***Barton Farm, Missouri***

The sun was almost touching the horizon, filling the sky with a beautiful orange and blue scene.

The wind blew lightly against the grass and the weeds as they swayed back and forth.

The house stood firm and clean thanks to the current resident.

***Kitchen***

In the kitchen, a girl tossed a wash rag over her shoulder as she turned the kitchen sink off, put the last dish on the drying rack, and pulled the plug to let the dishwater drain out.

She then dried her hands and went to the living room and plopped on the couch. That girl, was Kate Bishop.

She laid her arm over her eyes as she brought her feet up to the cushion, reclining into a more comfortable position.

"What a day." She sighed, relishing in her relaxation.

After a few moments of peace, the feeling of something wet and fuzzy nudging her free arm came. Kate knew just what, or who it was. Lifting her arm from her eyes, she looked upon a cute golden retriever who was staring right back at her.

A tired smile came to Kate's face as she began petting the canine. "Hey, boy!" She chirped, scratching behind the dog's ears.

The dog, who's name was Lucky, whined happily at his person as he jumped his front legs up onto the couch and leaned further into the scratching. He was loving it, and he loved Kate too.

Kate smiled at Lucky, happy to have him there to bring some light after her long day. "Ya hungry, Luck?"

The retriever's ears perked up and his head cocked to the side at that question before barking in excitement. Instantly, Kate already knowing and smiling at his response, she began to sit up from the couch and headed for the kitchen, Lucky barking and jumping up the whole way.

"I know JUST the thing for ya, bud. A little treat for you." She went to the fridge and opened it up before reaching for a large food container, pulling it out and setting it on the counter. "Pizza!"

Kate took a cold slice and held it up a bit for Lucky to jump up and grab, which he did before taking it over to his dog bowl and laid down to enjoy it. Taking one for herself, Kate reached back into the fridge and pulled out a Coke before heading back to her spot on the couch.

Reclining back on the couch, Kate propped her feet back up and took another bite of her pizza. As she relaxed and ate, she began backtracking and thought about her day.

Today, she'd been pretty busy. She had had school, then she had to cut the yard with the riding mower. Then she'd swept the floors upstairs and downstairs before dinner. Finally finishing up with the dishes to now.

Kate scratched her head as she looked around at her work. The house looked pretty good. From the floors to the bathroom, to the coffee table right in front of the couch.

Looking at the table, she saw an photo album on it. Seeing it brought a small smile to her lips as she set her drink down, reached for it and pulled it to her.

She opened it and looked at the pictures. It had pictures of the Barton Family. And some of them had her in them too.

One of her favorites was of her and Frankie together. Those were her favorite. She never admitted it out loud, but she always had a little crush on Frankie. Even now, she still had a special place for him in her heart. But now...he was gone too.

A tear fell from her eyes and splatted against the page as she began to cry. She wiped away her tears and placed the album back on the table. Soon as she place it down though, the table began to shake. Then the whole house began to shake!

[BARK, BARK]

Lucky barked at the window and jumped up to look out of it. Kate ran to the window and saw what looked like a spaceship landing in the field in front of the house.

"What the?" She whispered in confusion. Who or what was this?!

She knelt down and shushed Lucky as she began to crawl along the floor until she reached the hallway closet, reached in and grabbed something.

Suddenly,

[KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK]

Kate felt her heart drop as she heard the sound. Lucky barked and growled as he faced the door.

With no other option, Kate shushed him once again, stood up and cautiously walked over to the door.

As she walked over, multiple thoughts ran through her mind. Who could be knocking at her door? Was it aliens? What did they want here? She didn't know, but she DID know she wasn't going down without a fight.

She unlocked the top lock and then grabbed the doorknob. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door as far as the chain would allow. When she did, she saw a tall redhead teen standing there and an apple-shaped blonde girl behind the him.

'Well, they don't look like aliens.' She thought to herself.

But behind them both though, was a person she'd only heard stories of or seen on TV, the Hulk.

She calmed down a little at the sight of him, but didn't let her guard down all the way.

"Uh, can I help you?" She asked, still cautious.

"Hi, is uh...is Frankie home?" The boy with the red hair asked.

"Who wants to know?"

"Oh right! Sorry, I'm Jamie. This is Tori."

"Hi."

"That's our Uncle Bruce."

The professor Hulk nodded and waved, "Hey, how's it going?"

"And that's Rocket." The "raccoon" raised an hand from his crossed arms and waved at her.

"And we're looking for Frankie for his help. He's kinda my cousin."

Hearing that stirred Kate's curiosity. She knew that Clint was Hawkeye since he'd mentioned it when he trained them, and they'd seen him on TV as an Avenger. But she didn't know that the other Avengers had kids.

"He's uh...he's not here." She finally said.

Jamie nodded at that but sighed as a look of defeat came to him. What now? Frankie wasn't here, so where could he be? "You wouldn't by any chance know where he is, so you?"

That was also a question that Kate was asking herself as well. Along with why these guys were looking for him too. This was something. Finally, she closed the door. Jamie and the others were confused now. Was this a sign that this girl didn't want them here or something?

But they soon got their answer when they heard a chain rattle and the door reopening all the way this time to reveal the girl with a bow and arrow ready in her hands and a golden retriever behind her.

"I'm Kate." She introduced herself. "Kate Bishop. C'mon in."

Jamie and the others followed suit through the door and into the house, all except for Rocket who had been stopped by a growling Lucky who was right in front of the "raccoon".

"Whoa, whoa boy!" He exclaimed, hands up, eyes wide and a bit of fear apparent in his voice. "Easy, easy there, pooch. You don't wanna do this, trust me."

But Lucky didn't back down any, only intensified his growling as he began to stalk slowly towards Rocket.

"Hey uh, ya ever hear of Cosmo the SpaceDog?" He asked the retriever, trying to calm him down any way he could, "Is he yer brother? Cuz he's a good friend, we know each other real well. GUYS!" Rocket's heart was racing, he was going to have to run!

"Lucky!" They heard Kate call from inside the house, "leave him alone, he's ok."

That made Lucky stop growling and turn his head to listen to his master. Hearing her words, his entire demeanor changed as he turned back to Rocket and whined happily at him like a friend.

Rocket was still cautious but glad the "attack mode" of the dog had been called off. Easing by him step-by-step, Rocket slowly made his way inside with Lucky right behind him.

***Living Room***

"Time travel?" Kate asked, slightly puzzled by what she had just heard.

"Yeah, I'm just as confused as you are," Tori stated, sharing the same look as Kate. This was actually the first time she'd heard the idea herself, and it sounded quite bizarre.

"I know, it sounds kinda crazy," Bruce said, scratching the back of his neck, "but it's not farfetched as it sounds."

Kate took a minute to try and process this new information. It sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie to her. But given everything that's happened throughout the years, aliens, flying billionaires, powerful hammer-wielding beings from other planets, giant gamma monsters, and a space raccoon in a suit in her living room, this didn't seem too crazy. "And you're looking for Frankie because... " she inquired.

"Well, we're mainly looking for him to make sure he's okay and possibly bring him home. And if possible, he could help us with this," Jamie replied, taking the reins for that question. Taking that in, Kate began to think hard about something.

At that, Jamie's phone rang. Standing up and excusing himself, he walked into the hallway of the house and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey, Jamie," It was Rhodey."Nikki said you and Bruce were out."

"Yeah, we are."

"Well, I figured I'd give you this info since you were probably out that way."

"What is it?"

"You at the Barton's place?"

"Yeah. There's someone here, but they don't know where he is."

"I do, I got his location."

"Really?!" Jamie exclaimed, surprised and curious, "What is it?"

"He's not even on this continent."

Jamie roller his eyes and nodded. "Heh, figures. So where is he?"

"...Japan."

"Japan?!"

"Yeah, and it looks like he's going on a rampage."

"Alright, we're heading there now."

"Copy that. And Jamie, be careful."

The teen could hear the colonel's concern through the phone and couldn't help but smile at it. "I will. Thanks Rhodey."

Then he hung up.

"Rhodey?" Bruce asked as Jamie came back.

"Yeah, and he said Frankie's in Japan. And it doesn't look good." Kate's head jolted up at the sound of her friend's name. They knew where he was now.

"How bad?" Rocket asked.

"Like 'we need to get there yesterday bad'."

Once those words were out, Kate stood up from her seat and looked at Jamie with a stern look. "I'm coming with you." She stated.

Bruce, being the surrogate parent he was, stood from his spot on the couch and turned to Kate. "Wait, hold on there. I'm not so sure that's a good idea."

But Kate just turned to Bruce and didn't lose her determined face. "If Frankie's there, I'm going. And if he's in trouble, then I'm DEFINITELY going! The Bartons were my family too...and Frankie, he's...he's all I have left of them. And plus, if you guys think this plan of yours is going to work, then I want in too."

No other words were said as Bruce and Jamie exchanged looks and then looked back to Kate.

Torunn, who had been silent walked up to Kate and looked her right in the eyes, but the purple topped girl didn't shrink back at all, just holding her place as she and Torunn stared off.

After a few seconds, Torunn began to smile, to which Kate did too.

"I like her." The blonde said, liking back to the others. "It'll be nice having a third girl on the team."

Kate folded her arms and winked at Tori, whilst Jamie, Bruce, and Rocket just shrugged their shoulders.

Having packed a few things plus a bow of her own and leaving Lucky with the neighbors up the road and their kids, Kate made her way up the steps of the Benatar but stopped halfway up and looked back onto the Farmhouse and the land about it.

She wasn't leaving her own home of two and a half years, but she was also leaving the house that was he home of very close family friends. It was really all she had left of the Barton Family other than Frankie, and she was now worried about walking away from it.

As she continued looking at her home, she was met by Bruce who had walked down to where she was. Looking from her to the house and fields, he could understand how she was feeling.

"Don't worry, Kate," He said with a big green comforting hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay."

Looking up at him, she worriedly asked, "How do you know?"

That got Bruce, but it didn't really stump him. He knew what she meant, and he knew what his answer was too.

"Well, really, you never knew. You just hope for the best and work with what you got. And so far, we've got great team and it's still growing. And the more it grows, the more of a chance we just might have."

And like that, it began to make sense to Kate as she processed that. The more those thought about it, the more she realized Bruce was right. And with this chance they had, that was good enough for her.

"Thank you, Mister Hulk." she said with a reassures smile, "I really appreciate it."

"Anytime. And its Bruce."

Kate chuckled lightly and nodded back to him. "Bruce."

And with that, Bruce walked back up the steps. Kate looked out on the land once more with a smile before putting on a pair of thick framed purple sunglasses as she walked onto the Benatar and the steps came up behind her, the doors closed and the engine fired up.

"Hang on!" Rocket called out as the ship began to hover above the ground. "Next stop: Tokyo."
