The Tale Of Two Starks

-Chapter 61-

"He'll be fine thanks to the super soldier serum he heals quickly" Bruce sighs sniffing around his own emotions.

"Thanks" I say pulling a blanket over Steve.

"Did I do that to her"? Wanda asks her hands trembling looking around at the rest of us.

"No"

I'm shocked to hear Tony say no to her I turn and look at the genius he's shaking his head at her.

"The rage slime did that to my sister not you Wanda, as far as I'm concerned you helped her just now. It's not your fault" Tony says before walking out presumably to find a drink even though it's the middle of the day.

"Stark! You better not be drunk when Ash and Pepper get home" Thor says rushing after Tony.

We hear Tony mutter something back but we can't make it out he's too far away for us to hear it.

"Why do you think she attacked him"? Tasha asks standing next to Steve.

"Mia would have seen her worst fears. Do any of us really know what she's afraid of"? Wanda counters crossing her arms.

"Losing Ash, Tony"? I ask shrugging my shoulders.

"I think it goes deeper than that. In the beginning Tony and Steve used to fight a lot arguing all the time sometimes it got really bad, there were times they didn't speak for weeks" Tasha explains fiddling with the edge of the blanket.

"Tony and Steve fighting is her worst fear"? I ask her.

"Her brother and her very best friend. On very few occasions Tony would threaten to put on one of his suits to go a few rounds with Steve, if that ever really happened they might have killed each other" Nat says keeping her eyes on Mia.

Damn.

Clint point of view

I sit on our bed holding Mia in my arms trying my hardest not to breakdown in tears it hurt more than anything seeing her cry just now what she saw in that dream must have been terrible. Part of me wants to know but then the other part is like no it would be too awful for her to talk about, in a sick way I'm torn.

I look up when I hear a soft knock on the door its Peter and Vision.

"Is she ok"? He asks looking first at me then down at Mia.

"Eventually yeah she will be. She's tough" I tell them.

"See Peter things always work out they always find a way" Vision says with a funny looking smile.

"Don't worry Peter it will be alright" I say laying Mia down next to me so she can sleep this off.

"I heard you are the person to talk to about pranks"? Peter grins.

I smile bigger now I knew there was a reason I liked this kid.

"You have come to the right place young spider boy once all this calms down we will have an epic prank war" I say crossing my arms with a determined nod.

"Can't wait" Peter smiles before running off down the hall Vision follows him.

I lean my head back against the headboard wondering what in the world is next for this team I'm hoping nothing crazy, for once I would like things to be normal; Mia could spend more than a couple hours with her daughter I could get my Shield papers done, Tony could actually run his company and spend time with Pepper. We all have things we would rather be doing but we also wouldn't trade our lives for anything.

Mia point of view

I feel a warm weight on my shoulder I reach out with my powers it's not Clint I concentrate for a few seconds it's Ash, I smile but keep my eyes closed as well as keep my body still. I don't want to ruin the moment I barely see her as it is.

"Love you mom" She whispers nestling even closer.

I can't stay still anymore a smile cracks across my face.

"Love you too sweetheart" I sigh my voice raspy from the lack of use.

Ash sits up in a flash.

"You're awake! Uncle Bucky! Guys she's awake" Ash exclaims running out of the room down the hall.

About a minute later I have the entirety of the Avengers in my room. Then I'm showered in hugs which I gladly welcome since I don't know how long its been for them.

"Don't do that to me again" Tony says sternly hugging me again.

"You got it brother" I say into his shoulder.

I look at Steve his face colored with bruises that I put there.

"Steve" I start reaching for his face.

He catches my hand half way there holding it in both of his.

"Remember I heal quickly"? He smiles his eyes warm and caring as always.

I nod.

"Let's never do that again" Ash announces.

"You heard the lady" Thor declares summoning a mighty rumble of thunder.

This is my family.
