Choosing You

Chapter 8 Mission

A/N: Chapter 8 is here!! I hope you enjoy it :) Review please :)

The flight to Clint's home was silent. Clint was concentrating on steering the quinjet, whilst Wanda's mind was on the event that just happened between her and Steve not longer than half an hour ago. When they were pulled back from the kiss, Steve wanted to say something but Clint cut him. He was shouting from the quinjet to tell Wanda to be on board. Therefore, they didn't had the time to discussed what just happened. Did it mean something or was it just a friendly goodbye kiss. Wanda preferred the first one. She didn't want to lie to herself anymore. She started to have feelings for Steve. But she was afraid to admit it to him. She was afraid that the situation between them would be awkward. But after the kiss, she couldn't help thinking about what Steve thought about her. What Steve felt about her. Was she only a little kid that needed protection or was she someone who had had an important meaning to him.

"Hey, kid, are you okay?" Clint startled her. With heavy thinking she had, she didn't notice that he was standing in front of her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She half lied.

"You sure? You were frowning."

"Yeah, I'm sure. Just nervous about meeting Laura and your kids." For once, she told the truth.

"Don't be. They'll love you. I promise." He said, taking a seat beside her.

"You sure? I mean, they must have been seeing the news. They must be scared of me." She said matter of factly.

"On the contrary. They are looking forward to meet you. They know that what happened in Lagos wasn't your fault. You've made a right decision. Otherwise, Steve and many other civilians were going to be dead." Her stomach was fluttering when she heard his name, but she tried to hide it.

"Come on, you should try to save up some energy before we arrive, since you'll going to be dealing with my hyperactive little munchkins." Wanda let out a light laugh.

"How many hours before we arrive?"

"About three hours to go." Wanda nodded and then tried to have a little nap.

Wanda jerked up awake when she felt the quinjet had finally touched the ground. She walked toward the cockpit to check on the environment.

"So, a countryside home, huh? It's not like you, Clint." She teased him.

"It's Laura's idea, so don't judge me." Wanda chuckled.

"Beside, it was the best location to hide." He continued. After the quinjet made the final park and Clint put it on stealth mode, they both got out from the quinjet. It was in the middle of nowhere with so many green plants, that the air was far more refreshing than what it was in the compound. She noticed that it got two buildings, one must be the house and the other was a shed. Clint's house was a two storey building with brown paint and a chimney. Typical countryside home.

When they arrived at the front door, Clint was about to knock when a woman with a brown hair and seemed to be in her 30s opened it.

"Finally! You're here!"

"Wanda, this is Laura, my wife. Laura, this is Wanda." Clint introduced them at each other.

"Hi Wanda! I've been hearing so much about you. I'm glad that you're here at last." Laura welcomed her with a cheery voice as she pulled Wanda into a big hug. Wanda was taken aback by this cheerfulness that she felt a bit nervous. No one ever been this happy meeting her. Aside from the Avengers, everyone always threw a death stare at her or just be afraid of her.

"Well.. I'm glad to be here and I hope that Clint didn't say weird things about me." She returned the hug groggily and gave Clint a look.

"Of course not! There was nothing weird about you. Come on in! I've prepared lunch."
