Ten years ago, Clint Barton made the most important—and most illegal—decision of his life. Instead of completing a routine mission, he walked out of a HYDRA facility with a terrified little girl in his arms and vanished long enough to erase her from every record that ever existed. Now she’s seventeen, dangerously powerful, and the closest thing Clint has ever had to a family. The catch? No one knows she exists. Not the Avengers. Not S.H.I.E.L.D. Not Nick Fury. For over a decade, Clint has somehow balanced saving the world with raising a telekinetic, psychic teenager in complete secrecy, all while pretending he’s just the team’s chronically unavailable archer. Everything falls apart when HYDRA comes looking for the one experiment they never recovered, forcing Clint to reveal the secret he’s spent ten years protecting. Turns out the biggest secret in Avengers history wasn’t a classified mission. It was Clint Barton’s daughter. Or: Clint Barton illegally adopts a psychic child, somehow keeps it hidden for ten years, and the Avengers collectively realise they may not be as observant as they thought.
