Hello all! I'm back with a new story! This idea has been toying with my mind for a while now and I just had to do it! Ill let you read it first then have another authors note at the end. I do not own any characters

Chapter One

"What did he say again?" Katherine asked her elder sister. The two siblings were in the kitchen at the Barton home, the younger sibling was mashing potatoes while the other was checking to see what type of sweet treats they had for later. Kate was hoping that they make cookies so she could have cookie dough.

"He said that tomorrow his science project is due, which is why you should go to school with him, since you have the day off. Cooper what do you think about Katie going to school with you tomorrow?" Laura asked her son.

"Yeah!" The little boy shouted from the couch where him and Lila were reading. Kate nodded her head. There wasn't anything that she wouldn't do for the little ones or her sister. Thats why as soon as Laura called her as soon as Clint left, she packed her bags and decided to stay here for a few days. Kate knew that there was something serious going on, she would check her phone constantly for news. She knew that Clint was in the middle of it, Laura on the other hand didn't want to know anything. She was too superstitious about things.

"Then its settled, we can finish up the project tonight and i'll bring it in for your science fair." Kate spoke before taking the pot full of mashed potatoes and placing them into a dish. She then walked over to check on the chicken that she was baking. As she closed the oven, something felt different.

The air in the home began to change. She looked to the door to see Clint with two unfamiliar faces. The looked only a few years older than she was, not only that but they both looked like they had been through hell. The man was taller than the girl. His hair was dark, but it faded to white, he looked as if he had a thousand stories to tell. The woman on the other hand was red haired, her glance was taking in every portion of the room that surrounded her. Laura dropped what she was doing and walked over to her husband. Lila and Cooper soon realized what was going on. "Dad!" They both shouted and ran over to their father who enveloped them into the hug as well. Kate stood in the background for a few moments before she saw Clint wave her over. She walked over and joined the group hug. After a few moments they parted and Lila walked over to the girl and looked at her. "Daddy, who's this?" She asked with a raised brow. Clint took a deep breath.

"This is Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. They helped us a lot in the past week. We couldn't have done it without them." He smiled and patted Pietro on the shoulder. "They didn't have anywhere else to go." He explained. Laura smiled.

"Well they are more than welcome here." She spoke. "Good thing I told you to make extras." Laura winked at her little sister. Kate simply rolled her eyes.

"Wanda, Pietro, this is my wife Laura, my daughter Lila, my son Cooper and Laura's sister Kate." Kate smiled and gave them an awkward wave. They both nodded their heads.

"Nice to meet you." She told them before turning to Laura. "Why don't you get them situated upstairs and i'll finish dinner?" She suggested. Laura nodded her head.

"Yeah, how about you guys follow me this way." She suggested before walking through the kitchen and towards the stairs that would lead them to the second level. As soon as they disappeared up the stairs Clint began chatting with his children and Kate went back to finishing up dinner.

"Coop, can you please set the table?" She asked but another voice cut her off before she could say anything.

"I can do it. I do not mind." The female voice spoke. Kate turned her head to glance at Wanda, who had made her way downstairs. She smiled and nodded her head.

"That would be wonderful, let me just get everything down for you." She informed her before grabbing seven plates, forks, spoons and knives and placing them onto the dining room table. She grabbed a few napkins and placed them under the forks that Wanda had placed on the table. "Thank you for doing this." She told her, Wanda nodded her head.

"It is okay. It is nice to be apart of a family again." She smiled. Kate gave her a smile in return and nodded her head wanting to know what happened while he was in Sokovia.

"Dinner!" Kate called to the home. The kids came running and took their positions while Laura waddled behind Clint and Pietro. They filled in their seats and Clint grabbed the chicken from the dish and began passing it around.

"Dad! Guess what Katie is teaching me?" Lila asked as soon as she was done picking at her food. Kate's fork dropped and she looked at the little girl sitting across from her. Clint turned to look at her.

"What is Katie-Kate teaching you?" He asked using his nickname for her. Kate flinched slightly knowing that only explosions were coming.

"Archery!" She said with a proud smile on her face. Kate sunk into her chair. She should have known better than to teach Lila how to shoot, but she was practicing and Lila was right there wanting to know every little detail about everything.

"You are an archer as well?" Came Pietro's voice, Kate nodded her head.

"Yeah. I am."

"You and I are gonna have a conversation later that you are not gonna like." Clint told her before taking a deep breath. As much as Kate hated to admit it, Clint was more like a father to her than anything else. Her and Laura's parents passed away when she was four years old. Laura was 18 at the time and she was able to take her under her wing. It was only two years later that she met Clint and fell in love with him. He was the father figure that she never had. She respected him, and the one rule he made clear was not to teach Lila and Cooper archery. If he wanted to teach them, he would. After all, he taught her and she was, self proclaimed, better than he was.

"Yes sir." She told him clenching her jaw tightly.

"And why is it such a bad thing, old man?" Pietro asked before receiving an elbow in the side because of his sister.

"Stay out of this speedy." He said in a low voice. The table became silent and Lila frowned.

"I didn't mean to cause a fight, I wanted to tell you what Katie taught me." She explained. Clint nodded.

"I know sweetie, you can show me what she taught you later. I'll probably have to re-teach you." He smirked looking at Kate. She felt semi-relieved that he was at least joking with this.

"Oh please, my form is much better than whatever they taught you at the carnival."

"Circus, and don't forget who taught you Bishop." He said and Kate rolled her eyes. She escaped that one a lot easier than she thought, probably because of Wanda and Pietro.

Not long after dinner ended, the kitchen was being cleaned by Wanda and Pietro, with the help of Kate who helped them to use the dishwasher. Laura and Clint went upstairs to help Cooper finish the science experiment for his school. Lila wanted to help. Kate was glad that Clint returned. It meant that she wouldn't have to go with Cooper to school tomorrow, Clint would.

"Thank you guys for cleaning up the dishes, you know you didn't have too." Kate told them. Wanda shook her head.

"It is fine, you cooked a lovely meal for us. Are you a chef?" She asked, Kate shook her head.

"No i'm not, i'm still in school trying to figure out what I want to do." She explained. "I'm going in the route of Counseling Psychology though."

"Counseling Psychology?" She heard Pietro ask. Kate nodded her head.

"I want to help people work through their problems." She explained. "We all have our own issues and I want to help people through them." Pietro nodded his head. "It's better than keeping them hidden deep inside, right?" Her voice spoke but she knew she was talking to herself more than anything.

"For children?" Wanda asked. Kate shrugged her shoulder.

"For anyone, I haven't decided yet."

The three finished the dishes and Pietro began to wander the home. She noticed him observing the dart board in the house. "Do you want to play?" He asked looking at her. Kate raised a brow.

"Me? You want to play me?" She asked with a small smile. His head nodded.

"Sure, why not?" He asked. "Just no cheating." He said with a smirk.

"Her no cheating? What about you?" Wanda asked leaning against the table in the dining room.

"What does she mean?" Kate asked looked at him before watching him disappear and appear directly in front of her with the six darts in his hand. She jumped and looked towards Wanda before looking back at Pietro.

"You're fast?" She asked. He nodded her head.

"The old man said not in front of children, he said nothing of you." He explained.

"And do you have a power as well?" Kate asked, directing the question to Wanda. Her head nodded.

"Mine is more mental." She spoke. Kate nodded her head.

"So what? You can go into peoples mind?" She asked with a slight scoff.

"Yes, you want me to try?" She asked but Kate froze and shook her head.

"No thank you." She said looking at Pietro before looking to Wanda who had an amused look on her face. "Were you joking?" She asked

"Only slightly. Clint said I couldn't go into anyone's mind."

"He really had a strict list of rules for you guys, didn't he?" The siblings shrugged.

"Are we going to play or not?" Pietro questioned.

"Oh, are you eager to loose?" Kate asked.

"No, just eager to see if you're as good as the old man."

"That hurts." She told him, looking directly at him before tossing her first arrow. She didn't have to look to know that she hit the bullseye. Something about this male was intriguing to her, and she intended to find out why. It wasn't until after a few moments she looked at the board and confirmed her shot.

"You were saying?" She asked.

"Lucky shot." He muttered under his breath.
