( clint / ward )
Well, it was that or put another bullet in me.
You got taken from military school. I got taken from actively working as an assassin and mercenary. Anyway. Fury adopted me. Helped me get my GED. Sent me to the military to get me more skills. Figured out that was a terrible idea when I got massively dicked over by my CO. Then sent me to the academy when I was "officially" old enough.
