Thank you to everyone that reviewed, favourited and followed!

Timeline is the same as books/movies. The premise of Marvel is that the film release is when the movie will be set with exceptions of the original Captain America set in WWII and a few others where the timeline doesn't sync up 100%. This makes the current timeline set in May 2015.

For reference for those who want to know:

Harry canonicaly would be 34.

Clint would be mid 40's so let's just go with 45.

Teddy canonicaly would have turned 17 (Birthday is reported as April) and be in his final year. Wanda and Pietro will be 17 as well (based on estimate of age).

Twins Harley and Charlie would be 5. I will do their backstory soon.

Nate is 8 months.

This is for Mistra Rose who wanted to see a bit of Harry fighting Ultron. Thank you for the idea!

Returning with Gifts

"Honestly, the lot of you are mental. Absolutely mental."

The Avengers whipped around to see Harry standing with his hands on his hips, looking at the group disapprovingly.

They were currently huddled in the stone dome that was crumbling around them, the city in ruins in the background.

Hawkeye gulped. "Darlin', you really shouldn't have come."

"Really now?" Harry said, his back to the army of robots and Ultron who was hovering overhead. "Because I for sure was worried when every one of my protection charms on you lot start blaring! Do you know what that means?"

Clint tried to gesture with his head to his husband about the robot who was hovering above.

"How did he even show up?" Tony whispered to the group through the earpiece.

"Mortal, terrible danger, possible fatal injuries," Clint replied, knowing what they covered. "Darlin' it's a war."

"Some war, honestly," Harry rolled his eyes.

"I think it's best if you come back to this side," Steve said as he watched Ultron eying Harry.

"I'm doing just fine here," Harry said, turning to look up, "I've got to be back home soon, the kids are napping. Anyway, you, the great hunk of floating junk, are you the one called Ultron?"

"Yes," Ultron replied, floating down lower. "You, I do not know you."

"Yes, well I would hope not. I tend to avoid the want-to-conquer-the-world psychopaths after I had a bad run in with one a few years ago. Puts you off for life, really." Harry drawled, "look, I've come here to do my bit seeing as you've been trying to kill the good guys. So here's my bit."

Harry flicked his wrist as the army of robots that had been advancing were crushed to dust, the particles floating in the wind.

In the distance there were more robots coming but the enemy lines were greatly diminished.

Harry didn't even register the looks of relief, surprise and gratitude from the Avengers as he walked back towards the group.

"You!" Ultron yelled.

Harry flicked a finger as he flung the robot into the air. "That should give me a few minutes. Now, you Witch. What's your name?"

"Uh, it's Wanda," she replied as she looked at the man with fearful eyes. The look Hawkeye gave her made her relax a little, seeing the smile.

"You fighting for the right side now?" Harry asked.

"Yes Sir, we are," Pietro responded, standing next to his sister.

"No need to call me Sir. Your name?" Harry responded and looked them both up and down.

"Pietro. I'm Wanda's brother."

Harry waved his hand and coated them both with protection charms. "Nice to meet you both."

Harry saw the Hulk eyeing him. "Oh, hello Bruce. Hope you're well. Even though I can't see the wounds I know you've been taking a fair hit."

Hulk cocked his head to the side, watching. "Hulk strong. Hulk no let Bruce hurt."

"I don't think now is the best time for a chat," Tony remarked as the robots began to climb from buildings in the distance, gaining on them.

"Good timing for me then, since Harley just woke up," Harry paused as he looked up to something in the air, staring at it for a moment before turning to Clint. "You better bring back gifts. The kids and Teddy especially have been worried. Nightmares, crying, refusing to sleep. I've had to deal with it all you know."

Clint walked forward and wrapped an arm around Harry's waist, pressing a kiss to his lips. "I promise. I'll raid a tourist shop before I go."

"No stolen gifts, please," Harry said.

"Can't make any promises, suits too tight to slip a few bills in, let alone a wallet," Clint replied cheekily, "do you see any pockets?"

"Alright you two save it for the bedroom later," Natasha said as Harry stuck out his tongue in response.

"I'll be home soon," Clint added as he watched Harry step back.

"Make sure you're all off this place by the end of the day. Fury made me call in the Obliviators."

"Shit. Alright." Clint replied as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Exactly," Harry said, "after this is all done, you're all coming back home and I'm making dinner. 7pm sharp, I expect you all at the door. Even you, strange man with a yellow stone in his head."

Harry then disapperated to the shock of the group.

"Was he talking about me?" Vision asked.

"Yeah, you too Vision. Seems like it's dinner at mine tonight." Clint replied.

"How did he do that?" Tony asked as looked around to see if Harry had somehow taken flight.

"Magical teleportation," Natasha responded. She couldn't remember the exact name of it.

Tony hovered in his suit, wondering if he'd be able to use it for his own technology. "Cool."

Pietro nudged Clint who he stood next to.

"You have a young boyfriend for being an old man," Pietro started with a smirk as Clint hit him upside the head, missing as Pietro moved away.

"Husband, so don't even think of trying it." Clint growled.

"I would suggest you do as he says and avoid the Harry jokes. He's very touchy about them," Tony said.

"Only because you kept talking about how you'd steal him for experiments! And not the science kind!" Clint spluttered.

Tony smirked in his suit. He loved riling up the archer. "Come now. All in good fun."

Clint muttered to himself under his breath about all the ways he'd like to kill his team mates.

"Incoming," Steve said as Ultron made his way back, enraged as the robots all began to attack as one.

For the Avengers, the unexpected visit from Harry had lifted their spirits. A reminder that Ultron was not the biggest bad robot out there. If Harry and his magic could knock about Ultron then a band of superheroes definitely could.

Later that evening at exactly 3 minute to 7pm there was a curt nod at the door.

Teddy ran and opened it, tugging his dad who stood there wearily with two bags in his hands into a tight hug. He then proceeded to hug the others Avengers as well much to their surprise as they were let into the house. Teddy noticed the new faces.

"Who are they?" Teddy asked as he lead them to the kitchen where the table was set up just like last time.

"New recruits," Tony responded as Teddy looked back eagerly.

"Can I join?" Teddy asked in an excited whisper.

"I don't think so kiddo," Clint said firmly.

"He's going to be my protégée once he graduates so no need to join, he's already an honorary member," Tony said with a grin which Teddy returned.

"Dad did you hear that?! I'm going to work under THE Tony Stark!" Teddy yelled as he ran to the kitchen.

Harry looked up at the rest of the group as they came in.

"Ah, Wanda, Pietro, glad to see you," Harry said with a smile, "I hope you're feeling alright after that little scare."

Pietro nodded hastily as he stepped forward, clearing his throat. "Wanda told me that she felt your magic save my life. That something made the objects move so they only hit my arm. Thank you for that. I am alive because of you."

"More like if you weren't trying to save an old man like me you wouldn't even be injured," Clint said as he stepped up to Harry and Teddy, wrapping an arm around them both as he hugged them tightly. "He went in to save me and took the hit meant for me. Brave kid."

"More like stupid kid," Wanda muttered as Pietro looked down. Wanda had already berated him for his stunt earlier on the jet.

"Where's the other man?" Harry asked.

"Oh, Vision? He said he's got some things to take care of? He did say he apologised." Tony said.

"Next time then," Harry said with a smile.

"Where's the kids?" Clint asked.

"They're upstairs in the bedroom with Nate. They'll be down in a moment." Harry said with a sly smile to which Clint raised a brow. That wasn't a good sign. "Teddy why don't you go get them?"

Teddy nodded and left the room.

"Beer everyone?" Harry asked as everyone took their seats.

At everyone's yes responses Harry summoned the chilled beers for everyone as they opened themselves as they floated to the table.

"I stocked up, I know you'd want to keep the drinks flowing after the day you've had." Harry said. "Plus I've heard the notorious stories about Thor's drinking as well."

"You have done well to provide mead after our battles!" Thor boomed as he drank a full bottle of beer. "Another, please!"

Harry smiled and let another float over to Thor who grinned. "You, Wizard are very generous! I like your magic!"

"Don't even mention your brother, the kids will go nuts," Tony muttered to Thor who looked surprised.

Footsteps running downstairs had the group turning to watch the kids run in with what looked like party crackers in hand.

"Oh no," Clint said as the kids took aim and fired.

The crackers burst open as glitter and streamers flew out, twirling and dancing in the air as 'We are the Champions' started to blare loudly.

The glitter and streamers all draped themselves over the Avengers who were sitting wide eyed. Teddy grinned as held Nate who was holding something, which the two pulled together.

There was a great roar as a fiery red dragon appeared, swooping forward as it made to engulf Tony who ducked with a yelp.

The dragon soared up to the ceiling, letting out another roar before bursting and showering down red glitter everywhere.

The kids all cheering as Harry and Clint laughed at the stunned looks on the Avengers faces.

"You beat the bad guys!" Harley yelled as he jumped up onto his chair next to Thor.

"What were those?" Pietro asked as he brushed a streamer from his hair, his grin wide.

"It's our Uncle George's stuff from his shop!" Harley exclaimed as he sat at his usual spot at the table.

Charlie walked over and hugged her dad, letting Clint pick her up and place her in her lap as she looked at the new faces at the table.

"One of my adopted family, one of the elder brothers runs a shop that sells practical joke magical items," Harry explained, "that was some of their more tame stuff from the celebration line."

"Tame? That was a dragon!" Tony exclaimed.

"Just fireworks," Harry said with a shrug, "they've made dragon 100 times that size that take up the whole night sky."

"We'll have to get some stuff for everyone next time, Daddy," Charlie said to Clint as he nodded with a grin.

"I'm sure everyone will love if we get some more fireworks and put on a real show," Clint replied as he rested his chin against his daughter's head.

Teddy placed Nate in his high chair as Harry waved his hand so the glitter was off the table before summoning plates and cutlery.

The food was then served, hot plates piled high with steaks, sausages, grilled chicken breasts, roast vegtables and multiple pasta, potato, green beans, and garden green salads.

Everyone was soon tucking into plates piled high with food, especially the Avengers who had just been fighting all day.

"So who are you guys?" Harley asked as he watched Wanda and Pietro, "you guys weren't part of the team before. I know 'cause I get all the figurines."

"We are recent recruits," Pietro said with a grin which Harley returned.

"Awesome! I'm going to have to race you too! I beat Steve a few days ago!" Harley said excitedly.

"I don't think you can," Pietro said as he got up and ran from his spot around the table and returned there but two seconds later. It almost seemed like apparition how quickly he was gone and back

"That's so awesome!" Harley and Teddy exclaimed as Charlie's eyes were wide.

"I want to run that fast!" Harley looked to his dad.

"You could have a race," Harry replied with a wink, "on your Pheonix."

"Oh yeah! Daddy please can we after dinner!" Harley asked. "You can set up the pitch with the lights again!"

"I think everyone will be tired, so how about tomorrow instead," Harry smiled, "and only if you ask Pietro if it's okay to have a race."

"Is it okay?" Harley asked said teen who nodded. "Awesome! Daddy maybe you can even race Tony in his Ironman suit!"

Harry chuckled. "That I could, if the great Ironman thinks he can keep up with me?"

"Hey!" Tony said with his mouthful, spitting his food across the table, "you're on!"

"Now this I have to see," Natasha wiped some spat food from her plate.

Clint laughed, "oh you're so going down Tony."

"He can't be as fast as the suit?" Tony asked as he wiped his mouth against his sleeve.

"Just wait and see," Harry said with a sly smile.

"See, that there is why I say the Brit's hot," Tony said with a grin as Steve cuffed him behind the head.

"Don't talk about another's husband, especially in front of their children," Steve chided as Harry laughed.

"Sorry Tony, maybe if we had met 15 years ago it could have worked out," Harry said. "But thank you for the compliment anyway."

"Oi, don't need to tell him that," Clint said, "now he might think he's got a chance."

Tony smirked as Harry laughed again, leaning against Clint.

"And have Teddy parent-trapping us if we broke up? No thanks." Harry replied. Teddy laughed, he could see himself doing that.

"Parent-trapping?" Wanda asked.

"Like the movie, haven't you seen it?" Teddy said.

Wanda and Pietro, along with Steve, Thor and even Bruce shook their heads.

"Okay, this is going to change soon, we are going to have a movie night," Teddy said, "but the movie Parent Trap is about two twins who's parents separated when they were young and they plan to get them back together by switching lives."

"Sounds like a strange film," Steve said.

"It's a kids film. I used to watch it all the time. I learnt how to morph into Dad to scare Dad. When I got older I used to do it to prank them." Teddy said with a shrug. "Or when they were fighting, but that was only when I was younger."

"He became a good mini me to pass on messages," Clint said with a grin as Harry chuckled.

"Too bad he's not as little anymore to make singing me love songs in mini-you cute," Harry replied, "now it'd just be funny to see you belt out My Heart Will Go On."

"Now that I'd pay to see," Bruce said.

Harry noticed the older twins with barely any food on their plates and frowned. He waved a hand as food moved to pile up onto their plates to their surprise.

"Eat up, both of you. You need it for your recovery. And you, Pietro will need it for your race tomorrow." Harry said as they both looked to each other before nodding and eating some more.

"Same beds as before?" Clint asked for the group.

"Actually I pitched the tent out back," Harry replied, laughing at the disgusted look on Tony and Natasha's face. "Hey, there will be more than enough room for you all. But there is still the guest room upstairs."

"That's ours," Natasha said immediately, looking to Bruce who looked a bit disappointed. He really did like camping.

"Trust me, you'll love it." Harry said as Tony sighed.

"Fine, but if I hate it I get your bed. I need my beauty sleep you know," Tony said as the group laughed.

"Come now, camping is fun," Steve said.

"If you even think about singing campfire songs I'll laser-fry you in your sleep," Tony warned.

Steve rolled his eyes. "Lighten up Stark. It's good bonding."

"Shotgun little spoon then," Tony responded as he poked out his tongue.

Steve coughed to hide his embarrassment but moved on. "Thank you Harry, Clint, kids for having us. Again."

"No problem, any friend of Clint's is a friend to our family," Harry said as he stood to refill the bowls and plates of food with the remaining leftovers. All the men took what seemed to be fourth helpings of everything as another round of beer was served.

The group continued to eat and chat and the storied began to flow. The kids were enamoured by Thor and his tales of other-worldly adventures and fighting monsters.

This proceeded with Teddy telling stories of what Harry had done in his youth, re-telling the stories of Harry fighting off the Acromantula in First Year and the Basilisk in Second Year.

Harry laughed and shook his head at the story.

"Honestly, Teddy, how many times have I told you those stories weren't really all that great. You have to dramatise the story for the book to sell." Harry said as he leant back against Clint, sipping his own beer. Charlie was sitting in his lap, her head resting against his chest.

"No, it's all true. Uncle Ron told me so," Teddy said. "Besides, that was before even the Tri-Wizard Tournament challenges as well as the stuff with the DA."

"I don't think this is the best time to be bringing that up, Ted," Clint said as he felt Harry tense against him. He knew that a lot of Harry's childhood was still hard to talk about, especially his teenage years when the war began to worsen.

"Ok. Sorry Dad," Teddy said.

Harry smiled softly in return. "Teddy, it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. It just brings up a lot of bad memories." Harry replied.

"You had a rough life, huh?" Steve asked.

"You could say that. I look back on it as a growth period in my life where I learnt right from wrong." Harry said thoughtfully, before smirking. "Also how to kick some serious arse."

The kids cheered as Clint smiled before leaning down to Harry to whisper in his ear. "That you did. Still can kick my ass anyday."

"You are a brave warrior too!" Thor boomed, "let us all drink to our friends and our victory!"

They all cheersed to that, even the kids clinking their glasses of soft drink against the beer bottles. The night continued with dessert of an assortment of pastries, slices and chocolates being served with fresh fruit and a bowl of whipped cream. Everyone served themselves once more, the kids desperately trying to eat as much as the men until Harry made them stop before they got bellyaches.

Once the kids started to yawn, Harry sent them off to bed with Teddy supervising. Natasha went to put Nate down upstairs before heading to bed herself. Harry showed the rest of the group out the back door to two small pitched tents.

"You really think we all will fit in there?" Tony asked, one brow cocked at the sight of the tiny triangular pitched tent, made of only a dark blue canvas, then to the group which consisted of Tony, Steve, Wanda, Pietro, and Thor.

"Just go inside and stop complaining," Clint said with a grin, wanting to see the reaction.

"Alright, alright, no need to be so pushy," Tony said as he got down on all fours to crawl through the flap of the tent, head bent down as the others watched him disappear into the darkness.

Harry clicked his fingers and a light within the tent came on and everyone could hear Tony's loud swearing. His head soon appeared as he stuck his head out the entrance.

"No. Way," Tony said as he looked back the group, with Harry and Clint grinning.

"I know right? Isn't it awesome?" Clint replied.

Tony stepped out as he circled the tent, touching and feeling it before racing back inside the tent.

"You guys can go in too you know," Harry said.

"I can feel the magic in there," Wanda said as she approached it.

"Go in and see," Harry encouraged.

Wanda and Pietro stepped inside, soon followed by Steve and Thor who all stood in the entrance to the huge tent. Harry and Clint followed behind.

Inside the tent was spread across two levels with five bedrooms upstairs. The bedrooms were all on the balconies looking down into the void over the main living area. The group was standing in the entrance area where there was a place for shoes to be placed to their right underneath a row of coat hooks. As they stepped up into the living area you could see to the left the dining room and next to that the kitchen.

"Bathroom to the right through those doors," Clint explained as everyone looked around.

They could hear rummaging from the second floor as they looked up, seeing Tony stick his head out of a flap on the balcony above them.

"This is incredible, it's bigger on the inside," Tony exclaimed, "how is it bigger on the inside?"

Harry shrugged and gave his favourite answer, one that solved all. "Magic."

"Fascinating." Tony muttered as he continued his search. "Also I bags the big bed!"

"Don't soil my sheets Stark!" Clint called out.

"I'll be thinking of you! And Harry!" Tony called back, already out of view.

"Gross old man, we did not need to know that," Pietro said as Clint went to smack him upside the head again.

Pietro took off running, checking out all the rooms in a few seconds. When he came back down he grabbed his sister's hand. "I found us a room with two beds." Pietro and Wanda went up the small spiral staircase next to the living room.

"So, your camping really is about comfort, huh?" Steve said as he walked into the kitchen.

"We only use this for travelling to see family. Rather than them hosting us inside the house with all of us, we just pitch the tent. Less mess." Harry explained as he leant against the counter, gesturing to the fridge. "I stocked it for you too, should you get hungry."

"One of these would be handy on the Avengers missions," Steve said as he opened the fridge and took out a can of soft drink, throwing another beer to Thor.

"I'll get one commissioned," Harry said.

Steve looked affronted. "No! I mean I was just speaking aloud, I did not mean it literally."

"It's nothing," Harry returned with a smile, "it's definitely not an issue. Inconvenience or money wise. I'd like to help."

Steve looked down and nodded. "Thank you."

Harry smiled and patted Steve's arm in silent reply.

"This is spectacular magic, Warrior Harry," Thor said as he sat on the couch, looking up at the ceiling which looked as if it were the night sky, stars twinkling brightly. "I do love seeing my home."

"You will have to teach the kids more about the planets and constellations sometime, if you have spare time," Harry asked. "They love star gazing out here."

"Of course. Anything for a friend and his offspring," Thor replied as he leant back, relaxing, placing Mjolnir at his feet.

"Well, we better get back to the house. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask," Harry said as he walked back to the entrance. "I did try to get spare clothing in your sizes so they will be in the laundry cupboard in the bathroom."

"Goodnight!" Tony called from the stairs as he descended, waving.

"Goodnight everyone," Harry replied as he and Clint left to go back to the house. They checked in on the kids, tucking them in with a kiss.

"I'm glad your home safe," Harry whispered to his husband once they were in the privacy of their room.

Clint pulled Harry to his side, settling the sheets around them as he pressed a kiss to the messy dark hair.

"I hate to think what could have happened if I hadn't shown up earlier in the fight and placed the charms on those kids," Harry continued. "Pietro was shielding you. He really could have died."

"But your magic saved him, he's here and he's alive," Clint replied softly. "You saved him, Darlin'."

"You, out there, doing what you do, it scares me." Harry said as he pulled back. "I know you have to, I know that. But I can't help but imagine what happens when I get that call that your not coming home? The kids…"

Clint pulled Harry back, kissing him fiercely as he tried to show the man just how much love he had for him.

"I'll always come back, to you and the kids," Clint said as he pulled away, keeping Harry close. "You guys, your my home. I'd be damned if I let the first home I've had go without a fight."

Harry chuckled. He felt the same. It was how they had come together in the first place. Two people who were searching for a place within the world.

"I love you."

"Love you too, Darlin'."
