At the end of the night, Nanala believed that something bad had happened to Clint. She hadn't heard from him, and he hadn't made any indication for her to know that he was safe. She had wanted to aparate away to find him, but she knew would scold her if he knew that she had left the hideout in search of him, after he had blatantly told her that he could take care of himself and that he was trying to protect her.

As she laid in bed trying to calm her racing mind, she heard a noise inside of the hideout. Quickly grabbing her wand, she stood to her feet and held her wand up defensively. She walked around the hideout slowly to try and find whoever was making the noise, but when she didn't find anyone she became anxious. Her heart almost leapt from her chest when someone grabbed her from behind, placing one hand on her mouth, holding the arm with her wand behind her back.

"Calm down, it's just me." She heard, and she instantly recognized Tony's voice.

As soon as he had let her go, she whipped around and glared at him.

"What are you doing here?!" She exclaimed, making the man sigh.

"I'm here to take you home." He replied, and she quickly shook her head.

"No, I'm not going back to America. I'm not going to jail because of that stupid government contract." She spat, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.

"That's not why I'm here. I'm here to take you home, to keep you from ruining yourself. These bad guys you've killed, it's going to weigh down on you conscience. I know it will, and I don't want you to make it worse. You need to stop, and the only way for me to get you to stop is to take you home." He said, making her frown.

"I'm fine." She answered flatly, as she crossed her arms.

"No, you're not," He retorted,"Look, if you come home, you can stay with Pep and I. You don't have to deal with anyone or anything, you can live a quiet life in the middle of nowhere. You can meet your god daughter, Morgan." He informed, making her eyes widened.

"God daughter?" She questioned, and Tony nodded.

"Pepper and I have a little girl, she's a little over a year old right now. She's beautiful, Nala, and I know you'll love her. Pepper and I want you to be her godmother, if you'd accept it." He said, and his heart skipped a beat when he seen the girl's lips turn into a tiny smile.

"I-I'd love to," She answered,"I just—I don't know if I can leave." She murmured, causing the man to smile sadly.

"He'll be fine, y'know, and I'll leave a device on him so you can find him whenever you want with your magic. This way you'll never lose him, and you'll be able to see him whenever you want." He replied, making her eyes go wide.

"I didn't...how did you know?" She asked, causing him to chuckle.

"You two are leaving a trail of bodies, Nala, it's not that hard to figure out." He answered, making her slightly nod.

"Can I see him, before we leave?" She asked, and Tony nodded.

"Go, I'll get you an outfit to wear while you're gone. I'm sure you'd rather not wear your suit." He commented, causing her to shrug.

He watched her aparate away, before he left a little note for Clint, telling him that he could contact Tony or Nanala at any time if he ever wanted to come home and needed somewhere to stay. He then left the hideout and headed to the store to get Nanala a new outfit to wear to the airport, after he made sure to purchase two plane tickets home.

Nanala had easily found Clint, but when she found him, he had just finished killing a couple members of the cartel. Instead of waiting in the area, she grabbed him and aparated back to their hideout.

"Nanala--" He began, but she cut him off.

"I'm going home with Tony." She said, causing his eyes to widen.

"You can't. He'll just send you to jail like he did to us before. Nala, I'm trying to lead him away." Clint argued, but Nanala shook her head.

"No, he said he's trying to protect me. He wants me to move in with him and Pepper, and he wants me to meet my god daughter." She replied, causing him to gasp quietly.

"God daughter?" He asked, and she nodded.

"He and Pepper have a little girl, her name's Morgan. They named me as her godmother, Clint. I-I want to meet her, but I promise, if he tries anything, I'll be right back here after I jinx him." She said, causing Clint to sigh.

"Fine, but you better promise me you'll be safe," He commented,"I can't lose you too." He added, barely above a whisper.

"You won't." She answered, hugging the man.

"It's time to go. The plane will be leaving soon." Tony announced, as he entered the hideout, ending the moment between Clint and Nanala.

The two signed "I love you" to each other, before Clint disappeared from view to hide from Tony. Tony came into the room and handed Nanala a bag.

"Go get dressed quickly. Put your suit in your little bag, then we can go." He said, and she nodded.

Nanala quickly went to the bathroom and switched into her new clothes. She stuffed her suit into her bag, before taking a glance at herself in the mirror.

Tony hadn't completely failed at buying her an outfit. Once she was ready, she left the bathroom and joined Tony's side. She hated leaving Clint alone, especially after everything that had happened, but she had to do what she thought was going to be good for her. Eventually she would come back, and she would definitely see Clint again. She wasn't going to leave him forever...
