A/N: HEY ALL! I am back with the second and last chapter of Home! A couple pieces of insight for you all: 1. This takes place after the event of Age of Ultron. 2. Clint does not retire and he helps Natasha and Steve train the new Avengers 3. For the purposes of my own personal storyline/universe the Maximoff twins are aged down to be sixteen years old. 4. Pietro is alive because REASONS. So anyways please please enjoy this chapter :)
After an exhausting training session with the twins Natasha had retreated into the kitchen to make herself some tea. She was happy with the progress they were both making. Wanda was gaining control of her powers and becoming even more powerful as the weeks passed. Pietro was gaining strength as he was finally allowed to eat as much as his body burned off and he was finally putting on some muscle mass thanks to Steve's training. Natasha smiled at the thought that they were actually helping these two kids thrive when before they were merely used as weapons.
As Natasha was finishing off putting a spoonful of honey in her tea, Clint walked in.
"So, I got all the paperwork back. Thanks to Maria's help it didn't take nearly as long, but I am now Wanda and Pietro's legal guardian!" He grinned at her.
Natasha smiled. That had been Clint's main focus ever since they had gotten back from Sokovia. Getting guardianship of the twins. He wanted to ensure that they would be in safe hand and with someone they trusted. "That is great Clint."
"Yea. I just told them. They seemed pretty happy about." Clint smile was reached his eyes and his grey blue eyes twinkled "But that's not actually all I wanted to talk to you about."
"Oh?" Natasha questioned as she raised her mug to her lips and sipped the hot liquid.
"Yea. Well they have been training for weeks now. Basically since they day we got here from Sokovia. I think they deserve a break. I want to take them to the farm. I told them about it. And about Kate. And well… they want to go too. I think they want the break as much as they need it." Clint explained as he began to pace up and down the kitchen.
"Clint, you don't need my permission to go to your farm. And you certainly do not need my permission to take Wanda and Pietro. Seeing as how you are their guardian and all." Natasha smirked as her eyes followed his pacing form.
"Nat, I'm not… I'm not asking for permission to take them to the farm." Clint looked up at her "What I am trying to do is ask you to come with us."
Natasha froze. Her mug was halfway to her lips. Only a second passed before she composed herself enough to set the mug down a looked Clint in the eye. "Why do you want me to come with you?" She asked carefully.
Clint walked around the counter so he was face to face with her "Well I didn't think about it at first to be honest. I was just thinking about getting Wanda and Pietro to the farm. Showing them what a home could be like. Let them pick out their rooms and make them theirs. But then the more I thought about home, Nat, the more I realized…" He reached forward brushing his hand across her cheek as he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear "home just isn't home without you."
Natasha sucked in a breath as she locked eyes with him "Took you long enough to admit it." She said before she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him long and hard.
When Clint broke the kiss off he pulled Natasha tighter to him and kissed the top of her head. "So it looks like Tony won that stupid little bet between him and Kate…"
"It would seem so." Natasha said against his shoulder.
"What do you say about paying Kate's debt and also letting him know we knew about the little bet the entire time?" Clint grinned as he pulled away from Natasha.
"I think that is a brilliant idea." Natasha smirked
Farmhouse Next Day
Natasha, Clint, Wanda, and Pietro were all walking up to the farmhouse each carrying a duffel bag with clothing for a week's stay.
"Now, the two free bedrooms right now are set up as guest bedrooms but as of right now they are yours. The one next to Kates room is yours Wanda the one next to that is yours Pietro. Now that I am your guys' guardian I am going to make it a point to bring you guys here as often as possible when there aren't missions. And you two are welcome here without me too. This is your home as much as it is mine, Kate, and Nat's" Clint explained to the two teenagers standing beside him. They both nodded their understanding.
Clint grinned and then opened the front door wide and yelled out "Katie-Kate! We are home!"
Lucky came bounding out from the living room and jumped up onto Clint. Kate walked in soon after.
"Welcome home!" She smiled as she walked over to Clint and pulled him into a hug.
Once she pulled away from Clint she nodded at Natasha before turning to the twins and smiling "You guys must be Wanda and Pietro. Clint's told me about you both. Come on I'll show you guys upstairs to your rooms" She motioned for them to follow her.
Natasha raised an eyebrow as she watched the twins follow Kate up the stairs "So, how long do you think we have before the three of them are bickering like siblings?"
Clint let out a barking laugh as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder dropping his bag on the floor by the door. Lucky let out a whine as he began sniffing the bag "I give it three hours. Tops."
Natasha laughed with him as she dropped her bag down next to his and turn so she could wrap her arms around his neck "So, Barton, what exactly is the plan for the next week?"
Clint didn't miss a beat as he moved his arms so they were around her waist. "Well, I have a few plans in mind. For one, I want Wanda and Pietro to get to know Kate and become accustom to the farm and to me being their guardian. And two, I would really like to explore this new aspect of our relationship." He said before dropping his head down and kissing her softly.
A shrill squeal filling the air caused them to break apart and look to the top of the stairs where Kate stood looking rather excited. She quickly descended the stairs before throwing her arms around both of them.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" She chanted when she let them go as she start clapping and grinning like mad. Lucky jumped at her and began barking.
"Kate!" Natasha yelled "Calm down!" She put her hands on the young girls' shoulders to try to calm her.
Kate stopped in place but whispered "I knew it!" one more time with a smirk gracing her lips.
Clint smiled after Kate had a moment to calm herself "Ok, kid, ask away. I know you want to." Motioning for her to speak
"When did this happen?! When did you two get together?!" Kate asked almost returning to her previous excitement level
"We only got together just yesterday." Clint said
"And before you say it, don't worry about your bet with Tony, we already payed him the twenty bucks you owe him." Natasha smirked.
Kates eyes went wide with shock "How did you…" she began
"How did we know? Kate…" Clint shook his head but smiled in amusement "Kate you seem to forget that I am an assassin and a super spy. My house is wired in all the common areas and the halls."
"It also doesn't help that you made this bet in the living room while I was in the kitchen… I have very good hearing, Kate. Trust me we enjoyed paying your bet because seeing Tony's face when he realized we knew about the bet all along? Priceless." Natasha laughed as she moved forward and grabbed Kates arm. "Come on let's go make something for lunch while the twins settle in. Clint can you take my bag upstairs for me?"
"Sure thing, Nat." Clint smiled as he watched Natasha drag Kate off to the kitchen.
It was going to be a fun week.
