Getting over Natasha's death even if it had been a year wasn't easy. Clint was still very much not coping. He though didn't let anybody know and would often just carry on and act like nothing was bothering him.
He hated going to bed alone and crying silently till he was asleep. He wasn't much in the mood to get out of bed today. He was thinking of Natasha and how it would have been her birthday today if she hadn't died.

Agent Barton just lay in his bed and closed his eyes. If only SHIELD didn't need him today. He curled up for awhile longer he was about to go back to sleep but he heard a call coming through and he picked it up.
"Agent Barton speaking," He said. "Alright be right down Fury." He gets out of bed after ending the call. Clint then gets ready before making his way to SHIELD HQ when he arrived he went to go and speak with Nick.

"What do you need me for ?" Clint looked at him.

"I think its time for you to have a new partner." Fury knew Clint had refused to since Natasha had died. "id like you to meet Sinead."
