A new avengers fic I'm doing. I deleted my other one, so don't go searching for it. I do not own Marvel or its characters, but I do own my OCs. Lila, Nathaniel, and Cooper are Clint's children. Laura is his wife. If you have not watched Age of Ultron yet, do not continue reading this.

Clint opened the door to his home. "Laura, I'm home!" He called out as he walked inside. He tripped over something as he walked in. Looking down, he realized it was a stool.

Clint looked up, and realized the whole house was a chaotic mess. "Laura!" He shouted, dropping his bags in the doorway.

He searched the whole house, but couldn't find Laura or his kids anywhere.

"Dad?" Someone called out. Clint looked around, and realized the voice was coming from the closet. He opened it to reveal Lila, huddled up and crying inside.

"Daddy?" She asked, sniffling. Clint picked her up. "It's ok, I'm right here sweetheart." He said soothingly to her. "Lila, where's mommy? Where's Nathaniel and Cooper?" He asked her. He carried her out to his car, leaving his suitcases behind in what was left of his house.

"Some men came to our house. Mommy told Cooper to take me and Nathaniel, and to go hide, then she started fighting off the people. But after I hid in the closet, the men grabbed Cooper and Nathaniel. They didn't see me though." Lila said. She started crying again.

Clint buckled her into her seat on the car. "It's ok Lila. You're gonna come with me. We're gonna go to where Daddy works. We'll be safe there." He told her. He got into the drivers seat and started up the car. The

"Daddy, will we ever see mommy and Cooper and Nathaniel again?" Lila asked quietly from the backseat.

Clint looked back at her. "I promise you we will." He said. He drove the car off away from his house.

"We can't just leave them out there!" Clint shouted at Fury.

"Agent Barton, we can't just go after them without any leads." Nick Fury stated.

Clint, Nick Fury, Lila, and all the rest of the Avengers were at the Avenger's and SHIELD's headquarters, arguing about what to do.

"Here's a lead; my wife and two of my children are missing, and you aren't sending a search party after them." Clint said.

"We can't just go out there without any leads. They could be anywhere." Steve Rogers said.

"Okay then. How'd they find them in the first place?" Clint asked. "You were supposed to keep their whereabouts a secret." Clint continued.

"I don't go back on my word. I said I'd keep them out of the files, and I did." Fury said.

"How do we know you're not lying to us, like you usually do?" Tony Stark asked.

"Shut up Stark." Fury replied.

"So, if they weren't in the files, how could someone find them?" Natasha Romanoff asked. Lila was sitting in her lap, asleep.

"Well, different organizations have been trying to figure out different ways to track people." Bruce Banner said. "Maybe one of them finally figured it out."

"Last I checked, no one has come close to cracking it." Fury said.

"So what should we do?" Clint asked.

"You guys are going to stay here. I don't need the Avengers running around without anywhere to go." Fury said.

"You can't expect me to just sit around while the rest of my family is missing." Clint said, raising his voice.

"And I'm not asking you to. Just wait until we have a lead." Fury said. He walked out of the room.

The room was silent for a few minutes. "You know, she might know something." Natasha said, breaking the silence. She said 'she' like it was the most distasteful thing in the world.

"No. I'm not going to her got help." Clint said, sitting down.

"She might know something." Natasha said.

"Who's she? And how do I not know who you guys are talking about?" Tony asked.

"Look at that; brainiac here doesn't know who you guys are talking about. For once." Steve said smugly.

"Do you know who they're talking about Cap?" Tony asked him.

"No."

"That's what I thought." Tony said.

"We're talking about an ex-agent of SHIELD." Natasha said.

"An ex-agent." Steve said.

"Yes. She was one of the best agents here, besides Clint and myself. She was fired after Fury found out she was stealing research from SHIELD." Nat said. "As awful as she was, she was very smart. She might have figured out a new way to track people, and kept it hidden."

"And knowing my luck, it would be her." Clint said. He gave out an annoyed laugh. "I'm not going to her for help."

"Barton, she might be our only lead." Steve said.

Clint sighed. "She hates me. She's not going to do anything for us, not without a huge favor." Clint stated.

"Isn't that something we'd be willing to take to get them back?" Nat asked Clint.

Clint thought for a minute. "I'd do anything for them." He said finally. "Let's go."

"Wait a second. We can't just leave without letting Fury know." Steve said, standing up.

"What are the odds of Fury letting us go get help from someone who was kicked out of SHIELD, with barely a lead as it is?" Clint asked.

"So we're meeting a genius who stole information from Fury behind his back?" Tony asked. "Suddenly I'm in."

Steve looked at them, then turned his attention to Bruce. "Dr. Banner, are you planning on going with them?"

Bruce looked around awkwardly. "Well, Clint's wife did give us a place to stay when Ultron was after us." He said.

Steve looked around the room again. "I guess we're going to see her then." Steve said finally. "But we can't trust her. We need to bring weapons of our own, just in case."

"We can sneak into the weapons room." Nat said.

"Ok then. Where's she located at?" Steve asked.

"Mystic, Connecticut." Clint said.

"Wait, what are we going to do about her?" Bruce asked, pointing to Lila.

"She can't come with us." Clint said.

"But we can't leave her her by herself. If Fury finds her alone, he'll know that we're gone." Steve pointed out.

"I'm not bringing her with us." Clint said.

"Where would she be saver? With us, or here with a bunch of strangers?" Nat asked.

Clint closed his eyes. "Fine, she'll come with us." Clint said finally.

"Okay then. Let's go." Steve said.

Clint picked up Lila carefully, to keep her from waking up.

"Nat, can you get my bow from the weapons room?" Clint asked her. She nodded, then ran towards the armory with Tony. Clint ran the other way to the plane with Steve and Bruce.

Don't worry, Thor will be joining in soon enough. There's more to the villains's plan that's yet to be unraveled.
