With everybody back on the Quinjet, freed from their respective visions. "The news is loving you guys. Nobody else is. There's been no official call for Banner's arrest, but it's in the air." Hill said. "Stark Relief Foundation?" asked Tony. "Already on the scene. How's the team?" "Everyone's... we took a hit. We'll shake it off." Tony replied. "Well for now I'd stay in stealth mode, and stay away from here." "So, run and hide." Nova affirmed. "Until we can find Ultron, I don't have a lot else to offer." "Neither do we." Tony replied as he ended the call and switched off the monitor. He then turned to Clint who was flying the Quinjet. "Hey, you wanna switch out?" "No, I'm good. If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time, cause we're still a few hours out." Clint said. "Where are we going?" Nova asked, approaching the two men. "A safe house."

The Quinjet landed outside a large farmhouse and they all walked towards the house. "What is this place?" Thor asked. "A safe house...?" Tony replied. "Let's hope." Clint replied. He opened the door and they all entered the house. "Honey, I'm home." Clint exclaimed as his heavily pregnant wife, Laura, walked in from the kitchen. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead." "Hey." Laura kissed Clint. "This is an agent of some kind." Tony stated, Thor and Nova turned to him. "Gentleman, this is Laura." Clint introduced his wife to the team. "I know all your names." Laura affirmed.
They all looked at her awkwardly. They heard noises from upstairs coming closer. "Ooh, incoming." Clint's children, Cooper and Lila ran in. "Dad!" He picked up his daughter and hugged his son, "Hi, sweetheart! Hey, buddy! How you guys doing? Ooh... Look at your face! Oh, my goodness!" "These are... smaller agents." Tony added. "Did you bring Auntie Nat?" Lila asked. "Why don't you hug her and find out?" Natasha replied as Lila rushed towards her, who picked her up in her arms.
"Sorry for barging in on you." Steve said. "Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed." Tony added. "Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off SHIELD's files, I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low." Clint replied. "Honey. Ah, I missed you." Laura said to her husband. "How's little Natasha, huh?" asked Natasha, touching Laura's stomach. "She's... Nathaniel." Laura replied. Natasha bended towards Laura's pregnant stomach. "Traitor."
The hallucinations brought on by Wanda continued to creep up in Thor's mind and he walked out of the house. Steve and Nova Sadie followed him outside. "Thor." Steve said. "Where are you going?" Nova asked. "I saw something in that dream. I need answers, I won't find them here." Thor replied and he used his hammer to fly away. Steve and Nova turned to enter the house when he heard Peggy's voice from Wanda's vision. "We can go home." Instead of going inside, Steve turned and walked away. "Dad...?" Nova called him. "I want some alone time." Steve replied. Nova watched as he walked away.
