Scene 11

Parts of this "deleted" scene were inspired by:

"Guest 13" and "eponineoswinoswald221b", who requested a scene with Pepperony! "Phoenix Brooke", who requested a scene with a "hilarious Clintasha exchange". I will try my hardest to make you laugh!

"Pepper being in the scene at the end, and her seeing Tony for the first time since before everything happened, and she just foes BALLISTIC...(maybe even get mad at Steve/Nat because she though they knew better)" -The Teddy Bear

"Laura coming to the tower." -Guest 13 (J)

"I wanna see Wanda meet Clint's family next!" -Aka-Baka Hoshi

Enjoy!

The Quinjet landed less-than-gracefully on the landing pad connected to Avenger's Tower. One of the landing gears on the belly of the jet had to be temporarily duct-taped by Tony just before they took off from the Helicarrier.

"Laura and your kids were flown to the tower personally by Coulson. They're fine." Tony flipped off the commlink system he had been talking to Phil on, and turning around in his pilot's seat to address the archer.

"If they have so much as a paper-cut, I'll kill him." Clint up looked at Natasha, who was wrapping a cloth bandage around his arm, where he'd been grazed by a bullet from one of Ultron's bots. Then Clint turned his ice cold eyes towards Tony, glaring over at him.

Tony's eyes met the ground, then darted over to Wanda, who was curled up in her jacket by the loading ramp of the Quinjet. She looked over at him and for a moment looked sympathetically at him, but then her eyes grew red and angry, and she went back to staring into space.

After that, the ramp opened up and exposed the cool air that was blowing across the ramp leading inside the tower. "Right." Tony nodded, then made his way quickly past everyone else and just about ran into the tower.

Natasha grabbed Clint's arm, trying to help him down the ramp so he didn't hurt himself further than he already was, but he adamantly repeated Laura's name until Natasha let him go.

"You should come inside, get some clean clothes, try to eat something." Steve tapped Wanda on the shoulder, slightly worried that she'd take his head off.

But she only nodded and waddled down the ramp, putting her arms back into her dirty, bright red jacket.

"Good job." Thor mused behind the super soldier, swinging his hammer up to his other hand.

Steve shrugged, then followed Thor into the tower with everyone else.

-LINEBREAK WHOOPTIE DOO HOW EXCITING A LINEBREAK NO WAY WHAT IS THIS WIZARDY-

"Tony. Tony!" Pepper's strawberry blonde hair flew behind her as she hopped up from the couch, where she was sitting across from Laura, Cooper, and Lila. She wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered something in his ear.

"Cell died. Had the comms opened to SHIELD." Tony explained to her when she demanded why he hadn't called sooner. Everything on the news was showing a demolished city, nothing and no one left alive on the ground. It wasn't exactly soothing to see from Laura and Pepper's perspective.

"You've met?" Clint motioned to Pepper and Tony on the other side of the couch as he approached Laura.

"You idiot." Laura had tears in her eyes when she grabbed Clint and pulled him close to her. She looked like she'd never let go, but when Natasha walked up behind him, Laura just about shoved Clint away to get to Nat.

"Are you alright?" Laura asked, straightening a loose piece of Natasha's hair and tucking it behind her ear.

"I'm fine." Natasha smiled, giving her a quick hug and then lifting Lila into the air and blowing on her tummy, earning a loud shriek of enjoyment from the girl.

"Again! Auntie Nat, again!" Lila begged, but Natasha shook her head.

"Later, okay?" Natasha rubbed her back with a pained expression. "No more robots. Ever again." She pointed in Stark's general direction before collapsing onto the couch next to Laura and Clint.

"Oh!" Wanda stumbled backwards when Cooper and Lila came running towards her at full speed, wrapping their little arms around her legs and looking curiously up at her.

"Who are you?" Lila asked tilting her head to the side. At the same time, Cooper mumbled, "I thought that it was Auntie Nat."

"I'm um-" Wanda looked over at Clint uncertainly. "I'm Wanda, I'm a friend of your dad." She explained, kneeling down to the little girl's eye level.

Lila looked bored, and ran over to Clint and jumped on his lap, earning a grunt from her dad. "How about you go play with the chair cushions?" Clint suggested, lifting her gingerly off of his lap and closing his eyes as he sunk into the soft couch.

Laura looked worried, but she just put her head on Clint's chest and wrapped an arm gently around him.

He ran his hand through her hair, and after a while, seemed to have fallen asleep.

"That's gonna be a christmas card. I'll send it to Fury... Coulson..." Natasha teased, getting out her phone and snapping a picture of Clint, passed out with his pregnant wife still wrapped around him, the expression on her face saying that she was afraid if she moved, he'd wake up.

"So why didn't anyone think to call me before you started fighting murderous robots?" Pepper finally blurted out a question that she'd been wanting to ask since the Avengers arrived back at the tower.

Thor looked at Tony, as did Natasha, and Steve. "He said that Ultron would track the signal." Natasha said, looking over at Tony, then moving her eyes to Pepper, who glared at Tony.

"You could've called me?!" Pepper screamed as quietly as she could, also trying to keep the sleeping assassin from waking up.

"That would have been a very bad idea. Like so bad that the world could've exploded with stupidity if I'd done it-!" Tony began to ramble, but Pepper was already turning her glares toward Steve, then to Natasha.

"Now, I wouldn't expect Birdbrain, Thunderguy, or MrScienceBro number two to call me, but Natasha?! Steve!? I thought you had a little sense left in you!" Pepper whispered annoyedly, crossing her arms. "You are a horrible influence on these people." She whacked Tony on the arm.

"Ow." He complained, rubbing his arm.

"Well?" Pepper looked between Natasha and Steve.

"Steve-" Natasha began, at the same time that Steve began, "Natasha should've-"

"Shush!" Pepper put a finger to her lips, then stormed out of the room with a hand dragging Tony with her. "You're going to start handling the press." She said as the door shut behind them. Tony whined in retaliation, but followed her none-the-less.

"While he's asleep I'd better make sure he's not bleeding to death." Natasha pointed her finger at Clint before climbing over the back of the couch and plopping herself down on the floor in front of Clint, hovering over his legs so as not to wake him.

She expertly detached Laura from his grasp, and went to work identifying where all the dried blood on his suit had come from.

Wanda hovered by the door, becoming slightly more alert when Natasha said that, because she knew that most of the blood on the archer had been Pietro's, Clint had carried his body onto the carrier.

Wanda sent a red spark of energy across the room, it disappeared when it came in contact with Clint's head poking up from the top of the couch.

"What are you?-" Steve began, ready to throw his shield at Wanda, but he realized she wasn't attacking anyone.

"He's not hurt too badly. Let him rest." Wanda said, then quietly stepped out of the room and back to the Quinjet hanger.

"Do I want to know?" Laura said, still a bit shocked at the witchcraft that had just taken place beside her.

"No." Steve, Natasha, and Thor answered quickly.

Cooper and Lila peeked out from behind the chairs on the other side of the room and repeated the grown-ups. "No!" They shouted, running around saying "No! No! No!" over and over again.

"Shhh!" Laura hushed them, pointing to their sleeping daddy.

"Ooohh." Lila understood, turning to Cooper and shushing him with a finger to her lips.

"You shhhh!" Cooper replied, shushing her back.

"Shhh!" Lila insisted, shushing him again.

"Lila, Cooper..." Natasha plastered on a mean-aunt face and the kids quieted down immediately.

They scampered away and went back to playing with the chair cushions.

"Hey, Tasha." Clint mumbled, not opening his eyes. "Shhhh!"

"Be quiet, you're trying to sleep!" Natasha shushed him, grinning.

This "deleted" scene was so fun to write. Very hard to keep up with so many different people in one room, but very enjoyable at the same time!
