The kid avengers

One of Us

Darcy woke up the next morning determined to make it a good day for the six child superheroes.
She'd been awake most of the night suffering nightmares that she lost one of the children; that Natasha was kidnapped, Tony ran off or Thor got lost and eventually she gave up trying to sleep
She got up and went to help herself to some coffee.

Natasha and Clint had gotten up at some point in the night and fallen asleep again on the sofa watching Tangled.
Phil joined Darcy shortly after, smiling. He was already dressed in his usual suit; Darcy suddenly realised she was dressed in nothing but shorts and a captain America tee and went rather red.
Scurrying back to her room, by the time she re-entered the lounge suitably dressed the other kids were up and crowded round the table eating their breakfast. Clint had woken, but stayed put on the sofa as Natasha was still asleep lay across him.

"So what's the plan for today?" Darcy asked, taking a seat next to Bruce who tried to share his juice with her

"Can we go to the park? It's not raining!" Tony asked Phil excitedly

"No, not today. I'm sorry but Maria is ill and Pepper is jet lagged"

"We could take them, couldn't we?" Darcy asked quietly, all four boys heads swiveled to face Phil, Clint too turned to watch the conversation, shifting too much which caused Natasha to fall from the sofa
She was less than impressed, but her mood improved dramatically when Phil agreed they could go to the park for the day.

All six children went and got dressed.
Natasha insisted on leaving a note for Pepper to let her know where they'd gone, and Steve made sure Maria was well topped up with medication before they left.

By the time they were ready to leave it was lunch time, so Darcy insisted on taking them all out for food before they went to the park (she still had access to the shield expense account)

They finally made it to the park and the kids scattered; Tony played a game of spy with Clint and Natasha, determined to lean to climb trees as well as the two younger children.

"Swing? Swing?" Bruce requested, running as fast as his little legs would carry him; Steve followed and helped the toddler up into the seat. "Higher Steve! Higher!" Bruce giggled as the wind tossed his curly hair back out of his face.

"Hey Thor, what do you want to do?" Phil asked, watching him as he stared at Tony chasing Natasha up the tree.

"Could we play catch?" he asked

"I don't think we have anything to-"

"There's a tennis ball in my bag Thor, you can use that" Darcy told him, getting up to go see if Steve wanted a break so he could go do something a little more interesting

"Phil! Phil!" Clint ran up behind him shouting "Can we have a drink please?" his blond hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat

"Sure we can, just give me a-"
But Phil was cut off when Thor accidentally aimed Darcy's taser at him. He fell to the floor as Thor and Clint looked at each other with wide eyes

"What did you do?!"

"I didn't mean to!"

"Is he dead?"

"I don't think so. I rather hope not!"

"What is that?"

"I'm unsure. It was in Darcy's bag"

"Why would she have that?"

"I don't know"

"We should get Darcy! DARCY!"

Darcy came running back over, followed by Steve and Bruce, there was a bit of a crowd gathering now as well

"What on earth-?"
