Unexpected

XI

"You alright?" was the first thing she could hear clearly enough for her to understand. "We're in the jet right now, heading to the farm house," Natasha told her as soon as she opened her eyes back up. 

"What happened?" Nina asked her. She had a killer head ache, and didn't remember anything after what happened with the Maximov girl. Well, except for the fun visions the girl had shown her. 

"The girl got to you. She got Steve and Thor too," Nat explained. "Me and Clint walked you guys back here." Nina frowned. She had walked back to the jet? "She got Banner too. Tony had to call in the big guns, 'cause he got pretty aggressive and went into town."

"Did anyone get hurt?"

"Nothing too serious, the city is pretty destroyed though," Natasha told them. "The news are loving it, but the people hate us." Nina nodded. 

"You said we were heading to the farm house? Clint's okay with that?" Nina frowned. Clint had told her he didn't want the avengers knowing about Laura and the kids. He didn't want them in any kind of danger. 

"It was his idea," Nat shrugged. "It's the only place Ultron doesn't know of."

"What is this?" Thor asked as they walked from the jet to the house. 

"Safe house," Tony told him. 

"Let's hope so," Clint commented, before opening the front door. He walked in, everyone following him inside. "Honey? I'm home," he yelled out. Tony and Steve shared looks of confusion. Laura Barton walked out into the living room, crafting paper and pens in her hand. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead."

"Hey," she greeted him, holding his face and pulling him into a kiss. 

"This is an agent of some kind," Tony told Thor. 

"Gentlemen, this is Laura," Clint told the four. 

"I know all your names," Laura chuckled. As she said that, footsteps could be heard from the upper level, running down the stairs. 

"Ooh, incoming," Clint smiled, watching his children run into the living room. 

"Dad!" little Lila yelled, jumping into her father's arms. 

"Hi, honey," he caught her. "Hi, little buddy," Clint said, wrapping an arm around his son. Steve frowned in absolute confusion at the sight. 

"Those are... smaller agents," was all that Tony could come up with.

"Did you bring auntie Nat?" Asked his son. Lila jumped down excitedly. 

"And Nina? Did you bring Nina, daddy?" She asked her dad. 

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Nina stepped out from behind Thor and caught Lila as the girl jumped into her arms. Natasha laughed and wrapped her arms around Cooper. "Ooh, goodness, how you've grown, little one," Nina smiled at the girl she hadn't seen in about a year and a half.

"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve apologized to Clint's wife, still looking thoroughly lost at the scene. 

"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea you existed," Tony retorted. Nina put the girl back on the floor, feeling more light headed than she had previously been. 

"Yeah, well. Fury helped me set this up when I joined," Clint explained to them. "They're the only ones who knew about it," he made a head gesture to Nina and Natasha. "I'd like to keep this a secret."
