"Don't you ever wonder how we survive?"

Harley and Clint are hidden behind the entrance of the living area slash kitchen in the Avengers base. In Clint's hand was a small detonator that would set off an explosion in the yard, hopefully distracting Vision long enough for the two heroes to grab Wanda and get out.

Harley peeks through the window to see Vision and Wanda standing in the far end of the room. She nods to Clint, signaling for him to go ahead with the plan.

The room is illuminated with a blinding yellow light as the explosion is set off.

"What is it?" Wanda asks worriedly.

"Stay here please." Vision says, morphing through the wall and going to investigate.

"That was easy." Clint whispers.

They emerge from their hiding place and approach Wanda, who of course senses their presence and uses her powers to lift two knives  off the table and send it flying towards them.

The knives stops just in front of each of their eyes, and Clint raises his eyebrows at the weapon, flicking it away with his fingers.

"Guess we should've knocked." He jokes.

"Oh my god." Wanda breathes, letting the knives clatter to the ground. "What are you doing here?"

"Rescuing a friend and disappointing Clint's kids." Harley smiles, hugging the taller girl.

Clint walks past the two hugging girls and gets two arrows out of his sheath, shooting one on the wall, and the other on the side of the kitchen island.

"We were supposed to go water skiing." He explains, seeing the confusion of Wanda's face. He sees Vision approaching from outside the window. "But Cap needs our help, come on." He puts a hand on her back and urges her towards the door.

"Clint. Harleen." The trio stop at the sound of Vision's voice. "You should not be here."

"Really? I retire for what, like five minutes and it all goes to shit." Clint scoffs, annoyed.

"Call me Harleen again and I'll plug you in to charge and throw you in a bathtub." Harley grabs Wanda's hand in her own and pulls her behind Clint.

"Please consider the consequences of your actions." Vision states calmly.

"Okay, they're considered." Clint replies immediately.

As Vision floats towards them, the arrows Clint planted send out an electric charge and renders the android-like man powerless for a few seconds.

"Okay, we gotta go." Clint says, running to the door with Harley at his side.

They turns back when they notice that Wanda has not moved. "It's this way." Clint points to the door.

"I've caused enough problems." Wanda says solemnly, pulling at the ends of her sleeves.

"Wanda, we've all caused problems." Harley says. "Especially me. I've caused more than I can even remember. I know what you're going through, and as long as I'm around, you're not alone."

Wanda gives the younger girl a look of admiration and appreciation at the heartfelt words.

"Gotta help us out Wanda." Clint interrupts, his word not as kind and heartfelt as Harley's. "Look, you want to mope, you can go to highschool. You make amends, you get off your ass." His words are cut short when he sees Vision using his infinity stone to fry the charges. "Shit."
