Authors note- Thank you for your reviews, I love knowing your thoughts! Anyway so i'm writing here in school so I can help dish out these stories a little faster. I do not own anything Marvel, The Avengers, or Hawkeye.
"What do you mean you don't know? You lock this Surtur punk away and don't know all of his escape plans and emergency plan B's just in case stuff like this happens! At least when my generation locked bad guys away we had a back up plan on how to kill him again!" Anubis yelled throwing his hands in the air before pointing at the Norse god accusingly. A spike of anger flashed in Thor's eyes and the distant sound of thunder could be heard above their heads.
"Do not accuse me dog! How was I to know Surtur would come back and plague this realm."
"You always suspect! And who are you calling a dog sunshine? Last time I checked you were underground which is my turf so I wouldn't go around ticking people off." Anubis snapped back standing on his toes to look Thor in the eye. In his human form he was a lanky unfrightening teenage looking boy, but Dena knew if he was pushed he would turn.
"Okay this is just to much testosterone to handle, so unless you boneheads want to battle it out in this dark danky basement I suggest we take our winnings and go. Besides this place is creepier then hell and you know how I feel about being underground." Thor shook his head as Anubis just snarled grabbing the map and leading the way. Exiting the small building Dena led them to where the Iron Man had said to come back if everything was good to go or they had a strategical retreat.
"Stop! Thor, Anubis, Dena you are all going into SHIELD custody for the safety of our crew. Anubis, Thor you are also under custody for suspicious circumstances until you can prove your innocents!" A SHIELD official called from the trees as many SHIELD agents came from their hiding places in the woods. Dena, being used to not being trusted complied even holding her hands up. Seeing this Anubis reluctantly did the same but not with out a few foul words and ugly looks. Thor did not take this lightly like the others did.
"I will prove to you I am not under or working with Enchantress!"
"Hey just do what your told or your going to get the whole class in trouble." Dena said smartly sitting on a rock with two armed guards watching her every move.
"No, I am a Avenger!"
"And thats why we are going to get this all cleared up as soon as possible, but until then just listen to the guards and Dena." Iron Man rang out returning with the rest of the group. When Clint took Cas into custody she gave him the antidote to the sleeping powder she used to subdue Steve and Tony. He stuck close to her side as she was directed to sit where Dena and Anubis were. A quin jet arrived to load the team up and take Enchantresses body to the helicarrier for further investigation. An agent approached Steve and Cas listened to their conversation.
"We think she's dead, but were not sure. You know things like this happen and the bad ones always seem to come back sooner or later."
"Alright keep us informed if anything strange happens, and I mean even if its a tiny movement contact Fury and the team and I as soon as possible."
"Yes Captain." Dena led the lead into the quin jet taking a seat in specially designed restraints Stark industries created for things much bigger then her. The other suspects were herded along with her and given the same treatment.
"Nice to see you playing for the good side again Castalia!"
"Shut up."
After being escorted by armed guards to one of many of the helicarrier's interrogating rooms. Clint asked to be the backup but was kindly denied and Steve had to sit there in the room with me. Times like these I really wished Clint was there by my side.
"Castalia I am going to make this quick..."
"Directory Fury I have had a very long and agonising journey up until this point. I have fallen as a hunter and let many of my friends get hurt. Even worse I have stained my hands red with blood of innocent people, women and children all thinking I was a protector murdered in cold blood. If you ask me I should be put away even though I was under control. I am a hunter and allowed myself to follow another leader other then the huntress herself and for that I should pay in blood." I stated staring directly into his one good eye. I did not show and fear or anger in my words but let them come out as cold hard truths. He remained quiet I guess considering my words. I could read people like a book, but Fury was like a book with smudged writing and pages torn out. I would think one thing about his expressions and he would completely come with something different.
"I don't care what your goddess or hunters expect of you Castalia. I wanted you to take responsibility for your actions then get back to work. Bad things happen people get their minds taken over nowadays. You think any of us prepare for those kind of things? No, we just hunker down and do our best to tough it out through everything, that's what I like about you Cas. You proved to me to be a very reliable in the heat of battle, even though you have made questionable decisions in the last couple of weeks I think we can move on past this incident. In fact maybe you wouldn't mind working for an agency, I heard SWORD is always looking for new agents."
"What about SHIELD?"
"We can look over somethings, but not everything Cas. Besides I need Agent Barton on his tip top and with you around he will probably drive everyone insane." Fury glanced at the camera knowing Clint was watching. I smiled and thanked his for the offer, who knows I could become a great agent! Stepping out of the room I went to the Avengers meeting room to see Steve, Tony, Thor and Anubis looking at the map we brought back from Enchantresses camp. Tony was busy looking at a holographic map of the location while Steve was thinking about battle plans. Dena was just listening to him telling him every single flaw or possible thing that go wrong with his plans. Thor and Anubis seemed to be arguing again for some reason. My eyes wandered trying to find Clint. I sat by Bruce as he welcomed me back.
"Hey I know it's none of my business but if you need someone to talk to I am here. Some of the other agents are giving you that look that I see everyday. Lets just say I know what its like to be on everyone's not trust worthy list."
"Oh so you noticed the uneasy vibes and whispers too." I said recalling some of the other agents looks when I was being escorted to the interrogation room. I knew that some of them I could convince to follow me again like they did before, but some will always see me as the mind controlled archer who killed countless people. I didn't like that feeling of hatred they would throw my way so I could only imagine what Bruce felt.
"Thanks Bruce." I said sending a friendly smile towards him. Natasha and Clint finally arrived in the meeting room taking a seat waiting for something to happen. I never would tell either of them this but seeing them paired together just looked right. Almost like they were made to be partners together, it seemed almost weird for me as Clint's girlfriend to say that about him and another woman but I didn't mind. It was truth and you can't deny the truth.
"Okay boys and girls tell me what the world is up against now." Fury announced walking into the meeting room and taking his place at the head of the table with Maria Hill at his side.
"Whoever is causing all these incidents is wanting to release Surtur, a Asgardian problem they thought they had on lock down." Tony addressed making the hologram appear for everyone to see. I didn't really pay much attention, something out of my nature, but instead watched the people in the room. My eyes drifted over to Clint's and I saw he wasn't paying much attention either as he sent me cocky grin and a wink that made me smile. The thing I loved and hated most about Clint was that smile he would show. It was a cocky grin that made him seem brash or arrogant but in the heat of battle was more.
"Hey is it just me or the people with the bows and arrows not listening? This is kind of important you two so pay attention." Tony said irritated that my world wasn't revolving around him at the moment. Clint just laughed and I began to listen. He said something about some location in Iceland and how everything was there.
"So what are we waiting for what's the plan?" Clint asked impatiently and Thor stood up proudly.
"Surtur is very powerful and it took both me and Odin to lock him away, but if we can stop the person behind it we will not have to go against him and he will remain locked away forever." I thought about it for a second. Who was Enchantress in contact with that would be wanting to unlock Surtur. Then it hit me.
"Nobodies behind the curtain."
"What do you mean Cas?" Steve asked and now everyone was looking at me curiously. I got up in a flash and ran down to where they where keeping Enchantresses body.
"Cas what are you doing?" Clint said following me with the rest of the Avengers following close behind most likely thinking I was under some kind of mind control again.
"She's gone! I mean Surtur is using her to do everything, that means there is no hidden agenda but escape!... Why are you guys all in attack position?" I turned seeing all of them ready to pounce if I even attempted to move. They lowered their defences as I pointed at the empty table where the witch used to lay.
"Sorry about that Cas. Well if what you say is right then I have a plan." Steve said a bright smile spreading across his face to everyone else's.
"Are you sure this plan will work, it took both Odin the all father and I to lock Surtur away." Thor said listening to Steve as he explained our mission to stop the rise of Surtur. I heard Anubis laugh at Thor before beginning his gloating. His arrogance almost matched Tony's, almost.
"Yeah but remember you have a real god on your side now." I left tired from having a long complicated day. Stepping into my room I took a long hot shower and stepped out still feeling the dirty feeling of Enchantresses magic on my skin.
"I wont ever be the same again, but I promise you Enchantress or Surtur you will pay."
"Don't be hard on yourself Cas." Clint spoke out softly from the corner of the room. I was so fixated on hating them that I hadn't heard him enter.
"Clint don't I am a big girl I can hate who ever I choose. Besides I am just glad to be back." He stood up from leaning against the door walking towards me. Taking my chin in his hands he stole a soft kiss from my lips as I clutched a towel to my naked form.
"I am to, now you wont need a towel where I am planning on taking this." He sent that same devilish smirk I saw earlier and we spent the night in the small room together. I woke up in the early hours of the night and saw Clint lying there asleep. I saw the rise in his chest he breathed peacefully until my name was called out.
"Castalia."
"Who is it?" I spoke barley over a whisper making sure not to wake Clint. To my surprise it was Athena who stepped silently out of the shadows.
"Hello Castalia I see you have came out of the Asgardian witches clutches."
"What are you doing here goddess." I said pulling the sheets up to cover both me and a very nude Clint from the goddess. Last thing I need is to be showing one of the fiercest gods of Olympus to much skin.
"I came here to warn you Castalia. You see I had a glimpse of you losing everything you hold dearest. I am afraid the one you love will be lost, I am truly sorry."
"You mean to say Clint's going to die on this mission?" I asked my heart swelling up in my throat as I looked at him peacefully sleeping away. I couldn't believe she would tell me this, why would she tell me something so terrible in my vulnerable state like this.
"I know you are upset sister, but I came here not to hurt you but to help you. Take my warning and use it to your advantage, with this knowledge you can stop it from happening. Remember that the future is always changing and anyone has the power to alter it." With that she was gone leaving me in tears. There it goes to show the gods and other mystical powers are always messing up everything that goes good in my life.
"No, they cant take you away to." I said crawling over to Clint and crying into his back. He woke up then and turned over to see what was wrong.
"Cas why are you crying?" I didn't have the nerve to tell him, so I kept my mouth shut and lied.
"Nothing, just a nightmare." He sat up and pulled me into his lap kissing my lips before rubbing the tears away.
"Your such a terrible liar." He rubbed my back and kissed my neck softly as I cried into his shoulder. I hated being so defenseless like this, but for some reason Clint could make me just open up and cry. I felt him kiss my lips again and knew this was going to turn into more as his way of cheering me up. His hands were skillfully guiding me to my back when Steve opened the door.
"Um sorry if I was interrupting but Fury needs you both in the meeting room."
