Avengers: Next Generation

5: Hawkeye's "Thinking out loud"

"So Nate." Clint said to his brown haired son while cleaning a horse.

"Dad." Nate said in a sarcastic tone.

"I know I've always told you guys that I want my family life a secret from S.H.I.E.L.D but," He stopped talking.

"But what?" Nate asked, he was curios to know what his father was going to ask him.

"But-" He trailed off when he saw someone walking toward the barn. "Nat?" He said. He put down the horse brush and ran toward the Black Widow. When they met in the middle of the barn they hugged.

It took Nate a second to realize who it was. He didn't know how his father could see Auntie Nat from far away but he guessed that's why he's called Hawkeye. "Auntie Nat!" He said as he ran up to her.

The red head looked so happy so see Clint and fourteen year old Nate. "Did you tell him yet?" She asked.

Clint shook his head and said, "I was getting there."

"Yeah I'm sure you were." Natasha laughed.

"I was! Wasn't I Nate!" Clint raised his hands.

"Not really." Nathaniel laughed.

"Thanks son." Clint said sarcastically.

"What were you going to tell me?" Nate asked.

Clint looked at Natasha. She sighed. "S.H.I.E.L.D. needs you." She said.

"Me?"

"Yeah." Clint said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Nate said throwing his hands in the air.

"Because you can shoot." Nat said.

"And? I can do a lot more then just shoot straight." Nate said.

"We know you can." Natasha said.

Nathaniel could do pretty much anything you asked him to do. He was great at playing piano, he could cook pretty well, he played sports after school, and he did all of his farm work.

"Well I kinda don't want to die so no. Sorry S.H.I.E.L.D. but this farmer wants to keep teasing his sister about eating her pig." Nathaniel said.

"Still teasing her I see." Nat laughed.

"I've never stopped." Nate laughed with her.

"But Nate." Nat said getting serious quick. "We already have the Starks, the Rogers, and my family on board."

"How are Sean and Jenny doing?" Clint asked.

"Well you know, Sean gets smarter by the second and Jenny is always changing." Nat answered.

"I haven't seen them since I was like two." Nate said remembering his "cousins".

"Bruce is going back to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Clint asked.

"It took a lot of convincing, but yes he is." Natasha answered Clint.

"So what exactly is all of this about? And just because you already have the Starks and the Rogers means nothing to me. I've never met them." Nate said.

"You will know them. You'll be on a team with them." Nat said.

"I thought the Starks didn't play well with others." Nate raised an eyebrow.

"They don't." Clint said.

"This sounds like a great idea." Nate laughed.

"It was." Clint laughed.

"So are you guys in or not?" Natasha crossed her arms.

"I'm in." Clint said. "Nate you don't have to." He looked at his son.

"The only person in this world who's going to kill my sister's pig is me. Not some evil guy who has nothing else better to do with his life." Nate crossed his arms and grinned.

-

The Bartons and Natasha Romanoff sat at the table talking about what was going to happen.

"We don't know how to get in contact with Thor but he always seems to show up anyway." Natasha said.

"Yeah with a flash of lighting and everything." Clint smirked.

"Well Hawkeye jr. over here can only do so much." Lila nodded toward Nate.

"I can still cook your pig." Nate said.

"You know you wouldn't." Lila said.

"Try me." Nate grinned.

Lila struck her tongue out at her brother. Everyone always made fun of Nate for being able to do anything by saying he couldn't really do much.

"The school starts Monday." Nat said.

"That's tomorrow." Laura said looking at Clint.

"I know a little sudden." Nat said.

"I'll do it." Nate said. "As long as Mom, Lila and Copper stay off of S.H.I.E.L.D's profiles. They stay out of all of it." Nathaniel was almost like the prefect son when it came to protecting his family. One time Clint's enemies came to the Barton's farm, and guess who stopped them.

Did you guess Nate? I bet you did. It wasn't just Nate however, Clint of course helped.

"You were off S.H.I.E.L.D's files before you were even born Nate." Clint said.

Lucky came into the room and whimpered.

"It's okay." Nate said patting the dog's head. "I'm only gonna be gone for a little while, right." Nate looked at Natasha.

She shrugged her shoulders. "We really don't know how long this will take. Sorry."

Nate looked at his family and nodded. "I'm in." He said.
