Sorry I haven't updated in a while, summer work just sucks really. BUT here is the next chapter! Let me know what you all think, and finally, enjoy.
It was really hard to tell what was the most difficult in the two years before Tasha's complete blindness.
First it was the first mission for S.H.I.E.L.D she wasn't capable of attending.
"Alright team, we all need to be focused, and at the top of our game. Loki's back and he knows what we have to dish out this time." Captain America reported to his teammates. "Hawkeye and Black Widow, you take the tower, everyone knows you work best together." He stated. "Thor and Hulk work together as much as you can. Iron Man, you're with me."
"Whatever you say Spangley!" Tony proclaimed closing his helmet. Tasha and I took off toward Stark tower.
"Clint, I'll take the south and you take north, I've got your back." This was how we started every mission, A pep talk from Cap, breaking up into the same groups, then Tasha taking the south. I liked it this way. I felt most safe with Natasha having my back compared to anyone else.
But there was something a little different about today. There was a bit of a shaky start when we were getting ready this morning. She was searching all up and down the floor looking for the red bracelet I gave her that she wears on every mission. After about 10 minutes I realized what she was looking for, and it was on the counter in the bathroom where she gets ready each morning. In a way I was surprised that she missed it, but before I said anything I caught my tongue and realized I shouldn't. She didn't want anything said about it just as much as I didn't want to believe what was happening.
One of my favorite things about Tasha was her ability to make even fighting look like a ballet routine. If I wasn't busy fighting my own bad guys I would watch her more because it's like watching a performance, just with more dead people.
As we were fighting a bunch of Loki's goons I took a glace over at Tasha in between arrow shots, and I realized something was right. Her movements weren't as fluid, and she had almost gotten hit by a few stray bullets.
"I'm coming to back you up Natasha!" I shouted. I knew she needed me, even if she didn't. We were fighting side by side, just like in Budapest. Then all of a sudden a large amount of Loki's army came at us at once, and I had this feeling of impending doom. The bullets started coming faster and more frequently. Thor had joined us and started picking some of them off with lightning. Natasha was looking all around, but wasn't getting out of the way of the gun fire. The bullets missing her by pure luck. All of a sudden I noticed several guns pointed directly at her head from across the tower. I tried to jump in the way, but the last thing I remembered was a sharp pain in my shoulder, a Hulk landing in front of us, and darkness.
