Clint’s Point of view

We walked in with her, and I heard Fury say, “Take this girl to a holding chamber. Barton, Romanoff. Follow me....” Her eyes grew wide with alarm, when they mentioned ‘’holding chamber,’ and I pitied her.

Before they took her away, I bent down, and I whispered to her, “I won’t let them hurt you. Okay? I promise. Just give some time…” She looked up at me, and she had trust in her eyes, her eyes had a pleading look to them. I knew I couldn’t let her down. They took her away, and I caught up with Nat and Fury. We arrived in Fury’s office, and he told us to sit down.

“What are you going to do with her?” I asked him.

“I haven’t decided yet…”

“If you hear her story, you’ll understand what I am trying to say…”

“Are you trying to imply that she is innocent?”

“No sir I-“

“Are you trying to say that I should take her word for whatever she says?”

"No sir I-"

“Then I have absolutely no need to listen to thi-“

“CAN YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR A MINUTE!?” I knew I could get fired for this, but I couldn’t care less. I made a promise to her, and I didn’t plan on breaking that promise to her, especially after what she had been through. Fury needed to hear her story, before he did anything to her. He glared at me for a moment, and Natasha gave me a surprised look.

Fury sighed and he said to me, “Alright, Barton. Say what you have to say, but it better be worth my time, or you’ll be out of a job…”

“I overheard her talking to the doctor, and I recorded her conversation with the doctor…”

“By all means play it…” Fury said. I took out the CD I had placed the recording on, and I played it. Fury’s forehead crinkled up, when he heard the things that were said. When the conversation was over. I turned to him expectantly.

He pressed his ear piece, “Agent Hill, I want you to send me the files that were sent to the New York Police Department last night…I want them immediately.”


The files finally came in, and Fury looked them over.

“I have the information now. Now Barton what do you expect me to do with it?”

“Just give her a chance. Give her an opportunity to help the world…”

“What do you propose Agent Barton?”

“Test her a bit, and then after seeing what she can do, consider adding her as another assassin or spy. Something like Nat and I sir…”

He paused to consider it for a moment, before continuing. “Fine. But remember Barton if this turns out badly, the consequences are on you…”

“That’s fine with me sir…”

He smiled, “Let’s go get Fang…”
