THE LITTLE GIRL

Chapter Nine

NATAHSA'S POV:

The next morning I woke up and went down to the kitchen where I found Clint sat at the counter with a coffee cup in his hand and a plate with some toast on it.

"Good morning, how'd sleep?"

"Morning, fine, I guess. How about you?" He asked me back as I started making my own breakfast.

"I slept good, thanks. Got any plans for today?" I asked and sat down infront of him.

"Yeah, I'm going back to Laura and the kids tomorrow morning, I gotta pack my stuff before I go" he said and looked up to me.

"Oh that's nice, you know I had an idea. How about we meet Taylor and Laila? They're around the same age no? Laila is 15 right?" I suggested. I have been thinking about it last night and it might be good for Taylor to be with some kids her age considering we don't really have that here.

"Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. Let's wait until she wakes up and ask her" he said and we both left to do out stuff.

I went down to the training room and started warming up, today was Friday, which means barely anyone was going to train as well.

"Morning" I turned around and saw Steve walk in. Well, anyone but Steve I guess.

We both kept training without talking very much, we both were the kind who likes quiet and lonely training, so we just ignored each other the whole time.

When I finished, I walked back to my room and took a shower, then changed into some more comfortable clothes.

I decided to see how Taylor was going, since it was already 9:30 am, and she was usually up right now.

I walked to her room and knocked on her door. "Taylor it's me Nat, can I come in?" I asked but got no answer.

Assuming she was still sleeping, I slowly opened her door, but when I looked inside her bed was empty. "Taylor?" I called her but again I got no answer.

I walked down when I saw Tony, Wanda, Bruce and Thor all sitting down talking.

"Hey guys have you seen Taylor this morning? I can't find her anywhere" I asked as I walked in.

"No, I haven't seen her since last night, we talked  a little but then I went to sleep and I never saw her after" Tony said. "Maybe she's in the training room?" Wanda suggested.

"She's not, I've just been there" Steve said as he walked out of the training room, hearing our conversation.

"Ok, no need to panic, she's here somewhere. Maybe she went for a walk?" Bruce said.

"I'll go check the cameras" Tony said and left to his lab and I followed.

He went and checked the cameras since he last saw her "here, stop. There she is" I said and we watched her.

We saw her go out of the compound and started running. "See, she just went for a run, nothing to worry about" he said.

"She wouldn't have gone without leaving a message, and it was three and a half hours ago, something's wrong" I said "can you check the cameras in the street to follow where she went?" He nodded and started looking for her.
