CLINT HAD TAKEN OVER, flying the jet and they landed in a large field. Lana had stayed curled up in the farthest corner of the jet, isolating herself. They had all taken a hit but Natasha and Lana had seemed to see something more horrific.

The entire team trudged towards the house. Lana walked at the back but smiled tightly when she saw the house.

Clint helped Natasha up the steps as Thor asked, "What is this place?"

"Safehouse," Tony shrugged from beside him.

"Let's hope," Clint replied opening the door. They walked through the doorway and Clint called out, "Honey? I'm home." A woman stepped out with a smile, "Hi. Company. Sorry, I didn't call ahead."

"Hey," she said. She placed a kiss on his lips gently. Tony turned to Thor.

"This is an agent of some kind."

"Gentlemen. This is Laura," Clint introduced.

"I know all of your names," Lana chuckled. Small and exciting footsteps approached and Clint smiled once more.

"Ohh. Incoming," A little girl ran down the stairs with a boy just behind her.

"Dad!"

Clint picked her up, "Hi sweetheart! Hey buddy," he hugged the two children while the males on the team looked confused.

"These are smaller agents," Tony said carefully. Clint continued to greet his kids before the little girl looked up.

"Did you bring Aunty Nat and Aunty Lana?"

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Nat said from behind Steve.

The two women stepped forward and engulfed the two children in hugs.

"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve said. He looked towards where Lana was knelt down and listening to Cooper's excited chatter. He smiled at her happy face.

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

"Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. I'd like to keep it that way," Natasha glanced at Bruce who was staring at her intently before looking back down Lila, "I figure it's a good place to lay low."

Natasha and Lana walked towards Laura, "How's little Natasha."

"Little Lana."

"She's... Nathaniel or Leo," Laura pulled a face in guilt. Lana and Natasha looked at each other before Laura's stomach.

"Traitor," they whispered.

Lana sat on the couch after she had changed, while Clint and Laura went upstairs. Natasha sat next to her and started.

"What?"

"What did you see?"

"Nothing. I'm fine," Lana replied. She got up and went outside and Natasha sighed. Lana had a habit of bottling her feelings until she exploded and she was worried for her sister.

She watched as Tony and Steve chopped wood. She sat on the porch as the two talked but stopped looking at them as Lila bounded up to her.

"Hey, Lila."

"Aunty Lana, what's wrong?" Lila asked.

"Nothing мой дорогой [my dear]," Lana said. Lila nodded and went on to talk about school. Lana nodded as she caught bits and pieces of her conversation.

"Aunty Lana, are you listening?" Lila asked.

"Of course. You were saying that Nora stole your doll at playtime."

"Well it seems to me that you're looking at those two over there," Lila pointed at Steve and Tony just as Steve ripped a log in half with his hands. Lana's eyebrow raised before she looked down at the little girl.

"Yeah, well the team's a bit of a mess right now," Lana said. Clint called Lila over and they retreated into the house. Lana walked down the steps to where Steve was.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Why does everyone assume I'm not?"

"Probably because you choked me when you woke up," Steve answered.

Lana shrugged, "Sorry about that. And I'm fine."

Steve stopped, "I find that hard to believe." The two looked at each other for a long moment before Tony came out of the barn with Fury behind him.

"Come on. Team meeting," Fury said.
