a simple encounter

"Honey, I'm home!" Clint said as we entered the house

A long brown-haired woman came from around the corner. She wore a beautiful smile and had dark brown eyes. She wore a pink blouse and was very visibly pregnant.

"Hi. Company. Sorry, I didn't call ahead," Clint continued

She smiled as she approached Clint and welcomed him with a warm embrace. She grabbed his face and kissed him.

"This is an agent of some kind," Tony says turning to Thor

"Team, This is Laura," Clint said, introducing the woman

She smiled and waved

"I know all of your names," she said with a slight chuckle

Tony waved. Suddenly the sound of running footsteps could be heard coming down the hall to our left.

"Ooh, incoming," Clint said

All of a sudden, two children appeared. There was an older boy alongside a younger girl.

"Dad!" the little girl exclaims

"Hi, sweetheart! Hi, buddy! How are you guys doing?" Clint says while picking the younger child up

We all look quite dumbfounded to see Clint with the children.

"These are smaller agents," Tony says

"Did you bring Auntie Nat?" the young girl asks

Nat looks up, seeming to break herself out of the trance she was under by Wanda Maximoff

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Nat says while smiling and picking up the young girl.

"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve says

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

"Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off S.H.E.I.L.D's files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low," Clint tells us

Nat walks up to talk to Laura and I join them and introduce myself. I smile and put my hand out to greet her.

"Hi, It's nice to formally meet you," I say

"It's nice to meet you too," she says with a smile

Suddenly Thor exits the room. Steve follows and I trail not too far behind.

"Thor?" Steve says while following him.

"I saw something in that dream. I need answers and I won't find them here," Thor says

He swirls his hammer then shoots himself up into the sky. I walk up beside Steve and he looks over at me.

"You okay?" he asks me

"Yeah, I'm good. The better question is, are you okay?" I ask

"The girl. She made me see something. It truly just set me off balance. I wasn't on my guard," Steve says

"It's not your fault. Those twins are way more enhanced than we were ready for," I say to comfort him.

"Thank you for helping me out of there," Steve smiles

I smile back and nod. We then head back into the house to join the rest of the group. When we get back Laura gives everyone a tour and assigns everyone a room to stay in for the remaining time that we are here. She mentioned that we would have to bunk up with each other due to lack of space. I chose to stay with Nat, after everything that happened today it felt like she really needed a friend. Steve and Banner chose to bunk up and Tony got to stay on his own since Thor left so suddenly. Nat and I entered our room and laid on the bed that was provided. We both sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
