Prologue
The Avengers (2012)
"hey, so clint's been compromised."
"what do you need?"
"I need your help, Alec."
"we're on our way."
(a gif of five, clint, pepper and tony to go here at some point)
Five is sure he's been here before, staring down the barrel of a gun, wondering if this is how he dies. theres carnage all around them, and five is on his knees. his suit is busted, there's blood dripping down the side of his head, he's definitely got two broken fingers and several cracked ribs, and the skin on his left leg is partially gone, but all that can be seen is metal.
"You going to do it?" five asked. "going to finally tell the commission that you've finally, finally, gotten justice?"
"keep your tiny, pretty little mouth shut, five." the handler snarled. she removes the safety from her gun, and five let's his eyes slide shut. he's prepared to die.
"bye guys."
a gunshot rings out, and silence falls around them.
