You are my home

Safehouse pt. 2

Hey everyone! How is everyone? It's been once again far too long. I just started working night shifts at my new job so sleep and scheduling are everywhere. I will try to get more of these up soon for you all. Once again, thank you all for the support, and hope you still with me on this journey as always. P.S. Who is excited about the new black widow movie, haven't seen it yet but plan to! Love you all :))

Nat and I spent some time with Laura helping her clean and find something good to make for dinner while Steve and Tony are chopping wood outside. We just tried to find anything to keep our minds distracted till a plan or something could bring us on track again. Bruce is very distant from everyone so I gave him some books he could read that would keep him calm for now.

I am making lemonade for everyone while Nat flips through a magazine. "Let's see should I make chicken or pork," Laura asks while taking out some ingredients.

"I do love your pork but I guess chicken sounds good. I can make mashed potatoes," I always enjoyed it when I got the chance to cook. I never got to do it often but I love doing it.

"Chicken it is. Next question, tell me what's going on with your man," I chuckle at the last comment.

"What about my man?" I chuckle taking out the Chicken and seasoning.

"You guys have been together for a while...I feel like you haven't told me anything, spill." Laura playfully demands.

I tell her how close we have been getting and how much we spend time together doing all sorts of things. She listens to everything smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" I giggle.

"Awe, Rose. Okay, this is a sign. You have to get married already." Laura states as she pours some lemonade for the kids. I chuckle to myself.

"Slow down there wedding planner," I grab the pitcher and two glasses making my way outside.

"Not until you get this," Laura playfully holds up her hand waving the ring in the air. I laugh while rolling my eyes.

Clint stops me for a moment while measuring out his porch. "I wouldn't go over there just yet," he is measuring his porch.

"Why?" I set down the pitcher with two glasses.

"Cause it's amusing to watch those two go at it." I hear some banter between them. I pour one glass looking over and watch Steve rip a whole log in half. I knew Steve was strong but damn, why does he have to look so irresistible while doing it. The way his muscles flare as he does it... I feel something cool hit my hand and realize I overflowed the glass.

"Shit, sorry Clint, " I grab a towel and wipe the spot I spilled.

"Language rose," he laughs going back to his measuring. I roll my eyes, shoving him playfully.

Later that night, we gathered around the table eating. Nick always seems to show up when you least expect. Laura gets the kids ready for bed and Lila comes over to give nat and me a drawing.

"Aunty nat and rose, how many bad guys did you beat up?" I and Nat hold up our fingers and playfully tackle her as she giggles squirming. "This many," I laugh.

She always asks us this question. It is so amusing to watch how curious she is about everything. I give her a hug and kiss on the head before Clint scoops her up for bed. Steve looks over at me and smiles to himself. I wonder what he is thinking.

We have an alley?" Tony asks while playing darts with Clint.

"Apparently over at the Nexus, someone has been beating Ultron from the inside." Nick states.
