AN: This story is mostly following the MCU in terms of characters. I don't own any of these characters except Adrian. The story is set after Ant-Man, but before Civil War. With that out of the way, leta get going.

Clint walked into the assembly room, curious as to why he had been called in. Ever since Sokovia, he had "retired", so he could spend more time with his kids. Sure, he visited the new complex every now and then, but he never went out on missions unless it was extremely important.

"Ah Legolas, you're here." Tony Stark called. He waved him over to a holotable, where the image of a teenage boy, about fourteen or fifteen, smiled down at him. Clint couldn't help but feel like he has seen this kid before.

"Hey Stark. What do you want? Also, who's this?"

Tony just grinned saying, "We'll get to that later. First, let's talk about you. How've you been? How's Laura and the little squirts?"

Clint just crossed his arms and said, " Cut the crap. What's going on?"

"Well you remember when we stayed t your house?"

"How can I not?"

"Well, I may or may not have swiped a picture of your mom from your wallet.

"WHAT?!" Clint exploded. "You took my mom's picture?! What the heck were you thinking?"

"That's beside the point. I-"

"I can't believe you Tony! Gah!" Clint threw his hands up and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Tony yelled after him. He ran towards him.

Clint ran out the door, and Tony stopped. All the Avengers were staring at him with hurt expressions on his face.

"I just wanted..." He trailed off.

The team just shook their heads and walked away.

"I just wanted to reunite him with Adrian." Tony whispered.

-Line Break-

Clint stormed towards the jet. He still couldn't believe Stark had the nerve to steal his mom's picture.

Suddenly, he remembered something very important. He turned around to head back to the room he had just left.

-Line Break-

Tony stared at Adrian. He had to find out if he was in the orphanage coming for the tour if the new facility.

He backtracked out of hia file into his mom's. He had used Jarvis's facial recognition scanner for the picture and come up with a name.

Edith Barton had only one child. Well, unless you account for the SHIELD files. Then she had two.

One fifteen years after the other.

Tony whirled around when the door opened to see Clint staneing there.

He opened his mouth to speak.

"I'm only here for the picture. I will also stay for the tour. But then I'm leaving." Clint cut him off.

Tony, looking dejected, nodded his head slowly, and led the way upstairs.

-Line Break-

Adrian Barton was really excited. He and his friends were invited to go tour the Avengers Facility in Upstate New York, led by the Avengers themselves!

Currently, their bus was en route to the facility. When it rounded the corner, the bus let out a collective gasp.

The facility was a bright, three-story, white and glass building. It was an amazing sight, sparking the curiosity of many. And they all wanted to see the inside.

The bus pulled up to the front of the building, and the kids filed out. They walked inside.

They were immediately greeted by the sight of Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, Falcon, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and Vision.

"Welcome to the facility guys!" What do you guys want to see first?"

Adrian threw his hand into the air. "Can we see you guys in action? Cause that would be way cool!"

All the orphans nodded their heads quickly. They really wanted to see a brawl.

Captain America chuckled. "Maybe at the end of the tour, but there's so many of you, and so much to see. Maybe we'll split you all up and take you on separate tours."

The kids all cheered. The prospect of going off alone with one of the Avengers was really exciting. Everyone raced towards their favorite Avengers.

Of course, not everyone got to be with their favorite Avenger, so there was a cluster of kids waiting until the mad scramble had finished, with Adrian among them. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and surprisingly Vision were claimed and taken off, leaving Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Hawkeye to decide between the three remaining kids.

Adrian watched the three Avengers converse amongst themselves, until his shoulder was bumped by his friend Drake, who leaned over to him and said, "Dibs on the Witch."

"Dude, it's the Scarlet Witch, and go ahead and have her. I'll go with-"

"Oooh! Falcon was left behind! This must be fate!" Anna almost drooled over the prospect of having alone time with the winged Avenger.

"-Nevermind."

"Ok kids. We decided that since you three seem older, and hopefully more mature than the others, you'll get to see the cooler things. Now, who wants to go with who?" Falcon asked.

"I DO!... um, I mean I'll go with you Falcon," Anna yelled.

"And I'd love to go with you, Scarlet Witch," Drake added, putting emphasis on the first part of her name."

"I guess that leaves you with me, then…" Hawkeye trailed off, realizing that he didn't know the kid's name.

"Oh, I'm Adrian, this is Anna and Drake." Adrian felt he had to introduce his two best friends. And he hid his disappointment at being stuck with Hawkeye. He really wanted to go with Falcon.

"Mr. Hawkeye, sir, there's a call waiting for you in the conference room. A certain woman wants to get a hold of you…" JARVIS's voice rang through the room, making the orphans jump.

"Alright. Adrian, will you wait here for me? I'll only be a second."

"Sure thing, Mr. Hawkeye."

"Alright guys, let's go. See you in an hour." The others left, leaving Adrian alone.

He quickly checked all around for any cameras, and upon not finding any, quickly lit up his hand with turquoise tendrils of energy leaping from finger to finger.

-Line Break-

In a room far away, a voice said, "Sir, we've got a lock on the target."

"Excellent," another voice responded. "Send in a distraction. I will grab the kid myself."
