Angel Farris was once a wild child who has since been hardened by her loss and bitterness towards the past. Now, she has managed to fall into the life of a mercenary, prowling the streets at night for her next targets. Even with her brother's persistent need to be in her life, she chose to lead a solitary one and never remained in one place for too long.

The moment she stops, the authorities will be onto her.

Clint Barton is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best agents and has managed to climb up the ranks, all through his own determination and grit. Yet, the regret of leaving his family behind nagged at him every other night. When he finally returned to Tiboldt's Traveling Circus, he found that the damned thing had burned down years ago, and there was no trace of them anywhere.

He didn't want to believe that he had truly left them for dead.

In which two torn hearts find a chance to come alive again.
