It wasn’t as if Clint kept a diary. Sure, he wrote down notes or to-do lists occasionally, but he didn’t have a regular journal he updated everyday. So when he stumbled upon Jemma’s small leather bound book in the drawer of the nightstand, he figured it was simply lab notes. He knew she was working on something high-level that he wasn’t supposed to know about; it dealt with Loki’s scepter or something, and Clint wasn’t supposed to hear about it, what with his brainwashing and all. What he really wasn’t expecting was a small folded paper to fall out when he flipped through the journal quickly, and he picked it up off the floor and unfolded it. Seeing his name, he read on. “Hey, Jemma? What’s this?”

Jemma poked her head out of the bathroom, wondering what he was even talking about. “What’s what?” She asked, before realising what he was holding. “Oh, that’s um, a letter I wrote you. While you were in Argentina.” There was barely any contact, a text at best and Jemma found herself writing to him in place of talking. “It’s mostly just me babbling. It’s probably not the most interesting thing to read.”  Although it was sweet, she remembered that much and blushed a little as he opened it.

Dear Clint,  Things around here are definitely more boring without you. No one drags me out of the lab and I discovered I lost track of time comparing genome sequences the other night. Discovered this after three am and realised I’d gotten too used to you to not letting me stay past midnight. I turned the coffee pot for a few days, just because the smell was comforting. I’m still not going to drink it, but the smell is nice to have in the kitchen. Hope all things are well over there, I’ve no doubt you are kicking enemy butt. Please, please just be okay. I need you to come home in one piece. You are far too important to me, I don’t know what I’d do if I was told you weren’t coming home. No matter what happens, I will always do everything I can to make sure you’re okay. I miss you so much. I hope you’re doing alright and that you’ll be home soon. Things aren’t the same without you here.

“I don’t know, Kate...”
