Black Death

Safe House

Trigger warning: cussing/language

Tony POV:

My thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Maria Hill. "The news is loving you guys," she stated. "Nobody else is. There's been no official call for Banner's arrest but it's in the air." "The Stark Relief Foundation?"I asked. "Already on the scene. How's the team?" "Everyone's -" I looked back at all of us then at my daughter who is still in the nightmare trance. "We took a hit. We'll shake it off." "Well, for now, I'd stay in stealth mode and stay away from here." "So, run and hide?" "Until we can find Ultron, I don't have a lot else to offer." "Neither do we,"I sighed, ending the call with Maria.

"Great this is so fucking great" I said as I hit a screen causing it to shatter. "Calm down tony it's ok" Natasha said, I pointed at my daughter who I now see is in the arms of Steve shaking and crying "it's ok, it's ok" I screamed as I pointed at Scarlett. "If it's ok then why is she still in that trance and we are not?" "FUCK" I called out hitting another screen. Clint walked over and patted my shoulder before sitting in the driver seat and taking control. " I have a safe house" he said before putting on headphones To block us out.I looked at my daughter again before walking over to her and taking her from Steve. I can't help but think that this is all my fault. What kind of father am I for this to happen. First she was taken by hydra and now she's trapped in her mind, this is my fault while Steve might be the leader of this group I carry the burden of everyone in it. I failed as a father, and I failed this team.After a while of flying we landed and Steve picked up Scarlett to carry her out.

[ UNMARKED LOCATION ]

No ones POV:
"What is this place?" Thor asked, as he walked up the stairs. "Safe house?" Tony replied, unsure. "Let's hope," said Clint, opening the door. "Honey, I'm home," said Clint. A pregnant, brunette woman walked out from the kitchen, looking at all of us. "Company. Sorry, didn't call ahead." "Hey," she responded, pulling Clint in for a kiss and hug. "This is an agent of some kind," claimed Tony. "Gentlemen and Stella, this is Laura," said Clint. Laura waved. "I know all of your names," she chuckled. Suddenly, They heard footsteps. "Ooh. Incoming," said Clint, facing the stairs. Out of nowhere, a small boy and an even smaller girl ran from the stairs yelling "dad!" to which Clint referred to them as "sweetheart" and "buddy". "These are smaller agents," Tony mumbled. "Now I understand why Clint is so bad with jokes. He's a dad. Dad jokes are terrible," Stave said, earning a chuckle from Laura. "Did you bring Auntie Nat?" asked the young girl. "Why don't you hug her and find out?" said Nat sweetly, walking up to the girl and lifting her into a warm embrace. "Sorry for barging in on you," Steve apologized. "Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed." Tony said. "Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined," Clint responded. "He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low." Crunch. Nat looked down to see that Thor had crushed the children's toy blocks before whistling and scooting them under a chair, trying not to look suspicious. Thor and Steve had walked out of the house after Steve sat Scarlett on the couch.and after a conversation Thor left to find more out about his vision. Laura looked over to see Scarlett on her couch crying and shaking. "Hunny what happened to her" she said to Clint. " i'll tell you later" he said before picking up Scarlett to put her in a spare bedroom. He walked back into the living room to converse with the team. It wasn't until the next day around 3 PM when Scarlett would wake up.

Scarlett POV:
I jerked awake to find myself in a strange room. I walked over to the window only to find that I'm in some strange farm I believe, looking from a tractor over the large acres of land; Dad is going to be mad is all I could think about when I realized we were at a certain secret farm.
