Author's Note: I do not own anything. All Characters belong to MARVEL. Only the Villains are mine. I have not read the Comics and am basing this solely on the Movie and my Imagination. When you see 'This' That is a characters inner thoughts. When you see "This" that is Natasha and Clint speaking in Russian. This is the same story I posted. Edited the Chapters.

Tony had finished the renovations on the Stark building. Now it was to be the Avengers housing, right in the heart of New York City. Rogers and Banner had already moved in. They had access to gym's, laboratories and weapon training. Stark had a room he shared with Potts on a different floor all to themselves. Another one to get was Thor who was still in Asgard and would use the place when he was here for a mission. Now he had to get the Master Assassins. Stark had made his way down to S.H.I.E.L.D HQ, he had requested a meeting with Fury, Romanov and Barton.
Fury was already waiting for them in the briefing room in the main chair looking over files and then setting them aside. "Morning patchy". Stark said as he entered. Fury didn't even look up. "Do you always come late to the meetings you call?". Stark took a seat in the chair all the way at the other end. "Only to the ones with you. Plus I come fashionably late. There's a difference". Stark looked around and noticed the absence of the other two. "Where are the Wonder Twins?". Fury pressed a com button on the side, "Barton, Romanov. He has arrived. Please join us in the briefing room". 3 minutes later Clint and Natasha walked in. It was obvious that they had been sparring as they were both sweating and tired. Only they could tire each other out. "Nice of you to join us". Stark said as he looked at the two agents. "I told them to keep busy since I knew you would be late. Please take a seat Agents".
Stark had mentioned the Avengers building and how all of them would be staying there so they could assemble easily. "I would like for you two to stay there as well. Seeing as you are Avengers as well". Barton's face was unreadable at the moment. Stark couldn't tell if he liked the idea or not. Natasha on the other hand a little bit of a smile on her face. She was never an ARMY kind of girl so being in one place that was like a barrack was not so pleasant for her. For Barton, well Tony didn't know much about him. "This will also be a good way for us to learn more about each other, train together and bond". Stark mentioned. "Bonding?". Barton raised his eyebrow at this. "Well sure. I like for everybody to know about me!". Stark said. Fury gave a small smile. "Well unfortunately they are liaisons to the Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I can't just let them leave. They still have missions and orders to follow". Fury told all in the room. "I understand that sir but, shouldn't the Avengers be our primary assignment?". Natasha asked. "No Agent Romanov. It is not your primary assignment because that initiative is only used when there is too large of a threat". Barton was nodding in agreement.
"Come on Fury. Don't you think that we all need to be better acquainted with each other for those kind of missions?". Stark offered as a counter argument. "Stark, Fury is right. Our missions from S.H.I.E.L.D are our primary concerns". Barton said to Stark and Natasha. "You would still be able to go on your missions and be S.H.I.E.L.D agents. You wouldn't be rooming on this base and you would be able to better acquaint yourselves with all of the team instead of, you two knowing each other the best. If we are going to be a team, we need to act like it". Stark countered Barton's argument. Stark knew he had won when he saw Fury nodding along out of the corner of his eye. 'If Fury wishes it, they'll do it'. "I have to agree with Stark on this one. Agent's pack your things, you're moving out". Stark had a smile on his face. 'I always get what I want'.
