The Teen Avenger (Book 3) (Avengers X OC)

Safe house (11)

Tony's POV:

'Let's get out of here fast.' She said and picked Bruce up with her powers as we flew to the jet. Bruce was broken out in cold sweat. Mia helped him sit and gave him a blanket, wincing at teh pain but making sure that Bruce didn't see it. She then limped to the corner and started to see what had happened to her. She bandaged her forehead and removed the shards of glass of her. After that, she went towards her seat beside the co-pilot's and sat on it, putting her head in her hands. Everyone else were still in a daze. Guess the witch messed with their minds as well. Suddenly, I got a call from Agent Hill.

'The news is loving you guys. No one else is.' She said.

'There's been no official call for Banner's arrest, but it's in the air.' She said, this caused Mia to say something.

'That wasn't even his fault. Why is he having to pay the prize when it was someone else who caused it?' She said, clearly not happy.

'Mia, I didn't call for it. I'm just saying what is happening.' She said and Mia nodded.

'Stark Relief Foundation?' I asked.

'Already on the scene. How's the team?' She asked.

'Everyone's...' I started but trailed off.

'We took a hit. We'll shake it off.' Mia said.

'Well, for now I'd stay in stealth mode. and stay away from here.' Hill said. 

'So, run and hide?' I asked.

'Until we can find Ultron, I don't have anything else to offer.' She said.

'Yeah, neither do we.' Mia said and I hung up the call. She went to her seat and sat on it, wincing. I went up to Clint, who was on the pilot seat.

'Hey do you wanna switch out?'

'No, I'm good. If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time. Cause, we're still a few hours out.' He said.

'A few hours from where?' I asked.

'A safe house.' he said. I went up to a seat and fell asleep. 

Mia's POV:

So, getting thrown through walls and windows from the Hulk, how should I describe it? Painful. Painful like you never know. Getting to Hulk was definitely a challenge. But I completed it. That is what I do. No matter how difficult it is, complete the task. I don't care how many times I have to be beaten up, I have to and will complete the task. I really hate one thing. People getting blamed for the things that they didn't do. So when I heard the Bruce might be getting arrested, I lost it. After that conversation with Hill, I sat back down on my seat. Sure my body felt like it was on fire and had been beaten up by the Hulk but it was fine. I'll get past it. I leaned my head back and a few tears escaped my eyes from exhaustion and everything else that happened in the day. I fell asleep after an hour and woke up when someone shook me awake. I immediately got alert and sent a punch their way. It was Clint and he caught it.

'Easy. It's me.' He said and I nodded, letting my guard down for a few minutes.

'Come on. We're here.' He said as he helped Nat up. I got up and bent down to stretch out, I forgot the pain in my body and hissed as I got back up. Whatever had happened had definitely healed but I was really sore now. I checked my phone and the first thing I noticed was the date. 

27th July. It was my 15th Birthday. Of course, I've never celebrated it, I never felt the need to. After that, I walked out of the jet. Behind Bruce, he was looking down. I decided to talk to hm.

'Hey. How are you holding up?' I asked.

'Mia, I'm sorry. I-' he started to say but I interrupted him.

'Bruce, it's fine. I'm fine and it's okay. I don't blame you.' I said and gave him a smile. He seemed to relax more at that. We then reached the house that Clint was leading us to. I knew about his family but had never met them. 

'What is this place?' Thor asked.

'A safe house?' Tony said in a matter of fact tone.

'Let's hope.' Clint said as we went inside. 

'Honey, I'm home.' Clint said and Laura, I'm assuming, his wife came out of another hallway.

'Hi. Company, sorry, I didn't call ahead.' Clint said giving a small kiss to her.

'This is an agent fo some kind.' Tony said, causing me to roll my eyes. 

'Gentleman, this is Laura.' Clint said. Tony just gave an awkward hand wave to her.

'I know all your names.' She said, laughing a bit. Suddenly two kids rushed down the stairs. The look on Steve's face was priceless.

'These are... smaller agents.' Tony said.

'Did you bring Auntie Nat?' The girl, Lila asked him.

'Why don't you hug her and find out?' Nat said, coming out of her dry spell.

'Sorry for barging in on you.' Steve said.

'Yeah, we would've called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed.' Tony said.

'Yeah well, Fury help me set this up when I first joined. He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D's files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figured it's a good place to law low.' He said and everyone nodded. I heard a small crunch and saw that Thor had stepped on a toy house. He suddenly went out, Steve following him. 

'How little Natasha huh?' Nat asked.

'She's, Nathanial.' Laura whispered, causing Nat to say to her belly 'traitor.' I saw Thor fly up and Steve looked in great thought. I decided to go to him.

'Hey.' I said, coming to him.

'Hi.' he said.

'You okay?' I asked and he chuckled.

'Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question?' he said and I smiled.

'Yeah, I'll be fine. I just need to get some air.' he said and walked away. I took a deep breath and walked back in.

'Hi. Mia right?' Laura asked me and I nodded.

'Clint's told me a lot about you.' She said and I smiled. I'm pretty sure I looked terrible. My hair was messy, my face was littered with bruises and my voice was hoarse.

'Come on. I'll give you some clothes to change in and you can freshen up.' she said and I nodded, following her.
