"You know, when you used that electric arrow thing on Wanda I was going to kill you. I mean now I know why you did it but back then I hated the Avengers and I was just filled with hate. I'm glad she stopped me."

"Yeah? Well I wanted to break your jaw every time you said that phrase of yours."

"Its a good phrase!"

"Mr Barton."

"Clint? Clint don't go!"

"Mr Barton you need to wake up."

"Clint!"

"Mr Barton. Your presence is needed in the garage."

"What?" Clint asked the voice that was waking him up.

"legolas get out of bed and go to the garage." F.R.I.D.A.Y said in a voice that sounded weirdly like a female Tony.

"Sure thing sugar." Clint said as he shook himself awake.

"Don't be getting all sweet on me Barton. Also may I advise that you drink less before you go to sleep? You are rather difficult to wake up like this." F.R.I.D.A.Y said before leaving Clint with silence.

Clint looked around his room. Half a bottle of Jack Daniels was on the floor by the bed. How and when did start drinking that? He looked down at himself. He had nothing on. Must have been a wild night. He picked out a purple t shirt with an target on his chest and a black pair of jeans. If it was the garage he was needed at  it wouldn't be that important. He went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. He looked at himself in the mirror when memories of his dream started to come back to him. Pietro.

Nope. Not thinking about that yet. He was needed and he was not thinking about a depressing subject at ten in the morning.

Clint opened the garage door and walked in. Right in the middle was a black limo. He walked towards it not knowing what the hell to expect when the back door opened.

"Dad!" Lila and Cooper shouted as they jumped out of the limo. They ran at their dad with massive smiles and wide open arms. Clint dropped to his knees and took his kids into his arms and hugged them as hard as he could.
"Dad! We can't breath!" Cooper said as he tried to squirm away.

"Sorry but I've missed you so much!" He said kissing the tops of their heads as he stood up again.

"We have another surprise for you!" Lila said as she grabbed his left hand and dragged him to the opposite side of the limo. Cooper opened the other passenger door and sat inside was the one and only Jane Foster holding a chubby Nathaniel in her arms.

"Jane?!" Clint said with another smile on his face. "Holy shit what are you doing here?"

"Haha language Clint their are children present. And to answer your question; I'm now working here! It was rather a last minute decision on my end but I thought why the hell not?"Jane said as she exited the limo. Clint took Nathaniel from her.

"Where you all staying?" Clint asked as he looked at the group around him.

"Pepper said Steve would sort it out when we got here." Jane told him.

"Pepper's involved? Wait of course she's involved. I should probably take you inside." Clint said with a smile.

"And then he just disappeared!" Cooper said waving his chocolate bar in the air. Clint laughed. "Dad its true! The man in the black mask was magic or something!" Cooper was currently telling Clint and Jane about how a man in a black mask had stopped his friends dad from being mugged.

"From what I've heard people are calling him the Devil of Hells Kitchen." Natasha said from behind  Cooper making him jump.

"Auntie Nat!" Cooper said as he spun around in his seat and hugged her.

"Uncle Steve!" Lila shouted as she ran to the door that Steve was currently walking through.

"Uncle Steve?" Clint asked himself mainly.

"Key kiddo! When did you get here?" Steve asked her as he picked her up.

"Like an hour ago. Mom said we are staying for two weeks!"

"You are?" Steve asked as he looked up at Clint.

"Well I'm staying for longer but these guys are here for a fortnight." Jane said as she came into Steve line of sight.

"Its good to see you Jane." Steve said with smile "Soooo.... shall I take you to your rooms?" Steve asked smiling at the kids.

"Yes!" They shouted excitedly.

"Well then if you would like to follow me I'll take you on a grand tour." Steve lead Jane, Cooper and Lila out of the kitchen to show them around leaving Clint, Natasha and a sleeping Nathaniel.

"When did Steve become Uncle Steve?" Natasha asked him with a smile.

"Honestly I don't know. Maybe Laura told them to call him that. How's your knee?"

"Better. I only have to wear a knee support for a few days. How are you? I heard you had a big night last night."

"I did?"

"You and Tony. You had a talk about failed relationships and bonded over alcohol."

"I have no memory of this." Clint said frowning.

"Me and Steve found the pair of you spooning on the floor. You were the big spoon don't worry."

"What the fuck." Clint whispered.

"Hmm F.R.I.D.A.Y has a video of you both would you like to see?" Natasha asked with a smirk.

"Fuck no. I don't ever want to see that. So... you find anything out?"

"Other than the fact that you and Tony are a cute couple? No. haven't been able to do much and I asked Steve and he said it was nothing to worry about."

"Damn it." Clint said as he put his head in his hands. "They are definitely hiding something."

"Agreed. Oh I almost forgot, Tony wants to talk to you about going to hospital? Apparently he needs to go too and thought it would be a good idea if you and Wanda went at the same time. Anyway he's got all the details and that was the reason I was looking for you." Natasha said as she stood. "Now I'm gonna have to go and talk to our favourite doctor so don't interrupt me." She said as waved goodbye.

Clint waved back and looked down at Nathaniel who was asleep in his arms. "I guess we should go and talk to our mad engineer." Clint looked into Nathaniel's eyes. "My little Pietro."
