In the truck, there were the front seats and then there was a big amount of flooring left before you reached the backseats and because Scott had fallen asleep, during the ride in the van, his head had fallen onto Arizona's shoulder, said girl got annoyed quite quickly as it continued to fall back on her shoulder.

So, she moved to sit on the space of the floor, her back against the front seats and her sat cross-legged as she glared at Scott's sleeping state, a small ball of fire above his face whilst she debated on what to do, "Zona," She heard Wanda's warning tone, Arizona crossed her arms, the fire disappearing and she heard the light and chipper voice of Wanda once more, "Thank you,"

They were stationary as they waited in the car park in the German airport, they were waiting for Steve, Bucky, and Sam. Arizona huffed, maneuvering to be kneeling down and her forearms crossed over one another on the top of the front seats, Wanda gave Arizona a look that practically said 'I'm warning you' as she glanced back at Scott to see the fire had reappeared.

"Don't give me that look, Missy," Wanda raised her brows as Arizona glowered at her, the fire once again, going away. Wanda looked at Clint who was sighing heavily before responding via text, "What is it?" Wanda questioned.

"Just my daughter, she doesn't want to be home schooled anymore but I don't want to risk it," Clint answered honestly.

Arizona scoffed, "Tell me about it," The adults looked at her and she cowered back, "What?" She whined, "I'm sorry but getting detention from your own parent is as if you're grounding them for the day, it sucks. At least she's got actually parents - I have a computer teaching me," She chuckled.

Clint looked back down at the phone feeling it vibrate, "If I see them, they wouldn't be able to see me," Arizona read, aloud. Clint shielded his phone from her view and Arizona furrowed her brows, "Who's them?"

"Don't worry about it," Clint mumbled, trying to discreetly respond to the text message, "Lila's just scared of bullies if she does go to public school," Clint lied.

Before Arizona or Wanda could say anything, they heard a car's engine echo throughout the empty car park. The trio whipped their heads up as a faded - blue, battered - up, old car parked beside them, Clint and Wanda got out with ease but when Arizona tried to open the sliding door, it was locked, "Cap.," Clint nodded to Steve, forgetting about the troubles of getting to Germany.

"You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice." Steve greeted with a sympathetic expression.

"Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides, I owe a debt," Clint replied with a shrug, merely gesturing to Wanda, as soon as Clint said that they heard a thud and grunt at the same time, the trio who got out the blue car were bewildered but said nothing until Steve looked at Wanda, "Thanks for having my back."

Wanda shrugged, her eyes burning holes in the back of Clint's head, "It was time to get off my ass,"

Before anything else was said, a bang on the van door echoed throughout the parking lot, "Clint Barton! You asshole! Since when was there child lock on a goddamn van?!"

Clint, Steve, and Sam grinned, Wanda chuckled, and Bucky scoffed in amusement before they heard her grunt a second time. She would've burnt the van's door to exit but she thought it was too extreme and they'd most likely being using the van to get back to America.
