Here, You Are Home | Chapter Six: Still the Singing Skylark Soared

Summary: Natalie’s new favorite Avenger is Mister Hawk, and once she’s older, she wants to be an Avenger, too. Or a Jedi! But then things go wrong and the Avengers learn that Clint didn’t make it out of the building.

Warning for believed death of a main character, grief/mourning, and the disturbing imagery and aftermath of an explosion.

Chapter title comes from the poem “The Skylark,” by Christina Georgina Rossetti.

from Here, Home

Everyday, at midday, the Ladder-back comes to drum upon my metal chimney,

to peck for invisible insects and suck down only steam, until the sun beats

the roof no more: the echo of his darting crest climbing down into my home,

the thunder of the little sound, monstrous through the vent. And he, somehow, reminds me

of my brother — the one at war — and I think of the metal-splitting sounds,

the growls of the street, those hard headless growls, against the pound of that woodpecker

on my metal spout; one thousand times within the minute — think, think, think — hard press of

beak against the copper, dents of time seeping into the already-sunken piece.
