The next day the teens were getting ready to go out. Clint looked at his face in the mirror seeing the cuts. As he walked out Steve and Bruce gave him looks which he ignored.

"Clint wait up" Natasha and Loki called.

They both were dressed running up from behind. As they stood waiting for the elevator they saw their older brothers looking at them.

"I wish they'd just leave us alone" Loki whispered.

"Me too" Natasha stated.

As they got into the elevator they saw Tony come around the corner. He went running to the elevator telling them to open it as the doors closed. The teens made their way through the lobby and out of the tower. They walked down the sidewalk when they saw a black SUV behind them.

"This is going to be fun" Natasha mumbled.

They broke out into a run trying to get away from the SUV. Climbing onto the roof of a building allowed them to hide.

"Think dad hired them to find us?" Loki asked.

"I don't know" Clint admitted.

"Your father didn't hire them, I wanted them to find you three so I can talk to you" a voice said from behind.

They three teens turned to see Fury. He had his arms behind his back watching them.

"Why?" Clint asked.

"I saw what you three did yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed" Fury informed.

"So?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.

"I want you three to join S.H.I.E.L.D." Fury said. "You have potential to be great heroes. I bet you're tired of just taking down purse thieves and car robbers"

"Where you going with this?" Clint asked.

"I'll let you three become heroes of your own. You will come and stay at the helicarrier with no older brothers, no parents, and no one giving you looks"

"What if we say no?" Clint asked.

"Then you can go on the way you've been fighting crime since you were ten"

The three looked at each other unsure. Natasha whispered into Clint's ear and Loki did the same.

"We're in" Clint said.

"Okay I'll be sending a letter telling you're parents that you've been chosen by a camp for your amazing talents"

"Our dad won't buy it" Loki informed.

"We'll pack our stuff, sneak out" Natasha said.

"Have a car pick us up and you have yourself three heroes" Clint smiled.

"Okay then" Fury nodded.

Loki teleported themselves off the roof and into their own rooms. Clint went to his closet pulling out a backpack and suitcase. He packed clothes and everything he needed into them. He took out his costume from yesterday packing it also with his bow and quiver.

"Sorry, but this hawk needs to be free"

Loki finished packing his backpack and suitcase. He grabbed a picture off his desk quickly putting it in his garbage pail. He had his costume in the backpack which he pulled onto his shoulder.

"I won't be a caged fox"

Natasha put the last of her clothes into her suitcase. She finished packing with putting her costume and guns in the backpack. Taking one last look at her room she reached for the door.

"You can't contain a spider"

The three all teleported outside seeing the SUV waiting for them. An agent helped them put their stuff in the trunk while they got into the back. As they drove away from the tower and their home they felt a weight come off them.

Pepper just finished making dinner when her three oldest walked in. They each took their seats at the table.

"Can you guys go get your younger siblings?" Pepper asked.

They got to their feet and went to the doors knocking on them. There were no answers at either so they went inside. They each found ripped pieces of paper and went to the kitchen to see their parents both there.

"We might have a problem" Bruce stated.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked.

They put the papers together forming one whole note. Tony read it and his eyes widened.

"They left" Tony stated.

"Who?" Pepper asked.

"Clint, Natasha, and Loki" Tony informed.

"What? Why?" Pepper asked as Steve helped her sit down.

"They said they'd had enough and had to leave" Tony said. "Jarvis track their phones"

"Sir they're in the dumpster outside"

"No. This can't be happening" Pepper cried. "Tony we have to find them. They're only kids; fourteen. Tony they could get hurt"

"I know, I'll call Fury to see if he can help us find them" Tony assured.

Tony called on his cell to have Fury answer and explained what happened. Fury said he'd try, but it might not be easy. When Tony hung up he saw Pepper looking hopeful.

"He said he'd help, but he doesn't know how easy it'll be"

"I just want them back. I want them home and safe"

Pepper got up from the table going to hers and Tony's room. Tony just took a seat putting his head in his hands.

"How could this have happened?" Tony asked himself.

"Dad we'll find them" Thor assured.

At the helicarrier the teens were given their own small apartment. Clint and Loki shared a room while Natasha got her own. They were unpacking everything as Clint put up posters on the ceiling.

"We finally get bunk beds" Clint laughed.

"You get the top and I get the bottom" Loki smiled.

As they finished packing there was a knock on the door. Fury walked in with two others following.

"Hello director" Clint greeted.

"Agent Clint, Natasha, Loki" Fury said. "These are Agent Hill and Coulson they'll be your handlers while your here"

"Hi you can call me Phil" Coulson shook Clint's hand.

"Why do we need handlers?" Loki asked.

"You three are under twenty-one so you need to have at least two guardians to be able to watch over you" Maria explained.

"So what do we do now?" Natasha asked.

"You three begin lessons tomorrow" Fury informed.

"Okay" Clint said confused.

"The lessons will allow us to see how far you are and help you get farther" Phil explained.

"Now here are your new cell phones, S.H.I.E.L.D IDs, and uniforms" Fury said handing them the stuff.

"Uniforms?" Natasha looked at it.

"When you're in lessons you have to wear them, but outside you can wear normal clothes and we'll talk about your new costumes tomorrow" Fury explained.

Fury left with Maria and Phil leaving the teens alone. The teens all went to their rooms going to bed. Clint smiled at the bunk beds before closing his eyes. Loki followed afterwards. Natasha laid out her uniform before going to bed herself.
