Age of Ultron

Ashlynn and the twins arrived at the tower just as Clint was done in the lab.

"Oh god it's all my fault. I never should have met her gone!" Clint groaned and out his head in his hands.

Before walking in Ashlynn told the twins to wait there. The nodded and Ashlynn walked in.

"I'm back!" Ashlynn exclaimed.

"Ash!" Clint heard and ran to her. He immediately hugged her than pulled back checking for places she could be hurt. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine dad. And I actually found on Alf my old friends from Sokovia and her brother." Ashlynn looked around the room at everybody. "When I tell them to come in here, promise not freak out?"

Everyone nods, unsure of who might want through the doors.

"Wanda, Pietro, come on in." Ashlynn called.

The twins walked in and Wanda immediately went to stand behind Ashlynn.

It was not hard to tell that the air was full of tension the moment they stepped in.

"Now before anyone says anything," Ashlynn started, "I need to say something first."

Ashlynn waited to see if anyone would say anything before continuing. "I know what this might look like, but I promise I have a good reason. Wanda was my friend when I was little and their parents died in the same explosion that Lucy and Xavier did. But today, I found out what caused the explosion." Ashlynn looked to Tony. "Tony, it was one of your bombs. Wanda and Pietro thought that you bombed Sokovia on purpose. They wanted revenge. I convinced them to come with me so they could learn the truth."

All eyes turned to Tony and they could all see that he started to tear up. "Wanda, Pietro, I am truly sorry. I know it may be too late for apologies but I didn't know what was being done with my creations until it was far too late. I was reckless and it cost the lives of too many. I'm sorry that you're parents were taken from you. No one that young deserves to go through that. I want you to know that I know that an apology is not nearly enough, but if you would like, we can offer you comfort and a home, even if it's just temporary."

Ashlynn turned back to the twins and saw her former best friend crying so she hugged her.

"You three look like you need a break. Wanna throw a party?" Tony said.

"Of course you wanna throw a party." Clint laughed.

"Well, yeah, you just got your daughter back and she got her best friend back, and we took down Strucker and another Hydra base. I think that deserves a celebration!" Tony exclaimed.

Wanda and Pietro winced. "Sorry about that by the way," Wanda said, "For what happened at the base. Especially the visions I planted in your heads. I am truly sorry."

"It's fine," Clint waved it off like it was nothing. "Oh, and by the way, Ashlynn, what happened to your voice?"

"My voice? Oh you mean my accent! Do you not remember the accent I had when you adopted me?" Ashlynn stared at Clint. "Oh yeah.... I didn't talk to a- you for a few months. I taught myself how to speak like you did. I saw the twins and I stopped trying to suppress my real accent."

"Well Ash," Clint said, "I love your accent. You shouldn't ever feel the need to hide anything about yourself from your family and friends."

"Now go get changed! All of you!" Tony laughed.

"Come on, Wanda. I've got some clothes you should be able to fit in."

"Pietro I might have some clothes you can wear." Clint said.

"Thank you mr...."

"Clint. Just call me Clint."
