Laura gave the team some food and showed them to their rooms. Nat and Bruce were doubling up, but every one else had their own rooms, thanks to Thor leaving earlier.
After having showered and putting on a change of clothes, Nina settled down in the living room with the children while Steve and Tony had a testosterone competition over some logs. She had been drawing some painting with Lila, whilst Cooper was trying to rebuild his Lego house that Thor had accidently stepped on.
Laura had stepped outside to ask Tony something about their tractor, and Clint walked over to Nina.
"Hey, Honey, can I borrow auntie Nina for a minute?" Clint said, gently placing his hand on his daughter's shoulder. Lila was about to object, but he spoke again. "Don't worry, you'll get her right back. We just need to talk about some adult things, alright?" The young girl nodded hesitantly, watching Nina stand up and walk to the dining room table.
"What happened? With the girl, I mean. Because you seem pretty shaken up," Clint said, pouring her a glass of water. Nina sighed. "Thor seemed completely out of it too."
"It was... it was weird," Nina admitted. "I mean, the Maximov twin should be able to access memories and make scenarios out of them, but what she showed me..." Nina shuddered. "It wasn't something I lived, per se."
"So it wasn't about Hydra? Or the academy?" Clint frowned. Nina knew that Natasha probably thought it was about the Academy too.
"A part of it was. Kind of. I saw something," Nina shook her head. She had seen the infinity stones, which made sense, but didn't at the same time. The girl's powers came from Loki's scepter, which had the mind stone imbedded in it. The girl's connection to the stone was clear, but Nina didn't understand the vision she had of the seer. She was just a human girl, she shouldn't have any knowledge of Timelords and Seers, even less of the Time War. Unless she had been in Nina's head. Nina had spent a whole year in that Hydra facility with them, and she didn't have a single memory of what had happened. "It's all very confusing."
Before Clint could say anything, Nick walked in through the front door with Tony and Steve.
"Gather up the team," he said, walking to the kitchen. "Glad to see you again, Jones," he commented. Nina sent him a look.
"Are you, now," she sneered. She knew very well he didn't give a shit, nor did he care about her or the fact she had been in a Hydra facility for the past year. She really wanted to snap a few more comments at him, but Laura walked into the living room, and Steve walked into the house.
"Ultron took you out of play to buy himself time," Fury started talking as soon as everyone settled down in the kitchen and dinning room area. Laura stayed in the living room, drawing with the children. "My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."
"What about Ultron himself?" Stave asked.
"Oh, he's very easy to track," Fury told him. "He's everywhere. The guy's multiplying faster than a catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans, though."
"Is he still after the launch codes?" Tony asked, not taking his eyes off the darts he had been throwing this whole time.
"Yes, he is. But he's not making any headway."
"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare," Tony told him.
"Well, I contacted my friend at Nexus about that," Fury nodded.
"It's the world's Internet hub, in Oslo," Nina told him, taking a sip of her orange juice.
"Every byte of data flows through there," Bruce agreed. "Fastest access on earth."
"So what did this friend say?" Clint asked Fury.
"He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."
"By whom?" Tony asked. He flinched away from the target when three darts were thrown from the other side of the room and hit the bull's eye. Tony sent a look to Clint, who shrugged with a smirk on his face. Nina couldn't help but smile at them.
"Parties unknown," Fury told him.
"Do we have an ally?" Natasha asked.
"Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still I'd pay folding money to know who it is."
"I might need to visit Oslo," Tony told them. "Find our unknown."
"Well, this is good times boss, but I was kinda hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that."
