Natasha distantly eyed Clint as he and Felicia went into the empty hallway. She didn't want him anywhere alone with that girl, but she knew it was for the sake of the mission. She tried to keep her mind off of things that she could do to him and turned on her bluetooth so she was able to hear whatever was going on with them.
"You and you… friend," Demeter said, interrupting her thoughts, "Killed some of my men a few weeks ago. I didn't like that."
"Well you have enough money; I figured you would just buy yourself some more," Natasha replied.
Demeter chuckled.
So, have you figured out what I want yet? Natasha heard Felicia ask Clint in the bluetooth.
Dammit Clint, Natasha thought to herself, Get away from her. She wanted to go and find Clint and leave. She was so scared of what Felicia was going to do to him.
"Such beauty," he said stroking Natasha's cheeks, "It'll be a shame to watch you die when I could use you for so many other purposes."
Natasha tried not to cringe in fear at the thought of the "other purposes" he had in mind.
And I'm sorry, but you'll have to get that from some other guy. NOW NATASHA, Clint screamed into the bluetooth.
Natasha immediately acted on instinct and kicked Demeter in the crotch, punching him strongly in the jaw as he knelt in pain. Natasha took out her gun from under her dress and pointed it at Demeter.
"Everybody get out" Natasha screamed as the party guest fled the room in fright, "Now you're going to let my partner go and you're going to give us the information on the weapons!"
Demeter smiled menacingly, "Mrs. Theron got to him first!"
Tears formed in Natasha's eyes.
"What did you do to him?" She demanded, picking Demeter up and holding him over her head, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"
Demeter laughed coldly. Natasha could hear Clint over the bluetooth moaning in pain.
"Clint," Natasha whimpered into the bluetooth, "Clint, are you alright?"
"Natasha, I-I'm fine…," Clint lied painfully over the earpiece, "What's happening?"
"It's too late for him now," Demeter said menacingly, looking down at Natasha, "He'll bleed out before you reach him…."
Natasha screamed, tears rolling down her face. She lifted the gun in her right hand to Demeter's forehead. The gunshot rang out and bounced off of the wall in the empty ballroom. Demeter fell from her grasp, lifeless as a rag doll, and crumpled to the floor; dark blood streamed from the single shot in his forehead.
Natasha placed the gun back in her garter, took off her high heels and ran straight for where Clint and Felicia had gone. She found Clint lying on the floor in the deserted hallway, caressing his bleeding side. She ran to him, ripping her black dress just enough so you could see the hidden gun and covered his wound.
"Dammit Clint," Natasha cried, applying pressure to his side, "I knew that something like this was going to happen if you came in here with her ALONE!"
"Nat, I wasn't planning on doing anything with her. I was just trying to get the scoop on Demeter. Did he get away?"
Natasha looked down. Clint followed her gaze and landed on the gun resting in her garter.
"Nat?"
"I killed him," she said, almost remorsefully, "I killed him."
"Nat, he had the information that we needed… AH," Clint said as Natasha pressed too hard on his injury.
"I'm sorry," She said caressing his hand, bloodied from holding his side, "He was twisting my mind. He put it in my head that you were only minutes from dying and from what you sounded like over the bluetooth, I was pretty convinced he was right!"
Clint laughed painfully, "Tasha, it would take more than just a stab wound to kill me!"
"Ha ha," Natasha laughed sarcastically, "I'd like to see you get up and walk on your own, Hawky!"
Clint pushed up on the wall and slowly rose to his feet, clutching his dressed wound. He proudly limped two steps forward then stumbled and almost fell as Natasha got under him for support.
"Come on, Superman," Natasha said, wrapping Clint's arm around her shoulder, "We've got to find that little slut before she gets the word out to Demeter's men."
The Next Chapter will be an Interrogation Chapter between Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Felicia, so just be prepared for some intense s***… :P
