Chapter One

Getting in was easy. Air Ducts where easy, yah know. Hacking was kinda hard though, Hydra need that information. Clint had to inactivate the AI first, and that was difficult.

"Another Right." The com chimed. So Clint did so. Navigation was another easy task, for this mission.

"Left and down." "What does it mean by down!?" He slid down the air vent and landed my side. It caused Clint to whined on impact, everything aches already. He felt sick to his stomach and the land didn't help.

Where he landed was a lab. It had so many cool instrument for science and engineering. "Widow I think your being over dramatic." He hid in the in the corner in shadows behind a huge machine. "Tony, you know I am not." The ginger women Growled. "Okay, maybe a little, but you have to talk to Cap about it, not me." The Brunette man grumbled.

"We have a guest." The AI spoke. "Who?" The women spoke again... Clinton's breathing picked up, and started to shake in fear slightly. If he gets caught, and taken back to his leader he will never see the light of dat again. "Nevertheless, I am busy. Let's go." He shoved the women and himself out the room.

After the door clicked, Clint crawled over and locked the door and ran to the system. He activated the hard drive by put in the system.

After about another half hour later, it was done. He knew he couldn't leave the way he came in. His best guess is to navigate through the hallways to the elevators.

Clint could see the elevator in sight. He scanned the area, being previously almost caught by the very tall male, long dark blonde hair. Very ancient accent to his voice. Running into another tall blonde, but lighter and shorter hair. He slipped from in two floor by now. The ginger women must be informed, and her husband. So many people where trying to figure out who he was and why he was here.

Clint ran, he made a dash, but not fast enough. "Who are you boy?" A male brunette growled. He was the same guy from the lab. "Ummm.... M' Clint." "Clint? Why are in my tower undetected?" He man growled provoking Clint into a conner. "What is in your hand!?l" he must have seen the hard drive. "Who do you work for you little shit!" He yelled. He grabbed one of Clint's arms, and pinned to the wall. "I— I umm— I don't know-." Clint whined under the male. "How do you not know!?" He yelled again. "Answer me!" "No...." Clint whined. "Your hurting me!" Clint tried to pull away from his grip. "Tell me!" "I can't..." he sobbed out.

Tony stared at the boy, tears slid down his face frequently. Tony let go of Clint quickly after he started to realised he scared the boy. "Sir, his breathing has picked up rapidly." "I see that Jarvis..." He got down to eye level with Clint. "Hello Clint. My name is Tony Stark. I am gonna ask who you work for, I want an honest answer." Clint slowly nodded. "Clint, I need you tell me." ".....hydra...."

After a moment or two, Tony punch the wall. Breaking the drywall inward. "I am sorry! Please take it." Clint flinched, he cried and gave Tony the hard drive, he was scared he didn't know what to do. "J? Can you make this HD inactive." Tony gave it to the computer and picked up the boy. Clint squirmed, to the touch. "How old are you Clint." "Nine." He whined. "That Young huh." Clint nodded. Clint sunk down into Tony's hold, relaxing to a positive touch of an adult.

"You found the kid?" Steve spoke in shock. "He is a intel hacker for HYDRA." Tony growled. Clint was place down on the ground. He gripped onto Tony's leg, like he was his child. "Let go, you little piece of shit." Tony pulled he kid off of him, placed Clint on the couch. "Why are you here." Steve growled at the boy. "I was told too, I didn't want punished.." he whined. "Stop the whining." Steve growled. Clint whimpered, but tried to stay quiet as possible. "Someone get Natasha out here." "On it Steve." The AI spoke. "Steven, I am heavily pregnant and want to rest, what do you need?" she hissed. "Is this the little shit that has been wondering..." She growled in discussed. "He is a HYDRA intel hacker." Tony growled.

"Name." "Clinton Barton." "Age?" "Nine." "Parents." "Died in a car crash a six." "Why didn't you go to Foster Care." "A group of people, they killed the officers and took me." "Why? Do you have powers?" "I told you this, don't know miss, I am just a normal kid really good at archery and hacking." Clint explained for the second time to her.

She walked away, and Tony came back instead. "Sir—!?" "Shut up! I don't want to hear it." He yelled.

Bucky and Sam walked in with Bruce. It seamed like they where informed about him, because they gave Clint nasty glares. It cause the boy to start to fight around, the the hurting of his bladder.

"May I use the restroom?" Clint mumbled. "Hey Sam, take the kid to the bathroom." Tony growled at Sam. "Why me!? I don't want to watch the runt." He disagreed. "Faster you take the kid, faster he can stop bugging me." Tony growled.

Same basically dragged the kid to the restroom. "Hurry it up!" He yelled through the door. "Okay..." Clint responded. After a few minutes he was done, he flushed, and washed his hand.

He walked back out to a guy he saw plenty time before this on the computer screen. "Don't send me back to him..." Clint whined causing everyone to stare at him in shock. "He mean like daddy and mommy." "What is his name?" Tony growled. "Matthew Darm, he makes sure I am in line, so I have to call him Mr. Darm." Clint claimed.

Natasha looked at he boy up and down. "Clinton have you been abused?" Clint avoided the topic, and walked back to the spot on the couch. "Clinton?" Steve calmed his name, but he refused to look up at the male.

Tony got down to his level again, "This is an honest answers time." "Yah..... They touched me too...." he sobbed. "Did you ask them to stop?" Natasha ask. "Yah, but I was beat for it, I was disrespecting." He cried in between sobs. "No kiddo, no you weren't." "I was, I get hit when I am disrespecting." He sobbed. "Tony? What do we do?" Bucky asked.

"Are you hungry?" Pepper asked walking in. "I don't get dinner, I failed my mission." Clint choked out. "Honey your not there anymore, you at the tower. Are you hungry." Clint shook his head. "When is the last time you ate?" Natasha asked him. Clint shrugged.

Everyone stepped away, besides Tony. Tony hand his forehead, and sighed. "Does your tummy hurt?" "Yah..." Clint whined. "When you went to the bathroom, was your poop all watery?" Clint nodded. Clint laid his head on Tony's chest. "Do you not get medication? Like pills or shots." Sam asked. "No... They tell me, I can't. I am a waist of product for them." Clint whined.

"He probably has the flu or something." Tony smiled gently at he boy. "Does it feel good to have a little kid that needs you again." "All three of my kids are adult now, yes of corse it is." Tony muttered. "Bathroom?" Clint whined. "Yah of course." Tony followed the boy.

They where in the bathroom for about half of an hour. Heat flashed caused the the pain to worse on the boy. "I think you need to go down to medical." Tony muttered.

Tony looked at the boy's leg, covered in scar and new and fading bruises varying in colour and sized.

"J, can you call Dr. Holy, all my kids loved her." "Yah of course." "Just send her up alright to my room." "Ready for a bath?" "No!" "This one will not make you hurt or feel pain, I am just gonna wash of all the bad germs and dirt off of you." "Hose me down?" Clint asked. "No, you'll see." Tony spoke.

Clint relax on the back of the tub, so exhausted to care for the bubbles. The smell of soap filled the boy's nostrils, causing him to relax more. Tony watched the boy carefully. "I am tired..." Clint yawned. "Must be. Being sick and going on mission must be exhausting."

After washing out the soap and rinsing off Clint. Tony dried him and dressed him in old clothes that belonged to Harley and Peter. "Comfy?" Clint nodded and then yawned. Clint rested his body on Tony. Tony picked up the boy and let him rest and him, waiting for Holy.
