Welcome back for chapter five. We're now in Agent Barton's point of view. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and my idea. Everything else is property of Marvel and those who created it.
Side Note: I will be including a language along with my OC, a language that goes with her home planet of Torvoria. I'll include definitions with words that I've created, so have no fear. If they sound like another word from a foreign language, it's just happenstance. Also, this is dated Pre-Avengers and will most likely have a sequel that will be in the Avengers movie-verse. For the record, I'm not against Clintasha at all. I just happen to love Jeremy Renner and would like to see other options.
From Another World
Legion made it to the hangar and froze. "Legion, what's wrong?" She didn't say anything as she stared out into the hangar. I looked to see what got her attention and I felt my blood boil. Standing in the middle of the hangar, were six S.H.I.E.L.D agents taking pictures of themselves making goofy poses in front of Legion's ship. I wanted to shoot a hole through their camera lense but my bow was across the room on the table. I was about to yell at them when I heard the sound of a silenced shot being fired ring through the hangar, which was followed by the sound of a camera exploding. The agents turned to look at us and I looked at Legion, stunned at the accuracy of her shot. I watched as Legion tucked away her weapon, then I turned my attention to the agents.
"Agent Barton, sir, we were,"
"Save it and get lost before I decide to have some live target practice." The agents nodded and took off past us. "Fury will hear about this." I watched Legion walk to her ship and kick away the bits of camera on the floor. "I'm sorry about them, Legion. Not all of us know how to act around,"
"Aliens. I know what I am to you, Agent Barton."
"I don't see you that way. I know there are other things in this universe."
"However true that may be, most of your planet is full of people like your other agents." I watched Legion sit down at the table, put on her visor and go back to working on her systems. I sighed and walked over to my post, climbing the ladder before sitting down on the catwalk to watch Legion. A few more hours passed and Legion was now soldering and I could see little puff of smoke coming from the table. My radio chirped and I stood up to check it. "Barton."
"How are thing going, Agent Barton? Mind joining me on the ground?"
"Right away, sir." I climbed down the ladder and joined Director Fury by the door. "She's been working for hours on end but I have no idea how far she's gotten. I think we pulled every wire out of her ship."
"Every wire?" I nodded. "She'll be here a while, then."
"She said that it would take some time. Sir, we ran into some agents in the hangar earlier,"
"I saw. They were dealt with. Agent Barton?"
"Yes, sir?"
"What does she look like without the helmet?"
"Human but she said that she has this ability called glamour so I don't know what she really looks like."
"Doesn't really matter to you, does it?" I shook my head but then Fury's words sank in.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You said yourself that you don't see her as an alien."
"That's because I don't. Why does that matter?"
"It doesn't but apparently seeing what she really looks like doesn't matter either." I narrowed my eyes at Fury.
"Do you have this hangar bugged, sir?"
"No but it has surveillance cameras."
"With sound?"
"I only turn it on occasionally." I half-smiled and looked back at Legion. "Stay close to her."
"But not too close, sir?"
"I never said that." Director Fury just gave me a look and walked away. Fury always seemed to confuse me with some of the things he said. I looked back at Legion and she had her visor up as she rubbed her eyes. I walked back over to Legion and leaned up against the table.
"You alright?" Legion looked at me and I felt my mouth go dry. Alien or not, Legion was stunning.
"What was that, Clint?"
"I asked if you were alright. You look a little run down."
"Oh. I'm alright. This sort of thing takes a toll on my eyes."
"Would you like to take a break?" Legion nodded and stood up from her stool. She threw her visor on the table and started to walk around the hangar. "Something bothering you?"
"I'm just upset about my systems frying. That incident with the agents didn't help matter, though." Legion fell backwards against the wall and slowly slid down it. "It's no wonder we don't visit Earth anymore. Ignorance is worse than hate." I frowned, walked over to Legion and sat down next to her. I wanted to do something to make her feel better but I didn't know how she'd react. Then I thought back to what Fury said and decided to go for it. I slowly moved my arm and gently draped it over Legion's shoulders. Big mistake. In a split second, Legion grabbed my arm and flipped me on my back. She pulled my arm back behind my head, wrapped her legs around my neck and proceeded to choke me out.
"Legion, please let me go." My pleading made Legion tighten her grip on my neck and made it harder to breathe. I could hear her speaking another language, probably her native language, and it sounded like she was yelling at me. I tried to loosed the grip of Legion's legs on my neck but she wouldn't budge. "Legion...please. Trying...to...help." Legion let go of my arm and my neck, making me gasp for air.
"Sorry." I sat back up, rubbing my neck to try and soothe it. "Does it hurt?"
"A little. I've felt worse, trust me."
"I can help."
"It's no big deal." Despite my arguing, Legion put her hands on the back of my neck. I tensed for a moment but then I felt something massaging my neck. "What are you doing"
"I'm relaxing your neck. It's my fault it hurts."
"Don't blame yourself. I should've said something before I did that."
"What were you trying to do?"
"Comfort you. It looked like you were upset."
"Oh. Well, I am upset. Torvorians can't hide our emotions very well. We aren't used to this sort of treatment. Torvorians are friendly and get treated as such."
"Humans aren't the same way."
"I've noticed. You judge each other and yet preach how you shouldn't judge. You're very confusing creatures." I chuckled.
"Yeah, we are."
