Authors note- Okay first let me start with a HUGE thank you to kcollins720 for leaving that wonderful review that made my day! I love when my readers tell me what they want and think because when I write I usually go by just winging it. On a totally random note anyone go to comic con? I so want to go one day, maybe as a famous writer or something. Or as a fan, but I can dream right? The Avengers, Hawkeye, and anything Marvel does not belong to me!
I remeber being shot in the chest, but I didn't remember waking up in the woods. I had my bow and quiver, but no bullet wound in the chest. It was a creepy kind of woods that was foggy and dark. "Shit, Im dead right." I heard a thundering laugh from behind me and loaded my bow.
"You are not dead daughter, no simple mortal bullet could kill a daughter of Zeus." I saw a older man with electric blue eyes and dark hair and beard. He was right I guess not dead, but in some kind of nightmare where I have to see my father.
"You're not my father. I thought I already made that clear a long time ago Zeus."
"Yes, you would think one would have more respect and lower their bow. I saved you from Artemis you know. I put my name on the line and you treat me in such a way!" He roared at me. I still kept my bow up as he walked toward me. I don't care who he thinks he is, my father was the man who raised me not this clown.
"Well I thank you for that, but what do you want?"
"I just wanted to see my daughter while she was wounded."
"Great job, you just won the dad of the year award!" I taunted him sarcasticly.
"Just like me you are brave and kneal to know one, but you are a great mortal hero and I need someone to represent me on Earth. So I am going to jump start your healing process. Make me proud Castalia." With a snap of his fingers I shot up in a bed. My vision was blurry, but I could make out I was in a hospital room. I grabbed all of the wires running in and out of my body and yanked them out. I slipped my legs out of the bed and touched the cold tile floor. After a few minutes of self encouragement I stood. I grabbed the I.V and walked out of the room. Quickly I noticed I was on the helicarrier, and made my way to the meeting room. I opened the door and saw Tony and Steve going over some plans. Tony glanced up then shot up in surprize.
"She is back from the land of the dead and is walking around!"
"Cas, what are you doing up?" Steve rushed to my side and sat me down in a chair.
"Are you okay?" I asked a small smile appearing on my lips.
"I am fine. I rushed you to the helicarrier as soon as I could, but the doctors said you went into a coma."
"How long?" I asked. I didn't really want to know the answer because what if I ended up like Cap or some sort of Twilight Zone episode.
"Two weeks going on three."
"Dad sure did take his sweet ass time to come and get me." I mumbled mostly to myself until I heard a crack of lightning.
"Are you in any pain?"
"Not really but I am hiped up on painkillers. What happened while I was out?"
Clint was only gone out of Cas's hospital room for five seconds to get a soda when he saw her bed was empty. "You have got to be kidding me!" He dropped everything in his hands and went sprinting towards the meeting room. "Guys we have a emergency Cas got up out of the bed and is in here sitting with you." Clint just stared as she raised her head to his voice.
"Hey Clint."
"Hey Clint is all you have to say! Don't you ever take a bullet to the chest again, you hear me! You had me worried sick you were done. I don't know what I have done if you were dead right now and to top it all off you got up from a coma and walked your fine and dandy ass halfway across the helicarrier!" He yelled at her as she just listened looking like a sad puppy. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder then put a passionate kiss to her lips. He didn't care Tony was probably going to bring it up later, all he wanted was to know she was okay. She looked up in his eyes.
"I am sorry."
"No I am sorry I should have not yelled at you." She stood up and just snuggled right up to Clint.
"Well sorry to break up the reunion, but we were just telling Cas about our horrible plan to take down her attacker." Tony replied just smirking at them.
"Oh yeah Dena gave me this before she knocked me out."Clint handed her the little cardboard box and watched as she opened it. It had a card that read get well soon.
" It's a Ambrosia shot, why would she shoot me an send me something to get better?"
"What is a Ambrosia shot?" Steve asked as Cas injected herself with golden liquid.
"Necter of the gods. Dena discovered how to speed up its healing abilities by injecting it directly in your bloodstream."
"Oh." Was all he said as she started to look physically better.
"Dena said something about working for a guy named HYDRA."
"No that can't be right I thought the Cap took care of them a long time ago." Clint said as he watched Cas draw out a map of what looked like a base of some kind.
"Here is a basic map of the base where I took Dena when I got her. It's locked down pretty tight with security, but they are nothing SHIELD can't handle. The only big problems are Dena and her gang. I marked the points of entry we should take on this map."
"Glad to see you are up and doing my job for me." Fury said walking with Natasha behind him. He looked over the map and added all the details he saw were missing. "This looks like a solid plan, but you said Dena's gang?"
"Yeah she runs with a elite group of assassins and marksman, but nothing the Avengers have not seen. I will take care of Dena, she will be the only obstacle that requires special care." Clint just looked at her, there was no way he was going to let her get hurt on his watch ever again.
"No, you are going to stay here."
"Dena is my friend and she will chew you all up and spit you out. All the times you thought you were fighting Dena you were wrong, she was holding back. I am a hunter and I am not just going to sit back and watch you go in guns ablazing and get killed. If I go and die I will be just fine with it, but if you die I will always know it is my fault. So you are either with me or not, if the latter is true get out of my way." With that She walked over to Fury. "Where is my bow.?"
"Natasha will show you."
After Natasha took me to where the confiscated goods were I thought about what I said to Clint. I felt bad for telling him off when he only wanted to keep me safe. Maybe I will apologize.
"Cas are you crazy?" Or maybe I will just stay mad at him.
"No Clint I am perfectly sane."
"You took a bullet to the chest and you want to go back in."
"Clint, I might as well tell you, I am going to die a horrible, painful, violent death on the battle field all hunters do. So if I choose to save my friend and quiet possibly meet my violent demise at her hands I will choose to do so. I am sorry I yelled at you, but you must understand I love you and I would sit in the pits of Taurturus for you any day of the week. My mind is so foggy between you and what I am and mean as a hunter, I am sorry you fell in love with me because I may never truly love you." I said a small river of tears flowing down my cheek. I felt strong arms around my body and heard Clints heart im my ears.
"You forgot my promise."
"What's that?"
"I said I didn't care what happened, but I will wait for you to fall in love with me." He turned me around and gave me a passionate kiss. All his emotion poured into one thing. I was lucky to have him. The moments passed and led to the defiling of the confiscated goods vault. I layed in his arms till we heard Agent Romanoff outside.
"Fury wants to see you both." With that I heard her walk away.
"Thank god that wasn't Tony! I would never hear the end of it!" Clint said with a smile before pressing a kiss to my head.
