Y/N's POV:

"Hey uncle Clint!" I say enthusiastically. Honestly, uncle Clint is the only person I can trust that won't tell Mama where I am seeing as he's been in hiding before and has literally hid his wife and kids away to keep them safe so he knows that is what i'm doing with Bella.

"Hey kiddo!" He says, matching my energy. "I brought you a couple of thing from home, I figured you'd need them seeing as you took off without anything." He adds as he walks through the door and places a bag down on my sofa.

I thank him then he gives me a photo that's been places neatly into a frame. A photo of me, Bella, Wands and Mama all in our matching pyjamas that Thor bought us because he thought they were 'cute' which they are but hearing it from Thor made me laugh.

"They both miss you ya know, your Mama and Wanda. Look kid, I know this is hard for you, trust me. But I know you need them as much as they need you and i'm not going to lie to you, your Mama can't sleep, she doesn't know if you're safe or even alive and it's killing me knowing that I could just tell her that you're absolutely fine so please please please come home soon. It's so painful to watch them suffer like this." He says and I feel a tear roll down my cheek which he wipes away. I miss them so much and I really wanna come home but I really don't believe that Bella would be safe away from Maria.

"I know, I know. But what about Bella, uncle Clint? How am I supposed to keep her safe?" I ask as more tears roll down my cheeks.

"You live in the Avengers compound, i'm pretty sure we can keep an almost four year old safe." He laughs out as he wipes away the rest of my tears with his sleeves.

Maybe he's right and honestly I need to see Mama and Wands again. I hate being without them and I especially hate knowing that Mama thinks we're dead. I need them. I need my Mama.

"Y/N/N, can I come out now?" I hear a little voice ask from under the table.

"Oh Bella i'm so sorry! Yes you can come out now." I say completely forgetting that she was still hiding under there.

"Umm, why w- actually i'm not even going to ask." Uncle Clint says, holding the bridge of his nose between his thumb and index finger while looking down towards the floor.

"Uncle Clint! Uncle Clint!" Bella says as she bolts towards him. He picks her up and spins her around as she squeals. "Wanna come and watch a film with me and Y/N now?" She adds, giving him the most adorable puppy eyes.

"Of course little one, I would be a fool if I said no to that face." He says with a soft smile.

We all sit on the sofa and of course Bella puts on 'Beauty and the Beast' but I don't really pay much attention to it, me and uncle Clint talk to each other quietly so Bella doesn't tell us off for not watching the film.

"Y/N, you can't keep her here forever." He says as he looks at me with sadness in his eyes."

"I know, I know but I can't be separated from her again uncle Clint. I can't do it." I reply. He just smiles at me and nods his head in an understanding manner.

After a while, Bella had fallen asleep so uncle Clint decided it was time for him to leave as it was getting dark. He helps me get Bella into bed first them comes back downstairs to say his goodbyes.

"Please look after yourself Y/N." He says as he brings me into a tight hug before stepping out of the door and getting into his car.

"Uncle Clint, wait!" I yell, loud enough for him to hear me.
