A/N: Yay new chapter! I am getting major filler chapter vibes after finishing this chapter and for that I apologize.
Scientists
Daisy was patiently waiting in the lobby of Avengers tower, scanning the steady streams of people in and out for her two friends. She leaped out of her seat when she saw Jemma and Fitz approaching, Fits with a large bag in hand and Jemma with a briefcase.
"Jemma, Fitz! Right over here!" Daisy called at them to draw their attention. They quickly walked over to her.
Jemma quickly enveloped Daisy in a hug "Daisy, it is so good to see you! We have missed you."
"I have missed you both as well. I swear I will come to the base to visit you all soon. Once I have Pietro and Wanda really started on their training I will come." Daisy smiled at Jemma before she pulled Fitz into a hug as well.
"Shall we go up then?" Fitz said.
"Yea!" Daisy nodded "I can show you to where you will be sleeping so you can drop off what you would like. Then we can stop off at the common floor so I can introduce you to most everyone. Then in like an hour is when you are due up in Stark's workshop."
"Alright." Jemma said only looking slightly nervous at the prospect of meeting Avengers.
Daisy led them both into the private Avenger and Co. elevator. As the doors closed Fitz spoke up "How exactly does this elevator work? You had said the other day that all the Avengers floors were on levels above floor ninety nine. There is only a keypad. Do we type in the floor number?"
"No, not exactly. The keypad is to get let onto Clint and Natasha's floor without notifying them of you being at their floor. To get to a floor you have to tell JARVIS. So, please JARVIS, if you would take us up to my floor?"
"Of course, miss" Came the ever polite response of the British AI.
Fitz looked excited as he began conversing with the AI all the way up to the one hundredth and first floor.
"All right you two. So half this floor is my place. The other is the designated 'guest apartment' as Stark calls it. It is all yours. It is unlocked and the fingerprint scanner locks are cleared and ready to have your fingerprints inputted for your stay. I am just going to go and grab something I told Steve I would give him and then we can head back down to the common room." Daisy said with a smile before turning to her apartment.
Twenty minutes later, the elevator door was opening up yet again for Daisy, Jemma and Fitz. The common room was not as chaotic as it normally was. This was because Clint and Natasha were having target practice along with Kate. Tony was in his workshop already. Jane and Bruce were in their shared lab working on their shared experiments. Darcy was running between the lab and workshop ensuring the three geniuses stayed fed and hydrated. On the actual common floor it was quite peaceful.
A movie that Daisy could not recognize was playing on the television and Bucky as well as Thor were sat on the couch watching it carefully. Steve was in the kitchen making sandwiches as he talked with a blonde woman that Daisy did not recognize. When the three of them stepped off the elevator Daisy heard a voice saying her name.
"Daisy!" Wanda's voice was coming from above her. Daisy looked up to find that the girl was yet again floating in midair and this time she was apparently reading a book.
"Wanda! Hi! Where is your brother?" Daisy asked as she glanced up at the girl
"Oh he decided he wanted to go to the training floor to work on the puzzle and maybe run laps." Wanda explained "Are these your scientist friends that are going to be working with Bruce and Tony?"
"Yea. Come down here to meet them. We can't all float in midair you know."
"Very funny." Wanda gracefully touched down on the ground. "Hello, my name is Wanda. I am one of Daisy trainees."
"Lovely to meet you. I'm Jemma and this is Fitz." Jemma smiled ash she shook Wanda's hand.
After shaking Fitz hand, Wanda turned back to Daisy "I think I am going to go and see how much longer Kate plans on shooting with Clint. She said she would help me with dinner since Pietro is useless in the kitchen." And with that Wanda was entering the elevator.
Daisy walked over to the couch both scientists trailing behind her "Bucky! Thor! This is Jemma and Fitz! They will be staying her for the next few days."
Bucky nodded a hello before turning back to the television.
Thor gave a large smile and an "It is most wonderful to meet Lady Daisy's scientist friends!" to which Jemma blushed lightly.
At that moment Steve and the blonde woman walked over each carrying a tray that was loaded down with sandwiches.
"I made enough for you, as well as Dr. Simmons and Dr. Fitz to join us, Daisy." Steve said with a smile as he and the woman both sat on the second couch.
"Thank you, Steve." Daisy said as she grabbed a turkey sandwich and gestured for her friends to do the same. "I brought the book you wanted to borrow down." She handed Steve said book.
"Thank you!" Steve said and then shook his head "Oh! How rude of me! You have no idea who this is! Please allow me to introduce you to my girlfriend, Sharon Carter."
"I kinda know who you are. Steve told me about you. And I heard about you two while I was still in SHIELD." Sharon smiled.
Jemma was staring at her slack jawed "Carter. As in Peggy Carter. As in founder of SHIELD Peggy Carter."
"Yes, that would be my Aunt." Sharon confirmed.
Jemma went all bug-eyed and before she could speak Daisy interrupted "She is a big fan of your Aunt. And we will leave it at that so lunch can be enjoyed. It is lovely to meet you Sharon."
"Always nice to meet someone who appreciates my Aunt as much as this guy-" she jabbed Steve in the chest "-and it is nice meeting you as well."
They all ate in silence and then continued watching the movie until the elevator yet again opened to reveal Bruce.
"Oh, good! You are all down here! I trust you all ate lunch and are ready to proceed with the afternoon as planned? Did you bring all of Daisy's records with you Dr. Simmons?" He smiled and went straight to business not waiting for an introduction.
"Yes. Dr. Banner. They are right here." Jemma help up her briefcase as she stood to follow Bruce. "Come on Fitz."
And with that Fitz and Jemma followed Bruce back onto the elevator and went up to Tony's workshop.
"If that workshop is anything like I imagine it to be… We won't be seeing Fitz or Tony for dinner." Daisy rolled her eyes as she leaned back into the armchair she was in. "And I am sure Bruce is going to be picking Jemma's brain about inhuman DNA so they won't be down for dinner either."
"Sounds accurate." Steve nodded
"Just get Darcy to take food up since she is so skilled at getting those genius types to eat." Bucky said snappily.
Three days later
"Thank you again for allowing us to stay here in the tower, Mr. Stark. It has been such a pleasure getting to know all of you." Jemma smiled at Tony before she was turning her smile onto all the gathered Avengers and Co.
"It really was our pleasure, Dr. Simmons. I believe it goes without saying that if your team should need help in the future the Avengers are all over it." Tony said as Steve nodded in agreement.
At that moment Fitz came dashing into the room having left a moment before to call Coulson.
"So… Minor change in plans. Coulson said there is a mission that requires Hawkeye's sniper skills." Fitz said as his eyes landed on Clint.
"Why? Don't you have a sniper on your team?" Clint asked bluntly.
"Yea… that was kind of me… I was trained to be a sniper when May took over my training." Daisy said guiltily
Clint laughed "Why haven't you said anything! We could have had shoot outs!" Clint laughed
Daisy raised an eyebrow "Yea I am not having a shootout with Hawkeye."
"Well, when I get back you are so going to the range with me and Katie!" Clint said. "Allow me to go get my things together and then we can leave on the quinjet."
Clint entered the elevator and was quickly followed by Natasha.
Clint and Natasha's apartment
Clint had already set his go bag down on their bed and was filling his weapons bag with his long distance bow and a small bundle of arrows as well as his snipers rifle. Natasha was sat on their bed next to his bag listening to him talk "The twins shouldn't give you any trouble, Nat. They both really respect you. But if you need something to hold over them… technically you are their second legal guardian."
Natasha leveled him with a look that he could not understand "What?"
"When Hill did all the paperwork and such for me being their guardian… She kinda didn't tell me that she put you down as their secondary. It means that if anything happens to me they go into your custody. And the way I see it with us in this relationship you should be considered my foster kids other legal guardian." Clint explained as he stood up and grabbed his completed weapons bag off the ground.
Natasha's face softened as he set his weapons bag down next to his other bag. He then stood in front of her. One of his hands came up to comb through her hair. "Is this going to be ok? This should only be a few days. But it has been a long time since we have gone on independent missions. A little over a year."
Natasha reached up and pulled his face down and kissed him soundly "I will be fine. And so will you. And even if we aren't, like you said it will only be a few days."
A/N: hmmm… what could possibly go wrong with Clint gone with Coulson's team?
