Charlie, Bruce and Tony walked into the lab. Since Bruce and Tony were sort of doctors they decided to see what the Gamma exposure did to her. Bruce knew what he was dealing with as he was an expert with gamma radiation.

"Now Charlie you're going to have to take off your clothes and put this on" Bruce instructed as he handed her a blue robe. Charlie did so even though it was uncomfortable for her.

After an hour the exam was finished. Charlie was able to get dressed and everything was good.

"Charlie now you can't do anything that will make your heart rate faster than normal" Bruce told her as Tony gave her a pill. Charlie nodded in response.

"Just stay in bed for the rest of today to make sure that this gamma monster doesn't happen" Tony told her.

Charlie decided that there was no going against Bruce or Tony. It wasn't just worth the time. So she went to her and Clint's room and got changed into her night gown. She got into bed and turned on the TV. Thankfully Clint didn't delete all of the Glee, Gilmore Girls and Modern Family recordings.

Meanwhile Bruce had gathered all of the Barton's and the Avengers. They all gathered in the dining room.

"Ok everyone the gamma radiation did more than we thought it would to Charlie. She is like me now but Charlie doesn't have control yet. But if she gets stressed or angered or anything that will get her heart rate going be very careful. Her gamma monster can control electricity, but I'm guessing Clint already knew that. I've told her to just relax today so she is lying in bed. Are there any questions" Bruce explained.

"Bruce how long does she have to go without her heart rate going up?" Emily asked.

"Umm about two to three weeks" Bruce replied. He looked over to see Clint's head drop and his expression sadden. "Oh and Clint for you it's four weeks just to be safe" Bruce told him. With that his expression went grim.

"What does Mom look like when this gamma monster takes over?" Max questioned.

"Her hair turns blue and becomes vaults of electricity, her eyes become bright yellow and her skin turns a greyish blue" Bruce explained. That was all they needed to know.

Emily decided that she would help Charlie with some marking. So she brought Charlie her mark book and the papers. She found Charlie lying in a huge king sizes bed. She was buried in a red and black comforter.

"Hey Charlie how are you feeling?" Emily asked as she climbed into bed with her sister.

"Good, did you bring the papers?" Charlie responded. Emily nodded in response. "Good."

They spent the rest of the afternoon grading papers. Around six Emily went down stairs to eat dinner. While Clint brought Charlie dinner.

"Hey love how are you feeling?" Clint asked as he climbed into bed.

"Good. I'm guessing Bruce told you what was wrong" she replied.

"Yeah. You know I'm so sorry that I wasn't there that day and I couldn't have saved you from this" Clint confessed. Charlie handed him the plate which had no food left on it.

"It's not your fault honey. No one could've changed what happened" Charlie told him. "You know that I'll always love you."

"I will always love you too no matter what" Clint responded as he pulled her onto his lap.

"I think I'm going to have a shower. If you want to join me you can" Charlie whispered in his ear. "No I'm good" Clint replied. She walked slowly into the bathroom and shut the door. Clint just sat there in the bed.

God this was going to be hard Clint thought to himself. He decided to go downstairs and get some desert. When Clint saw Bruce, Bruce was smiling like a maniac.

"Bruce I hate so much right now" Clint told him.

"Why Clint?" Bruce asked obliviously.

"You know why. You told me that I couldn't touch my wife for a month."

"Yeah so."

"Well it's hard when she's all over me" Clint explained. Bruce just smirked in response.

Steve then gave Clint a plate of cake to bring up to Charlie. When he arrived at the room he found her lying back in the bed.

"Steve wanted me to bring you desert" Clint said as he sat down on the edge.

"Thank you" Charlie replied. Clint noticed that she was wearing a black and red silk nightgown. It was his favourite one that she owned.

"I'm going to be downstairs if you need anything just holler" Clint told her.

When he arrived down stairs he saw that most of were making out. So he went to the basement. That's where all of the children were. They were all playing X-Box Kinect.

"Dad come play Star Wars with us" Francis said. Clint didn't want to disappoint his son so he did. Now being the adult he let the children win.

Then after three hours of games Clint got all of the children to bed. Then he went back to the room. He found that his wife was fast asleep. So he got changed then laid down right beside her. She snuggled right into him. So he just watched her sleep for a bit.

God she was gorgeous and it wasn't just him that noticed that. Clint always felt lucky whenever he called her his wife. It was like Charlotte Barton nee Banner was made to be with him. Charlotte had definitely opened him up to change and to accept people and that's why he loved her so much.
