The Agent's Daughter

He wrapped his arms around me, as he lifted me in the air.

He was clearly happy to see me.

“I see that you are happy to see me…”

I smiled. He grinned, as he leaned into kiss me.

“You have no idea…”

He whispered, as he pressed his lips against mine. I smiled, as I kissed him back.

I held on to him for dear as he spun me around, with his lips still on mine.

He set me down, his arms around my waist.

I rested my head on his chest, and sighed.

“What’s wrong?” He asked. “I figured out what I’m going to do……”

“So are you saying that, you’ve made a decision?” He asked me, uncertainly. I nodded.

“And…?” He asked, sounding a bit scared, and uncertain.

“Clint…” I said gently, lifting my head up from his chest, and looking him in the eyes.

I saw a small tear form in his eye. My heart melted.

“Clint…” I said, soothingly, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, and hugged him, tightly.

“Clint………” I said, soothingly. “I’m staying here…” I said, quickly. Clint looked at me.

“What?” He asked me; in surprise.

I smiled up at him.

“I’m staying, you almost lost me once, and you’re not going to lose me again…you promised me that anyways…”

I smiled.

He picked me up in his arms, and kissed me.

I was home.

I was with Clint.

I belonged here.

I belonged on earth.

I belonged with Clint.

I belonged in his arms...forever.

I was finally where I belonged.

And there was no way that I was leaving any time soon.

My life was here.

A thought strayed into my mind.

Maybe the Avengers Initiative wasn’t such a bad idea after all…
