tw: swearing, mention of blood\injury

clint barton pov

natasha was looking at her phone. and was that a smile? new boyfriend? i almost laughed aloud at this concept. maybe peter introduced her to tiktok... oh or steve and bucky fanfiction. if not i definitely should.

crash

and i had leaned on the wrong part of the vent.
"what the bleep clint"
"not even a hey... how are you"
natasha was staring daggers at me. my flight or fight response slowly kicking in. i chose to ignore it wrong choice
"so who are you texting nat?"
"that is not your business"
"we keeping secrets now"
"i always have been." and with that rather ominous response i watched her stroll out of the room, tightly gripping her phone

rosies pov
2:43 am
"frick you, having the audacity to stab me. you who just got his ass handed to him by a fucking fifteen year old. i hope the cops thr0w your ass in jail. who in their right mind robs a pet store" i was yelling at the 3 men who i had just caught trying to steal money from my local pet shop in queens. they currently all had gags in their mouth and were tied to a lamppost, so i wasn't expecting much of a response. despite only being 5'2, i had increased strength, speed and agility as a result of my father experimenting on me from a young age. he and my mother bother died when i was 12 meaning i lived with my uncle. he was a great guy- parenting skills somewhat sub par but he'd only been doing it for a couple years. my parents were not great people however. that isn't to say i was happy they were gone only that it wasn't the most depressing thing in my life. anyway... stab wound ... shit. i was currently running to my uncles apartment knowing he had the night shift and i would be home alone. without peters number (it was sunday so i could get it off him tomorrow) there was only one person left to text... ms.red.
as i got home i clambered into ,the bathroom and sat on the floor biting my lip in an attempt not to scream. i slipped my phone out of my pocket and began typing
