July 19 2015-Compound Cafe-Sarah POV

Right now we're eating breakfast together, mostly Uncle James, Natasha, Steve and myself. It's pretty silent, but by the time Sam and Tony walk in, the whole table's buzzing with conversation.

"So, when do you start school?" Sam asks as he walks up

"I don't know." I shrug

"September ninth." Steve nods as he sips on some orange juice

"Have you done the paperwork yet?" Uncle James asks

"No, you can come with me if ya want. They might even offer Sarah a tour of the place if we bring her with us." Steve adds

"Yeah, i'll go. I wanna see where Sarah's gonna be stuck all day for the next few years."

I lay my head down on the table at the word "years", ones i'm really nervous to live out. It seems that I drew some attention to myself on accident from Uncle James since within a few seconds I feel a familiar and comforting hand of his rubbing circles on my back. I lean into the motion, almost knocking over his glass of water that's sitting next to his plate.

He moves it to the other side and slides over to me to where I can keep myself within the vicinity of his warmth. When I turn my head to the right, I see Steve glancing at Uncle James and I from them corner of his eye while he drinks even more juice.

"You'll be okay, Doll. If you want to, I can walk you into school so you're not doing it alone." Uncle James suggests

"You would do that?" I ask as I turn my head to look at him

"Девочка, он бы сделал для тебя все, что угодно." Natasha chuckles

("Girl, he would do anything for you.")

"Что-нибудь?" I ask my uncle

("Anything?")

"Что угодно." he nods

("Anything.")

"Спасибо." I tell him as I give him a genuine look

("Thank you.")

I smile to myself before looking around the table, only to see Steve looking away, Natasha with a smile on her face and Sam with his jaw dropped open.

"What?" I ask him

"You're good at speaking Russian." Sam shakes his head

"I try my best to sound my worst, but it doesn't work as well as I wish it did." I shrug

"Hey guys, Laura kicked me out the house for now because I promised to stop making house repairs..apparently jumping back into doing it in the midst of her postpartum recovery..is considered lying." Clint announces as he walks into the large dining room

"You forgot to tell her your plans for the dining room, didn't you?" Natasha asks him

"That and I kept accidentally waking up the baby, so here I am."

He walks over and sits next to her, she sighs and scoots over a little bit to make room for him.

"Well, we need more food and Pepper still isn't talking to me. So get in a car, we're going to the store." Tony announces as he closes the refrigerator

"All of us?" I ask

"Yeah." he nods

I look at everybody to see a good few people looking at me.

"I mean, you can stay here. It's a high security facility, even then I know you can defend yourself, but all of us need to go shop since I forgot what everybody likes and Friday doesn't have that information on certain people yet." Tony mentions to me
