hey everybdy!

first off i want to thank you all!

you guy were soooo great with all the reviews and favourites and follows, i absolutly love you!

now this chapter will be short but thats because i have a much better chapter coming up but it would have been too long if i put them tougether and i really didnt want to cut it up.

i decided that Barton should help Skye take care of them because i just feel that he would be the most resented of all the avengers for not knowing that Coulson lived because he was the reason he died in the first place. also Hill may be dropping by from time to time to help.

I dont own anything here except from the ideas :)

Again, LOVE YOU GUYS!

SHIELD definitely needed to upgrade their agents about taking care of children, like definitely.

Skye couldn't believe how inexperienced were the three agents that had been send to take the kids to their respective rooms. One of them took Fitzsimmons, who were cuddled sleeping in Jemma's room and woke them up, by accident he demanded, and both of them started screaming and crying.

The other ones weren't so bad but still, Skye thought, they are super agents, they should know how to deal with little kids, right?

Once each kid was settled on a bed on the room they had prepared for the team, with appropriated kid's clothes provided by SHIELD, an Agent approached Skye with an ID card.

"Hello, you must be Skye" the agent told her, he was a tall muscular man, with piercing blue-grayish eyes and blond hair, he also had his right leg on a cast and was using crutches to walk "I'm agent Barton, here" he said passing Skye the card. Agent Barton had this permanent expression in his face that meant either he had to go to the bathroom or that he really, really, didn't want to be here. Skye was pretty sure it was the last one.

"It's you're ID, it'll give you permission to take the van you'll be using to get from the base to the airfield tomorrow. If you lose it, you're screwed. Clear?" he asked her. Of course, thought Skye, they were here only for one night, tomorrow morning they would be transferred to a New York Base, where it would be easier to keep the kids and get a cure for whatever had happened to them.

"Clear" said Skye and took the card from the Agent. That's when she notice that apart from her backpack, which she had forgotten on the floor beside the door when she came in, there was a black, smaller backpack and a gym bag.

Then she remembered there being a spare bed beside hers. Was this grumpy agent going to stay with them? Skye really hoped he didn't.

"I'm helping you with the babysitting job" he said, and seeing Skye's expression he added "don't put that face, I didn't want it either, but as you can see" he said pointing at his leg "we're stuck with each other"

Then Barton turned around and went to pick up his backpack and gym bag and Skye followed him for her own backpack. As the agent crouched down to get his things he started losing his balance and Skye took his arm to stop him from falling, the man only snatched his arm from her grip and murmured something under his breath, stood up and went to his bed where he sat, beck turned towards Skye.

"You're welcome Agent Grumpy" murmured Skye before taking her backpack to her own bed and then walking to the small living room, which had been set up with a curtain to separate it from the beds, to watch some TV. She rarely had time or could watch TV since the only channels that played in the plane were some music program and one for deft people and Skye didn't knew hand language.

She turned it on and let herself fall onto the couch, it was really comfortable. She started going through the channels until she found a movie about three guys and girl who were really good magicians who broke into a bank with magic and an FBI agent, who looked suspiciously like Dr. Banner a.k.a. The Hulk, pursued them.

After a few minutes she started felling her eyelids heavy until they fell closed altogether and Skye fell into a deep sleep.

"Hey!" Skye heard a little girl's voice scream her awake. Ugh! What is it now? Her internal clock told her it was way too early to wake up so she kept her eyes closed hoping the little girl would just go away.

"Hey!" she heard again, more demanding now and immediately felt someone jumping on top of her.

"What the-" said Skye opening her eyes in surprise, little Jemma was standing on top of her legs and had her face right in front of Skye's. The little girl's brown eyes glittered with cheerfulness.

"Mind your language please, we're in front of kids" interrupted Barton with a tired tone from the little improvised kitchen on the far corner of the room where he was preparing breakfast for Leo.

"Why do little kids wake up so early?" she asked the agent as she picked up Jemma and walked towards the kitchen.

"No idea" said Barton as he put a plate with burned toasts in front of Fitz; the boy immediately complained "they're burned!"

"And the sky's blue, tell me something new" said the Agent.

"You made a rime" pointed out Jemma cheerfully.

"Hey! You can't talk like that to a kid!" said Skye to Barton taking Leo's plate away from him and preparing another set of toasts.

"Sorry" said Barton in a mocking tone, he was preparing some coffee.

"You want coffee?" he asked Skye.

"Sure" she said, Barton filled two mugs and passed one to the hacker.

"What do you want for breakfast, honey?" asked Skye to Jemma.

"Popsicle!" said Jemma enthusiastically.

"Oh, but you can't have a Popsicle in the morning!" said Skye on a goofy voice and bended down to tickle Jemma on her tummy. The girl started laughing and, soon enough, there was a tickling war between Skye, Jemma and Leo. Only Barton was out of it, looking at them funny.

"What's with all the laughter, it's nine in the morning, there shouldn't be laughter" said a tired looking Phil coming in the kitchen with a Captain America t-shirt and Ward right after him yawning heavily. Skye served Jemma some cornflakes and prepared four glasses of milk.

"Where's ma 'brother?" asked Ward pulling Skye's blouse.

Skye looked panicked at Barton, he simply said "he's with Mrs. Hall" the boy seemed happy with the answer and went to sit at the table where Jemma was sharing her cornflakes.

Skye served the kids the milk while mouthing to Barton 'who's Mrs. Hall?' he mouthed back 'tell you later' then he downed his coffee and announced "well kids once you're finished with your breakfast shower and get dressed, you guys have an appointment at the airfield you wouldn't want to miss"

"What about you?" asked Skye, she was pretty sure she remembered him saying he was here to help her taking care of the kids?

"I've got… something, but I'll see 'ya all in New York" he said walking towards his bed.

As he passed next to Skye he muttered "a shower and a change of clothes wouldn't do bad don't 'ya think darling?" he said, a smirk planted in his face.

Skye blushed and then remembered, again, that there was a kid missing "where's Melinda?" she asked.

Phil, again, was the one who answered "an agent came and asked for her about an hour ago, said she would be at the airfield at the time the plane takes off, they just needed to talk to her or something" the boy then proceeded to pour his glass of milk on a plate of cornflakes he had served himself before. Meanwhile Leo and Ward where in the middle of a cornflake fight and Jemma was silently drinking her milk.

A firm knock came from the door as Skye tried to break the fight apart. The woman that had talked Skye through the landing of the plane, Agent Hill, appeared in the doorway.

"Agent Barton, Director Fury needs to see you" she said looking at Barton who was currently picking up his crutches, back pack and gym bag in hand and was having a bit trouble "I know" he responded.

Agent Hill approached him and tried to help him. He immediately pushed her away.

"Whoa, take it easy Clint" said Hill stepping back.

That guy's name is Clint? Thought Skye, well that's an unusual name.

"Take it easy? Well now that's something people have been saying a lot lately" he said, his tone bitter. You could feel the tension in the air.

"C'mon Clint…" said Hill, Barton couldn't look at her in the eyes "let's-let's go" She said and both of them walked out of the room.

Skye was about to close the door when Agent Hill's face appeared again in front of her "make sure you get all the kids ready at 10:20, because that's when the Quinjet leaves" Skye nodded and the Agent was gone again.

"Ok, everybody, to the showers, we've only got an hour to get ready!"
