She lingered in front of the door to the so-called "family room". She could hear the Avengers talking and joking inside. She had been on a mission, which was supposed to last for a week, but it took her two. She completed the mission, it went well, it just took her longer than it should have. Overall, she'd say it was a success. It took her some time, but she did it with ease. 


One of the Avengers must have made a funny joke, because she could hear them all burst into peals of laughter. She wasn't sure if Clint's laughing was the loudest or not, but her mind picked it up and amplified it. His laugh sounded joyful, carefree, and wonderful, and she wished she had been the one to make him laugh like that. She wasn't jealous, she just missed hearing his laugh. Stop it, she said to herself, it's only been two weeks. 


As she peered into the room she could see she'd been wrong. He wasn't carefree, he was worried. His shoulders were tense, and he kept checking his phone.


She walked in, and the tension left his shoulders as soon as he saw her.
