Safe House

It was the next morning.

The jet pulled up to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, coming to a stop.

The team walked toward the house.

"What is this place?" Thor asked.

"Safe house," Tatiana answered.

"Let's hope," Clint told them, leading them inside. "Honey? I'm home." Clint's wife walked in. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead."

 Laura Barton smiled. "Hey."

They kissed.

"This is an agent of some kind," Tony told them.

"Everyone, this is Laura," Clint told them. 

"I know all of your names," Laura told them.

They heard running footsteps.

"Ooh, incoming," Clint told them.

Two little kids ran inside.

The girl ran into Clint's arms. "Dad!"

Clint picked the little girl up. "Hi, sweetheart." He wrapped his other arm around the boy. "Hey, buddy. How are you guys doing?"

"These are smaller agents," Tony told them.

Clint put the girl down.

"Did you bring Ana and Tati?" the girl asked.

Ana and Tatiana walked closer.

"Why don't you hug them and find out?" Ana asked.

The girl ran into Ana and Tatiana's arms.

The three sisters embraced.

Tatiana held her other arm toward their brother. "Come here."

Their brother embraced his three sisters.

They pulled away.

"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve told them.

"Fury helped me set this up after Nat and the twins were taken and missing for six years," Clint told them. "Honestly, I thought they were gone, and not just in the wind."

"Which is why we told you it was okay to move on," Natasha told him.

"I figure this is a good place to lay low," Ana told them.

Thor stepped on some toys accidentally.

Natasha looked at Laura's pregnant belly. "How's little Natasha doing?"

"She's Nathaniel," Laura told her.

Natasha leaned closer to Laura's belly to whisper. "Traitor."

The little girl walked up to Thor, looking up at him.

Thor flashed back to his hallucination, walking away toward the door.

Bree followed him in concern. "Thor?"

They walked outside.

"I saw something in that dream," Thor told her. "I need answers. I won't find them here."

Thor swung his hammer around, flying away.

Bree sighed, turning to walk inside.

She remembered Bucky's voice from her own hallucination. "We can go home. Imagine it. We can be together. Finally."

Bree turned away from the house, thinking worriedly about her own hallucination, walking away.
