Prompt Me Some Fiction at Ficlet O’Clock

[scribblemyname]

So, it’s that time again. I have a hankering to write some ficlets, and my current docket seems too overwhelming.

1. Give me a number between 1 and 10.
2. Name a storyworld, fandom, or character.
3. Ask a question.

I will answer your question in a ficlet of the number of sentences specified in #1.

The Number of Fear {Divergent}

for lithiumlaughter

He must stay brave to keep the name.

Revelation {Avengers/X-Men Movieverse}

for xenokattz

That wasn’t anger in Natasha’s eyes, but betrayal.

A) Your icon collection never ceases to amaze me.

B) You're not the only one who theorizes that Clint's a mutant too. It could be xenokattz who somehow got it in my head (somewhere, at some point, she wrote a ficlit about it,if I'nm not mistaken), but the idea that his heightened senses of sight and hearing are a mutation FITS. I like him as a badass normal, but Clint as mutant is a delicious idea.
And poor Tasha. The fact that Rogue uses Clint's name for Natasha is a shot to the gut. An even harder one is that last sentence. NRGH.

A) Be Compromised comm. I check out the new sets and occasionally swipe one that really delights me.
B) I admit, I'd never thought about the issue before the prompt, but then I went for the one who could be unconscious and still pack a whollop somehow. I do love the ambiguity and intense relationship between Clint and Natasha, regardless of whether it's platonic or romantic, and I was hoping it would come across there.
