AN: First, I want to thank everybody who reviewd, favourited and/or followed Family. I didn't expect such and overwhelming response. You guys are amazing!

This picks up right where Family ends, so you should read it before you read this.

Ah, what else? Right. English is not my first language, so I'm sorry for any language and/or grammatical mistake. And of course, I own nothing.

"Avy?"

Clint couldn't believe it. After all this years, after all those time he spent searching her, now she lay in his arms, older, but somehow still the same after so many years. Her eyes still looked the same, and her hair was still red. He somehow had feared she'd dye it differently.

After an eternity, he pulled away a bit so he could look her in the eyes. He saw a few tears and knew they were in his eyes, too.

"I can't believe it." She said.

He chuckled. "Me neither"

She leaned her head against his shoulder.

"After all those years, you're here. It's like a dream."

He gently rubbed her back.

"If it is a dream, I don't wanna wake up."

She smiled and hesitantly pulled away completely.

"You have to tell me about your life and how you found me." She said and pulled him to the couch. Together they sat down.

"Actually, I didn't search you today. This is a coincidence."

Avy laughed. „Coincidence. Only you can pull such a thing. Now tell me how you ended up as my protection detail then."

He must have looked at her very strangly, because she just said.

"What? It is the only conclusion that makes sense." She laughed, and now Clint laughed, too. She was still so much the same after all those time.

"Well, I don't suppose you'll believe me that I'm a banker?"

"Knowing that Fury promised me his best agent as protection, not really."

Clint laughed. He had really missed her.

"I'll tell you if you tell me how you got Fury to owe you one." Why else would he be here as her protection detail if Fury didn't owe her one?

"Sounds like a deal. But first, I need something to eat. Pizza?"

"Perfect."

A little while later, they sat in the same spot, only that Clint had taken of his shoes and jacket and they ate pizza.

"So, what happened to you after we were split up?" He asked his little sister. It still felt weird to know her here, next to him, living and happy.

"I spent a week in this orphanage, but then Mom and Dad... Erin and Don came. They adopted me only a few days after our first meeting, and so they became my parents. Frankly, they are the only people who deserve that title from me."

"I understand that. Cara and HE were our biological parents, but nothing more."

"Yeah. That's right. Erin... Mom was a teacher, and Dad a judge."

"They were?"

"Mom died when I was fifteen. It made me and Dad become really close. I became a daddy's girl, who would have thought that? Anyway, he died nearly exactly ten years later."

"I'm sorry." Clint didn't know what else to say. She was his little sister, but he had never met the people she called Mom and Dad. But he saw she missed them.

"You would have liked them. Mom joked much, just like you." She sighed, then looked at him.

"But now what happened to you? I did some searching, but all I got was that you and Barney ran away. And... and that Barney is a criminal"

Clint sighed. Of course she asked about Barney.

"We couldn't stand the orphanage anymore. And there was a circus in town..."

"So you two followed every cliché and went with the circus."

Clint chuckled.

"Yep. Turned out I'm a pretty decent archer."

"Archer? Wait, your Hawkeye?"

"To your service, Ma'am." He grinned.

"Pretty decent is pretty much an understatement then, isn't it?" She chuckled.

"Depents on your point of view."

"Your unbelievable." She laughed now.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at it and cursed.

"So late already? This was my alarm. Our plane leaves in half an hour. We should go."

Clint looked up. He had to remind himself that he wasn't here to catch up with his little sister. On the paper, this was him protecting the CEO of Stark industries. That brought him to another thought...

"One question: You and Stark."

"Oh, not you too. Yes, I'm dating him. You were in a battle with him, for god's sake!"

"That doesn't mean I'm okay with him dating my little sister!"

"Clint!" She got that annoyed look he knew so well.

He decided to drop it for now, but made a mental note to have a serious talk with Stark. With arrow pointing on Starks face, maybe.

AN: First chapter finished! Tell me what you think!
