The QuinJet landed at the Avengers Tower and Ashlyn stayed with Tony an Steve has Maria walked into the Jet. Ashlyn watched has Thor walked out with the scepter and has Natasha and Bruce took her husband to Doctor Helen Cho to be worked on. "Hello boss." Stark looked at Maria and then at Ashlyn and Steve, "Actually they're the bosses, I'm just the guy that pays for everything, designs everything, and makes everyone look cooler.", Ashlyn rolled her eyes and the three walked off the jet going their separate ways, and Maria joined Ashlyn and Steve. "The two enhanced.", Maria opened her mouth but Ashlyn spoke, "Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, twins. Orphaned at the age of ten when a shell dropped on their Sokovian home." Steve and Maria looked at her, "What?", Maria shook her head Ashlyn sighed, "After they turned 18, they joined in the massive anti-iron man rallies and such. It appears a Stark shell for way back when is what hit their home." Ashlyn's watch beeped, "You can take it from here, I need to go check on Clint and make sure Tony doesn't do something Tonyish." Steve nodded at her and she jogged off. Maria shook her head, "That girl could do everyone's job if we'd let her." Steve nodded, "Tell me about them." Maria nodded and spoke very scientific to Steve and he raised an eyebrow, "He's fast and she's weird." Steve nodded, "I can't believe they volunteered for that." Steve stepped into the elevator and looked at Maria, "Right because what monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to help protect their country?" Maria looked at him, "We aren't at war.", Steve nodded his head, "They are.", and the elevator closed.
Ashlyn walked in right has Tony invited Helen to the party, "Unlike you I have things to do.", he sighed but she looked up, "Will Thor be there?", Ashlyn laughed and a smile formed on her face, "Yeah." Helen gave her a smile and everyone left the room but Ashlyn, she knelt down by Clint, "How you holding up?", he looked at her, "I'm a bit sore but I'll be good in a day or two" she gave him a smile and he looked at her, "Stop blaming yourself." She nodded and she pulled up the fines for him, "They're just kids, like I was." He looked at her and tears filled her eyes but she blinked rapidly, "You alright?", she nodded, "Yeah, I'll be better when you're okay." He gave her a smile, "I'm fine." She kissed him softly on the forehead and Clint failed to notice that her hand was resting on her stomach in a manner that was caring, "I know, I just don't like to see you hurt." He gave her a smile and kissed her on the lips, "We might not have much of an option with our line of work darling." She nodded, "I know.", she stood straight up and Tony watched her, "Jarvis, when you get the chance, scan her body. Tell me the results." Jarvis agreed and Ashlyn laughed at something Clint had said and stood up before walking out of the room and pulling the curtains so he could have privacy.
It had been three days and true to his word, Clint was doing better. Ashlyn was still worried about him though. She told Clint to go on to the party, she just need a few more moments, she sighed, she couldn't have alcohol and she didn't know how she was going to explain that one. She sighed and messed with her hair a bit then walked out of their room and went to the elevator, "The party, Mrs. Barton?", Ashlyn smiled, "The party Jarvis.", little did she know that the program took this time to scan her body and send results to the lab, not that they would be known by the group for a while. She took a deep breath and put on a smile, time to go to a famous Stark party.
Ashlyn stood with Steve and Sam at the pool table laughing, "You two have clearly had too much to drink." They looked at her with confusion on her face, mainly Steve. "I can't get drunk." She raised an eyebrow and a smirk, "Then you stink at Pool.", Sam laughed and Steve looked at her, "You any better Barton?", she scoffed, "Have you met my husband? He never misses a shot." She grabbed Sam's pool stick and looked over the table before setting up her shot in her head and looked at the two men over her shoulder and letting her pole smack the que ball, "He's taught me a few things." They watched in astonishment and amazement has three balls made it into the holes and each one was a stripe, "3 points for Sam." She gave the pole back to Sam and walked away, joining her husband at a couch.
•••••••••••••••••••• 5 Months Ago •••••••••••••••••
Ashlyn watched as Tony and Clint played pool, "You want to join in the next one babe?", she glanced at Clint and gave a smile, "No thank you. I've never actually learned how to play this." He raised an eyebrow, "Like you never used a bow.", she smirked, "I totally planned that." He smiled, "I realized that after I looked back on it." She rolled her eyes, "I am being completely truthful when I say I have never played a game of Pool in my life." Clint won, again and Tony rolled his eyes and stomped out, "He is a sore loser." Clint nodded and walked over to his wife, "Want to be the second best pool player?", she smirked, "I'll take you up on that offer." He smirked at her and the two began the month long journey of teaching Ashlyn how to play pool, the rules, and she mastered it.
•••••••••••••••••••••• Present Day •••••••••••••••••
Ashlyn smiled at the memory and Clint was in the middle of telling her something when she gave him a kiss, he smiled at her and she pulled back, "What was that for?", she smiled, "Because I can, you're all mine Barton." He smirked at her and kissed her again, "Just like you're all mine, Barton." She smiled and snuggled against him with her feet tucked under her butt, his arm around her shoulders, and her hand on his thigh. Natasha and Bruce smiled at them from the bar, Tony and Thor from the side, and Steve and Sam from the pool table. The other guest left and the Avengers, Maria Hill, Sam, and Rhodey joined the couple at the couches. Natasha offered Ashlyn a drink and Ashlyn declined, "Someone besides Steve has to watch over you children." Everyone chuckled at that and the door bell rang, "Take out." Ashlyn smirked, "Smell the Chinese." Everyone laughed again and Steve and Ashlyn handed out the food and the group fell into conversation.
