I was rummaging through the fridge and cupboards for something to eat but nothing caught my attention.

"Hey watcha doing?" Clint asks walking in.

"Tryna find something to eat but nothing appetizes me." I tell him still looking.

"Okay Gordan Ramsy." He chuckles leaning on the counter.

"*smiles* How's the fam?" I ask with a nod leaning on the opposite side.

"Good, I told them about Aunt Pex." He smiles.

"Aww I'm an aunt." I wipe a fake tear away.

Then there's a short silence.

"You know what? It's Saturday I'm going to have a cook out and make some tacos and you should bring your family over." I say.

"Apex." He says with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Now now aunt Pex should meet her nieces and nephews." I tell him matter of factly.

"A niece and 2 nephews." He corrects the smile still on his face.

"Even better!" I exclaim throwing my arms up.

"They've never been here." He says.

"Clint, if they come and an alien invasion breaks out right here at that very moment I will protect you family with my life." I tell him honestly and he looks taken back.

"Would it be okay with Tony?" He asks unsure and I give him a look.

"We don't need Stark's permission but JARVIS?" I say looking up at the last part.

"Yes Apex?" He asks.

"Connect me with Uncle Tony through the intercom please." I say.

A couple seconds later

"Yeah?" Tony's voice comes through.

"I'm having a cookout tonight for everyone and I invited Clint's family. Cool?" I say.

"Yeah. I've been asking him to bring them over." Tony says making me smirk at Clint.

"Alright tell Aunt Pep too." I say.

"Perfect thanks Apex." He says then disconnects.

I then look back over at Clint.

"*chuckles* Alright I'll bring them over." He smiles giving in.

"JARVIS notify eveveryone about the cookout tonight please." I say.

"Yes Apex." He responds.

"Great now I need to go to the store to get the stuff." I say.

"I'll come with you." Clint says following me.

We come back from the store with everything I need to be successful today. I found a grill out back and brought it out. I start a fire and let it settle as I marinated the meat. We also got coolers filled them with ice and put beers, sodas, and juices I got for the kids.

"What are you guys doing?" Steve asks coming outside towards us as I start to put meat on the grill.

"Gonna make tacos." Clint tells him.

"I'm making tacos, Barton over here can be on the olympic 'standing there' team." I joke making him nudge me as I laugh.

"How do you know how to make them?" Steve asks me with an eyebrow raised.

"I used to work at a taqueria in LA a couple years back." I shrug eyeing the meat.

"Woah LA? That's a long walk." Steve jokes with his arms crossed.
