I woke up feeling a bit wobbly. I flickered my eyes as the light met my eyes. I sat down and rubbed my face with a bit of a moan.
I turned my head and saw the door widely opened. Clint passed by holding a cellphone-like gadget and looked at me. "You're alive!" he shouted as he walked in. "I locked the door, how did you— oh, the master key." I replied while kicking the blankets off my lap.
I stood up and saw a suit lying on top of the desk beside the door. "That's yours." Clint said as he looked at me staring at it. I lifted it and observed it from top to bottom. "And those are your shoes." he said pointing under the desk. "Now I feel like a little Hawkeye girl." I said while I grabbed them. "Yes you are." he replied while crossing his arm across my shoulders. "Now suit up." he added while leaving the room.
It was near Black Widow's suit but this was less sexy and fit. The black leathery suit was very hard to wear. I wore it and fortunately it fitted perfectly. "These people are so creepy. They even know your size." I murmured to myself.
I barged in Hawkeye's office and he took a glance and stared at me like he was in awe. "Wow, you look stunning." he muttered as he stood up and walked towards me. "This thing is freakishly hard to wear. Oh, Thank you, and so are you." I replied while he stepped backward. "Umm. Let's go." he said as he walked out of the room with me following.
We arrived at the big training room. Agent Natasha Romanoff known as Black Widow and her apprentices were there shooting dummies. "Kids, this is Clint Barton or also known as Hawkeye." Natasha said while she looked at Clint with aspiration. "This is my apprentice, Hayley." Clint said while patting my back.
Natasha's apprentices went beside me as they introduced their selves. "I'm Kimberly and that's Philip." Kimberly said as Philip waved.
"We're classmates in martial arts class in a school near this place." Kimberly explained.
"How did Natasha find you guys?" I asked.
"She substituted as a teacher in our school. She just planned that to find two students who would join S.H.I.E.L.D." she said while Philip just watched.
"And you?" she asked back as Clint shouted, "Hayley, come here!"
"Oh sorry. Talk to you later, master is calling." I replied while they both cackled.
I ran towards Clint while he grabbed my hand and placed a bow. "This will be yours in trainings and missions. You should get used to it, okay." he said. "This is so cool." I exclaimed as I ran my fingers over it. "Let's get moving." he said while he grabbed his own bow and the set of arrows.
He pressed a button on the table and big paper dummies with targets on their chests and heads appeared. He got an arrow and placed it in his arrow quickly and he hit the first target straight in his heart. "Wow." I muttered as he took a glance at me. "Now your turn." he said while I shivered.
I did the same but the arrow hit the side of the target's body. "Now Hayley." he said as he went closer to me and wrapped his arms around my body and held the bow I was holding accompanying me and said, "Align your head and take a look at the target and focus. Calculate. Pull and release the string and hit the target, okay."
He held my hand and pulled it to escort the arrow. "Release." he said as I did so. The arrow landed in the right spot. We looked at each other and I felt a tickling feeling inside that I never felt before. Whenever I look into his eyes, it seems like I never want to look away.
He pulled back and cleared his throat. "So, let's, more." he said looking embarrassed. "What?" I asked while giggling. "I mean, let's hit more targets." he said while he gave me a smile. The smile that makes me feel better every time.
The training finished about thirty minutes after. After a while, he invited me outside the headquarters. "Do you want to walk outside for a while?" Clint asked. "Sure. I could need some air too." I replied while he flashed a grin at me.
We walked for about 5 minutes and reached a beautiful landscape with the view of the sunset. "Want to sit?" he asked me while I sat down without hesitating to answer him.
"You and Natasha are dating? You both are so cute." I said while looking at him waiting for a response patiently.
"No. We broke up." he replied looking depressed.
"Really? Why? What happened?"
He took a deep breath and said, "When we were together there came a time when all she talked about was Steve Rogers and I learned that she made out with him and loved him more than she loves me. Actually I think she didn't love me at all."
"That can't be true. You could've been the cutest couple. And I'm really sorry for asking, now I've made you sad." I replied with a pout.
"No, you haven't." he said while he leaned his head towards mine and pressed his very soft lips into mine. He closed his eyes and pulled back. I felt my heart beat fast and he suddenly stood up and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just so. I'm very sorry!" "It's alright. I liked it." I confessed.
"You what?" he asked looking questioned. I stood and leaned towards him and kissed him harder. He accepted it and held my neck while I placed my hands on his chest. We were left grasping each other at a scenic landscape and living the moment.
