[Later the Next Morning]

Barton lands the ship and the group heads towards the Safe House that Barton told Tony about. Barton and Daniel help Natasha walk while Kelly walked beside her father. Thor and Kali follow behind them while Steve and Banner brought up the rear.

"What is this place?" Thor asks as they walk up the stairs onto the porch.

"Safe house." Tony says.

"Let's hope." Barton says and they head inside, "Honey? I'm home."

"Excuse me? Honey?" Kelly asks confused and a woman comes around the corner.

"Hi. Company." Barton says, "Sorry I didn't call ahead."

"Hey." The woman says.

"This is an agent of some kind." Tony says.

"Gentlemen, Kelly, this is Laura." Barton says.

"I know all your names." Laura says and everyone hears footsteps approaching.

"Incoming." Barton says.

"Dad!" The little girl says.

"hi, sweetheart!" Barton says.

"And these are smaller agents." Tony says.

"Did you bring Auntie Nat?" The little girl asks and Barton gasps.

"Oh, so they are allowed to call you Aunt Nat." Daniel says a bit jealous.

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Natasha asks.

"Sorry for barging in on you." Steve says.

"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed." Tony says.

"Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined." Barton says, "He kept it off Shield's files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low."

"Honey." Laura says.

"I missed you. How's little Natasha, huh?" Natasha asks.

"She's... Nathaniel." Laura says and Natasha's eyes widen and she lowers to the belly.

"Traitor." Natasha says. The little girl looks at Thor and Kali and Thor gets lost in the vision before the toaster goes off and Thor walks out of the room.

"Thor?" Kali asks and Thor looks at Kali.

"I saw something in that vision. I'm not going to find answers here." Thor says, "Stay here."

"Right." Kali says and Steve walks past her. Kali heads back inside. Kelly and Daniel peek out the door after Tony heads out to talk to Steve.

"Uh oh. Is Dad going to yell at yours?" Daniel asks.

"What? No. Dad is most definitely going to say something super smart and get out of it." Kelly says.

"As usual." Daniel says.

"What does that mean?" Kelly asks.

"Exactly what I said." Daniel says.

"Daniel, promise me that if anything happens, you'll still be my friend." Kelly says and Daniel looks at her.

"You are the one who forced me to be friends with you. If it means not having any without you, then I think I don't want to do that." Daniel says.
