"What is this place?" Thor asked.

"A safe house?" Tony answered but it came across as more of a question.

"Let's hope." Clint said as they all enter the house. "Honey, I'm home." A heavily pregnant woman came from around the corner. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead."

"Hey." She replied as she kissed Clint.

"This is an agent of some kind." Tony said looking at Thor.

"Gentleman, this is Laura." Clint said introducing the woman next to him.

"I know all your names." She said but everyone looked at her awkwardly not knowing what to do.

"Ooh, incoming." Clint said when he heard little footsteps running around.

"Dad!"

"Hi, sweetheart!" Clint said. "Hey, buddy! How you guys doing? Ooh..."

"These are...smaller agents." Tony muttered.

"Look at your face! Oh, my goodness!" Clint said as he looked at his daughter.

"Did you bring Auntie Nat?"

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Nat said as she made herself known making Clint's daughter run into her arms. Thomas let out a small smile at their interaction.

"Sorry for barging in on you." Steve said sincerely.

"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed." Tony added.

"Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. 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." Clint replied.

"Honey. Ah, I missed you." Laura said as Nat made her way over to her.

"How's little Natasha, huh?" Nat said touching Lauras stomach.

"She's...Nathaniel."

Natasha crouched towards Laura's stomach. "Traitor." She whispered.

The hallucinations brought on by Wanda continue to creep up in Thor's mind and he walks out of the house.

"Thor." Steve said following after him.

"I saw something in that dream. I need answers, I won't find them here." Thor used his hammer to fly away; Steve turns to enter the house when he hears Peggy's voice from Wanda's vision.

'We can go home.'

Instead of going inside, he turned and walked away.

"See, you worried for nothing. Can't even feel the difference, can you?" Clint said as Laura checked the wound he got in the forest.

"If they're sleeping here, some of them are gonna have to double up." Laura replied.

"Yeah, that's not gonna sell." Barton laughed.

"What about Nat and Thomas? How long has that been going on?"

"I don't know but I've secretly been trying to get Nat to talk to him more."

"You're playing matchmaker?"

"Yeah.."

"It's bad, right? Nat seems really shaken."

"Ultron has these allies, these uh, kids, they're punks really. They carry a big damn stick and Nat took a serious hit so did Thomas, he has never been so quiet. Someone's gonna have to teach 'em some manners."
