Clint wasn't that graceful when he dropped Tali on the bed, but she grinned as if she appreciated it anyway.

"So…was there a reason you were showing off?" he asked, and she shrugged.

"Not really," she replied, refusing to meet his eyes. Clint really couldn't help it, he had to ask.

"I used to call you Monkey…didn't I?"

She sighed and nodded, "Apparently when I was a baby I liked to grab things with my feet, and then when I was older I would climb out of my crib and…well I'd climb all over you," she shrugged, "Didn't help when I took gymnastics and started swinging on things."

"Well it makes sense," he said with a laugh, "You are like a monkey, though I've never seen a red one," he shrugged.

She snorted, smirking to herself, "Nope, I'm one of a kind," she said and then kicked off her shoes and crawled into the bed. Tony had more rooms than he could spare so Tali and Branden had rooms to themselves, even if they were plain and not what they were used to, it was better than the couch.

"How old?" it was so quiet she almost didn't hear, but she did, and she knew exactly what he was asking.

She swallowed and wrapped her arms around the pillow under her, letting out a shaky breath, "I was four."

It was Clint's turn to take in a quick breath, closing his eyes, that was really young. He had been young when he and his brother had lost their parents, but that didn't mean-

"Ah, well, sleep good and…you know…all that," he said suddenly feeling awkward, he backed out of the room and then closed the door. He glanced to the side to see Natasha standing next to it, a small down turn of her lips letting him know that she had heard their conversation.

They shared a glance, but otherwise, said nothing.

"Okay so earlier Tali gave you something, what was it?" Tony asked Branden, elbowing him in the side gently, "Uncle Tony must know."

"An MP3 player," Branden replied, looking at Tony completely straight faced, Tony just kept smiling, clearly not believing him.

Branden sighed and pulled it out of his pocket, "StarkPlayer, plays well oover 10,000 songs and videos," he said and Tony's eyes lit up, he made a grab at it but Branden pulled it back.

"No," he gave Tony an all too familiar look over his glasses, "You can not look at the tech you make in the future, that's cheating."

"You are seriously no fun," Tony laughed, "Just a peak?"

"No," Branden put it back in his pocket and sighed, "I'm kind of tired, I'm going to head to bed."

The others wished him a good night just as the Clint and Natasha walked back in.

"Hey Nat, I was wondering if you could get something for me," Tony asked innocently.
