"They're what?" You asked in a deadpanned tone as Clint informed you of the news.
His hands shot up quickly in surrender, "Don't shoot the messenger."
Tony looked just as unhappy as you to find out that Pietro, Jessie, Katherine, Vision, and Wanda were coming by for a visit.
"They told us they were coming back three months after they left." You growled at Clint, even though it wasn't his fault at all. "That was almost five years ago now! Minerva is four and a half for Christs sake!"
"He knows that Y/N." Sam said, wrapping his arms around you in an attempt to soothe you. "We all know that. They know it too."
"Suddenly it's convenient for them to come and pick her up?" You growled.
"They didn't even say they were coming for her." Bucky said. "They said they wanted to visit as they haven't seen us in a while."
"Gosh, I wonder why." Tony rolled his eyes.
"But what do you guys want to do then?" Fury asked, trying to settle everyone down. "Y/N, Minerva isn't our child. She is theirs. Even if they-"
"Left her behind?" You offered. "Abandoned her?"
"-even so, they're still her soulmate parents. She's their soulmate child. We're not." Fury sighed. "They made bad decisions as parents-"
"As human beings." You and Tony interjected together.
"-but it will be a better environment for her with her soulmate parents and that's what we all really want for her." Fury finished.
You had to hand it to him. He was able to stay calm with you and Tony ganging up on him. But then again, Fury was not easily shaken.
"Will it?"
Surprisingly, it was Loki who interjected and everyone looked at him. "I don't think I was better off on Jotun. Obviously, my adopted parents weren't my soulmate parents but they gave me a better life than could be given."
"That's different." Steve said. "Vision, Wanda, and Pietro are not bad parents. They just got side-tracked."
"That's certainly one way of putting it." Tony scoffed. Stephen slipped his hand into his, squeezing it to comfort him. Tony leaned into him.
"How about this." T'Challa said quickly. "We can just watch how they act around Minerva when they're here and then we can see how you guys feel about her going with her parents. But it's not exactly like we can keep her if they want to take her."
He had a point. Even Tony wouldn't win a lawsuit against them if we really took it that far. You chewed on your bottom lip, still feeling put out. It was just wasn't fair to Minerva.
"She deserved better." Was all you said before you started to take hamburger out for dinner.
"I agree. We all agree. Hell, even they agree and that's one of the reasons that they took so long in coming to see us." Fury said. "But we'll deal with it when they get here. One problem at a time Y/N."
You nodded. One problem at a time.
The family meeting soon dispersed and you were left mostly alone in the kitchen to cook dinner.
"Auntie?" Minerva's voice made you jump. You spun around, putting the lid on the hamburger.
"Minerva! Sorry sweetheart, you just scared me a little bit." You said, noting that she was sitting in the corner, looking upset. "What's wrong?"
"Are people coming for me?" She asked.
You cursed mentally. But it was your own fault for being so loud about the conversation. Not to mention she could've walked in at any time. Heck, she could've easily eavesdropped outside the doors.
