A couple of SHIELD agents came to work on Tony's machine and woke up the kids.
Clint was startled awake and when he sat up Natasha woke up. Pepper walked in after JARVIS informed her that they were waking up. Steve and Bruce woke up at the sound of a door closing and Tony only woke when Pepper said Good Morning. Thor snored slightly but Tony climbed over him to get out and he woke up.
"Breakfast anyone?" Pepper asked.
Bruce and Thor ran to the kitchen while Tony sat back down and rubbed his eyes. Clint looked down at Natasha before he stood and she stood up to, holding on to her doll.
They walked to the kitchen and Tony trudged along behind them.
"What do you guys want?" She asked as she looked through the cupboards.
"I want cereal." Bruce said as he got into his chair.
"I want a pop tart." Tony yawned again and sat next to Bruce.
"Me too." Thor said.
"I want cereal." Clint said and Natasha looked around before deciding she wanted cereal too.
After breakfast Pepper and Maria got some crayons and paper out for them to color.
Steve drew a flag that made Pepper smile. Thor drew some kind of creature she didn't know of, Tony drew a family standing next to a bunch of computers, Clint drew a car with a man and women inside while Natasha drew a house and Bruce drew a family standing outside with a sun in the corner.
Pepper asked them to put their names on it when they were finished and she collected them, fully planning on showing it to them when they get back to normal.
"Hey Nat?" Clint said as they all jumped down.
"It's Natalia." She corrected but didn't stop walking.
"Wanna play with the toys?" He asked not giving up. She paused and looked back at him. They watched each other before finally she nodded. He smiled and grabbed her hand as he pulled her toward the bag.
Pepper smiled at them as she went to turn on some cartoons. "Pepper, we should go outside!" Tony said and tugged at her hand.
"I don't think that's a good idea." She said.
"Why not?" Tony pouted.
"Because, it's just not." Pepper smiled.
"I'll be extra good." Tony begged and Pepper laughed. Thor ran up to them and tugged on her other hand.
"Yes, let's go somewhere!" Thor said.
Pepper glanced at Maria who just shrugged.
"Ok fine, let's get dressed!" Thor and Tony cheered and Pepper grabbed the bags with clothes in them. She got out jeans for all the boys but let them pick their shirts. Thor grabbed a plain gray shirt, Tony picked a red one with a car on the front, Steve got a green shirt with Scooby-Doo on the front, and Bruce picked out a light blue shirt while Clint found a red Nike shirt. Natasha didn't want to pick her own so Pepper picked out some jeans too and a yellow tank top.
Shoes were harder to find so Maria bought mostly Velcro-tennis shoes or Converse shoes.
There was three of each pair in sizes she hoped would fit. Thor, Tony and Bruce all picked the Velcro-shoes while Clint went right for the black Converse. Natasha picked the one pair that was gray and Steve took the last pair of black Converse shoes.
"Where are we going to go?" Maria asked as they all stood in the elevator.
"Well there is a playground park thing near here." Pepper shrugged. Maria nodded.
Once they stepped foot outside everyone went crazy. Maria held onto Thor and Tony who wanted to run off right away. Clint was starting to trust the group so he let out his mischievous side and was being sneaky as he tried to run off. Even little Natasha was showing that she too had a rebellious streak as she followed in Clint's lead. Pepper had to hold their hands to keep them with the rest of the group. Bruce and Steve were the only good two.
Once they got to the park, they saw other kids and parents around. An open field with big trees and benches and tables along with a playground in the middle made up the park Pepper saw before.
They decided to let them go but followed the trouble makers closely.
Clint dragged Natasha to the monkey bars and got to the other side in record time. She was hesitant and Clint was quick to jump down and say he wanted to go to the swings. Natasha sighed in relief as she ran after him.
Tony and Bruce were racing down the slides while Thor stayed with Steve and went up the play set.
Pepper was surprised that they spent over an hour there before they started to come back to them. Steve and Bruce were the first to find Pepper and Maria and said they were ready. Clint and Natasha were next along with Tony a few moments later. They ended up having to call Thor back to them.
On the walk back Tony spotted an ice cream store and soon all six were begging for ice cream. Pepper laughed as she opened the door and they all herded in.
Clint and Natasha both wanted chocolate while Steve wanted plain vanilla. Bruce wanted mint chocolate chip ice cream, Thor wanted strawberry and Tony wanted chocolate chip cookie dough.
They all had their cones and began walking back to the tower.
Tony who was concentrating on his ice cream, started to fall behind and he ran up to catch up to Bruce. He bumped in Natasha and she dropped her whole cone. She and Clint were in the back of the group so no one noticed as they both stopped. Natasha's eyes teared up but none fell over.
"It's ok," Clint said and held out his. "Take mine." He said and Natasha smiled as she took his cone.
They started to walk again and Pepper wouldn't notice Clint didn't have his ice cream until they got back.
