Chapter 102
The Jet lands outside of a large farmhouse.
"W-what is this place?" Maddy asked, looking around.
"A safe house!" Clint smiled.
"A safe house?" Tony questioned.
"I hope!" Clint laughed.
They all walked towards the house.
"Hi, Company! Sorry I didn't call ahead," Clint called out as they all walked through the door.
"Hey!" A woman smiled, walking out of the kitchen.
"This is as agent of some kind," Tony said, looking over at Thor and Maddy.
"Gentlemen! Maddy! This is Laura," Clint smirked.
"I know all your names!" Laura smirked.
Everyone looked at her awkwardly, expect Natasha.
"Ooh, incoming!" Clint laughed, as two small children came running in.
"Daddy!" The small girl yelled, jumping into his arms.
"Hey kiddo!" Clint smiled, picking her up... he turned to look at the young boy.
"These are smaller agents," Tony said.
Maddy laughed.
"By the looks of everything, this is his family," Maddy smiled.
"Did you bring Auntie Nat!?" The girl asked.
"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Natasha smiled.
"S-Sorry for barging in on you," Steve said.
"Yeah, we would have called ahead! But we were busy having no idea that you existed," Tony replied.
Maddy smacked him in the chest... Tony gave her a dirty look, but quickly smiled.
"Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off SHEILD's files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low," Clint shrugged.
"Honey. Ah, missed you!" Laura said, placing a kiss on Clint's cheek.
Maddy's smile quickly faded... when the hallucinations brought on by Wanda appeared in her mind.
"E-Excuse me," Maddy sighed, quickly walking out of the house... sitting on the porch.
Thor rushed out of the house.... minutes later.
"THOR! MADDY!" Steve called out.
"I saw something in that dream. I need answers, I won't find them here," Thor said, swinging his hammer and flying off.
"Maddy?" Steve asked.
Maddy looked out into the field... remembering the dream, remembering how she was pregnant... and with Bucky, they were both happy.
"I was pregnant... in the hallucination, I was with Bucky and w-we were so happy," Maddy said, looking off into the distance.
"Oh, Maddy... I'm sorry," Steve sighed, sitting down beside her.
"Sometimes I wish.... that I could have kids," Maddy replied with her voice cracking.
"I know kiddo," Steve said pulling her into a hug.
"W-what if there was way?!" Tony spoke up from behind them.
Maddy stood up and shook her head... remembering that Bucky said Stark found a way.
"Bucky said that you'd found a way... but it won't happen," Maddy said, quickly walking away.
"Not yet! I will find a way, just for you," Tony whispered... just low enough for Steve to hear.
Hours later after everyone calmed down, Laura had put everyone to work....
"Thor didn't say where he was going for answers?" Tony asked, looking from Maddy to Steve...who were both chopping wood.
"Sometimes our teammates don't tell us things... I was kind of hoping Thor would be the exception," Steve sighed.
"H-he just needs time, he'll be back soon," Maddy said.
"Yeah! Give him time, we don't know what the Maximoff kid showed him," Tony frowned.
"Earth's Mightiest Heros! Pulled us apart like cotton candy," Maddy replied.
"Seems like Steve here walked away alright," Tony smirked, trying to start something.
"Is that a problem?" Steve asked, looking at Tony.
"I don't trust a guy without a dark side. Call me old fashion," Tony said.
"Well let's just say you haven't seen it yet!" Steve growled.
"Y-You know Ultron is trying to tear us apart, right?" Maddy asked, looking from Steve to Tony. Both backed off quickly.
"Well I guess Tony here would know that. Weather you'd tell us is the real question," Steve said.
"Banner and I were doing research!" Tony replied.
"That would affect the team?" Maddy asked.
"That would end the team! Isn't that the mission? Isn't that 'why' we fight, so we can end the fight.... so we get to go home?" Tony questioned.
"Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time!" Maddy snapped.
They all three snapped their heads, when Laura spoke up.
"I'm sorry! Mr. Stark, uh.... Clint said you wouldn't mind, but our tractor, it doesn't seem to want to start at all.... I thought maybe you might...." Laura said but was quickly cut off.
"He wouldn't mind at all! Would you Tony?" Maddy asked... turning to look at Tony.
"Y-yeah, I'll give her a kick," Tony smiled, before looking at Maddy and sending her a glare.
Maddy laughed.
"You two, don't touch my pile! Tony yelled, walking away off towards the barn.
Steve and Maddy looked down and saw the small pile... compared to their large piles.
They both looked at one another and laughed.
