Baby!Clint & Barney Barton, Teen for suggested violence. 100 words exactly. This drabble meets the requirements for @societynsoelsscribbles' June 10 prompt (Pink Pony Club).

Summary: A split-second decision leaves a small Clint in shock. Barney's reaction changes the entire trajectory of his life.

"What have you done?" Barney's eyes are wide, shocked; his entire body shakes and shivers.

Clint is frozen, scared, unable to move, despite the weight pulling down on his arms. His mouth gapes like a goldfish, staring.

"We have to go," gasps Barney, pulling at Clint's elbow, his shoulder, his shirt. "Come on, Clinty, we have to go."

Clint moves, woodenly, leaving his father's body behind. He slips-slides on the wet floor, into the rainy night, tugged into safety by Barney.

The rain washes the blood from his body into the dirt.

He doesn't remember where he drops the gun.

Something that I did at work, like a real 9-5 Job 😭
