What Were You Expecting? (-clint-)

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia Raven Smith had been called for a mission and was waiting by the hellicarrier that would take her and her newly assigned partner, Clint Barton , to where they needed to be. She cracked her knuckles, her hand going to the chain around her neck, the two intertwined rings visible against the grey of her SHIELD uniform, stiff, sleek and new.

She checked her watch, her old one not the one that she would be given (by Clint himself) when this one was smashed. As she stood there, waiting she had no clue what her future held for never once had the future she saw been her own. Little did she know, in the future she would be able to turn her powers to anyone.

[Clint Barton]

It was time for a new mission and Clint Barton was on his way to the hellcarrier as his new partner was standing there waiting for him. He sighed and wondered what it would be working with a new partner. He carried his bow and was wearing his uniform. He walked towards the cellcarrier getting closer and seeing the person standing there waiting for him.

As Clint walked up to her ,he stopped and looked at her a bit, "Hey partner " Clint said and smiled a bit to Amelia.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia looked up at the words spoken from her partner. He was a broad shouldered man, carrying a bow. She smiled at him, pushing herself from the edge of the hellicarrier. "Hey." She smiled at him and stuck out her hand, "Amelia Smith, pleasure to make your acquaintance." She grinned at him, her pretty sapphire eyes gleaming like diamonds and her golden blonde hair cascading around her shoulders, reaching to about the mid of her back, it was long for Amelia considering she liked it just past shoulder length.

Agent Smith smiled softly. There were two guns at her side in the two holsters attached to her belt and a knife stuck up her sleeve and pushed into her combat boots.

[Clint Barton]

Clint looked at her and smiled. She was a pretty woman that`s for sure Clint thought. He reached out his hand ,shaking hers, "Clint Barton and it`s my pleasure too " he said to her. He looked at her weapons, "Nice guns.."he said and smirked,letting go of her hand. "So Amelia, are you ready for this mission ?" he asked her and looked at her.

He was a bit curious about Amelia and how they would work together as partners. So far she seemed nice.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia smirked at his comment about the guns. "Let's hope I know how to use them, right?" she smirked, winking. She grinned, "Ready as ever!" She turned and slipped into the hellicarrier, her hair shifting on her shoulders. She shot a look over her slim shoulders. "Comin' Agent Barton?"

She vanished into the carrier and waited for him to come in, wondering how they'd work as partners. So far he seemed like a nice enough man and she was anxious to get to know him.

[Clint Barton]

Clint smirked ,"hehe yeah that wouldn`t be so bad " he said and smiled some to her. "Okey good so am i " Clint said and smiled watching her slip into the hellcarrier. "Yep right behind you Agent Smith" he said and slipped into the hellcarrier as well. He looked at Amelia and smiled, he wanted to get to know her better.

"I have to say i`ve been a bit curious about you Amelia " Clint said to her and smiled.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia shot him a smile and arched a brow. "Curious? About what?" She smiled at him and confessed with a usual grin, "To tell the truth, I've been rather curious about you as well, Monsieur Clint Barton," Agent Smith's thick French accent came through her words.

Her blonde hair fell around her shoulders with a grace she had inherited from her mother, but her eyes were purely her own. Neither of her parents - or her grandparents for that mater - had the same beautiful sapphire blue orbs that Amelia Smith did.

[Clint Barton]

Clint looked at Amelia and smiled some "About you..and what made you become an agent.." Clint said to her and looked at her. He grinned some when he heard the french accent when Amelia spoke. "Well anything you wanna ask me..i`ll try my best to answer..and we do need to get know eachother better..if we`re gonna work as partners " Clint said and looked out the window.

He looked around some and then back at Amelia. He had noticed her beautiful sapphire blue eyes, he wondered at one point if she was single. So far he hadn`t seen any ring on her finger.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia looked at him, forcing the keep the smile on her face. She shrugged, "Well, my father trained me as a child to be a fighter. When I got my powers they sent me here, to New York to help me, and I was asked to join SHIELD." It was a lie...well not a full lie but then not entirely the truth either.

She had to say that he was rather handsome and vaguely wondered if he had someone that he liked or if he was single. She shook the thoughts off, they were partners and they couldn't let a relationship get in the way of that.

[Clint Barton]

Clint looked at Amelia and smiled when she spoke. "Ah alright..that`s nice " he said to her and looked at her. Clint wondered how good of an agent she really was. But he was sure he would get to see that soon.

He sighed softly and kept looking at Amelia some more, he did like her looks a lot and she had a great smile too. "So Amelia..are you single ?" Clint asked her simply and smiled a bit. He had to know.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia nodded and forced the question back at him, "How about you, eh Hawk?" She regarded him with a soft smirk, her sapphire eyes glowing with a soft sense of knowing behind them as though she knew so many things that others didn't, which was actually true. She knew several things that would come to pass, but she never told because all her visions ever told her was that it would end horribly...that was the worst part of her visions they only showed her the worst of the future to come, not the good.

It was horrible.

She looked up at him, as her eyes had strayed away, when he asked the question and she laughed softly. "Are you, Monsieur Barton?" She smirked.

[Clint Barton]

Clint looked at her when she asked him the same question, he smiled a bit,"Hmm about me..i was trained..by someone when i was working at this..circus.." Clint admitted to her and smiled some. He usually didn`t share with others about his past, but he thought he owed it to Amelia at least. Clint hadn `t had the easiest way of growing up,but it had gotten him somewhere.

He looked at her and smiled some, "Yeah..i`m pretty much single Agent Smith" Clint said and smiled to her some more.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia smiled faintly at him. She found herself saying, "Sounds like you had it a bit better then I did..." without thinking. She looked away from him at that point, not wanting to tell him about her past. She didn't want anyone to know because she didn't want the sympathy that would come with telling someone about it.

"As am I." She offered a smile, her hand going to her neck to make sure the rings were still around her neck.

[Clint Barton]

"Don`t know if i`ve had it that much better..but it haven`t been all bad either " Clint said to her and smiled some. He looked at Amelia and got the feeling that she had something she didn`t want to share with him,but Clint wouldn`t bother her with it. He looked out the window some.


Clint smiled back at her ,"That`s good" he said and grinned. He wouldn`t mind some flirting during the missions.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

She sighed softly and looked up at him. She owed him an explanation didn't she? She took a seat beside him, playing with the rings around her neck. "I was born in Paris, France..." she started slowly, "My father was the richest man alive...the best man alive..." She choked slightly, the image of the glass from the shattered window sticking from his blood drenched chest haunting her.

Be strong, Anni... he'd told her as she screamed for help, tears cascading down her ten year old face. Her mother was already dead at this point, body laying in a limp heap on the road blood spilling in all directions. I'm no one without you to guide me!

[/color] she'd choked out and he'd sighed shakily, moving a hand to brush the tears from her eyes, his own drooping as he struggled to stay awake. You are the strongest young woman I've ever known, Anastasia., his heart had failed him then, beating feebly as he struggled to keep himself awake. He managed it for a moment. A moment long enough to tell Amelia he loved her before a terrible darkness took the ten year old's father from her, leaving her to sob over his dead body.

Remembering it now sent the tears into surface in her eyes and she was unable to push them away. No, don't cry...not now, not here! Dammit pull it together Amelia! she told herself but she was unable to pull her emotions together and she broke down, hiding her face in her hands, the tears sliding down her face.

She missed him. She missed his voice, his laugh, his embrace, his gentle kiss on her forehead when he bid her goodnight, the gentle scent of money that seemed to cling to his clothes, she didn't mind it - not one bit, he was her father and she loved him.

But now he was gone, taken from her by a cruel man...a man she had sworn to spend her whole life hunting down...[/blockquote]
