Loki cringed as the sunlight came through the windows, signaling that a new day was here. He started to rise from the bed when something heaving pushing down on his chest stopped him. His first thought was Mjolnir, but as he looked down he saw otherwise. On his chest lay a fast asleep Rain. At first he thought he should wake her up, but he was not sure what kind of a morning person she was and feared what wrath she would incur. Gently, Loki tried to move her off of him and onto the bed when suddenly, her eyes started fluttering open.

"Rain, what are you doing back in here?"

"You smell good." Came Rain's muttered response as she sat up, rubbing her eyes sleepily. Loki gave her a weird look.

"Well," Rain started, as she stretched, "I'm going to get more sleep, see ya later." And she was gone again. As Rain opened her bedroom door she was startled but an upset looking Rachel.

"Where were you?" Rachel questioned as Rain walked in, closing the door behind her.

"Sleeping." Rain said plainly as she lay down on the bed, pulling the covers up around her.

"Oh really? Looks like to me you didn't get that much sleep."

"It's still early, haven't gotten my eighteen hours in." Came Rain's reply from under the sheets.

"Rain..."

"I was with Loki okay, ya happy now?" Rain finally admitted.

"You are going to scar him and the rest of the Avengers for life, I swear."

"Eh, I do what I want." Rain sang. Rachel rolled her eyes as she left the room to go downstairs. Downstairs the Avengers were just waking up.

"Okay people, we need to go grocery shopping." Rachel announced. The Avengers groaned, thinking that they were going to have to be left alone with Raina. "Okay," Tony started, "But you should take someone else, we all deserve a chance to get out."

Rachel thought about it for a minute, "Yeah, you're right, you all need to stretch your legs. How about Clint?" Clint jumped up and pumped his fist into the air, "Yes!"

"So you need to go wake up Raina."

"Why?" Clint asked, his fist still in the air.

"Because she gets the groceries." Clint's face turned to one of horror, "I have to go shopping with her?" Rachel smirked at him, "She can be mature when she wants to. And I thought you were excited to get out of the house."

"Yeah, because I thought I was going with you, not with crazy." Rachel laughed, "No, she's really good with shopping for food, just make sure she gets everything on the list. And don't let her buy too much alcohol. Oh, and limit the sugary items, for every ten she picks out, let her get one."

Clint's eyes were widened; he looked overloaded with the fact that he was going to have to babysit as he went shopping.

"Isn't she still asleep though?" Natasha asked.

"Yep," Rachel responded, smiling deviously.

"I think that since Clint is going with her grocery shopping that he should be the one to wake up Raina." Tony spoke up.

"Yeah, Clint." Natasha added.

"What? No! I already have to go shopping with her, you do it Tasha." Clint shot back.

"Too bad, you're gonna anyway." Tony told him. Clint glared at the group before finally walking off.

"Remember, if anything bad happens, this is all on you." He pointed angrily at them.

As Clint got to Rain's door he raised his fisted hand to knock on the door, hesitating for a few moments, unsure if he should do it or not. Finally, he started knocking, "Raina?" No response. "Raina, you awake?" After a few more seconds of silence he opened the door. Seeing Raina's unmoving, still asleep body on the bed he started walking towards it. Pulling back the covers he found not Raina, but a stack of pillows. "What?" Before he could say anything else there was a scream, like a battle cry, and Clint found himself being tackled from behind. Raina had jumped onto his back.

"You'll never take me alive!" She yelled into his ear.

"What are you doing, get off of me!" He yelled back as he tried to pull her off of him.

"I don't wanna go back to school mommy!" Clint finally managed to grab ahold of Rain's hands, wrenching her free from his neck, and dropped her onto her bed. "Rachel said you and me are going grocery shopping today, so get ready." He told her then left. Walking back downstairs he looked at the group and announced, "I think she's awake." Rachel could not hold back her laughter any longer.

"You look like you just got hit by a tornado!" She went on to say in between her spouts of laughter.

"Yeah, thanks for that." Clint told her, then went to one of the spare bathrooms to fix up his hair.

Upstairs Rain was feeling fairly proud of herself. As she started to fix up the destruction she had caused, Loki waltzed into the room. "Might I ask just what all that commotion was about?" He inquired as he looked around at the mess.

"Clint came up here to wake me up, I thought I would surprise him." Raina told him as she started to look through her closet for something to wear.

"So, where might you be going?"

"Well, apparently Rachel has decreed that Clint and I will be doing some grocery shopping today."

"You are going out, alone, with him?"

"Is that a hint of jealousy I hear from you Loki?" Raina teased.

"Perhaps, or perhaps I just don't trust him with you."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm pretty sure he's scared shitless for the moment, especially after my little stunt. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must take a shower. Out." Raina told him, pointed towards the door.

"Until later then." He started chuckling then left.

+~*~+

"Remember Rain, behave." Rachel told the younger girl.

"Yeah yeah." Rain called back as she and Clint walked out the door. "Oh!" Raina grabbed one of her fedoras off of the hat rack at the door then jumped back outside, closing the door behind her.

"Here, wear this." She told Clint. He took the hat from hands and put it on. Raina gave him a thumbs up and they both started to walk to the grocery store.
