Liliah sighed as she sat down inside the train. Kate and Clint were across from her.
" Oh we gotta walk the dog." Kate remembered.
" You're not wrong." Clint nodded.
" He's been cooped up all day. I'm not sure how long a dog can go-" Kate started.
" -call yourself one of the world's greatest archers." Clint cut her off.
Kate's eyes widen and she looked at him.
" Oh, my god. Do you really think so? I wasn't sure how I'd do under all that pressure-" Kate started to get excited.

" Probably should walk the dog. Don't you think? Been cooped up all day." Clint told her.
Liliah looked between the two before she chuckled, shook her head, and laid down on the rest of seats.

After a well needed shower, Liliah's phone started to ring. Clint nodded his head to the shower and Liliah nodded. He went in and shut the door.

" Liliah! Hey, Umm I'm going to go get Pizza dog some food." Kate told her.
" Umm okay-be careful and don't get followed." Liliah looked at the caller ID on her phone.
" I promise I won't." Kate called as she left.
Liliah hesitated to tell her something else but answered the phone instead.

" Hello my love." Liliah sighed.
" Hi sunflower. Are you okay you sound tired." Fred's voice came through the phone.
" I've only said three words to you." Liliah chuckled.
" It's like a sixth sense. Now is everything okay?" Fred asked.
" I'm fine. I'm just really tired." Liliah walked to the living room and sat down.
" What's the status on the suit?" Fred asked.

" We have it." Liliah said.
" That's good isn't it, you can come home now." Fred assumed.
Liliah hesitated for a moment.
" I'm going to need another day of two. Things complicated." Liliah told him.
She heard a faint sigh from the other side of the phone.
" Nat misses you." Fred said.
" I miss her too. And I miss you. How's everything over there?" Liliah asked.

" Good. Ginny is having the time of her life over here. Luna is planning on coming in a few days.  So that will be fun for her. Your parents are having a ball with Natasha. They absolutely adore her. And I'm-well I'm just trying to keep everything together while your gone." Fred gave her the run down.
" I wouldn't trust anyone else with the task. I bet you're doing amazing." Liliah smiled.
" I'd be better with you." Fred told her.
" Well obviously." Liliah joked.
Fred chuckled.

" I love you Liliah." Fred said.
" I love you too, Fred." Liliah said back.
" Be careful. I'll see you in a few days." Fred told her.
" See you in a few days. Give Nat a kiss for me." Liliah said.
" Will do. Bye, darling." Fred said.
" Bye my love." Liliah hung up.

Liliah closed her eyes and sunk back into the couch. Just a few more days, right?

Kate, Clint, Liliah and pizza dog sat on the stoop of a Chinese shop waiting for it to open.
Clint's phone buzzed and Clint opened it. Liliah looked over and saw a message from Kate. It said it's good they call you HawkEYE instead of HawkEAR.

Liliah threw her head back and laughed.
" Hahah. Block. Delete." Clint said.
An old Asian woman walked towards them.
" Morning." Kate stood.
" What are you waiting for?" She asked.
" Uh you. You're the doctor, right?" Kate asked.
" I'm very busy." She tried dismissing them.

" Well we really need this fixed. And here's a little something for your troubles." Liliah handed her the broken hearing aid and a fifty dollar bill.
" Okay five minutes and this is just down payment." She told her.
" I wouldn't expect anything else." Liliah said.
