Part II: BUDAPEST

This is what has happened;

In Budapest, things got FUBAR'd almost immediately. Even the best laid plans can go haywire, but when your intelligence on the target is in the regular class rather than up in the advanced group where it needs to be and your nearest back-up is 200 miles away and there's someone else out there almost as good as you are, things can go to hell in a handbasket pretty quickly.

This is what has happened;

When you're trying to cover your partner and save civilian lives at the same time, sometimes hard choices have to be made. Sometimes those choices wind up adding red to your ledger rather than wiping it out.

.

This is what has happened, but this is what I know;

In Budapest, I had to make a difficult call. Am I convinced it was the right one? Absolutely. Does that make it any easier?

Absolutely not.

A/N: I would like to apologize in advance to all the fans of Bobbi Morse and Mockingbird out there. My OTP is BlackHawk, not BirdBrains, and therefore the only way this little drabble series works is if Nat hates Bobbi and Bobbi is a bimbo. I know she's badass; I even think she is. But she needs to keep her claws off of Clint.

'Nuff said.
