                                                      Hayden POV 


I was in one of the abandoned warehouses looking at my reflection, my lip was cut, I had a cut, from my temple to my eyebrow, blood oozed out of the cut as red and purple formed around the cut, 

Some of the other injuries were not too bad, 

You see I ambushed HYDRA selling weapons to a bunch of thugs, 

Sure I took them all down, but some of them got a few cheap shots, I look at my watch, it's three in the morning, 

Ah, they probably are all asleep won't notice me missing, no one ever notices me missing, 

After a long walk, I walked into the lobby in regular clothes, with my weapons and outfit in a backpack, I get to the main floor, 

It was dark, no one around or so I thought a I tip toed, suddenly a light turned on, Clint and Nat, 

"Busy night?" Nat said not sounding happy 

"Where were you?" Clint asked 

"Out" I said 

I finally turn around, they both look at me worried, Clint gripped my chin turning my head, 

"Jesus Hayden," Clint said 

I yanked my chin away, 

"It's fine, just a little cut," I said 

"That is more than a little cut," Nat said crossing her arms 

"FRIDAY get Bruce," Clint said 

"It's fine," I said about to leave, 

"Hayden, were going to see Banner," Nat said 

"Now," Clint said 

I sighed finally following them, 

I sat on the table, as Bruce dabbed the cut, trying to stop the bleeding, 

Now Bucky and Steve were in here as well since the super soldiers never sleep, I thought 

"Jeez Hayden what got you?" Bruce said 

"I think it was a machete," I said as I winced since he put alcohol on it, 

"This is going to need stitches," He said 

"Do what you have to," I said in a dull tone 

"What the hell were you thinking?" Bucky said 

"I was thinking, I needed to hit something other than Tony," I said 

I heard Clint chuckle, 

"What he said got to you?" Nat said 

"Don't know what your talking about," I said 

Bruce started stitching my forehead, 

"We do have a training room," Steve said 

"I needed a different outlet, besides I needed to think," I said 

"Well you won't be doing any 'thinking' for a while," Bucky said 

I just rolled my eyes, 

"You might want to get some sleep, tomorrow first thing you and me are doing some intense training until you tell me where you were," Nat said 

I just rolled my eyes as Bruce finished 

"There that should do it," Bruce said 

"Thank you," I said hopping down from the table 

I started walking down the hall, 

"Hayden are you going to tell us what this is about?" Clint said 

I turned around to look at all four of them, 

"Look I-" I began but stopped 

"Forget it you wouldn't understand," I said walking away, but someone grabbed my wrist 

I looked and seen Bucky, 

"What wouldn't we understand," He said glaring at me

"Let me go," I said glaring 

I have a small thing about being touched especially when I don't want to be touched it just triggers flash backs, 

"Not until you explain," He said 

I felt my anger flare, 

I was trying to be calm.

"I said... let... go," I said with venom in my voice 

I think he seen the look in my eyes he let go, 

"I need to go," I said walking away, 


                                      Clint POV 


I seen the look in her eyes, when Bucky stopped her, Just as I think we are getting through to her, she puts that barrier back up, but the look in her eyes was a mix of anger and fear, I've never seen fear in her eyes before it's alway the anger, 

I get it, her parents did a number on her, but we are trying to help, why is she still so angry, I thought 

Nat put a hand on my shoulder, 

"Don't worry I'll get through to her, tomorrow," She said 

I nodded 

You see we have a plan, Nat is going to train with her tomorrow but she's not gonna go easy on her, Hayden only responds with anger, so were gonna use that in our favor so she finally understands were here to help her, I thought 

"I just hope this doesn't back fire," I said 

"It won't," She said 

With that we all went into our rooms to sleep,
