"Clint, Clint." I murmured. I smirked and when I realized it was morning and I was on my bed at the headquarters. "Did I pass out?" I asked myself. I looked beside me and I was stunned seeing Clint. I sat down immediately and panicked. "Clint!" I shouted while shaking him to wake up. He moaned and murmured, "What?" "How did I get here?" I asked while staring at him.
He slowly sat down and rubbed his face. "Hayley, calm down. Nothing happened. After you kissed me, I asked if you would like to sit down and lean on my shoulder. You did and well, you fell asleep." he said while placing his hands on my shoulder. I stared at him until he would say something else and he did. "I carried you home and I placed you on your bed then I was about to leave when you asked me to stay." he added while fixing his hair. "I did?" I asked while I tried to avoid eye contact out of embarrassment.
He laughed and said, "Yes you did." I looked at him and just giggled about the fact that I seemed very out of place last night. Clint suddenly stood up and held his ear gadget thingy. "Yes sir." he blurted. "What did he say?" I asked. "We'll have a meeting later 12:00. You'll join me." he said. "Sure. Just fetch me." I replied.
It was meeting time and we were all circled in the table in the meeting room. The people inside were Natasha Romanoff, Kimberly, Philip, Clint, Agent Hill, Nick Fury and myself. I was beside Kimberly and Clint of course. Kimberly and me just spent the time waiting for the other agents talking to each other. "I'm not late am I, Stark still isn't here." Steve Rogers said as he rushed into the room. "So star struck of Cap, are you?" Clint said, as I never left my stare at Steve. "Well, he is the first avenger isn't he?" I said in reply.
"Nick Fury, you have called me for such gathering." Thor said while entering the room with his beautiful golden hair flowing over his shoulders. "Yes I did, now take a seat." Nick Fury said while contacting someone, which is most likely to be Tony Stark.
Twenty minutes has passed until Tony Stark has arrived. "What a surprise." Nick said looking at Tony with a dissatisfied look. "Well at least I am thirty minutes earlier than the time I usually arrive. Now pull my chair back will you, Blondie?" Tony said referring to Thor. "Are you denoting me?" Thor asked. "Yes Princess, now pull it." Tony replied.
"Stark!" Nick shouted. "Okay, okay. I can do it myself." Tony said. The meeting began and Nick Fury showed a video of my school from the cameras I hang up. It showed that Beast knew the plan of S.H.I.E.L.D. of taking all the mutant students to the cure center. Beast told the head of the school, Ms. Storm. They had a meeting of their own talking about their plan, which is to confront S.H.I.E.L.D. without attacking us. Though they will defend their selves if S.H.I.E.L.D. attacks first.
"Clint, I'm scared." I whispered to Clint remembering that I am a part of that school once. He held my hand and said, "Your cold, relax. I'll try my best to hide you from them." Clint answered.
Nick Fury asked all for requests from all of us for our own plan. "Catch them. That would be easy." Tony suddenly announced. "That would be hard Mr. Stark. They are very powerful." Nick replied.
"What if we do it the easy way? Let's gain their trust and talk to them friendly." Steve Rogers recommended.
"Captain, what about the fact that there are a lot of students in that school and when do we plan to cure them? When they're older and they have their powers fully developed?" Clint asked while raising an eyebrow to Steve.
"What if we stick to Cap's plan and see what will happen when we get there." Agent Maria added.
"Well Agent Hill, Clint actually has a point there." Natasha Romanoff replied.
"Quiet everyone. Agent Hill is right. It's the best we could do. Hurting them will be too much for now. We are also the good guys aren't we?" Nick Fury stated. "Okay. This meeting is done" he added.
"Join me for some shawarma?" Tony asked while standing up and brushing his suit. "I'm in!" Thor shouted. Some more followed.
While we walked outside the meeting room I felt my heart beat which made me a bit teary. Clint noticed me and asked, "Why?" "I'm worried." I told Clint while he frowned at me. "Be strong Hayley. Don't let your fears make you weaker." he replied with a hug. "Thank you for always being there Clint." I said. "Of course." he replied.
