Clint was pissed to say the least and anyone who saw him could tell as he stomped to interrogation and when he got there, Phil hugged him.

"He should not be here" Clint says with a deadly glint in his eyes that would rival Natasha's own. "I know" Phil whispers running his hands threw Clint's hair "why is he here" Clint questions. "Natasha found him when she was on an op and he was with her target so she brought him in, she would have taken him out if she knew who he was" Phil calms and Clint sags against him. "I want to kill him" Clint's voice cracks and Phil nods "I want to make him suffer" Clint whispers looking into Phil's eyes and Phil can see the pain and hurt and tears behind the anger. "I know but that wouldn't make you feel better, so I'm gonna let you go in there alone and if you need me tap the table twice and I'll be there, alright" Phil tells him. "Phil-I, what if" Clint starts but Phil shushes him "I trust you, now you need to trust me" Phil whispers and Clint nods steeling himself before walking in.

"Barney, no he wouldn't be pussy enough to work for the government so it leaves, Clint" the man says looking up at Clint with disgust that Clint flashes right back at him before schooling his feature. "mhm and only you would be caught by a girl" Clint says knowing how his father feels about gender roles "she was rather pretty don't you think" the man smirks and Clint grinds his teeth. "yes well don't let her hear you or she might just kill you" Clint consciously relaxes his shoulders and smirks "and what would you do" his father smirks.

Clint breaks and grabs his fathers throat pushing him against the wall cutting his air supply off and Clint can hear Phil's voice telling agents outside to stand down. He slowly let's go of his fathers throat and takes a few paces away but never turns his back to the man. "can't even kill me, that's how stupid and useless you are" the man grins showing off his yellow teeth "I could kill you in .5 seconds given you didn't have information I need" Clint replies calmly, forcing himself to breathe properly.

"Now, what were you doing there" Clint smiles his best target smile "buying some stuff" the man leans back in his chair "buying what" Clint asks "stuff, you useless piece of shit" the man smirks and Clint's facade breaks as he starts thinking back to everything this man-no piece of shit-has ever said to him since he was born.

"According to you, I'm stupid, I'm useless, I can't do anything right, According to you, I'm difficult, hard to please, Forever changing my mind, I'm a mess, Can't show up on time, Even if it would save my life, According to you, according to you" Clint starts fuming and stands up. "But according to him, I'm beautiful, incredible, He can't get me out of his head, According to him, I'm funny, irresistible, Everything he ever wanted, Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it, So, tell me what I got to lose, He's into me for everything I'm not, According to you" Clint says thinking back to all the hours Phil spent reassuring him that Phil was interested in him.

"According to you, I'm boring, I'm moody, And you can't take me any place, According to you, I suck at telling jokes 'cause I always give it away, I'm the person with the worst attention span, You're the man who puts up with that, According to you, according to you" Clint yells at the man who stands up and backs away a little. "But according to him, I'm beautiful, incredible, He can't get me out of his head, According to him, I'm funny, irresistible, Everything he ever wanted, Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it, So, tell me what I got to lose, He's into me for everything I'm not, According to you" he says pushing the man hard enough that he hits the wall before Clint steps away from him. "But according to me, You're stupid, you're useless, You can't do anything right" Clint yells and shoves at the table.

Phil who's watching from behind the glass is looking a little worried and looks over at Natasha who looks worried to but also pleased about something "what is it" Phil asks "I'm glad he's getting his feelings out but somethings gonna happen, I can feel it" Natasha whispers "me too" Phil nods before looking back.

"But according to him, I'm beautiful, incredible, He can't get me out of his head, According to him, I'm funny, irresistible, Everything he ever wanted, Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it, tell me what I got to lose, He's into me for everything I'm not, According to you, According to you" Clint frowns as he backs closer to a corner and tears prick his eyes. "According to you, I'm stupid, I'm useless, I can't do anything right" his last words come as a whisper as he collapses in the corner, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He doesn't register the sound of the door opening or multiple agents flooding the room or the words his father is throwing at him, he doesn't register any of that until Phil's strong arms are pulling him up and Phil's scent is surrounding him, that's when he registers the open door, all the agents, Tasha holding a knife up to his fathers throat, the sly grin on his fathers face.

"Clint, baby, look at me" Clint slowly looks over and he releases a strangled cry that has everyone looking at him, he's clinging to Phil as if Phil would disappear and Phil is whispering to him and kissing his face softly "baby, it's ok, I'm here" Phil whispers, after a moment the agents go back to pulling Natasha off his father and they succeed after eight of them have a hold of her.

"Pathetic useless little girl" his father mocks and Clint straightens up and throws a knife into his fathers abdomen "call her or my boyfriend, pathetic or useless and the next one will be in your heart" Clint threatens, "you and them are all useless" the man sneers and before anyone can even breath the man has a knife sticking out of his chest, "I warned you" Clint tells him, voice cracking, tear tracks drying, eyes watering, shaky legs and hands. That was the day everyone in SHIELD found out that no matter what state Clint is in emotionally or physically, he will kill you if you insult Natasha or Phil.

"Baby" Phil whispers and Clint looks at him with more tears in his eyes "I-I don't regret it, I don't think I ever will, does that make me him" Clint asks with wide vulnerable eyes "no baby, of course not, you could never be him" Phil tells him pulling him into his arms and stroking his back.

Phil and Natasha slowly walk Clint to Phil's office but they get stopped by a junior agent who looks at them all shocked but shakes his head and tells them that director fury would like to talk with specialist Barton "no" is the short clipped response from Phil "but director fury-" the agent starts "tell director Fury that if he wants to talk with specialist Barton he can come to my office" Phil cuts the agent off and the agent nods scurrying off.

They manage to get to the office floor without to many looks but when they step out of the elevator everyone and I mean everyone looked over at them, and gasped at Clint's disheveled look, Phil's wet shirt and Natasha's relatively soft face.

Clint looks up and steels his face walking past everyone but is stopped by Maria "are you alright" she asks Clint's voice breaks as he gives a dry humourless chuckle, "I just killed my father, the man who killed my mom, abused me and my brother, and got me hooked on crystal and meth when I was six, so to answer your question, I'm just fucking peachy" he scoffs.

Fury walks in and looks around "specialist Barton" he starts "sir with all do respect fuck off" Clint tells him "I came down here to tell you good job on that mission and you now have a mandatory leave for 72 hours along with Coulson" and with that Clint looks at him before nodding and walking away with Phil close behind.
