Natasha arrived at the raft. She stepped out of the ship that Clint had flown her in on.

Alarms were going off from what she could hear and she was greeted at the door. An unhappy looking man greeted her nonetheless.

"Agent Romanoff, I'm afraid you can't enter." He told her.

"You're having problems with Maximoff, aren't you?"

"That's classified."

"I have her brother. She'll calm down."

The man gave a sigh.

"She's gone. Disappeared with Loki. Left 12 guards injured and 4 dead." The man stated.

Natasha gritted her teeth before relaxing a bit.

"Now you're group should start listening when I tell you it's best to leave a subject with us." She stated.

"I think it's best you leave." The man told her.

"We will."

Natasha turned and got back on the ship.

"I assume it all went well." Clint said, speaking sarcastically.

The others sat around in the ship, having hoped for more action then being told they came here for nothing.

"Can't believe we fell for this again." Pietro sighed, rubbing his forehead.

...

The group went back to their various homes. Pietro didn't bother to try to enter the Stark Tower, knowing Tony was probably pissed at all of them, not to mention if they told Tony he was right, he'd be thrilled. Pietro didn't want to see that.

Clint offered to take him to his home, so Pietro took that offer since he didn't know what else to do.

It took a few hours to fly there, and Pietro wondered why he lived so far out. He nearly fell asleep on the fly over, but his thoughts kept him up. He wanted to believe that Wanda hadn't lied. He wanted to believe that she hadn't run off with the God of Mischief again, that she wasn't forcing herself into a stupid loop.

He didn't want her to die, he was glad she got out, but why did she have to leave with him of all people?

They finally landed the jet and the two men walked out, going towards a delux cabin. Clint led the way and Pietro had a confused look on his face.

"Honey, I'm home! Sorry for the false scare." Clint called as he entered the house.

"Honey? You finally got someone?"

"Sure do."

A young child, no more than 6 or 7 came out. She ran at Clint with a big grin.

"DADDY!"

Clint picked her up and spun her around, making Pietro even more confused. So this was why Clint refused to go out to clubs with him. Not the lame excuse of 'the loud music ruins my hearing aids' like an old man would say.

"I thought you had superhero stuff?" The little girl asked.

"It was a false alarm. Where are your brothers?" Clint responded.

"There's more?" Pietro asked.

"They're playing in their room. Mommy's in there too!" The little girl said.

Clint set her back down and she began towards the room she claimed the others to be in. Clint glanced back to Pietro.

"I didn't know you had children, let alone a girl." Pietro commented.
