Hope's POV:

After returning to the ranch I had FRIDAY call all the Avengers to the barn.

"So, what are we doing here?" Sam asked.

"Follow me and you will find out."

I headed to the back of the barn while the team followed after me.

"Tada," I said as I stood in front of Miracle's stall.

I chuckled as Nat and Wanda both awed when they saw her.

"Awe."

"She is so small and cute."

"Adorable."

"Yes, cute horse, but seriously why are we here?" Sam asked again.

"Alright, fine, but you are so asking for it Sam, so Miracle is being bottle fed right now but I also want to introduce her to other human contacts, positive human contact," I looked at Sam when I said the last part, "behind you is her feeding schedule throughout the day and night and I want all of you to take turns at each of her feedings to give her her bottle and because Sam wants to be a little smart ass he will get a first shift on her night feedings tonight."

"Wait, what?" Sam looked shocked.

"You heard me, I didn't stutter," everyone else snickered.

"Wow, you got told," Nat told Sam.

"Alright, while you all making fun of Sam for sticking his foot in his mouth come over here so I can show you how to make her bottle."

The team circled me and I showed them how much water and milk supplement powder was needed.

"Okay, who wants to go first?"

"Oh, me," Wanda immediately snatched the bottle from my hand.

"Okay, but you need to approach her gently, let her smell you first then offer her the bottle," I instructed Wanda she did as I said and Miracle happily took the bottle.

"Oh my gosh, she took it," Wanda whispered.

"That's good, soon I'm going to start introducing her to the other horses as well as to the halter."

"How do you plan on introducing her to the other horses?" Bruce asked.

"A few at a time to keep Miracle safe since she is so young and small, I want to make sure that she and the other horses are calm when they meet so an accident does not happen," I told him, "now since Sam will cover the night shift who all wants to take what times before his shift?"
