"What is this place" Thor asked.

"Safe house" Tony told him.

"Lets hope" Clint responded as he opened the door.

They entered the house and Clint looked around.

"Honey? I'm home" He called out. Laura came from the kitchen holding some sort of drawing. "Hi. Company. Sorry, didn't call ahead" 

They greeted each other with a kiss. Tony started looking around the room they were in 

"This is an agent of some kind" Tony told Thor.

"Gentlemen, this is Laura" Clint introduced.

She smiled at them "I know all your names" 

Tony waved awkwardly as heavy footsteps were heard running down the stairs Clint's two kids ran towards him as he pulled them into a hug.

"These are smaller agents" Tony told Thor.

"Did you bring auntie Nat and Tina?" Lila asked.

"Why don't you hug us and find out" Natasha called.

The two children ran up to the two women and gave them hugs. 

"Sorry for barging in on you" Steve apologized.

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

He then looked over at his daughter who was still hugging Lila "How long have you known about them"

"First mission with S.H.I.E.L.D. had to get some help Clint took me here" She explained.

"Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He keep it off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files I'd like to keep it that way. I figured its a good place to lay low" He told them.

Athena watched as Thor swept a little Lego house that he broke under a chair. Lila then walked up to him and watched the god of thunder. Thor looked down at her then quickly exited the house so Steve and Athena followed him.

"Thor?" Steve called out.

"I saw something in that dream. I need answers. I wont find them here" Thor responded.

He used his hammer to fly off into the sky. 

Athena gave a heavy sigh "So dramatic" 

Steve nodded in agreement "Come walk with me" 

Athena walked next to him and into the woods.

"What did you see?" Athena asked "You don't seem shaken up at all" 

Steve grabbed her hand and carried on walking "I was back in the 40's everyone was dancing. They seemed happy and I heard Peggy she told me we one the war and that it was time to go home" 

Athena looked up at him "Doesn't sound that bad" 

He nodded "That's what I thought. Then I looked around and you know who I couldn't see" He was now stood in front of Athena "I couldn't see you. I looked all over and you wasn't there. When I woke up all I wanted was to go back but now that I have you" he gave her a soft kiss. "But now I don't want to leave your side" 

Athena hugged him tightly.

"But what did you see? I've never seen you that shaken up" Steve lifted her face.

Athena sighed as she remembered the dream. "I saw my family dead. I walked up to Lyra and she told me it was my fault. Then I was back in space and I saw something" 

"Athena what did you see in space? What did you really see?" Steve asked "No more hiding please tell me the truth"

"It was this gray figure it had sharp teeth but no other features and they shot that arrow at me but in the dream there were no stars just teeth" She felt a few tears drip down her face "I don't like talking about what happened up there... It still scares me. When I close my eyes that's all I see"

He kissed her head "You don't have to worry anymore okay" 

She smiled at him and gave him a kiss "I love you" 

He smiled "I love you too"
