Avengers Imagines

Clint | The Alleyway Part 2

Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... It was constant and rhythmical. Beth listened to it, realising that it wasn't her alarm. Her eyes opened and the first thing she saw was a man in a hoodie. What man? Gosh. It was like Twilight with amnesia.

His head snapped up. "How are you feeling?"

Looking at his eyes? Butterflies invaded her stomach and immediately and the beeps went faster. Ah crap.

She looked away. "I'm fine... Why am I in the hospital?"

He sighed. "You lost a lot of blood."

"Wait." The memories came back and she stared at him, wide eyed. "You're the one who saved me?"

He nodded.

"Thanks..."

He nodded and stood up. "Well you're ok now." He smiled at her before walking over and placing a kiss on her forehead. The beeps came faster and she blushed. His eyes pierced her. All she could feel was thankful.

Then he started moving to the door.

"Where are you going?!" she asked, slightly panicked.

"You're fine, Beth."

"How do you know my - " She looked down to the tag around her wrist. "Oh. Right."

He chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll see you around."

Then he left.

She stared at the empty spot in the room that had once been filled by her mystery man.

Her family began pouring in.

*****

Beth sat in the diner, not knowing where she was waiting for. She heard the door open and her head snapped up. Nope. She went back to drinking her milkshake.

"Hey," she heard.

She recognised that voice. She turned around and sitting there was Ricky.

She almost groaned. "Are you serious? You owe fifty thousand dollars?!"

He shrugged. "Swapped it off for a finger." He held up his hand, missing an index which was a stump that had been burnt to stop blood loss. He chuckled at it, amused. "And a kidney." He pulled up his shirt to reveal a bandaged up torso. He poked it and chuckled some more.

She could've vomited, but she didn't. "That's disgusting."

He dropped the shirt. "Oh come on, Beth. Come back to me. Please, babe. I'm debt free and I'm pretty sober."

"No. We're over. I told you - "

"You're gonna break up with me?!" He stood up, towering over her. "You're gonna break up with me?!"

A hand stopped on his chest. "Do we have a problem here?"

Ricky stared at the man who saved her. "What. You her new boyfriend? Huh, Beth? Replaced me so fast?"

"Ricky stop - you're making a scene - "

"No. You shut up." His hand met her face, then a fist met his.

A fight broke out and it was no surprise when Ricky cried mercy.

Beth grabbed the mystery man by the shoulder and he turned. "Who are you?" she asked.

He punched Ricky once more. "Call me Clint."
