The only part of the facility that hadn't been blown to pieces by Hydra just so happened to be the infirmary. Three rooms were occupied by Tony Stark (who was in bad shape but would be fine), Anya Stark (who was slowly regaining her strength), and Steve Rogers (who was on a speedy recovery despite having been electrocuted). The rest of the team gathered in Tony's room to discuss what their next move should be.
"I'm not sure what Hydra wants with the kid but I'm sure they'll be back when they realize their mission failed," Tony said. The inability to move without causing himself pain made him feel completely useless.
"We could go to the Avengers Tower?" Natasha suggested.
"Too obvious," Tony replied.
"We could just stay here," Pepper offered. She stood by the head of the bed, running her fingers adoringly through Tony's hair.
"If anything, this is the first place Hydra will look." Tony surmised.
"How about Stark Mansion?" Steve Rogers had limped from his room and was now leaning against the doorway.
"No," Tony immediately shot down Steve's proposal. Though Tony had spent most of his life away at boarding schools and then college at 15, he did not wish to see his childhood home be blown up. It was the one place where he felt a connection to his deceased parents.
"We can go to the farm." Clint, who was standing against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, reckoned. "It's well-hidden and no one besides a handful of people-most of who are in this room-even knows that it exists."
"That puts your family in danger," Steve pointed out.
"It's a risk we will have to take," Clint said. "We'll stay there until we find somewhere else to go."
"That settles it," Tony concluded. "En-route to the farmer's house." He paused before remarking, "And can somebody please get Bruce some pants."
Bruce blushed a violent shade of pink and Natasha could not help but snort.
"I have an extra pair at home that might fit." Clint assured Bruce. "I'll get the helicarrier ready." Clint left the room, followed by Wanda and Natasha.
"I'm going to go try to find more towels," Bruce proclaimed, his cheeks still rosy as he shrugged out of the room.
"Pepper, can you go get Anya ready?" Tony asked her.
Pepper smiled and nodded, leaving Tony alone with Steve.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Steve inclined his head and complemented Tony. "Nice work out there, Stark."
Tony was the man to lay himself on the wire.
