Clint took the controls while the others rest. Astra fell asleep on the chair. Her eyebrows close together and her pink lips in a frown.

"The news is loving you guys. Nobody else does." Hill updated the group. "There's been no official request for Banner's arrest but its in the air."

"The Stark Relief Foundation?" Tony suggested.

"Already on the scene." Hill answered. "How's the team?"

"Everyones..." Tony started in the dismal atmosphere. "We took a hit. We'll shake it off."

"Well, for now, I'd stay in stealth mode." Hill suggested. "And stay away from here."

"So, run and hide." Tony said in other words.

"Until we can find Ultron I don't have a lot else to offer."

"Neither do we." Tony hung up then walked over to Barton. "Hey, you wanna switch out?"

"No, I'm good." Clint responded. "If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time, because we're still a few hours out."

"Few hours from where?" Tony got confused.

"A safe house." Clint responded simply.

The jet landed in a quiet forest by a clearing, the sun rising in the background. The team walked in a line to the quaint little house. It was a little two story farmhouse that was painted yellow and a fern green roof. A very calm feeling surrounding it.

"What is this place?" Thor asked on the porch.

"Safe house." Tony answered in more of a question form that anything else.

"Let's hope." Clint opened the doors and entered with everyone else following. "Honey? I'm home." He called. A female brunette walked in the living, her baby bump very visible. "Hi. Company. Sorry didn't call ahead."

"Hey." She greeted him with a kiss.

"This is an agent of some kind." Tony claimed, a confused expression written on his face.

"Gentlemen. This is Laura." Clint introduced his wife.

"I know all your names." She greeted the group.

On the stairs two kids ran down the stairs. "Oh, incoming." The kids ran in and straight to their father who engulfed them both in hugs. "Hey, buddy. How are you guys doing."

It would be an understatement to say that the group was shocked, well all except for Natasha and Astra. "These are smaller agents." Tony claimed, again.

"Did you bring Auntie Nat?" The girl asked hopefully.

"What don't you hug her and find out." Nat laughed as the little girl jumped in her arms.
