"Fury helped me set this up when I married Alicia over here.
Kept it off S.H.E.I.L.D's files, I'd like to keep it that way.
I figured it's a good place to lay low."

Alicia watches as Clint packs his duffle bag full of clothes, "why do you have to go?"
Looking up at his wife Clint sighs seeing the look of worry on her face "because Steve needs my help and I know you love Tony but I have to go with the side I believe in."
"I know Clint, I'm not arguing with you I'm trying to reason with you and get you to stay home."
Zipping up his bag Clint picks it up and walks out of their bedroom past his wife, rolling her eyes Alicia turns and follows him into Cooper's room she watches Clint kiss his son on the cheek.
"Why can't you just stay?" Alicia whispers to her husband as he brushes past her and makes his way doing to Lila's room.
Standing in the hallway Alicia doesn't bother to follow him knowing that no matter what she says it won't change his mind. Walking out of Lila's room Clint brushes past his wife once more and makes his way down the stairs towards the foyer of their house. Following him once more Alicia stays at the top of the stairs and watches him grab his bow off the coat rack and place it over his shoulder.
"When you get back we need to have a talk about you ignoring me."
Looking back up at his wife Clint smirks "when I get back I'll cook you a nice dinner and convince you not to yell at me."
"Fine but I better see you come back."
Smiling once more at Alicia Clint turns around, opens the front door and steps out into the darkness of the morning.

Clint left home 3 days ago and Alicia hadn't heard anything, Tony hadn't called her and her husband most certainly hadn't tried to get into contact with her, after she found out that Steve was a wanted man she knew that Clint was going to be right up there next to him on any manhunt that was going to peruse.
Waking up to the sound of her phone ringing was now an uncommon occurrence, since having children Alicia had specifically told Tony that she would come into work between 10 and 11 in the morning only so she could spend time with her babies.
Rolling over she picks up the phone and places it up to her ear "hello?"
"Alicia it's me," perking up straight away she sits upright gripping the phone in both her hands "Tony, wha.. whats' happened."
Hearing her boss sigh down the phone wasn't a promising start "I'm so sorry Alicia but he won't be coming home."
"What do you mean he won't be coming home, he has children Tony he can't leave me alone you can't let them take him away from me I can't cope without him."
"I know but I can't do anything Alicia he partnered with a wanted criminal he is an accessory to harbouring a wanted man and that is something I can't help him out with."
Pulling the phone away from her ear Alicia hangs up, letting the phone drop down onto the bed, she brings her hands up to her face she starts to sobbing knowing that she may never get to see her husband again.
Because I haven't updated in ages I figured I would come out with a double update. Now the next update may not be for some time yet again as inspiration is such a fleeting moment with this book.
I haven't fallen out of love with this book I just can't think of anything that will work and when I start to write something I don't like it all that much.
Obviously, I haven't read through this chapter if something doesn't make sense please let me know and I will try and fix it as soon as possible. (I HAVE FINALLY READ THROUGH THIS IF ANYTHING DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW)
I will hopefully update soon. I do hope you have a wonderful week.
