Hawkeye’s Rescue

Avengers AU taking place after Civil War.

A middle school field trip is interrupted and a group of kids and their chaperone are rescued by Hawkeye and the Avengers. Secrets come to light and Hawkeye finds himself asking ‘who rescued who?’

*************

You had jokingly said before your bus pulled out from the school early this morning that this field trip promised to be interesting. If you had only known just how interesting you might have thought twice about volunteering to be a chaperone. But you knew many of the kids and they asked you to go so you had said yes. I mean you like roller coasters and the water park so 6 flags sounded like a fun trip.

As you sit huddled against the brick wall trying to keep the kids quite you almost laugh as the thought ‘a terrorist attack wasn’t listed anywhere on the itinerary’ flashes through your mind. The ten kids with you are terrified. In all honesty so are you but you’re trying to stay calm for the kids.

The minutes drag by. You can hear commotion all around you but you can’t make out what any of it means. As a shadow crosses your face you look up to see a person in a ski mask staring down at you. You press the kids behind you and say a silent prayer. As you whisper ‘amen’ in your mind the man hits the pavement face first.

It takes you a few moments to realize he had been tackled by someone. As you breath a sigh of relief your rescuer kneels down in front of you. “Mam? Is anyone hurt?”

You turn and check on the kids and then back to the man. “A few scrapes but nothing major. Mostly scared.” He reaches out and touches your forehead gently. “It’s just a scratch,” you tell him hoping he realizes you’re down playing the head wound for the kids. He sits down beside you and tells the kids to relax before he speaks into his com, “I’ve got an adult female and several kids by the bathrooms on the East side. One perp down here as well.” He listens for a moment and then turns to you and offers his hand for you to shake.

“I’m Clint. My team has taken out the rest of the attackers. I’m gonna wait here with you. The team is doing another sweep just to be sure and our team doc is coming to make sure everyone is ok.”

Having calmed down slightly some of the kids suddenly are very excited. “I know you! You’re Hawkeye from the Avengers!” Now that you hear it you realize they are right. Sitting beside you is your secret crush for the past several years. You shyly look up at him and offer a smile as you manage to eek out, “Thank you Clint. For saving us.”

He sees the blush on your face and finds it charming. He watches as you talk to the kids and try to keep them from bombarding him with questions. These kids all like you and respect you he can tell. To try and ease their exuberant questions he asks some of his own.

“So are you guys here with a group,” he asks the kids. They all try to answer him at once so the lady shushes them. “We’re on a school field trip. I was the chaperone for this lot.”

He asks about the school and the grade the kids are in. He tells them his two oldest kids are around their ages. He finds himself curious about this lady that is with them so he asks the kids, “So is this lovely lady a mom to any of you?”

The kids all laugh at his compliment and several inform him you are their “school mom.” At the expression on his face one boy explains that some of them have known you for 3 years and you always take care of them at school.

About that time a female voice is heard from around the corner yelling, “Clint! Where the hell are you?”

He stood up and yelled back, “Over here Nat. Is Bruce with you?”

A moment later a red headed woman you recognize as Black Widow steps around the corner followed by Bruce Banner. “Nat, will you lead these students to the front gate? I’m going to get Bruce to check the bump on their teachers head before taking her out.”

The kids all look at you, some realizing for the first time there is blood on your forehead. You assure them you’re ok and for them to go ahead. Once they are gone Clint sits down beside you again and asks, “so what actually happened?”

With the kids gone you’re strong facade begins to crack. He puts his arm around you to help support you. You explain how the man grabbed you and threw you against the wall causing you to hit your head. You had gotten between him and the kids as you realized he had found your group.

Bruce determines you have a concussion but don’t need stitches. Both men help you to your feet and escort you to the front gate.

Excerpt:

Author’s note: At Saint Mungo’s after the fight in the Department Of Mystery’s.

Dumbledore talking to Andromeda Tonks in her daughter’s hospital room while Remus is “asleep” by her side.

“Andromeda,” Dumbledore began, “the problem is you look at Remus and see the boy that bested you so in school and as a werewolf. When we look at Remus we see a good man who has led a hard life. A man that willingly puts himself in harms way to protect those he cares about. Nymphadora looks at Remus and sees not a werewolf, but rather a man that loves her and respects her. She sees the huge heart Remus has for others. Someone who wil stand by her no matter what. She sees the man.”

“I hear what you’re saying Professor...”

“But you feel that you’ve done nothing wrong.”

“Exactly.”

“Well let me ask this of you. Consider how he might be feeling. Yes, you lost your cousin tonight. I am not meaning to minimize your loss in anyway. However, Remus has now lost every friend he has ever had. His entire family has been taken from him. Both biological and adopted families. The only remaining connection to his past is Harry. The only other person in the world who he has let get close to him is Nymphadora and he almost lost both of them as well.

He is hurting Andromeda, in a way few people can comprehend. On top of that is the prejudice he has to deal with. The icing on the proverbial cake tonight has been you trying to separate him From Nymphadora and insulting Sirius.

The others who have been here tonight know all of this and more. Can you honestly blame them for being angry with you? The only person you are thinking about is you.”

Routines(Ch 37)

“Your dad was 9 and was reading those authors?” Harry said.

“I’m not sure who those people are,” Teddy confessed.

“Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes. Shakespeare wrote plays as well as poetry,” Harry answered. “Not what 9 year olds generally read.”

“Well, my Dad wasn’t your average 9 year old either,” Teddy said with a sense of pride.

Harry smiled at his godson with a sense of pride of his own. He motioned for Teddy to continue reading.

“Exceptional mind, particularly for one so young. What concerns me is the sadness and shame which are, odd for such a young child.”

“Remus, do you know how old you were when you were bitten?”

“Yes sir, I was 4.”

The 2 of them looked at each other. She gave him a small nod. I was confused.

“Mr. Lupin,” Professor McGonagall continued. “What routines does your family follow leading up to, during and following the full moon?”

“We schedule all trips so that we are at home before the full moon by at least 2 days before. We have a basement at home that has protective spells, wards and silencing charms cast on it. That is where I spend my transformations. Some of my father’s friends from the Auror department come by and check everything before I go in and recheck once I’m locked in. They stay the night with my parents and grandparents in case they need extra help healing me afterwards. I stay at home to heal and do not leave the house at all for a couple of days to ensure no wounds reopen and for the pull of the wolf to subside. Also my heightened senses are very sensitive so it’s good to stay on familiar turf.”

Meeting Hagrid (Ch 36)

“I got up from the table and walked out of the Great Hall. Once I was in the entrance area I ran out the door. I ran blindly not knowing where I was going. I ended up on the edge of the lake underneath a beech tree. I sat there lost in my thoughts. I kept thinking that I had come close to having a dream come true before I ruined everything. I don’t know how long I sat there crying.

The next thing I knew a large shadow fell over me. I looked up to see a huge man with wild hair and beard staring down at me. I looked back across the lake and didn’t say anything.

“And just who may I ask are you, Young’s?”

“Remus Lupin. You must be Hagrid.”

“That’d be me.”

“My parents told me about you. They like you a lot.”

“Lupin, aye. That would make you who I be lookin’ for. Professor Dumbledore wants to see you. Told me to find ya and bring ya up to ‘is office.”

When we got to his office I was shocked to see Professor McGonagall waiting for me as well. I instinctively hung my head again. I braced myself for what was coming feeling quite certain I was not going to like it.

“Remus, please have a seat.”

“Yes sir.”

“Mr. Lupin, why do you appear so embarrassed or is it shame I see?” she asked me.

“Because I let everyone down,” I said quietly as the tears streamed down my face. “I was so close to being able to be in a real classroom for just a little while and I ruined it.”

“Remus, do I understand you to say you have never been inside a classroom?”

“Yes sir. I have always been homeschooled.”

“And who are your teachers, Mr. Lupin?”

“My parents and grandparents.”

“And what sort of things do they teach you?” she continued.

I wiped the tears away and felt a surge of pride as I answered. “Greek, Latin, French, math, literature, writing, music, flying, anatomy, basic healing spells and potions, British Geography and History, American Geography and History, philosophy, theology, theatre, baseball, American football and football. That kind of stuff. They teach me some defense and dueling as well as transfiguration but none of them are great at those.”

“Remarkable. Very impressive Remus. Would you mind telling me what is your favorite in literature.”

“My favorites are William Shakespeare and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”

“Minerva, what do you think?”

[remusjohnlupin-obsessed3]

Silver Dishes?(ch 35)

“Is there any particular subject that interests you more than others Mr. Lupin?” the Headmaster asked.

Without hesitation I answered, “Yes sir. Defense and Transfiguration.”

Feeling a little ray of hope I went to help myself to a more hardy breakfast. I picked up a spoon but dropped it immediately and looked at my hand. There was a nasty burn where the spoon and touched me.

“Ah, my apologies. All of our dishes are silver. Let me take care of that for you.” 

And with that he healed the burn on my hand and with a flick of his wrist all of the dishes around me glowed for a moment.

“I do apologize for not thinking of it sooner. All of those around you are now steel, though they look basically the same.”

“Thank you sir.”

The chair beside me was suddenly pulled out and a rather stern looking woman sat down beside me. I could feel her eyes on me but didn’t know what to say so I remained quiet.

“Ah, Minerva, allow me to introduce Mr. Lupin. He is the son of our fill in nurse. Mr. Lupin this is Professor McGonagall.”

“I’m pleased to meet you Professor,” I said. I heard Professor Dumbledore chuckle softly behind me. She on the other hand seemed taken aback. I am still not exactly sure why. I should try to remember to ask her about it one day. Anyway, before she could say anything Professor Dumbledore continued on my behalf.

“Minerva, young Mr. Lupin has asked if he could sit in on some of your classes while he is with us. Do you think that could be arranged?”

She looked at him for a minute and then down at me. I was desperately trying to control my enthusiasm but I daresay I failed. She looked down into my eyes for a long moment before asking me, “Have you been taught any transfiguration at home Mr. Lupin?”

“Yes mam. My father has his first wand and loans it to me for lessons. I hope to have my own wand someday.” 

I saw a flicker of something in her eyes. In that moment I felt like I had ruined everything. I lowered my head in shame and sank down in my chair before asking, “May I be excused sir?”

He Changed Minds(ch 34)

“Harry, do you really think Dumbledore responded that calmly?” Ginny asked.

He pondered that before he finally answered, “I think his initial thought may not have been calm but it would’ve only taken a moment for him to realize the 9 year old sitting by him wasn’t a threat to anyone until the full moon and by that time Remus would be gone.”

Hannah asked, “Professors, do you think Dumbledore knew other werewolves at that point?”

Here again Harry gave the question some real thought before answering, “I think that if he had dealings with werewolves before that moment it probably wasn’t pleasant. Based on what I know of history when a person was bitten they were cast away from society and their families.”

He paused a moment and looked at Teddy as he said, “I think your dad changed many people’s idea of what it meant to be a werewolf. It probably helped that Dumbledore had already been talking to Remus before he revealed his condition.”

Ginny chimed in, “My parents never taught us to look down on werewolves but I know many people our age were taught to fear them. But I also have learned that my grandfather knew Remus before he was bitten and remained friends with the Lupin family. So here again, your dad changed things.”

“I honestly don’t see how anyone who knew your dad before learning of his condition could have thought badly of him. I say that even though I know it happened but I don’t understand it.”

Teddy was taking the conversation in and found his mind going back to his father saying he could give more details and wondered how bad things got for his dad.

“Teddy, where did you go just now?” Harry’s voice interrupted his thoughts.Teddy quickly wiped the tear he realized was forming and pretended he hadn’t heard his godfather. When everyone remained silent he admitted, “I was thinking about what my dad didn’t say earlier. That he could give more details about his first days and months of being a werewolf but the thought of his child reading that broke his heart. With everything he has said,for him to leave that out makes me think it must’ve been really bad.”

Teddy looked down at the floor lost in his thoughts until he heard Harry say, “Lets go back to reading what he wrote Teddy. I’m interested to hear what happened next.”

Condition Revealed

(ch 33)

“The Headmaster then nodded to me and began helping himself. I took a couple of pieces of toast and began to eat. After a few minutes I turned to ask him a question.

“Sir, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to sit in on a few classes while I am here?”

Teddy looked up at Harry and Ginny and asked, “Does that seem strange to the two of you?”

Harry and Ginny both laughed and answered, “No, not at all.” Harry took a deep breath to calm himself from laughing and continued, “Your dad was extremely intelligent, curious and rather straightforward when he wanted to know something. And as much as it seems he wanted to be in a real school I would have been surprised if he had NOT asked to sit in.”

Teddy thought about that a moment before he returned to the book.

“I tried to hide my excitement and apprehension that raced through me as I waited for his answer. He smiled kindly at me. I knew that sort of look all to well.

“Mr. Lupin, you will be in school here soon enough. Why don’t you enjoy yourself while you are here?”

“No sir, I won’t.”

“Pardon me?”

“Begging your pardon sir, but I won’t be allowed to attend Hogwarts or any other wizard school.”

I hung my head in shame. Most of the time it didn’t bother me that I didn’t go to school like most kids my age. I got to go on fabulous trips and learned things most kids don’t. I had resigned myself to a life of private education. Now that I was here on campus I desperately wanted to go to school here but I knew it would never happen and it made me very sad.

“And why will you not be allowed to attend Hogwarts Mr. Lupin?”

“Because of my disease sir.”

“Your disease?”

“Lycanthropy sir.”

“Ah, in that case let me speak with my staff and see what we can work out for you.”
