Hayden POV


It was close to 2Am and I couldn't settle down, Fury's words echoing in my mind, Pietro was out with some of the avengers, doing who knows what,

I was looking at the ceiling,

I sighed sitting up in the bed, I got dressed and walked into the training room once more, it was empty,

Good I thought, I walked towards the bow,

My hand shaking as I reached for it,

Come on Hayden stop being such a coward, I thought as I reached for it, I grasped it, taking a deep breath, I felt along the grasp of the bow, and the worn bowstring,

I sighed, this was my first bow, and I left it behind for a reason, I thought

I let out a ragged breath, looking at my left hand that had the grasp, the beautiful diamond engagement ring,

Do I want to risk this? I thought

"You know it is okay to miss it," I hear

I spin around seeing Wanda,

I place the bow back down,

"But I shouldn't," I said

"I mean look at.." I said

"I know," She said walking towards me,

"He told me about Paris, but your not like that anymore," She said

"Only because I haven't.." I said

"Picked it up since I know," She said smiling at me,

"I just don't want to be like that anymore, I mean look what I almost risked that night," I said

She nodded,

"But your not, you saved us," She said smiling at me,

She smiled at me, then walked out,

I looked at the bow,

Okay, Okay you can do this, I thought

I grabbed it tightly, grabbing an arrow,

I looked at the target across the room,

I pulled back, the bowstring close to my cheek as I looked at the target, taking a deep breath, and let go and it hit dead center at the bullseye,

I pulled out another arrow, same thing, bullseye after bullseye,

"Haven't lost your touch princess," I hear

I turn around,

"I was just.." I said

"It's alright I know," He said walking over to me,

He took my hand in both of his,

"I know you won't go back to that," He said

"Mm," I said

He slid his hands down my arms until they were on my hips,

"But it does worry me, you seem distracted lately," He said as his lips moved down my neck,sending goosebumps across my skin,

I nodded,

"Fury came to me," I whispered,

He pulled away looking at me,

"What?" He asked

"What?" He asked
