A/N: Hey guys! I know I suck at author notes, so let's just get on to the story. Um…so yeah.

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" Juliette mumbled, pacing the floor and holding her iPhone.

Clint came out of his quarters yawning, his hair a mess, and said, "Jules, it's nine in the morning on a Saturday. Go back to—"

"My parents are coming for a visit," Juliette blurted.

Clint's eyes widened and he yelled, "ALL HANDS ON THE MEETING ROOM! WE'VE GOT A STAGE NINE!" Natasha's head poked out of her door and she said, "Stage Nine?!"

Tony came running downstairs, all in a panic. "Jarvis, get me those files and possibly update DUM-E, and if at all possible, please explain to me what the hell is going on?!" Pepper was at his heels, talking into her Blackberry at top speed, "…yes, and we'll need prime security over Jane Foster's residency, we still have some of her work there, oh, and send Rhodey over here as fast as possible. Also, we'll need to get Happy sent with Mr. Stark's new secretary…"

Thor stumbled in, still half-asleep, with bits of Pop-Tart all over his face. "Why is there a Stage Nine? Surely not at this point in the morning? I say we all get some rest and forget these imagined slights or created—"

"Hear, hear!" Bruce said as he came up from the lab, where he appeared to have slept. "Has Fury been notified—?"

Among all this noise and confusion, more agents poured in, until finally, Steve (who nobody had noticed) yelled, "EVERYBODY BE QUIET!" The noise stopped. "Now can someone explain to me what's causing all this damn chaos at ten o clock in the morning?"

Clint stepped up. "Steve, we've got a Stage Nine—"

"Yeah, I know, but why?" Steve looked irritated.

"Jules's parents are coming for a visit tomorrow, sir," squeaked a small agent standing next to Juliette.

"How'd you know…? Never mind," Juliette said, rolling her eyes.

"Your—Jules's—okay, who notified Fury?" Steve said, trying to make sense of it all. He was met with silence.

"And also my sisters," muttered Juliette.

Steve pointed at each of the Avengers and Jules in turn, then pointed behind his shoulder into the meeting room. They all scrambled to enter, and a few other agents made their way in as well.

"They'll be here either today at five or tomorrow at nine, depending on the flight they take," Juliette explained, slumping down in her seat.

"Okey-dokey," Tony said, "we have two options: make the place look like a university—"

"—Never gonna happen—" muttered Bruce.

"—or we can tell them the truth and let it be," Tony finished.

"Who's to say they won't blab?" questioned Natasha.

"Nobody," said Steve and Juliette in unison.

Just then Jules's phone rang. She looked up, her eyes wild. "My parents just said they'll be here at five," she said, her voice panicky.

"We can have Phil intercept them and explain everything," suggested Clint.

"I'd feel safer if you did it," Juliette pointed out.

"Or possibly you and Steve can," Tony suggested, pointing very obviously at the man in question. He shrugged. "Just an idea, guys, don't get too excited…"

Juliette flung her arms in the air, exasperated. "Why the hell not?!"

…...

"Yes, mom, this is just my friend," Juliette muttered through clenched teeth, having just got done explaining everything from what SHIELD stood for to the GSOD (Glow Stick of Destiny).

Brynna smiled at Steve, who sat awkwardly in the seat next to her while Juliette drove and her mother sat in the passengers' seat. Her father and other sister sat in the very back seat.

"So," Brynna said, pressing herself close to the super-soldier. Steve's mind went blank as he slowly processed the feel of her breath on his face and the curve of her obviously fake breast pressing against him. "You're, like, Captain America, huh?"

"Uh, um…," he glanced at Juliette for help and tried to non-verbally explain that he would throw himself out of the car if she didn't lay off him. "Yeah."

Juliette pretended to suddenly notice her sister flirting with her friend and gained a hard expression. "Bryn. Move over a seat. Now."

Brynna glared at her. "Why should I, Half-Note?"

Juliette glared back harder and said, pinkening slightly, "Because he's my boyfriend and I said so."

Steve blinked and tried not to look surprised as Brynna slid over to the next seat in disbelief. "You can't get Captain America. You can't."

Steve offered a half smile at Juliette as he said, "Excuse me, ma'am, but I'm not Captain America. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn."

…...

A/N: I had to put that.

Anyways, this whole new development is to put things in a lighter feel, seeing as poor Steve is still getting over the whole 'Jennifer is a HYDRA agent' dealio. Also, I think it should offer up some opportunities to have Steve MAKE A FREAKING MOVE.

So yeah. Leave your opinions on the subject in that little box on the bottom of the screen, because as soon as I get 50 reviews, something awesome will happen. You'll just have to see what.

Live long and prosper,

Juliet
