks.
Clint gives a nervous chuckle scratching the back of his head hearing her say what he couldn't, "Yeah! Honest to God yes I mean I've seen a few pictures online and some videos but never in person though!" He admits unable to look her in the eye at the moment.
Rahne thought he looked completely adorable when he was all jumbled up and nervous. "I promise you Clint it's alright!" Clint sighs in defeat before walking over to the empty stall next to her closing the stall door behind him locking it. At this point he undoes the towel expoing the rest of him and hangs it up on the hook off to the side and turns the nozzle. Feeling the water come rushing down on him cold at first. But it slowly started to warm up although a stray yet horrifying thought entered him mind.
"There aren't any cameras in here are there?" He asks her worriedly. Rahne shakes her head in denial, "Only safe place in the building, but there could still be mics so shhh!" Bringing a finger to her lips gesturing him to keep it down.
Things go well for the most part until Clint's observant gaze catching something out of the corner of his eye. Turning to Rahne he sees what looks like a 'W' branded on the top back corner of her right shoulder.
Clint speaks before he even realizes he's staring, "Damn! Is that a brand?" He asks in shock. Rahne follows his gaze somehow she knew he would spot that.
She hesitates but still answers, "Yes! But it wasn't my idea!"
This earns her a concerned look from Clint as he continues to wash his upper body. "What's it mean, how did you get it?"
Rahne freezes as those are two of the more sensitive and personal questions and most sensitive ones that despite feeling open to Clint these questions he was asking her were more connected to her traumatic past. A trauma and past that she has put behind her and never dared to look back on it.
She turned the nozzle and takes the towel and wraps it around her body grabbing her bag of supplies turning to face him before leaving. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about it!" Unlocking the stall to leave.
Clint's eyes follow her like magnets as she leaves. Somehow he feels like he just overstepped.
Several minutes pass by as Clint has just finished and dried off exiting the stall only to hear the door open to see Sam walk in looking like he literally had to drag himself out of bed this morning. He can tell that the guy has something heavy on his mind right now as he stops by the sink and hangs his head.
Clint is a bit concerned now, "Hey you alright?" he asks.
Sam doesn't look at Clint but he does respond though, "Yeah I'm just tired is all thanks though!" Clint doesn't believe him but he doesn't know the guy to push any further. So he just leaves to go get ready for group therapy session for the day.
Sam is now alone just staring into the mirror feelings of guilt and sadness after the events of last night kept him up replaying again over and over. He suddenly starts vibrating his hand before grunting out of frustration before his good hand surrounded itself in the purplish pink glow before hitting himself in the face twice the second time causing him to fall to the floor.
Later everyone is gathered in the common room Clint found out apparently today's group therapy session was about control and Dr. Reyes wanted to try meditation so they were all formed in a circle. Some actually trying to meditate others not so much preferably Illyana and Roberto.
It was night before Clint knew it as he was now dressed in a light grey t-shirt and jeans. He went off to the common room where everyone else was. Rahne was watching a movie on TV sitting on the ground, Illyana was sitting on the couch admiring her little purple puppet. While Sam, Roberto, and Clint were playing foosball Clint was in the lead so far as wins went Clint was in first place, Sam in second, and Roberto was holding up the rear.
In fact the only person who wasn't there besides Dr. Reyes who Clint didn't count, was Dani who by sheer chance was just walking into the room Illyana noticed and as usual she was up to no good.
"Hey standing rock, you want a Buffalo wing, your people just love Buffalo don't you!" Illyana said snidely.
Clint clenched his fist now this bitch was going racial.
Sam rolled his eyes, Jesus, Illy, will you just stop!"
"No! It's okay!" Dani said seemingly unfazed by the racist joke.
"Standing Rock! That's a good one, more original than the 'Pocahontas' one you said when I first came here, way to step up your game!" Dani said until she was right up in Illyana's face.
"You don't scare me, my dad told me about bitches like you!" Dani said with a sharp tone.
Illyana seemed unfazed if anything she looked encouraged, as her mean smile returned to her face, "Ohh look at this the little injun is trying to act brave, then again there aren't many braves left in the world these days are there I wonder why!" She says hinting at the racist comment. Looking to get a ride out of the young Native American.
Dani was about to say something, but Clint suddenly started laughing he'd seen and heard enough and wanted to take this bimbo's ego down a few pegs for once and give her a nice good taste of her own medicine.
Two can play at this game honey! Clint mentally noted.
Clint walks over right next to Dani still laughing she was giving him a confused look about what seemed so funny. Clint finally looks at Illyana getting serious but still with some humor left on his features, "Wow you really are something else alpha bitch, class act racist, and egomaniacal sadistic mutant!" He said with a dirty smirk bending down to look the girl in the eye.
Illyana's face turns colder than the temperatures up at the North Pole, Clint had her right where he wanted her. He just smirked, "In fact this calls for a celebration don't you guys think!" he addresses to the others in the room enthusiastically. "Hey Sam can you run down to the liquor store and pick up a few bottles of Vodka!" Pointing to the door sounding serious out of all the others in the room Roberto was the only one who found this amusing. Sam of course didn't move and looked quite shocked actually he had to admit this guy has got balls to challenge Illyana. Clint turned back and gave the same snide smirk to Illyana that she gave Dani.
"You Russians just love your Vodka don't you! Maybe if you finally had a few swigs and got drunk you'd finally loosen up that tight little count of yours, not that anyone would be interested in fucking a short tempered flatty like you that is insecure, well hey if you want some action why don't you just have the puppet there eat out your ice cold pussy, or better yet why don't you just shove it up your pussy and just leave it there!" Clint finished burning her. As nothing but dead silence fills up the room.
Take that bitch!!! The voice notes.
Roberto is barely able to contain his laughter at the third degree burn the new guy just gave her.
Clint feels pride well up within him as the smirk on his face says it all. He can't help but take in this moment or the expression Illyana's face that is now Arctic cold and absolutely priceless.
Sadly she regains her composure with her smirk making it's way back onto her face as she rises off the couch to meet him at eye level. "Not bad, not bad at all, looks like mama's boy finally grew some balls, oh wait your mommy is in hell where she belongs for giving birth to a poor excuse for a mutant like you, but don't worry you'll see her again!" She says triumphantly returning the glare at him.
Clint feels he's about to burst how dare this cunt brings up his mother, Clint has half a mind to hit her, but instead his expression turns serious as he gets right up into her face with only a few inches of space between them and says roughly.
"Drop dead!" Clint then turns to the puppet on her right hand and spits on it. That strikes a nerve with Illyana as she backhands him across the face.
Clint just chuckles at that touching his cheek only feeling a momentary sting before returning back to her again smiling before his expression turns serious again.
"Was that too mean I'm sorry, I meant drop dead, Comrade!!" He says defiantly. This time he gets a punch right to the face causing Clint to stumble back a few feet. Gripping his nose.
"I'll get to you in a minute!!!" Illyana growls with pure hatred and rage in her voice at him.
Clint watches not really caring at this point he got what he wanted from her. Luckily his nose wasn't bleeding as he released his grip from it.
Looking back to Dani, "Now where were we ah yes you where about to show us and the puppet where daddy touched you!"
That tears it with Dani as she snatches the puppet right off of Illyana's hand.
"Lockheed!!!!" She cries out, jumping over the couch grabs by at Dani trying to take it back.
Clint was about to intervene but Sam and Rahne beat him to it as they tried to restraint the two girls who were currently gunning at each other's throats.
"You keep my fathers name out of your mouth bitch!!" Dani yells struggled against Rahne's grip on her.
Illyana on the other hand who was being restrained by Sam elbowed his casted arm forcing him to release his hold on her, pain clear on his face gripping his cast.
Rahne releases her hold on Dani who got right in Illyana's face. "You don't know anything about me!!" She says madly.
Illyana just scoffs, "Oh really do you know anything 16 years old and doesn't even know her power anymore than the new guy knows his," pointing to Clint but keeps her eyes on Dani. "It seems like that mutant period should've kicked in by now!" Illyana says giving Dani a shove back.
Rahne takes a step forward, "Leave her alone!" She pleads.
"I'm helping her this is therapy!" Illyana responds giving Dani another shove.
Dani is cornered against the table. "Get your hands off me!"
"Or you'll what?" Illyana challenges getting in her face.
"Let's find out." She says gripping Dani by her hair pinning her to the table.
"What are you gonna do, huh?"
Dani has had enough as she breaks free of the Russian girls hold and headbutts her in the face. Illyana groans holding her nose and mouth taking a few steps back.
"Fucking bitch!!" She says. What happens next makes Clint a little worried for Dani's safety as he witnesses Illyana's entire right arm become encoded by some sort of silverly armor encasing and a large sword with a fiery blue blade in her hand. The look on the Russian's face is twisted with utter rage as she eyes Dani like a predator about to attack it's prey.
Dani's eyes widen as do Clint's thinking this girl might actually try to kill her.
Illyana takes some breaths and then she brings her sword back ready to bring it down on Dani's head.
Almost out of instinct Clint's left arm shoots out a black substance engulfing the entire arm a tendril shoots out and quickly expands into what looks like a shield in front of Dani protecting her. As Illyana's sword makes contact with it unable to break through before bringing it back down to her side.
All eyes in the room are now on Clint who is in awe and shock of what just happened. As the shield dissipates and the black tendril retracts back into his arm. Clint knows for sure this time that he did that on his own. As he looks at his hand and arm inspecting it with wide eyes. He looks back to the others who are staring at him stunned by the display of what they can only suspect was his powers.
Even Illyana is stunned at the moment, her sword was able to cut through anything what what that black gooey blob she saw.
Clint just shrugs giving a nervous chuckle giving them the answer to their obvious question, 'how did he do that?'.
Unfortunately for Clint he feels the unknown force come back again taking control of his body. Not now he prays especially not in front of everyone. His feet move awkwardly towards Illyana then feels his arm automatically ball up into a fist and strikes her right across the face.
Clint feels like he just dug his own grave as the expression on his face is paler than a ghost.
Illyana rubs her cheek. If she were a bull there would be steam coming out of her nose right now. Only one word can describe what her face has become contorted. Wrath, whoever said he'll hath no fury like a woman scorned wasn't kidding.
Clint tires to apologize, but Illyana isn't in a listening mood at the moment as she screeches what sounds like a pretty good imitation of a war cry bringing her sword down on him.
Clint tries to shield himself with his arm but the blue blade slices through flesh and bone cutting his right hand clean off from the wrist. The searing pain brings him to his knees as his left hand grabs his severed wrist blood pouring out seeing his hand a few feet away lifelessly.
Illyana chuckles wickedly at the sight. While Rahne's hands are covering her mouth in a gasp. God almighty! She knew Illyana was temperamental and had psychopathic tendencies but never did she ever do something like this before especially to someone Rahne like very much so.
Clint is still grasping his forearm in pain until the pain starts to become less and less slowly the black tendril forms out of where his wrist line would be and makes it's way over to his dead hand latching onto it and bringing it back over to him. The others watch with interest at the sight before them wondering what was happening now.
Clint watched as the tendril surrounded his entire outer wrist and the edge of his severed hand. A moment later the tendril finally retreats back beneath the flesh of his arm. What Clint and the others see next is a sight that leaves them all baffled. His hand is reconnect back to his wrist, no scar, no wounds, not even so much as a scratch. The pain was completely gone, his eyes are wide in terror of how that was possible as he carefully inspects his hand and wrist and flexes his hand and fingers a few times feeling the same as if it was never even cut off.
Clint looks to Illyana whose jaw is on the floor not literally that is but you get the point. It's impossible she convinces herself.
Clint let's out a chuckle, "How did I do that?" He asks more to himself than the others. Honestly he thinks it's kinda cool he has a healing factor he thinks it's called.
Illyana snorts, "Well I hope you can do it again let's see if you can do it again only this time being decapitated from the head and shoulders!" She threatens, twirling her sword ready for another strike but this time an orange forcefield surrounds Clint. He looks by the entrance to the room to see Dr. Reyes holding her hand out walking towards them obviously she must've seen the situation they were in.
"You know the rules, no powers in here, and definitely no fighting!" Dr. Reyes states as Illyana brings her sword back down as Reyes drops the force field surrounding Clint who stands up and takes a few steps back next to Dani.
Illyana looks at the two of them, with that the her sword and armored arm disappear showing her normal skin again holding her hands up in defense. "Sorry doctor I thought maybe Dani and Clint were invincible, she's not but he might be, just wanted to see if I was right!" She smiles innocently at Dr. Reyes who looks less than pleased at the display of behavior shown.
"Solitary, all three of you!" She says sternly.
Clint speaks up, "What? I we didn't do anything though it ain't our fault, she started it!" Gesturing to himself and Dani before pointing to Illyana while keeping his gaze on Dr. Reyes.
"I don't care who started it, or how it happened insubordinate behavior and any unauthorized misuse of powers will not be tolerated whatsoever!"
Clint scoffs wearing a 'you got to be kidding!' me look on his face. "Ok so I got it next time she tries to split Dani here in half I should just sit back do nothing right?" He says with a little bit of sassy smartassness to his tone.
Dr. Reyes looks at him displeasingly, "Don't try to fight this Clint, your new here and I don't expect you to understand, but I do expect you to listen to me when I say that no one here is above the rules!"
Clint let's out a sarcastic chuckle at those words, "Well I've heard that bullshit before, like my uncle always told me, 'Justice and Law aren't the same thing!' and apparently that applies here as well!"
Dr. Reyes is tired of his defiance at this point, "Stop arguing with me will the three of you follow me please!"
Rahne then speaks up on Clint and Dani's behalf. "But he's telling the truth it wasn't Clint and Dani's-" before she could finish Dr. Reyes cut her off, "The rest of you lights out in 10." With that she turned around to no doubt lead the three of them to their solitary confinement cells.
Clint looked to Rahne who nodded after Dr. Reyes most likely suggesting him to just go along with it. He nods back at her following behind Illyana and Dani.
