"Pizza, pop corn, candy and a movie?! no way! this is the best night ever! Thanks dad!" a ten year old Phil Coulson exclaimed before tearing into his slice of pepperoni pizza.
"A movie and candy on a school night? Why?" Maria asks skeptically not ready to fully dive into the fun without knowing the reasoning behind it.
"shut up Maria maybe dad is just being nice. you should say thanks! there doesn't need to be a reason behind everything! it's just pizza and a movie!" Phil exclaims to his younger sister while kicking her chair from his spot across the table. it wasn't often that their adoptive father gave them junk food, so why did Maria have to go and question the reasoning behind it, their dad could easily replace the food with a healthy alternative.
"Don't tell me to shut up! You shut up besides i heard dad say that we're not going to school tomorrow either."
"Maria what i have i told y'all 'bout eves dropping?" Nick Fury asks while giving his eldest daughter a stern look.
"Sorry, dad. I wont do it again." Maria responds sheepishly.
"Pizza, candy, a movie and no school…you're going on another mission aren't you?" Clinton, but normally called Clint, unless he was in a boat load of trouble accused.
At this revelation 4 pairs of eyes look towards Nick waiting for a response.
Nick lets out a huge sigh, leave it to Clint to put all the pieces together, before answering. "Yes, i'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
it only took two seconds before all but one were yelling over each other trying to get their voices heard.
"told you there was a reason behind everything! do you have to go, you've only been home for a month!"
" oh shut it Maria no one likes a know it all! I'll make sure everyone stays out of a trouble."
"how long will you be gone? who's watching us this time? i vote for no babysitter!"
"Quiet! how many times do i have to tell you guys speak one at a time." Fury yells over all the commotion. "Marie, I'm sorry i have to go back so soon but i promise you after this i will be taking at least seven months off. Phil i know you'll be great at keeping everyone in line but first you need to lay off your sister and i expect to hear an apology before the movie starts. and Clint you guys are too young to take care of yourselves so Agents Summers and Matthews will be watching you for the next three weeks. Now finish your food we'll talk about this more tomorrow." Nick says effectively ending the conversation. He sits there for a moment making sure that they're actually going to eat while he goes to talk to his youngest, Natasha. Whom he noticed had silently snuck out of the room the second all the yelling started.
Nick walks up to the shared bedroom of his daughters attempting to open the door only to find that it's been locked. "Natasha open the door."
he's answered with a stubborn sounding "нет"
"Natasha, you have till the count of three to open the door. 1…2…" but before he can reach three Nick heres the lock click on the other side, allowing him access to the room. As soon as he's in the room he closes the door only part way so that he and Natasha can talk privately while keeping an ear out for the other three.
Nick takes a seat on one of the beds watching as his daughter, who's sitting on the ground with her back to him, try to solve the rubiks cube she currently holds in her hands. Normally if he was dealing with any of the other three he'd get straight to the point and ask what has them so upset. But with Natasha he knows that will only cause her to clam up even more, besides the fact that Nick's not stupid he knows that she's upset over his leaving on another mission. They sit in silence for five more minutes before Natasha finally breaks it walking up to stand right in front of him.
"you lie, you said you not-you wouldn't leave again!" She spats angrily some of her russian roots slipping in as she talks. Normally she can speak perfectly with an american accent but whenever she's upset her russian accent usually accompanied by a few words in that language as well, slip past her tongue. "what if you get hurt? like last time. but even worse!" she asks quietly, referring to his last mission that resulted in him coming home with his eye patch.
"Natasha, i can't promise you i wont get hurt, but i will promise you that no matter what i will always come home to you and your brothers and sister. Okay?"
A scowl covers her features as she quickly thinks over what she's been promised before she finally responds with a small but firm "Okay."
"Alright then how about we go and eat some pizza before Clint eats it all again." he asks standing up and taking her small delicate hand in his much larger one.
She let's out a small giggle while quietly responding in Russian "его новое прозвище должна быть копилка"
Nick smirks down at his witty little girl telling her "you better watch it Clint's been practicing his Russian a lot more lately. I can only imagine what he'll do if he hears you called him a pig."
{3 weeks later}
He's finally home after countless hours of undercover work and interrogation Nick Fury is finally home. He couldn't wait to take a shower and lie down in his own bed. But before he can even ruminate on the thought he's met with a shower of confetti as he walks through his front door.
"Welcome home daddy!" is shouted in unison as he steps further into the thresh hold.
There sitting in entrance hall are his kids all but Clint (who was holding his bow proudly after hitting the confetti pinata right on time) holding up signs that say "We love you" each word written in the respective child's handwriting. Nick smiles a small smile before getting down to his knees and opening his arms allowing the kids to tackle him with a hug.
He has both boys under his arms with Phil on one side showing him his newest Captain America trading cards and Clint on the opposite side asking if he saw how much his archery improved. Maria is on his back with her arms around his neck while she explains the drawing her and Natasha drew for him on the heart shaped card Natasha is holding while leaning up against his chest quietly with a smile on her face as she looks up at him.
These kids might drive him insane sometimes but Nick Fury wouldn't give them up for the world especially when he came home to moments like this.
