Chapter 23

Memories

Clint walked into Stark tower as the guilt was beginning to set in, he had to deal with Natasha at some point.

When the elevator doors opened the television was blaring and Natasha, Phil, Bruce and Steve were all watching a movie. "Hey!" Phil said as he noticed Clint at the doorway, all Clint could do was mouth the word 'Shower' and head for the bathroom 'Fuck why did I think this was a good idea' he thought as his phone buzzed in his pocket.

Kate

'Thanks for the fuck? Clint are you kidding me! Call me!'

Clint just hit delete and turned on the shower, he jumped in letting the water wash away the residue of his wrongdoing. He let the water run over his head and back, helping him relax when he heard the door open. Phil stepped in the shower, joining Clint.

"Where were you hiding" he joked "Going for a night run? Leaving me alone to fantasizing" he smiled at Clint.

Clint laugh feeling so uneasy "Yea I had to clear my head, Loki decided to pay another visit"

Phil's face automatically changed at the mention of Loki's name "Are you okay?" his hands going around Clint's waist "Ever since this morning, I worry!" he kissed his neck.

"I'm fine baby..just dealing with it day by day" he smiled at him trying to focus on the shower. Phil pulled him away from the water and slammed him against the wall, as rough as he could. The kisses were showing his passion as well as his want for Clint.

"I've been thinking about this all day" he whispered in Clint's ear as he began to kiss down the archers chest. Clint was trying to no make this uncomfortable but he felt like Kate's sex scent still lingered on him, so he pulled Phil up into a kiss and got on his knees, changing the plan. Phil's eyes were locked on Clint, his heart racing awaiting the next move.

Clint grabbed his lover's hips, using them to keep him steady and began tracing the shaft and head of his lover's penis with his tongue, feeling him jerk from the sensation. He paid particular attention to the head of his cock watching Phil close his eyes and moan. Clint finally took in Phil's length and began working his magic, feeling his lovers hands grasp on to his hair, regulating his movements, Clint's eyes met Phil's almost like they were asking for his approval, and getting it. Moving faster feeling Phil tense up and release in his mouth, his grip on Clint's hair getting tighter as he swallowed.

Phil was breathing heavily all this attention was making him want to dominate Clint, he tightened his grip on Clint's hair pulling the man off his knees "Up against the way" Phil barked as he pushed his lover roughly towards the wall.

Clint went reeling back trying to catch himself on the wall behind him, but he lost his footing, slipping and smashing his head against the wall. He saw spots before it went black.

As Phil watched Clint fall he tried to catch him but was just to slow. The noise of Clint's head hitting the wall echoed through the bathroom, and Phil's eyes saw the red trail coming from his head as he slid down the wall.

"Clint?" Phil rushed over to his crumpled body, realizing he was bleeding badly.

"Jarvis get Banner and a medical crew" Phil screamed at the AI as he threw on his sweats and scooped up Clint's limp body and covered him with a towel. He ran into the hall "BANNER HELP' he yelled as Clint's limp body was still dripping wet, blood dripping from his head onto Phil's pants.

Natasha a Bruce raced to the screaming Phil "Phil what the fuck happened" Bruce said ushering him towards the medical ward.

"He fell in the shower and there is A LOT of blood, Bruce you're a doctor, you can help right?" Phil carefully placed Clint on the bed, his eyes pleading with Bruce.

"Bruce what do you need?" Natasha finally spoke up

"Natasha just take Phil to clean up while I check on Clint, there is nothing else anyone can do right now" Bruce said looking at the bloodstains on Phil's pants.

Bruce began checking Clint's head wound "Jarvis please show me Clint's SHIELD medical file" he said as the screen next to him came to life with all of Clint's information.

"As requested sir, the medical team has a ETA of 5 minutes" JARVIS announced.

"Thank you Jarvis, I'm going to need to do a head scan, is that possible in this ward?" he asked

"Yes sir the computer to your left is booting up for the necessary scans" JARVIS responded.

Natasha was still standing next to Phil admiring how Banner just seemed at ease in the room. "Come on Phil lets allow Banner to get some work done" she said as she slipped her arm around him and ushered him out of the room.

Outside the room Steve met up with them, helping Tasha catch Phil as he collapsed out of sheer emotional overload. Steve's eyes met Natasha's trying to figure out what was going on, as they carried him to the couch. Steve pulled Natasha to the side just out of Phil's hearing range "Red, what the hell is going on? Why is Phil covered in Blood?" Natasha sighed "Clint's back luck has struck again, he fell and hit his head badly, Bruce is checking for any cranial damage" Steve just nodded.

Bruce was cleaning up the wound on Clint's head as the scan finished "Clint are we going to have to buy you a good luck charm" he said to the unconscious archer.

"Sir the MRI scan looks clear" JARVIS said "Do you still need the medical team?"

"No that's fine Jarvis, I think I can deal with our unlucky archer" Bruce began to bandage up Clint's head and check his pupils reaction with his flashlight.

Phil had curled up on the couch trying to block out the visions of Clint falling playing over and over again, his tears soaking into the couch.

Natasha's heart broke as she watched Phil break down again, He hand went on a search of Steve's hand, squeezing it hoping that she never has to feel like this about him. Bruce finally came out of the medical room, looking at Natasha and Steve. "Clint has no Cranial damage or swelling, we don't know the full extent until he wakes up" Bruce walked up to the couch "Phil, Clint will make a full recovery!"

Natasha sat next to Phil, running her hand across his back trying to calm him down "See Phil he will be fine, he's always been a hard headed son of a bitch" she smiled as Phil lifted his head up.

"Thank you Bruce" Phil said "Can I see him?" he said as he stood up

"Of course" Banner said as he walked with Phil to the medical room " He is stable, we just have to wait for him to wake up" he let a reassuring smile flash on his face.

Phil sat down next to the bed lacing his hand into Clint's "Bruce this is my fault, I'm the reason he fell. Why would I push him! I'm such an idiot!" Phil felt his face flush

Bruce realized what Phil had admitted and how it could affect his job and relationship if the info got in the wrong hands. "Phil he will be fine" he placed his hand on Phil's shoulder "And so will you"

Clint was running through his mind, lost

He couldn't find anything familiar it was almost like he was in someone else's brain, all these memories he couldn't place, until he found his brother.

"Barney what's going on, where am i? why am I running?"

"Brother its time to wake up"
