[So, after this weekend, Victoria went to her room and used up all of her crayons and probably broke a few dozen colored pencils to color a picture on the wall. It's in view now. It's of a very, very smiley man holding boxes and a woman and child with expressionless faces staring up at a house surrounded by trees. Victoria's adding finishing touches to one of the trees and she knows the camera is on, but she doesn't look at it directly.

Instead, she's busy frowning at what she's drawing.]

My parents died when I was three. Carla and Mr Fletcher aren't my mom and dad. That was a curse.


[And she wasn't impressed, City.

That being said, though, she has a question.]

Carla, can we still draw?

[She kind of liked that. A lot.]

This weekend.

[She may have not liked it, but she draws what she sees because she wants to remember. Especially when the memories are happy, false as the situation was.]

[ He leans in, squinting a little, as if to closer examine it. ]

See it now. [ Gesturing his head to it. ] Is that your sister?

No. Carla. She was cursed, too. She thought she was my mom.

[ And now he's catching up with the programme. ]

Family day curse. Right. Well, kid, I'm glad you had a good weekend out of it, it's about time someone around here had something nice.

It was okay.

What's your name?

[bettercallit]

Clint Barton. You got a name?

[ Because he can't keep calling her kid, obviously. ]

Pretty name. You got people taking care of you here? Other than curses.
