Chapter 185 Eagle Eyes and Songbirds
Clint Barton, Hawkeye.
Gradually becoming blind, he tried to complete his last mission before he lost his sight forever, which was to hunt down the members of the Thunderbolts who betrayed and led to the death of the Avengers.
He has already killed Atlas and the Beetle. Although he has experienced some setbacks, he is still full of expectations for the next action. He knows that his revenge action is a bit too late, but this will also be the only one he will take in his life. There is a mission.
have to say--
Without Bullseye and Venom chasing him, Old Barton's actions were much smoother, especially after the Red Skull sent many killers and were killed by Bullseye. This relieved Old Barton's pressure to a certain extent. .
At this time, the relationship between good and evil in the wasteland is in an extremely delicate balance. No one knows what will happen next, or where all this will lead the world.
After personally getting rid of the beetle Abel who spent his whole life screwing screws in the factory and drinking to drown his sorrows, Old Button saw the letters written to Melissa the songbird from him.
Barton had the impression that Beetle and Songbird were lovers when they were in Thunder Agents. In order to protect the one he loved, Abel was willing to become a traitor, which later became the trigger for him and Songbird to part ways. .
Songbird has long regarded herself as a true hero, and she is also very entangled in betraying the Avengers, especially when all members of the Thunderbolts have become traitors.
Before the start of that battle, Songbird tried to tell Hawkeye the truth, but due to time constraints and Hawkeye Barton's desire to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, she ultimately failed to tell Hawkeye about the traitor.
And this has become the thing that Melissa, the Songbird, can't forgive herself for the most. Watching her former comrades die tragically in front of her, watching the eagle eye staring at the death of her beloved Black Widow, Melissa will All these faults are attributed to myself.
Melissa felt that since she didn't tell the truth back then, she wouldn't have to speak anymore in the future.
So, she joined the monastery and founded the Sisters of Silence, living with a group of people who refused to speak their entire lives. This stay lasted for forty-five years.
Looking at the very majestic building, Eagle Eyes had a dull expression.
Since he was not chased by Venom, Hawkeye was not seriously injured, nor did he seek help from his second generation Hawkeye Kate Bishop. He had to kill all the way alone.
Kate Bishop is also a hero who escaped the old war. She relied on her family background and her own abilities to build a large shelter in the wasteland, and carefully hid herself from the intrusion of the Red Skull and Hydra. She lived a good life. It's quite comfortable.
If something absolutely irresolvable had not happened, Old Barton would not have taken the initiative to find her. For his little apprentice, Barton only felt that he owed her a lot.
Entering the monastery, Old Barton was about to ask loudly about Melissa's location, but he suddenly remembered that this was the Silent Church, a place where maximum silence was required.
So, he took out the photos collected by Abel from his arms. It was a photo of Abel and Melissa when they were young. Their smiles were very happy and warm.
An old nun writes and draws on paper. This is their daily way of communicating with the outside world. After all, not everyone who comes here can understand sign language.
There was only one line on the board - In the chapel.
Perhaps Melissa had known that such a day would come, or perhaps she was repenting for her original sins all the time.
But, there’s no going back, right?
Arriving at the chapel, Eagle Eye saw a figure wearing a robe with his back to him. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, Eagle Eye still believed that the figure was the person he was looking for.
Holding the sharp arrow hidden under his windbreaker, Eagle Eye slowly stepped forward.
Heavy footsteps echoed in the silent church, and the praying figure also made movements.
She turned around slowly, her face wet with tears. Melissa was holding a sketchbook in her hand, which was densely filled with sorry words.
Maybe she was really prepared. She was not surprised at all when she saw Hawkeye coming. She had the ability to control sound waves, and she had already discovered it when Hawkeye approached here.
Looking at the white-haired and extremely old Hawkeye, Melissa felt that the guilt in her heart had reached its peak. She staggered and fell into Barton's arms, crying bitterly.
Looking at Melissa in his arms, Hawkeye was really surprised, but this did not prevent him from raising the sharp arrow in his hand. He knew that as long as he aimed it at Melissa's back, his target would be Another item was completed.
——
"Clint, there's something you should know."
"Sorry Songbird, no time to chat right now, there are a lot of criminals causing a riot in Las Vegas."
"But...but this matter is important"
"I'm pretty sure that whatever you're telling me,
It’s too late to talk about it later. "
——
hiss.
Take a deep breath.
Old Barton hesitated for a long time, but in the end he failed to pierce the sharp arrow in his hand into Melissa's unprepared back.
This is different, this is different from the hand blade Astra and the beetle Abel.
"No!"
Hawkeye pushed Melissa away, forcing his expression to become indifferent, and then he spoke.
"You don't have to say sorry. Our relationship hasn't reached the stage where we can embrace each other, not since you watched all this happen."
Melissa took a few steps back, but she was not displeased by Barton's actions. She lowered her head and wrote on the cardboard. Looking at her serious look, Old Barton frowned but did not interrupt her.
(I know you are here to kill me, I just want to say a few words)
(I heard what happened to Abel and you killed him, but I don’t blame you)
(After that day, we no longer deserve happiness)
(Every night when I close my eyes, I see my comrades being killed again and again)
"enough!"
Old Barton shouted and interrupted Melissa. He pointed directly at Melissa's face and said angrily.
"What do you want from me!? Forgiveness? Or sympathy? I tell you that's impossible! Those things died that day along with Sam, Cortana, Thor, and everyone else! "
But in the face of Hawkeye's anger, Melissa seemed unusually calm. In other words, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
After pondering for a moment, Melissa finally raised the cardboard in her hand.
(Clint, thank you for helping me out)
