    Summary

    A gunshot shatters the window and before he can even think about what’s going on she’s pinning him to the ground, her own body shielding his from the glass and gunfire. She stays on top of him long after the gunshots end and he wonders if she’s waiting for more gunfire or if she can’t move because she’s been shot. When he pushes her off of him and sees the blood, he realizes it’s the latter.
    “Asshole missed my heart,” she says weakly, coughing up blood.
    “We need to go.”

    Or, the one where Clint is supposed to kill her and decides not to and then everything goes to hell until it doesn't.

    Summary

    "It's Agatha, I don't- I felt it; I felt that something was off- fuck!"

     

    Agatha's blood is surrounding her body slowly as it seeps out; like a wound too tender ruptured again; like a macabre halo encircling her.

     

    "Get her coat off," Jen hisses, something akin to a lazy panic in her eyes, as though she thinks Agatha may be joking.

     

    Rio removes it with care and puts it to the side, gasps echoing around her at the sight of Agatha's shirt; coated and drenched in old and new blood; murky browns and rich crimsons swirling around each other.

     


    or,

     


    agatha is thrown through the glass instead of teen, and how things unravel quite differently as a result, ft. romance, found family, trauma, angst, a deep-seated need for therapy and healing.

    Summary

    Agatha nods, gives her a sad smile.

    "I know-. know he's not mine. But..."

    "I know, sweetheart."

    Rio reaches for Agatha's hand across the small space between them. It feels like miles. Agatha shuffles closer still. Their noses are practically touching, and what little self-control Rio has left is very quickly slipping away.
